For 2026, Pantone introduces PANTONE 11-4201 Cloud Dancer — a lofty, billowy off-white designed to bring a sense of serenity and quiet reflection to a chaotic world. More than just a colour, it represents a soft reset. A move away from noise and overstimulation, towards clarity, simplicity and intention.

Described as a vanilla-whipped, ethereal white, Cloud Dancer acts as a foundation — a blank canvas that allows texture, silhouette and craftsmanship to take centre stage. It’s the first true white Pantone has selected in recent years, signalling a cultural shift: less excess, more meaning.

And for us at Triads, this couldn’t feel more aligned.

The Triads Approach to 2026

This year, our buying reflects that tonal calm. You’ll see a lot of soft neutrals coming through — shades that echo Cloud Dancer and connect back to the roots of the brands we work with. We’ve consciously pulled things back to focus on elevated basics and refined silhouettes.

Expect:

• Boxy tees in Cloud Dancer tones with subtle, considered prints

• Straight-leg tailored trousers styled effortlessly

• Clean straight-leg joggers and tonal cargos

• Higher-quality denim from Edwin, bringing that luxury, long-lasting feel

• Minimalist trainers and loafers from Duke + Dexter, clean silhouettes with just a subtle edge

• Birkenstock staples that ground the look with effortless cool

The overall mood? Clean. Cool. Intentional. Styling that looks like you haven’t tried too hard — but every piece has been carefully chosen.

Quality Over Noise

For 2026, quality is a major focus for us. We’ve worked hard to elevate fabrics, fit and finish while keeping price points considered and accessible. The goal isn’t clothing that lasts a few washes — it’s pieces that stay in your wardrobe for years.

This shift back to better basics feels true to where Triads started — rooted in culture, music and everyday wearability — but now with a more refined, fashion-forward lens.

If you’re in the North East, come and see the collection in-store. Or head to the homepage and explore “Abbie’s Top Picks” — a section I update weekly with standout pieces I genuinely love and believe are must-haves.

2026 is about slowing down. Dressing with intention. Investing in pieces that feel effortless.

Cloud Dancer is the reset — and this is how we’re wearing it.
