Selected’s Fall/Winter 2026 collection is based on ‘Håndværk’, the Danish word for craft. Material integrity, functionality and the human touch are the focus of the season. This philosophy is directly underpinned by the collaboration with the Danish Michelin star restaurant DOMESTIC. Its commitment to local sourcing and seasonality reflects Selected’s design ethic.
Similar to a professional kitchen, FW26 values process, precision and restraint. The craftsmanship is translated into a sophisticated, modern workwear wardrobe. This is characterized by calm silhouettes and targeted layering.
Material development plays a central role this season. Premium wool, alpaca and cashmere blends are combined with brushed cotton, wide corduroy, quilted nylon and bouclé textures. Knitwear stands out with classic Fischer styles made from 100 percent regenerative and traceable NATIVA wool. It is often worn as a subtle mid-layer under jackets or sleeveless over long-sleeved jerseys.
Outerwear remains an important commercial factor. It includes Italian wool qualities from MANTECO and Scottish wax cotton from Halley Stevensons. Refined shearling and lambskin underline durability and craftsmanship. This is evident in looks based on clear overshirts. These are combined with casual, olive-colored trousers and neutral jersey basics. Softly structured jackets paired with tonal skirts or wide-leg pants are also included. Textural depth is created through corduroy, textured twills and natural-feel fabrics. These support layering without visually weighing you down.
The color palette strikes a balance between commercial clarity and emotional depth. Off-white and cream tones refer to the purity of natural fibers. Anthracite and cool gray tones provide structure and create a contrast. Warm brown tones, Turkish coffee and turmeric tones dominate trousers, skirts and outer layers. Shades of green from avocado to fir combine the collection with nature and renewal. These shades are often styled tonally. This creates calm, harmonious outfits with strong cross-merchandising potential. Industrial blue tones complete the overall picture with a subtle nod to workwear.
A highlight of the season is the collaboration with the Danish Michelin star restaurant DOMESTIC. She translates local sourcing and seasonality into a minimalist capsule collection. The hero pieces include a reinterpreted ‘Foraging Jacket’ made of ripstop cotton with natural wax. It is paired with undyed wool trousers and traceable knitwear. The outfit visually and conceptually reflects the values of restraint, seasonality and respect for raw materials.
The FW26 collection is spread over delivery dates in August, September and October. It focuses on outerwear, knitwear, casual cuts and modern trousers as central pillars of wholesale. Subtle adjustments to proportions ensure easy cross-merchandising and long-term relevance. This includes slightly longer coats, relaxed leg shapes and softer silhouettes. Selected continues to expand its retail presence in 2026, with a strong focus on key German cities.
