At Tory Burch, embracing the style of a trendy uptown girl is on the agenda for Spring 2026.

      If your aim is to emulate the style of someone from NYC's Upper East Side who favors skirts and heels and eagerly embraces the latest trends, then the Tory Burch runway essentially represents your shopping list for spring 2026. The brand, affectionately known as "Tory" by the fashion set, recently unveiled its S/S 26 collection at NYFW, and it certainly lived up to expectations. The tailoring was flawless, and the collection showcased vibrant looks that were both joyful and sophisticated. The underlying theme of the S/S 26 runway was playful elegance. As is customary with any modern collection by the fashion house, meticulous attention to detail was evident, with every embellishment, collar shape, and skirt silhouette thoughtfully considered. Tory Burch has a knack for setting trends and creating must-have items, and this spring collection was no different. While we will have to wait to see which of these "cool uptown" trends gain traction, I have a few predictions that I think you will agree with after viewing some of the standout looks. Continue scrolling to discover the trends endorsed by Tory Burch for S/S 26.

      **The It Girls in Attendance**

      **The Most Prominent Trends**

      **Elegant Midi Skirts**

      The Tory Burch runway featured numerous skirts, but there were no minis or maxis in sight. Every skirt was midi-length, displayed either a flared or slim column shape, and confidently showcased popular skirt trends that are set to continue into 2026, thanks to Tory Burch's emphasis on them. As for styling, the skirts were predominantly paired with belts and pumps.

      **Embellished Pumps**

      When it comes to shoes, embellished pumps were the standout trend on the runway. Staying true to Tory Burch's reputation (the brand introduced the viral pierced shoe trend, after all), each pair featured decorative metal rings or intricate beading. There were slingbacks and kitten heels available in a range of colors, including white, red, and various neutrals. I anticipate these will be highly sought after in the coming spring.

      **Collared Knitwear**

      Polo-necks have been a staple of the preppy look that has been in vogue this year, but at the Tory Burch S/S 26 show, the collared knitwear presented was characterized by uptown sophistication rather than polo match aesthetics. The trend featured slightly exaggerated collars on fitted cardigans and folded origami-style collars on more relaxed silhouettes, all styled with skirts or tailored trousers.

      **Structured Frame Bags**

      No Tory Burch runway would be complete without an elegant bag or two, and this season's favorite was the structured frame bag with a top handle. Many of these bags included a belted detail at the top, which could be styled buckled or undone for a laid-back, cool uptown girl vibe.

      **Tailored Blazers**

      Every refined spring wardrobe requires blazers, and Tory Burch's offerings were impressive. Opting for fitted longline blazers instead of cropped, boxy styles, many featured wide notched collars. (Once again, unique details are paramount at Tory Burch.) The tailored blazers complemented the collection's slim trousers and midi skirts perfectly.

      **Soft-Focus Eveningwear**

      If Tory Burch isn’t typically your go-to for eveningwear, it’s time to reconsider. The collection concluded with a range of elegant gauzy pieces in pastel shades and black, all in midi lengths. Some garments included sheer elements and embroidery, while others were made of crinkled fabrics with a subtle sheen. All were soft and beautiful but unmistakably chic.
