Autumn and winter are the time when textiles become the main element of comfort and style. Their variety – from warm coats to cozy blankets – sets the tone of the season. Their quality defines the aesthetics, sense of comfort, and overall mood. Every year, textile manufacturers offer new solutions – a blend of tradition and innovation, beauty and practicality, comfort and accessibility or exclusivity.
Popular Materials and Textures in Textiles, Autumn–Winter 2025–2026
At the forefront are materials that combine comfort, aesthetics, and sustainability. Texture is no longer just a decorative feature – it reflects the spirit of the time: a desire for warmth, balance, and emotional harmony.
Wool – the Classic of Warmth and Structure
Wool once again takes the lead. Designers turn to its natural structure, emphasizing softness and volume.
In trend:
- dense coat fabrics with a coarse texture;
- soft cashmere and alpaca for cozy sweaters and blankets;
- drape and tweed for outerwear with a vintage mood.
Wool becomes a symbol of sustainability – durable, natural, and minimally processed.
Boucle and Tweed – Texture with Character
Complex surfaces, loops, and irregularities create a play of light and volume. Boucle and tweed return not only to fashion but also to interior textiles:
- cushions;
- throws;
- upholstery fabrics.
These materials add depth and nobility, visually warming the space.
Velvet and Corduroy – Tactile Luxury
Soft sheen and a velvety surface create a sense of warmth that words can hardly convey. Used in both evening fashion and home decor – pillow covers, curtains, and decorative accents.
Corduroy, its more “everyday” relative, confidently returns to wardrobes and interiors. Its ribbed structure adds movement to the texture and gives the image an intelligent retro charm.
Eco-Leather and Matte Finishes
Modern eco-leather impresses with its realism and softness. It is not trying to imitate natural leather but stands as an independent material with its own character.
At the peak of popularity – matte finishes, velvety surfaces, and a subtle waxed sheen.
Used in outerwear, accessories, footwear, and home decor.
Tactile contrasts are also in trend – combining eco-leather with wool, velvet, or nylon.
Knitwear and Terry Textures
Soft, elastic, and cozy – knitted fabrics become the key material of the season. The focus is on a voluminous, hand-crafted effect.
Knitwear is actively used not only in clothing but also in home textiles – from bedspreads to decorative elements.
Terry cloth and fleece highlight comfort and protection, making them perfect for the colder months.
Satin, Silk, and Viscose – Gentle Shine
Against a background of predominantly matte textures, a contrasting accent appears – smoothness and shine.
Satin, silk, and viscose symbolize light and motion. They combine perfectly with wool and velvet surfaces, creating a refined balance.
The trend is a “soft gloss” – a subdued sheen that makes the fabric look natural and elegant.
The main feature of the season is the mixing of materials. Wool pairs with nylon, velvet with leather, linen with wool. The contrast of soft and hard, matte and glossy becomes an artistic device. Thus emerges a new aesthetics of layering – a reflection of the complexity and diversity of the modern world.
Aesthetics of the 2025–2026 Season
Autumn-winter collections lean toward natural, deep shades – ochre, terracotta, khaki, graphite, and warm chocolate. These tones evoke a sense of coziness and stability.
As a contrast, accent colors appear – burgundy, emerald green, navy blue, and plum. They add depth and expressiveness to the look.
Also relevant is textural monochrome – when fabrics of the same color differ only in texture: matte wool combined with glossy satin or dense corduroy.
Prints and Decorative Accents
This season, textile design favors moderation, focusing on timeless patterns:
- plaid – from classic tartan to large-scale geometry;
- soft abstract motifs;
- ethnic elements and hand-embroidery imitations.
Prints become more subdued, giving way to texture play and material contrast. They combine the aesthetics of naturalness and personal expression.
Excessive shine gives way to thoughtful expressiveness. Each element – whether a graphic pattern, floral motif, or textured finish – becomes part of the story the fabric tells.
