When it comes to streetwear, every season brings a new wave of fabric innovation, silhouettes, and details that capture consumer attention. As Spring/Summer 2026 approaches, brands are already mapping out their next collections - and the ones who get fabric right early in the process will lead the market.
Gone are the days when fleece was only for winter. For SS 2026, we're seeing a shift toward lightweight brushed fleece that offers softness without bulk - perfect for oversized hoodies and relaxed crewnecks in warmer months.
Fabrics have bid farewell to their "exclusive" status of being warm and bulky. For the Spring and Summer of 2026, the strong demand for comfort has once again brought soft, lightweight fleece fabrics into the spotlight. We are witnessing a transformation in brushed fleece materials, which are soft yet not bulky. These lightweight fleece fabrics are available in a variety of premium fiber blends, including brushed wool, cotton, and acrylic, offering both elevated texture and versatile performance. In warm months, they are an ideal choice for oversized sweatshirts and loose round-neck shirts. The slim fit that enhances comfort without increasing volume, combined with fleece fabrics, successfully breaks the stereotype that "fleece = warm and bulky", finding a balance between comfort and fashion.
French Terry remains a staple in premium casual wear. The SS 2026 iteration focuses on smooth-loop finishes, pastel and earth tone dyeing, and minimalist cuts that combine comfort with sophistication.
The SS 2026 focuses on natural and comfortable fabrics and integrates new processes to enhance quality. The smooth-loop fabric is upgrading from a basic casual fabric, breaking the traditional impression by enhancing its texture through craftsmanship. Its comfort is the core driving force. It mainly features single-color or color-blocking designs in soft and earthy tones, complemented by wide silhouettes and minimalist cuts, making it suitable for "ageless" street looks. It combines comfort with refinement. From the studio to the street - the fusion of form and freedom. The sense of three-dimensionality and layering remains a staple in premium casual wear, aligning with the global fashion trend's pursuit of quiet luxury aesthetics and an understated natural atmosphere.
Cuffs, hems, and collars using high-recovery rib knit are making a comeback in SS streetwear, adding structure and style to loose silhouettes.
High-recovery ribbed knitted cuffs, hems and collars have once again become popular in spring and summer streetwear. The design combines durability and aesthetics, with high resilience that combines modernity and tactile aesthetics, adding structure and style to loose silhouettes. It perfectly echoes the current fashion industry's pursuit of the combination of practicality and aesthetics, the integration of structural sense into loose silhouettes.
Why Fabric Selection Matters Early
Selecting your fabric before the design phase is essential. Color absorption, shrinkage control, and texture consistency all influence the final garment's fit, drape, and appeal. Our team goes beyond selling fabrics - we help you map fabric R&D to finished garment production, ensuring no surprises between sampling and bulk orders.
From Trend to Finished Product
At our OEM/ODM facility, we take these trends and translate them into prototypes, lab-tested for performance, then scale production with strict quality controls. We help you turn fabrics into branded apparel - ready for retail shelves or direct-to-consumer drops.
