In the fall-winter 2026/2027 season, designers took the classic shirt and slightly changed the approach to its styling. At the shows of Bottega Veneta, Jil Sander, Balenciaga and other brands, shirts appeared on the catwalk in a new interpretation.

And the best thing about this trend is that it’s incredibly easy to replicate. Fashion often relies on either iconic items or desirable new items of the season. But every now and then, designers offer not a new item, but a new take on well-known and basic items. And this is especially valuable, because it doesn’t cost anything to recreate such a stylistic technique.
