Poet-Core

Poet-core is the freshest look of the year that mixes a creative flair, a sprinkle of nostalgia, and a touch of that preppy academic look.

Those “that girls” are embracing their inner literary vibes with oversized turtlenecks, vintage blazers, and satchel bags.

Plus, there’s a dose of literary-inspired capes, lace, silk neckties, and scarves that are totally in right now.

Just like the other cores, poet-core is all about that persona-driven vibe, letting trendsetters play around with different identities and craft their own stories.

Basically, rocking a ruffled shirt with some corduroy pants can show off a softer, more artistic vibe, even if poetry isn’t your thing.

Glamoratti

In 2026, the ’80s vibes still remains vibrant and relevant.

This trend is all about that decade-inspired, more-is-more mentality, featuring baggy, sculpted-shoulder suits, dramatic funnel necks, and chunky accessories like oversized gold cuffs and belts.

The Glamoratti vibe is also going to resonate with anyone looking for a fresh take on power dressing!

Plus, maximalists who are all about fashion drama.

Glamoratti is also going to take last year’s ‘corp-core’ vibe to the next level, to show that rocking bright outfits is all about showcasing confidence and ambition, rather than just blending in.

Sportif

It’s not just about leggings and sneakers anymore. Nope!

Athleisure has evolved. It’s got that sleek, athletic vibe, but in a highly abstract way.

Sporty dressing is all about blending athletic vibes with your daily style in 2026.

Ever since Adidas track pants took off, wearing athletic wear beyond the gym has become a trend.

Check out vintage track coats, flying jackets, and anoraks made from cool technical materials. They’re totally on point!

This fresh take on athleisure is a fun blend of sporty gear and modern style that is effortlessly cool and perfect for everyday wear.

 

Quarter-Zip and Polo Knits

Quarter-zips and polo knits are simply set to be the must-have trend of 2026.

No matter if it’s zipped or buttoned, this piece is a total must-have that’s positively made its mark in the high-fashion scene.

Chanel, Dior, and Ralph Lauren are all vibing with these pieces on the runway, showing that they’re a must-have for your 2026 wardrobe.

 

 

Poplin Shirting

You know those crisp button-down tops worn under suit jackets? Yeah, those are what’s called poplin shirts. 

In 2026, it’s all about fresh poplin shirts that flaunt a wide array of colors and styles, making them the star of many standout outfits.

Poplin shirting is shaping up to be a must-have fashion trend for 2026, if not the ultimate essential trend.

This trend is all about embracing daily essentials that are fresh, versatile, and stylishly elevated.

This trend is about mixing classic, tailored vibes with oversized shirts in modern shapes that are very much in right now.

 

Preppy Core

Yes, you are right if you already know that the preppy style made a comeback in 2025…

But the prep game is about to level up more than last year, even though it was one of the year’s biggest fashion trends!

It looks like we’re about to see a major comeback with polo shirts making waves and cute preppy sweaters with colored shirts underneath, especially after seeing many, many models strutting their stuff on the runways this year in both lines, such as Prada and Celine.

To easily achieve this look, think about what a private school girl would wear at school, at a cafe, or in a library. It’s a twist on school prep and fashion combined. 

 

True Romance with lace and silk

The fashion shows from fall 2025 showed us all that romantic vibes are definitely sticking around for spring and summer.

Chanel’s 2026 couture show has confirmed our initial thoughts.

Lace and silk will definitely keep their appeal strong through the warmer months, thanks to their soft, stylish feel.

Fashion just can’t get enough of this trend, and we are here for it!

 

Athletic 1980’s Aesthetic

The tenniscore aesthetic has reached its peak, and it seems like the 80’s athletic vibe will be the fresh twist for 2026. 

This year, instead of the usual all-white vibe at Wimbledon, we’re seeing a major shift toward bold, vibrant colors that totally scream 1980s nostalgia.

If you can get your hands on some vintage athletic clothing, all the better, as that is what this trend is all about! 

 

 

On The Fringes

If you’re all about that texture life, you’re gonna be stoked to hear that 2026 is bringing a whole lot of fringe vibes your way.

When you vibe and flow, let’s just say you’ll be the main event, and it’ll make you stand out and seem super interesting!

Let’s hope the fringe trend stays a bit longer in the coming years, too! 

 

Laid-back metallic looks

Remember those days when someone was caught wearing metallics, and you thought they were dressing up for a party, New Year’s, or a concert? Yes, those were the old days, and now this year’s trend is all about making them a total VIBE. 

However, the trend is to tone them down slightly by pairing them with classic neutrals and varied textures and to soften them with laid-back runners; this trend is gaining traction for its uniqueness. 

If you choose to embrace this trend, start small and build your confidence from there. You definitely don’t want to spend a whole bunch on a pair of metallic pants, just to wear them once! 

 

And the color taking over 2026 is… BUTTER YELLOW

Lastly, this color is everywhere online right now, and for good reason, because it’s muted yet distinct and casual, making it a must-have color trend for your favorite spring and summer looks this year. 

Just don’t go too wild, and make sure you break up this color slightly to really make it stand out.
