A stylish new year As we welcome a brand-new year, there’s a sense of renewed energy running through the accessories sector. Buyers are reassessing ranges, brands are preparing launches, and trends are beginning to take shape for the months ahead. Here at Attire Accessories, we’re excited to be on that journey with you – bringing inspiration, insight and a curated snapshot of what’s next for our industry.
And what better way to start the year than with one of the biggest buying moments in the calendar? Spring Fair returns with another packed showcase of fashion and accessories innovation, and in this issue, we bring you a comprehensive preview of the new Fashion at Spring Fair section to help you navigate the halls with confidence.
Our first issue of the year also puts the spotlight on key growth categories shaping 2026. Children’s accessories, men’s accessories, and travel accessories remain strong, trend-led opportunities. We also explore the latest in summer footwear – from beach-ready styles to lightweight city options – and check in with the eyewear sector as bold silhouettes and technical innovation set the tone for the season ahead.
Whether you’re refreshing your offering or planning ahead for the next buying cycle, we hope this issue sparks ideas and supports your buying decisions throughout the year.
Here’s to a stylish and successful 2026.
Enjoy the issue!

Employees and workforces across the UK are feeling the strain of the cost of-living, with the Office for National Statistics (ONS) finding that nearly half of households throughout the country have experienced their living costs increasing compared to the previous month. Not only can this have a huge impact on expenses for commuting but can have a significant knock-on effect on mental health and morale. This is where employers and businesses can support their workforces during these difficult times to help keep morale and well-being boosted, as well as providing options that can help relieve some of the financial pressure that they're under. Before providing solutions to the issue, it's important to understand the reality of this crisis and how the ripple effects impact millions of workers in the UK. The rise of consumer goods and services by 9.6 percent in October 2022 and the inflation rate staying at 4.2 percent exiting December 2023 means that workers are forced to reevaluate how they manage their money and the resources available.
