Ready to dive into a new season?

Spring 2026 feels familiar in the best way, with nostalgic favourites returning in fresh new forms.

Capri pants are back in the conversation. Silk skirts are moving into daylight hours. Jelly has left the playground and found its way onto grown-up feet. Accessories are doing more, bangles stacked, pendants worn long, scarves tied at the waist, sunglasses taking up serious space.

Blue skies are back. Come to Grand Central for your spring fix, then stay for the pedicure that makes the new flip-flops feel official, or a long lunch with the friend you somehow haven’t seen all winter.

COME FOR…

How are we wearing capri pants in 2026? It’s all in the proportion.

The capri is back, but not as you remember it. This time, it’s cleaner, sharper and a little more knowing: mid-rise, close through the leg and cropped just below the knee. The trick is balance.

Try a pair from Just Jeans or Sportsgirl with an oversized shirt from Decjuba, then let the shoe set the mood: pointed flats for work, jelly shoes for fun, or a sleek thongs for running around. 

And like so many spring trends, it’s better on than imagined. Try them on before you rule them out.

What skirts are trending for spring 2026? The ‘90s midi returns.

As the days warm up and tights are well and truly out of the equation, the midi skirt is ready to come back out. The ’90s column skirt leads the return, sleek, simple and cut close to the body. Find one at Sheike or Portmans and wear it with a tank, tee or oversized shirt.

Prefer something with a little more movement? Try an A-line midi from Seed, with an easy shape that works just as well for the office as it does for lunch. Add ballet shoes or flip-flops and consider the spring wardrobe switch officially underway.

What shoes are trending for spring 2026? The fun is underfoot.

Jelly returns in a more grown-up mood, with glossy mules and translucent finishes replacing the nostalgic sandal. Thongs have left the beach, ballet flats are still firmly in rotation, and sharper silhouettes are giving everyday dressing a fresher edge.
Find jelly mules at Kmart, flip-flops from City Beach, ballet flats at Midas or something a little less expected from Skechers

Sometimes, the shoe really is the outfit.

What accessories are trending for spring 2026? The details make the look. 

This spring, accessories are doing more than finishing an outfit, they’re shaping it.
Stack sculptural bangles from Midas, wear a long pendant from Witchery over a simple tee, tie a scarf from Myer low at the waist, or go oversized with sunglasses from Sunglasses Hut.

The styling feels deliberate: a strong shape, a little repetition, one detail that pulls the whole look together. Sometimes, it’s the smallest pieces that make the biggest shift.

How do you get the Spring 2026 look for less? Follow the idea, not the label.

Fashion travels quickly now. A silhouette appears on a runway, then turns up weeks later in a version that’s more wearable, more affordable and often easier to make your own. So instead of chasing the exact piece, chase the idea.

The split-toe flat from Big W. The oversized sunglasses from Kmart. The jelly bag at Target. The scarf worn low at the waist from Cosmetics Plus.

What matters is the code, not the logo. See what you like, find your version and wear it your way.

STAY FOR…

What nail colours are trending for spring 2026? Consider this the finishing touch.

New shoes call for new nails, especially when the flip-flops are coming out.

Lobster red is the colour to watch, worn short and square for a clean, confident finish. If red isn’t your thing, the classics are having a moment too: a barely-there French, sheer ballet pink or a touch of soft chrome.

Book a mani-pedi at Rainbow Nails or find the season’s shades at Priceline.

Because nothing shows off a new pair of flip-flops quite like a fresh pedicure.

Where should we catch up at Grand Central this spring? Make an afternoon of it.

The best shopping days are rarely just about shopping. They start with one thing in mind and somehow stretch into coffee, lunch and a few hours you hadn’t planned for.

Meet a friend at Jamaica Blue. Shop for a while. Stop at Piccolo Papa when you need a break. Order something cold at Wendy’s and lay the purchases out on the table for a second opinion.

You came for the capris. She came for shoes. Lunch was inevitable.

Got plans later? Stay and get ready. 

Sometimes the outfit is only the beginning.

Book a blow-dry at Stefan, tidy up your brows at Pure Indulgence, find a new lipstick at Priceline or try a fragrance from Myer that feels like spring.

You came for something new to wear. Stay until you’re ready to go somewhere in it.
