Spring/Summer [[YEAR]]: Three Fabrics in Focus
Lightness, elegance, expression. Lightweight denim with Lyocell delivers modern ease, lace reveals a new kind of refinement, and mesh brings colour, comfort and unexpected versatility. Three fabrics shaping summer looks – from office to holiday, from everyday wear to special occasions.
1. Structure with Attitude
Soft, fluid, surprisingly elegant. Lightweight denim with Lyocell gives a familiar classic a refined summer update.
Denim takes on a lighter, more sophisticated role in summer 2026. Instead of heavy qualities, the focus is on airy denim fabrics blended with Lyocell – soft to the touch, breathable and beautifully draped. At Ana Alcazar, denim goes far beyond traditional jeans, becoming the foundation for elegant two-piece sets, blazers and feminine dresses.
A-line dresses, sheath silhouettes and flowing midi styles gain a modern, effortless feel from soft denim. Denim co-ords – blazers paired with wide-leg trousers or waistcoats styled with skirts – look urban, confident and perfectly suited to warmer days. Colourwise, light blues, soft indigo and washed natural tones dominate the season.
Styling tip: clean silhouettes and refined accessories elevate denim for office-ready and city-chic looks.
2. Delicate strength in lace
Light, modern, self-assured. Lace appears airy, graphic and refreshingly refined.
In summer 2026, lace steps away from traditional romantic clichés and becomes a confident style statement. Instead of ornate decoration, modern patterns, sheer layers and subtle textures take centre stage. Lace feels feminine without being overly playful - ideal for contemporary summer dressing.
On sheath dresses, empire silhouettes and elegant occasionwear, lace adds sophistication and lightness. Tonal looks, calm colour palettes and clean cuts allow the fabric to shine. Two-piece outfits with lace accents – such as blouses paired with minimalist skirts – bring effortless elegance to both office and event looks.
Accessories remain understated, letting the fabric speak for itself.
3. Light movement with mesh
Airy, crease-resistant, vibrantly coloured. Mesh combines comfort with visual impact.
Mesh is a key fabric for summer 2026. Printed mesh in particular stands out, with colours appearing especially vivid and expressive. Lightweight, non-creasing qualities make mesh ideal for travel-friendly dresses that maintain their shape and elegance on the go. From fresh aqua tones to soft rosé and warm sunlit hues, colours truly come alive on mesh.
Mesh dresses are perfect for holidays, everyday wear and summer occasions alike. Sheer layers add depth, while thoughtful cuts provide structure. Tunic styles, wrap dresses and softly contoured silhouettes make mesh versatile, flattering and comfortable – even on the hottest days.
Styling tip: keep accessories minimal to let prints and colours take centre stage.

FAQ: How to Care for Your Clothes
Whether it’s washing, ironing or understanding fabrics – here you’ll find answers to the most common questions about care labels, materials and how to look after your favourite pieces.
How do I read care labels correctly?
Clothing care made simple
Too hot in the wash and suddenly your favourite trousers are too tight – a classic mistake. Often this happens because care labels are misread or symbols misunderstood. It doesn’t have to be this way: in our compact guide you’ll learn what the most common symbols for washing, bleaching, tumble-drying and ironing really mean. This way you avoid annoying mistakes and keep your clothes beautiful for longer.
How do I iron properly?
Ironing is rarely anyone’s favourite household task – but with a few clever tricks it becomes much easier. In our guide you’ll discover how to get shirts, trousers and skirts crease-free, which fabrics need which temperature, and how a bit of preparation can save you a lot of time. We’ll also give tips on the right iron and accessories so ironing becomes quicker and more efficient.
How to care for faux leather properly?
Faux leather stands for modern chic and conscious style – elegant in appearance, soft to the touch, and a cruelty-free alternative to genuine leather.
This material impresses with its smooth surface, shape retention and easy-care nature – perfect for jackets, skirts or bags with an urban edge.
To keep faux leather supple and shiny for a long time, it should be cleaned regularly with a soft cloth, protected from heat, and treated with special care products. This preserves the texture and keeps the material looking premium and refined over time.
What do the abbreviations on care labels mean?
Labels often show abbreviations such as CO, PA or VI. These stand for the textile fibres used and are internationally standardised. This way you can quickly see whether your garment is made of natural fibres like cotton or wool, semi-synthetic fabrics like viscose, or man-made fibres like polyester. Our overview explains all abbreviations in detail and helps you better understand material, care and sustainability.
How do I care for linen?
Linen is considered the ideal summer fabric: lightweight, breathable and pleasantly cool on the skin. With its gentle sheen it also looks elegant and timeless. The material is strong, durable and naturally dirt-repellent – perfect for trousers, dresses or blouses with a relaxed silhouette. To maintain linen’s unique look and wearing comfort, wash it gently, dry it properly and iron with care.
