Fashion Brands You Should Know About In 2026

 Hello everyone!

Welcome back to the blog! I hope you're doing amazing. I wanted to write this article back in January, but things came up in real life. Fortunately, I'm back to writing. I like to think I'm pretty great at curating and blogging. I scour the internet looking for brands and pieces that you all will love. Today, I am going to share brands you need to know about in 2026. These are fashion brands that I discovered and love. Some of these brands are niche, some are only new to me. Either way, I feel that we all should be aware that these brands exist. 

1. Acne Studios

Definitely not new, as Acne Studios was founded in 1996. This ready-to-wear brand is based in Stockholm, Sweden. I was put onto this brand by VisualNomad and their remarkable shoes on IMVU. In my opinion, this is a good brand for anyone who's just getting into luxury brands. Ance Studios is primarily recognized for its denim, but has recently gained popularity for its leather goods. It's artistic and eclectic while also being structured and cool. That may be why Ance Studios has amassed such a large fanbase despite being a relatively new brand. 

2. Worth Collective

Do you like Selkie but wish it were more casual? Are you an expecting mommy-to-be? If so, say hello to Worth Collective. This brand has gained traction for its bump-friendly clothing, but its catalog isn't exclusive to maternity clothing. Worth Collective is all about flowy, feminine clothing that makes women feel good. Their dresses are perfect for frolicking in a meadow or having a picnic by the beach. 

3. Mirror Palais

Maybe you don't know Mirror Palais, but I guarantee you've seen at least one of their items go viral on the internet. This is probably the sexiest clothing line I've ever seen in my life. This is for the girls who are planning that summer vacation and want to be everywhere but their hotel room. From little black dresses and evening wear, to bridal gowns and bloomers. Mirror Palais has this dreamy, feminine, sensual vibe. It looks how Kali Uchis and Sade sound. I feel like the designer behind this brand, Marcelo Gaia, just gets women. He knows what we want, so he gave it to us. 

4. Church of Sanctus

I had to put at least one gothic brand on this list. Church of Sanctus is run by one woman, and boy, does she run that business like the Navy? Sanctus in Latin translates to "holy" or "ghost". The brand does feature religious iconography, so if that's not your vibe, you have been warned. The designer has such an eye for detail, like shirts with clergy collars and monastery hoods on coats. Church of Sanctus is all about handmade slow fashion. While the designer does have permanent staples in her brand, items do go quickly. (Bring back the Sancta Maria Dress pls)

5. Osoi

I learned about Osoi last year. Very underrated, it's actually disrespectful how nobody talks about them. Osoi is a Korean brand that specializes in purses and bags. They have a very minimal, timeless look that reminds me of something you'd see in the early 2000s. Not in the girly, hyperpop sense but something an everyday woman would carry. Osoi uses real leather, so if you prefer to shop ethically this may not be the brand for you. From what I have seen, each bag from Osoi seems durable and of good quality. You can tell they put effort into making each product. And the amount of space? Each bag comes with two keys (they don't unlock anything, they're decorations) that can come off; you can even customize your bag with keychains and bag charms. 

6. Highly Liquid

I am a weird woman; I have weird taste. Even once in a while, I'll find a brand that makes me say "What the fuck?", but sexually. Meet Highly Liquid, for the fun and uncanny woman. At the moment, Highly Liquid seems to be focusing on intimates, as they did a whole rebrand last year and some things aren't featured on the site anymore. Regardless, if you like cheeky fashion this is for you! I do like the medieval motifs in their camisoles and dresses. I've been eyeing the Grimore Dress for a while; that would fix all my problems. 

And that is all I have for you today, lovely people. Some of these brands are small and underrated, while others were introduced to me via my mutuals. Overall, many names on this list have been seeing traction in the past year, and rightfully so. Let me know what you think. Do you have any brands I should know about? I want to make this an ongoing series on the blog, so what other brands and designers should I talk about? Let me know in the comments or over on Instagram.
