One of the only constants in the world of fashion is change. New trends seem to take hold at a mind-boggling pace, and while some have staying power, others fall out of style almost as quickly as they arrive. Last year, for example, shoppers embraced barrel jeans, cowboy boots, suede bags, and the often elusive viral plushies known as Labubus. Experts are noticing some interesting changes in the fashion world in 2026, and we checked in to get their takes on what to look out for this year.
Anna Lavo, a celebrity stylist who works with Bravo stars and has over 350,000 followers on Instagram, agrees that shoppers are focusing more on pieces that speak to their unique tastes than fleeting fashion moments. “After years of extremes, fashion is settling into something more intentional, powerful, and personal,” she said.
Bold Colors
Vibrant hues are hot in 2026, according to celebrity stylist and author Kim Appelt. With spring fast approaching, there’s no better time to jump in on the trend. “We can't ignore the big and bold color blocking everywhere. Bright colors are on the trend list. Paired together, these are fun and will add some pop into the spring,” Appelt said.
Matching a bolder hue with something neutral is also a great way to make a statement that isn’t overly flashy, according to both Appelt and Lavo. “Start with one color you love — a coat, bag, or shoe — and build neutrals around it. Color should enhance the outfit, not overwhelm it,” Lavo said.

Relaxed Tailoring
The trend entails more oversized blazers, wide leg trousers, and tailored pants with a bit of stretch or flow. Rather than donning a whole suit, Lavo said you can nail the relaxed tailoring vibe by pairing something polished with something a little softer. “Let one tailored piece lead the outfit,” she said. suggesting layering a “sharp blazer over a simple tank and jeans” or wearing “tailored trousers with a soft knit.”

Bandanas and Scarves
Torres noticed the trend gain momentum near the end of last year, and believes it will continue to evolve in 2026 as shoppers “look for easy ways to personalize their outfits.”
“Scarves make personal styling simpler, they add color, texture, and intention to even the most basic look,” she added.

Brooches
“People will find it easy to pin a brooch on a blazer, cardigan, scarf, bags, button ups or slip dresses to elevate a simple look,” Torres said.
If you’re not lucky enough to have an actual heirloom brooch in your jewelry box, retailers like Anthropologie, Macy's, and Amazon have stunning options that emulate the vintage look starting at $23.

Lace Pieces and Accents
One fabric you may see everywhere in 2026? According to Torres, lace is having a moment as both an accent and focal point in outfits.
If you’re looking to embrace this romantic trend in a way that’s a little more subtle, you can opt for pieces with lace trim or layer a lace top under a sweater or blazer. If you’re going for a more maximalist vibe, you may want to focus on full lace pieces or “sheer layering styled with denim or oversized outerwear,” Torres said.

Military-Style Jackets
This is another trend that can adapt particularly well to spring 2026, as many military jackets have a medium weight that’s perfect for transitional weather. “They highlight the waist naturally and can be a great alternative for a leather jacket or blazer in the spring,” Appelt said.

Luxurious, Flowy Fabrics and Fits
Lavo agreed that there’s more of an emphasis on fabric quality, fit, and wearability in the fashion world right now as shoppers hone in on a “smart luxury” aesthetic. For those who want to join in on the movement, she recommended investing in fewer pieces that are good quality and can be styled several ways, like coats, pants, and purses. “If something fits beautifully and feels good on your body, it will always look luxurious.

Balloon Pants
Balloon pants have also found a strong footing in the fashion world. The style, which you can shop right now at a wide variety of retailers and brands, features super flowy, relaxed legs that are tapered at the ankle to create a balloon-like effect. They’re great for adding “volume and movement” on the lower half of an outfit, Appelt said. Some options lean a little more casual or sporty, but others are polished enough to wear to work.

Statement Accessories
“As clothing becomes cleaner and more minimal, accessories naturally take center stage,” Lavo said. “Designers are using accessories as the personality and focal point of the look.”
Lavo recommends choosing one bold accessory to elevate an outfit, rather than overwhelming a look with multiple statement pieces.
