In September, we headed north to New York City to start scouting out the hottest new trends for Spring 2026. There’s nothing like NYC during Fashion Week, and the markets we attended certainly did not disappoint! Take a look at some of the pictures from our trip in the slideshow below and keep an eye on our inventory at Cate’s so you don’t miss any fashion drops.

Pssst… we’ll let you in on a little secret! You can already get ahead of the Spring 2026 trends with items we have in stock now! We saw a big focus on small details – embroidery, unique buttons, and utilitarian accents. It also looks like traditional patterns will make a big splash in 2026, so make sure you have plenty of stripes, polka dots, and even gingham in your wardrobe ready to go. Matching sets are steadily gaining popularity, both because of how cute they are and how practical! (We love being able to get up and go, knowing the designer did the hard work of putting a chic and coordinated outfit together.) And lastly, dramatic silhouettes are coming back. No, you don’t need to break out your 90s power-suit with shoulder pads, but fitted silhouettes on top combined with bubble shorts or wide-leg balloon pants cut a dynamic figure.

We had a great time in New York, and we’re so excited to see what 2026 has in store for the fashion world! Follow along with the trends here at Cate’s Boutique and show us your style by tagging us on social media. See you at Cate’s!
