Abercrombie & Fitch has landed its Holiday 2026 collection, A Very Abercrombie Holiday, in its UAE stores and online at abercrombie.com, with the first drop available now. The edit covers women’s and men’s wardrobes, from satin party dresses and tailored trousers to cashmere knits and wool coats, with denim styled through all of it.
We have been through the lookbook and the full line list, and what we like is the logic. The campaign is built around dressing for every kind of December plan, from a dinner to a gifting run to a night in, rather than a single party outfit you wear once. For a brand that has been dressing Americans for the holidays since 1892, it is a confident, wearable proposition.
The women’s wardrobe
The palette leans into deep burgundy and wine, red, green and chocolate, grounded by black and soft neutrals. The occasion pieces are where the collection shows its ambition: the Burnout Satin Fringe Top, the High Rise Satin Jacquard Maxi Skirt, a flocked mesh mini dress and a fine wool blend draped maxi dress. Jacquard satin and flocking give texture under evening light, which is exactly what you want in photographs.
Outerwear carries the season. A wool blend funnel neck long coat and a reversible faux shearling and vegan suede coat are styled with trench and longline shapes, cardigans and sweaters, so the coat becomes the outfit when you arrive somewhere. Tailoring comes through the Sloane trouser, offered in Ultra High Rise and Curve Love fits, and the Forme Wide Leg.
Denim is the clever part. High Rise Wide Leg, High Rise 90s Relaxed, High Rise 90s Straight, Low Rise Ultra Loose and Barrel fits are styled with festive knits and statement coats, giving an alternative to traditional occasion wear. In the UAE, where December evenings are mild enough for a knit but rarely for a heavy dress coat, that formula makes sense.
The men’s wardrobe
For men, the brief is relaxed polish. The Wool Blend Long Mac Coat leads the outerwear, while the Menswear Baggy Trouser and a cotton blend pleated baggy trouser offer a smarter option than jeans. Prep influences run through the Essential Slim Ribbed Henley, a cotton and merino quarter zip, a 100% merino wool collared sweater with three buttons and a 100% Cashmere Crew Sweater, worn fitted on top over looser trousers.
Denim remains central, led by the Baggy fit alongside Relaxed Straight and 90s Straight. Garment dyed and brown washes move away from classic indigo, while white and ecru give a winter white option that we think will work particularly well on a Dubai or Abu Dhabi rooftop. A dedicated Shirt Shop rounds it out.
The business behind the clothes
The collection is another marker of the turnaround led by Fran Horowitz, chief executive of Abercrombie & Fitch Co. since 2017, who was named The Visionary by the National Retail Federation in January 2026. Under her leadership the brand rebuilt itself around listening to customers, and denim has been one of its strongest categories. Abercrombie & Fitch is the namesake brand of Abercrombie & Fitch Co., listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and sells through more than 200 stores worldwide, including abercrombie kids.
