2026 Trend: Botanical Motifs – An Explanation of Past Floral/Flower Motif Trends and How They Differ –

Share this blog post




Hello. This is Kimura from the ApparelX Trend Blog.

We're enjoying warm and pleasant spring weather, making it a season that makes us excited about fashion.


Last year, we introduced floral prints and flower motifs, which were also trends for 2025, and it seems that the trend of plant motifs derived from floral/botanical patterns will continue this year as well.

This time, we'll introduce the botanical motifs that are trending in 2026/27, comparing them to past floral patterns!

What did you think? Thank you for reading to the end.

Personally, plant motifs have always been one of my favorite themes, so I'm thrilled that they've become a trend, making it easier to find cute plant-themed items.


In recent years, the perception that "floral patterns are only for spring" has been fading, and it seems that floral patterns and plant motifs are beginning to be recognized as year-round trend motifs that allow for individual expression.

While floral and botanical print textile were previously the mainstream, more brands are now incorporating botanical motifs into raised designs using jacquard textile , embroidery, and quilting. The trends for Spring/Summer 2026 include sheer fabrics such as sheer and organza , while the Autumn/Winter 2026-27 trends include tactile textile such as velour and cut jacquard. Considering these points when combining items will help you stay on trend.


We hope this blog will be helpful as a reference for product planning, especially for apparel companies. There are many other products listed on ApparelX, so please take a look!
