New Season, New Mood: Western, Flannel, and Bordeaux
The autumn trends for 2026 combine flannel, Western elements, and rich burgundy and brown tones with modern shirts, overshirts, jackets, coats, and knitwear. The cowboy look is not interpreted as a complete Western outfit, but rather through individual details such as bandana patterns, textured fabrics, earthy colors, or striking outerwear. Laneus and Kujten pick up on key elements of this trend with their own distinct signatures: Laneus through knitwear, color, and textures, and Kujten through, among other things, cashmere and its world of bandanas. For a contemporary look, a concise Western accent is recommended, while the rest of the outfit remains deliberately understated.
At loui.rocks, you will find both brands in the current autumn/winter 2026 selection – discover the new Laneus and Kujten collections here or let us advise you directly at our store in Essen-Bredeney.
Western fashion has its origins in functional clothing and continues to shape fashion today with cowboy boots, bandanas, robust shirts, and jackets. In 2026, this aesthetic is being reimagined in a more modern way: the Fall/Winter 2026 collection "Return of the Space Cowboy" by Advisry, for example, combines Western references with contemporary tailoring and earthy colors. Flannel plays an important role as a soft, often brushed fabric quality, with the specific fiber composition varying depending on the garment. Bordeaux, or burgundy, is also part of the relevant color spectrum and can be combined particularly coherently with cream, camel, dark brown, gray, or black.
The autumn trends for 2026 are particularly suitable for anyone looking to update their existing wardrobe through color, material, and individual Western details, rather than fully adopting a trend. In this context, Laneus stands for expressive knitwear, jacquards, colors, and varied textures, while Kujten creates a direct link to the Western aesthetic with cashmere and its bandana line, which has been under development since 2020. Models like the bandana print Kujten refers to as the "Hachiko Western" show this connection particularly clearly. For a subtle start, burgundy knitwear or a flannel overshirt work well, while bandana motifs, textured jackets, and stronger Western details make the trend more visible.
How to wear the Western look in 2026: fit, styling, and care
When it comes to shirts, overshirts, jackets, and coats, the size should always be chosen based on how the garment is intended to be worn. A shirt can have a closer fit, while an overshirt requires enough room for a t-shirt or knitwear underneath; therefore, a larger size is not automatically advisable for models that are already generously cut. The deciding factors are the shoulder area, chest width, sleeve length, and the silhouette intended by the designer. Especially for layering, overshirts, and outerwear, personal size and styling advice at loui.rocks in Essen-Bredeney can help to correctly assess the fit and combination.
Regarding styling, the rule is: the more striking the Western element, the more understated the rest of the look can remain—such as a flannel overshirt with denim or wool trousers, a bandana with simple knitwear, or bordeaux paired with cream and dark brown. When it comes to care, the specific material composition and the manufacturer's label are always decisive; flannel, for example, can consist of different fibers and have correspondingly different requirements. For certain Kujten products made of 100 percent cashmere, the brand recommends cold hand washing or a cold wool cycle, a low spin speed, and drying flat—however, these instructions should not be applied universally to every cashmere product. Delicate knitwear and high-quality outerwear should also not be washed unnecessarily often, but rather—if the material and care instructions permit—aired out regularly and stored carefully.
The fashion trends for autumn 2026 show, above all, a combination of characterful materials, warm colors, and reinterpreted Western codes. Bordeaux offers an uncomplicated entry point, flannel and overshirts bring structure and layering to the wardrobe, while bandanas and the space cowboy look set stronger fashion accents. The decisive factor is not so much to mirror a trend completely, but to select garments that can be combined with your own wardrobe in the long term, independently of the trend.
