Fashion trends come and go, but trying new looks to help you discover your personal style lasts forever, and we’re right there with you. We’re all about focusing our outfits and aesthetics on experimentation, with comfort as a priority. So, if your New Year’s resolution is to work on your personal style, you’re in the right place.

Ahead, check out 10 fashion trends to play around with in 2026 as you discover and develop your personal style.

 

1. Polka dots

“Polka dots are one of the most timeless prints in fashion,” but they saw an enormous revival in 2025, and this trend will also carry over into the upcoming year of 2026. Though polka dots are at their most popular in the summer, they are also going to be in your winter closet through slip dresses, knits, and even coats and jackets, as spotted in the fall collection of Altuzarra and the spring-summer collection of Jacquemus.

2. Checked Skirts

Checked skirts, a great way of adding texture to an outfit, have been a trend for a while now, but they are certainly going nowhere in 2026. They have managed to become an interesting highlight of an outfit, which can either go subtle or bold as one wants. They can even be sustained throughout the seasons with varying methods of styling.

3. Layered Clothes

Layering deserves a special mention as it’s one of the big trends that’s going to be hot in 2026, and it’s just in time for the cold winter season. It could be layering a series of T-shirts like it’s the ‘00s, layering a skirt underneath a dress, or adding more features to create an aesthetically interesting outfit (tying an extra shirt or jacket around your waist, which is another trend that’s on the up), the idea is more, more.

4.Brooches

The next huge trend, as listed in Pinterest Predicts, is brooches. The trend has already been tracked on Paris Fashion Week and was presented by none other than the fashion brand Lacoste. The trend clearly has some relation to the grandmacore trend we’ve seen growing over the past few years but has a more refined look.

5. Preppy-Go-Lucky

Looking for an alternway to wear your checkered skirt? Prep fashion styling has been gaining momentum in 2025, and it doesn’t look like it’ll stop anytime soon in 2026. According to _Depop_, “Celebrity endorsement-led preppy fashion has brought a polished finish, combining elements of classic cut and styling, clean layering, and college-inspired elements for a timeless yet young effect.

6. Wedge Sneakers

Wedge Sneakers sports shoes make the fashion list among the Gen Alpha and Gen Z crowd; the likes of Blue Ivy West, North West, Romy Mars, and Tyla rock the trend. As such, the rise in trend is bound to happen in 2026. Types abound in the market; however, the choice among the 2010s-approved trend is the Isabel Marant ones.

7. Chocolate Brown

All the way from the New York Times to Vogue, everyone’s called chocolate brown the hottest trend of this winter, and this is the annual reminder that winter does go on until March.

If you’re going all monochromatic or just accenting with a combination of cream or navy, chocolate brown is the only fashionable option for this winter.

8. Knit Scarves

A version appears to be the Sophie scarf and hood, which is the newest online knit-it-yourself phenomenon as everyone from bloggers to LE SSERAFIM’s Sakura remakes them themselves. They may be perfect gorgeous fashion items, as well as being the perfect theme for a new knit-it-yourself experience should you want something new on the side.

9. Low-rise pants

Low-rise jeans have returned, but not in the original form from the 2000s. Denim remains the ultimate wardrobe staple. 2026 promises to be an interesting year when experimenting with low-rise cuts, which have also widened. As usual, the wider-leg pants trend is on! Though they’re usually paired with cropped tops, you can also go for the longer top option and let it drape just above the waistline.

10. Tracksuit pants

Sportswear alone is in; however, the mix of sporty and smart items is quickly becoming a big trend for the upcoming colder months—and here’s a definitive must-have piece if you want to make a statement in the sportswear trend: Adidas tracksuit pants—and they feature the legendary three stripes design. These are the best options if you’re looking for leggings that ooze comfort as well as a stylish and trendy look.
