7 Spring Fashion Trends Europe's Best-Dressed Are Already Wearing
If you need some fresh inspiration for spring 2026, keep scrolling for seven stylish trends I've spotted on women in different European destinations.
It’s still very much the middle of winter here in the UK, but I’m already dreaming of the sunnier spring days to come. And this, of course, involves researching the trends set to dominate the season in order to stay ahead of the curve. My first port of call? My favourite European fashion influencers, of course.
Whether they’re wandering around cobbled streets and finding a chic Parisian cafe for a long lunch, or heading out for a late dinner with an Aperol Spritz in hand in Rome, European women just always get it right. And while their approach to autumn and winter dressing never misses, it is in spring and summer where they really shine. Even now, in mid-January, the most stylish women across the continent are already setting the tone for spring 2026, acting as early adopters of what will become the season’s biggest trends.
What are these trends I hear you ask? Well, after hours of scrolling on Instagram, I’ve narrowed my attention down to seven key trends to incorporate into my wardrobe. From elevated jewellery to pretty blouse styles, these are the stylish spring 2026 trends Europe's best-dressed are already wearing.
7 European Fashion Trends to Copy in Spring 2026
1. London, England - Bloomers
Style Notes: When the sunnier spring days arrive, you’ll be grateful for the lightweight bloomer styles that London fashion people are currently in love with. It's the perfect alt to jeans or tailored trousers and I’ve already started to spot this Victorian-esque trousers style on my commute to work, and I’ve quickly been inspired to invest in my own pair in time for spring.

2. Stockholm, Sweden - Lace-Trim Separates
Style Notes: It’s clear to anyone who follows trends that there’s been a vintage revival as of late, from pirate blouses spotted in Paris to bloomer pants dominating the London scene. The Scandi girls? They’re focusing on lace-trim separates reminiscent of the Edwardian period this spring. Whether layered over a t-shirt, trousers, or jumper, it’s an easy way to make your spring outfits look that much cooler.

3. Paris, France - Pirate Blouses
Style Notes: After spotting the pirate-core aesthetic on the spring/summer 2026 runways, it should be no surprise that buccaneer-inspired blouses are taking over Europe this summer. And of course, it’s the French girls who are leading the pack on chic ways to wear them. Hint: This romantic top style does the work for itself, so pair it with sleek basics like a black A-line skirt, as pictured above.

Such a pretty shade of blue.
Wear with jeans, skirts and Bermuda shorts alike.
4. Barcelona, Spain - Baroque Pearls
Style Notes: I’m always partial to a pearl necklace, but they sometimes feel a little too formal. For a much cooler take on the gem, Spanish fashion people are turning to unique, uneven baroque pearls that feel a bit more wearable for everyday but no less elegant when you want to dress them up. Me personally? I’ll be investing in a pendant to add to my cord necklace, like the Monica Vinader iteration below:

5. Milan, Italy - Sheer Polka Dots
Style Notes: Polka dot blouses are set to be everywhere yet again next season, but the Milan fashion girls have an even cooler take on the trend for spring 2026. Enter sheer polka-dot separates. An easy way to elevate even your most basic of outfits, sheer polka dots in the form of dresses, tops, and skirts alike feel equal parts fresh and classic.

Style Notes: Funnel-neck wool coats were huge among stylish dressers in winter, and for spring 2026, fashion people in Oslo are leading the charge with lightweight trench iterations in this elegant style. Whether you opt for a cropped version like Nnenna has or prefer a classic midi style, this trend is sure to make your spring outfits look put-together and intentional.

Style Notes: Ballet flats are timeless, but trust the Copenhagen fashion girls to find a flat shoe that's even cooler for spring 2026.
