One shoe. 52 million searches. 

That’s the scale of attention certain products command right now.

Across luxury fashion as a whole, demand leaves a clear trail. Every search, save, and sale builds a picture of what people actually want to wear…and what they’re prepared to invest in.

The FARFETCH Index draws on internal sales data alongside global search volume from the last 12 months to identify the products already shaping wardrobes in 2026. By analyzing sustained interest and momentum, the Index highlights which pieces have moved from hype to household names.

The data points to a clear preference for recognizable, wearable products with cultural weight — items that hold their place beyond a single season.

Some products spike briefly. Others settle into our daily outfit rotations.

The pieces at the top of this year’s Index fall into the latter category. They generate sustained search volume because they integrate easily into real wardrobes, across work, travel, and everyday dressing.

Here are the products commanding the strongest global demand in 2025 by category and setting the tone for 2026.

52,360,000 global searches 

With more than 52 million searches globally in 2025, the adidas Samba remains the most in-demand shoe in luxury-adjacent fashion. 

Originally designed as a football training sneaker, its slim silhouette and retro appeal have made it a staple far beyond sport.

Its continued dominance reflects a broader shift towards streamlined, low-profile trainers that balance nostalgia with everyday wearability. Highly recognizable and easy to style, the Samba bridges streetwear and tailored looks – a combination that has kept it visible across runways, social media and city streets.

With more than one million searches globally in 2025, the Moncler Maya has earned its place as the most in-demand clothing item in luxury fashion right now.

Introduced in the early 2000s, the Maya's lacquered nylon finish, bold quilting and cropped silhouette have become among the most identifiable signatures in outerwear. It sits at the intersection of function and identity: highly insulated with genuine down filling, yet the distinctive glossy finish means it’s instantly identifiable from a distance.

Its continued search dominance reflects the outsized role statement outerwear plays in modern wardrobes. During colder months, a puffer jacket often defines the entire look, and few pieces command that role with quite the authority of the Maya.

Prada's Symbole sunglasses lead the accessories category. Their chunky rectangular acetate construction, sharply beveled edges, and visible Prada logo on both arms give them a strong, immediate presence that has resonated widely among luxury shoppers seeking celebrity-chic.

Bold enough to anchor a simple outfit yet structured enough to complement stronger looks, the Symbole has earned its position at the top of the category through a design that makes a clear statement without being too loud or overbearing.

2,034,000 global searches

With over two million searches globally, the Longchamp Le Pliage tote leads the bags category by a significant margin – a result that reflects decades of consistent appeal rather than a single moment of viral attention.

Lightweight, foldable and quietly versatile, it moves between travel, work, and everyday errands without effort. The leather handles and clean silhouette keep it firmly within the luxury conversation, while its practicality and range of colorways ensure it stays in active rotation, season after season.

Get the look: how to style these pieces now

The most in-demand items tend to work because they slot easily into existing wardrobes. The key is keeping the rest of the outfit considered and uncomplicated.

A pair of streamlined trainers goes naturally with straight-leg designer jeans or tailored trousers.

The Moncler Maya layers effortlessly over fine knitwear or a fitted roll-neck, and works just as well thrown over tailoring for a polished, city-ready look.

Statement sunglasses add definition to simple outfits, while a structured tote carries through from office to weekend without adjustment.

Footwear often provides the clearest signal of how fashion is shifting. Unlike seasonal ready-to-wear, shoes anchor daily dressing, balancing comfort, recognizability and longevity.

The styles generating the highest global search demand this year reflect a continued move towards streamlined silhouettes, retro influence and performance-led design.

52,360,000 global searches

With more than 52 million searches globally, the adidas Samba is the most in-demand shoe. It is slim, low-profile and easy to integrate into both relaxed and tailored wardrobes.

Originally designed for indoor football training, it now moves easily between subcultures and dress codes – from tailored looks to weekend denim, and (just about) everything in-between.

In Decoding Luxury Fashion, we unpicked how heritage, cultural visibility, and practicality shape modern dressing. The Samba shines by sitting squarely at that intersection.

47,770,000 global searches

With nearly 48 million searches, the New Balance 9060 reflects continued demand for exaggerated, eye-catching silhouettes.

Where the Samba refines, the 9060 amplifies. Its sculpted midsole, layered paneling and exaggerated proportions reference early-2000s performance footwear, reworked for fashion-led styling. It doesn’t blend in. It anchors an outfit confidently and unapologetically.

Wearers are pairing bulkier silhouettes with tailored trousers and structured coats, using contrast rather than coordination to create balance. The 9060 thrives in that tension between technical design and considered styling.

5,105,000 global searches

With over five million searches globally, the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 signals a clear appetite for slim, retro-inflected trainers rooted in sporting heritage.

Originally designed for the 1968 Mexico City Olympics, the silhouette has barely changed…and that's precisely its appeal. Low-profile, clean-lined and immediately recognizable by its crossed tiger stripe detailing, the Mexico 66 sits comfortably in the same territory as the Samba: a shoe that feels nostalgic without being costume-like.

Styled with straight-leg denim, tailored trousers or midi skirts, it adds a subtle retro note that feels considered rather than conspicuous – a versatile foundation for a wide range of wardrobes.

1,520,000 global searches

The Maison Margiela Replica trainer continues to attract serious search volume, cementing its position as one of the most culturally significant shoes in contemporary luxury fashion.

Where many trainers lean into performance heritage or streetwear references, the Replica takes a different approach. It replicates the aesthetic of a generic sports shoe, deliberately anonymous in construction yet elevated through fabric, finish, and that trademark Margiela tabby tab at the heel.

That tension between the ordinary and the considered is central to its appeal. It works effortlessly with relaxed tailoring, denim, and minimal separates, functioning as a quiet signal of taste rather than an overt statement of brand allegiance.

640,000 global searches

Rounding out the top five, the Golden Goose Ball Star reinforces the ongoing appetite for luxury trainers that wear their history visibly. In this case, quite literally, through the brand's signature distressed finish and hand-applied detailing.

Each pair is deliberately imperfect, a design choice that runs counter to the polished uniformity of most luxury goods. That individuality has proven to be the Ball Star's strongest asset, attracting shoppers who want a trainer that feels personal rather than pristine.

One shoe, three outfits…

High-demand footwear becomes a staple when it moves easily between wardrobes. The adidas Samba’s continued dominance lies in its versatility – a slim silhouette that sharpens tailoring, balances denim, and offsets softer shapes.

With tailoring: Pair neutral styles like the Samba XLG sneakers with wide-leg trousers and a structured blazer to offset the trainer’s sport origins.

With denim: Style contrasting colors like the Samba Core Black/Wonder White sneakers with straight-leg jeans and a fine knit for everyday balance.

With a skirt or dress: Pair the all-white Samba Decon lace-up sneakers with fluid silhouettes to create a sense of proportion.

Search behavior shows consistent demand for clothing that anchors a wardrobe rather than dominates it. Outerwear, denim, and branded essentials continue to attract attention because they offer recognizable design and repeat wearability.

From statement outerwear to logo-led staples, these are the five most searched-for luxury clothing pieces globally.

With more than one million searches globally, the Moncler Maya remains one of the most recognizable outerwear pieces in luxury fashion.

Introduced in the early 2000s, this Moncler jacket’s lacquered nylon finish, bold quilting and short silhouette have become signatures of the brand. The design balances function and visual identity: highly insulated, yet instantly identifiable.

Its continued search demand reflects the role of statement outerwear in modern wardrobes. A strong jacket often defines the entire look during colder months, making pieces like the Maya both practical and central to the style.
