2026 Fashion Trends

Capris are here to stay, stepping into 2026 as a go-to wardrobe staple. From core shades to playful polka dots and new fabrications, capris feel elevated, chic, and perfect for every day.

For 2026, we’re seeing capris take on a more relaxed shape, think culotte-inspired silhouettes (wide-leg just below the knee), plus cargo and denim versions that feel non-intimidating and super wearable. Style them with a kitten heel or ballet flat for an effortless OOTD.

Corsets are making a major return in 2026, tapping into the love for cinched silhouettes. Expect more structured designs alongside softer features, like lace layering, underbust details, and longline shapes.

As everyone already knows, corsets are ultra flattering, and they’re surprisingly versatile too. Style them for parties, festivals, or elevated everyday looks. If you’re feeling bold, combine the two trends we’ve mentioned so far, and match your corset with capris!

Bootcut jeans, a super popular denim silhouette of the 2000s, are stepping back into the spotlight for 2026. Look for antique washes and subtle stud or eyelet details that nod to Y2K nostalgia.

For a more elevated take, opt for black or dark-wash bootcuts styled with a fitted tee and chic sunnies. The cut is universally flattering, especially when paired with pointed boots underneath.

A summer staple, sheer ponchos are the ultimate beach-to-anywhere layer. Lightweight and airy, they show just enough of your swimwear underneath while adding movement and texture to your look.

Beyond the beach, sheer ponchos work just as well over midi skirts, stripe shorts, low-rise pants, or even a sequin mini for night. Style with micro shorts, a statement belt, and biker boots for an easy festival look too!

Polka dots aren’t going anywhere in 2026. A classic print with endless style options, they feel playful, feminine and fun. Micro dots are your more minimal print, while oversized dots feel bold and confident, especially in trending color combinations like blue and brown.

According to WGSN, polka dots saw a major spike heading into 2026, showing up across cities literally worldwide.

Style polka dots with everyday staples like denim, capris, and midi skirts. The overall vibe feels fun and romantic, making them a perfect fit for date nights, brunches and Friday night plans!

With new designs and unexpected color pairings, stripes will no doubt continue to be a standout print for spring and summer. In 2026, it’s all about bold, expressive stripes (don’t worry, we know your neutral striped top will always be a classic).

You’ll see them across midi skirts, dresses, micro shorts, plunge tops, and swimwear.

Color is back in a big way. Summer 2026 brings a new opportunity to wear shades like lavender, guava, fuchsia, and icy blue. Teal, turquoise, and minty greens are also having a moment, and butter yellow will always be a fave for everyday wear.

Lace is a big yes for transeasonal months, showing up mostly through trims and subtle accents rather than full lace looks. Think silky camis and shorts finished with delicate lace edging or peekaboo details.

Style a lace trim cami with wide leg jeans, or let lace trim shorts peek out beneath an oversized sweater or white tee.

Draping is everywhere for 2026, especially in occasion and dressy styles. Slinky fabrics drape effortlessly on the body, creating soft, flattering shapes that feel easy to wear.

Look for deep plunge necklines, draped maxi skirts that sit low on the hips, and fluid silhouettes perfect for parties, resort wear, and festival nights.

This trend is all about contrast. Think relaxed, draped necklines, boat neck or off-shoulder, that cinch in at the waist to create shape.

This silhouette is the definition of cool girl, especially styled with low-rise bottoms, slouchy belts, and thong heels. You’ll also spot this shape in wrap cardigans and soft sweaters for easy everyday outfits.

Scarf belts are taking off in 2026, with a focus on layering and overlap. The look is simple: take a scarf and tie it around your hips in a triangle shape over jeans, skirts, or shorts.

It’s an easy way to add interest to your everyday outfits, and a festival fave when paired with sequins, lace, or fringe.
