INDX National Menswear Show | February 2026 report

INDX National Menswear Show (February 2026)

The INDX National Menswear Show, which took place from 1–3 February 2026 at Cranmore Park in Solihull, has been hailed as a resounding success.

The show’s unique 'by buyers, for buyers' format continues to drive its growth and, building on its reputation as the UK’s premier order-writing event for the menswear industry, the February edition saw a significant turnout of independent retailers and a sold-out floor of over 160 brands.

First time attendee, Jon Sladden, Matthew's Menswear said:

First time attending and genuinely overwhelmed by the range of suppliers, all the representatives were very welcoming and extremely helpful. I really enjoyed the trade show and was very pleased I could attend as I joined Matthew’s Menswear this week.

Trends and insights

A central pillar of the show was the expert trend presentations delivered by BDA London. These sessions provided retailers with actionable intel on the AW26 season, focusing on:

• The evolving palette: Helping attendees solidify their colour stories for the upcoming year.

• Commerciality: Translating key trends into a commercial, sales-driving strategy, and highlighting key product picks from the show's exhibiting brands.

Networking Social

The INDX experience extended beyond the showroom floors with the Networking Social held at The Loft (Cranmore Park’s onsite bar) on the Sunday evening. Hosted by event organisers AIS - to celebrate its 50 year anniversary, the evening allowed buyers and exhibitors to connect in an informal setting, with live music and drinks.
