When Colour Leads Change — The WGSN × Coloro Palette for S/S 2026

2026 marks a turning point of redirection—a time when old ideas are questioned and new directions emerge.

WGSN (Worth Global Style Network) is the world’s leading consumer and lifestyle trend authority, forecasting how people will think, live, and buy in the years ahead. In collaboration with Coloro—a human-centered colour system—they translate these shifts into colour directions that define S/S 2026 and beyond.

For performance apparel and urban lifestyle brands, colour is no longer decoration—it’s the intersection of technology, sustainability, and emotion. It echoes Hwafune’s core value: human-centered development of premium functional fabrics.
