my take on fashion TRENDS that stay (and Go) from 2025 to 2026

Hey — it’s Inés here, and I want to share what I really think about the trends that stick around into 2026 (and the ones I’m honestly over). I’ve been watching the runways, scrolling the fashion feeds, and taking notes — so here’s my honest fashion forecast.

👗 Trends That Are Totally Staying in 2026

🧥 Layering — Still My Go-To

Honestly? I cannot get enough of layering. It’s not just stylish — it’s practical. I’ve been mixing pieces over season after season, and I’m so glad this isn’t going anywhere. From summer into winter, putting pieces together has become my signature move.

✨ Textures With Personality

Textured pieces — like faux fur, fringe, and all kinds of tactile fabrics — are such a mood right now. I’m into textures that move and make a statement. In 2026, I’m definitely wearing pieces that feel dramatic and fun rather than flat and boring.

👟 Athleisure in My Everyday Looks

I’ve always loved comfort, and athleisure isn’t going out of style. The key now is how you mix it — dress sneakers with structured jackets or sporty pants with button-downs. It’s comfort but make it fashion, and I’m here for it in 2026.

🧿 Trends I’m Saying Bye to in 2026

💫 Charms That Felt a Bit Too Cute

Remember how charms exploded everywhere last year? I loved them … at first. But this year feels like accessories with meaning are way more interesting than tiny cute baubles just for the ’gram.

⚪ Ultra Minimalism — It’s Time for Fun

Straight-up minimalism (I’m talking neutral tones, zero texture, super clean shapes) has had its moment. But I really think 2026 is about color, mixing patterns, and a vibe that feels more expressive instead of quiet.

🌀 The Y2K Wave (In the Literal Sense)

Y2K was fun, nostalgic, and everywhere — but honestly? I feel like we exhausted that era. I still like a bit of the playful energy, but I want inspiration that feels more modern and fresh, not just straight-up throwback.

🎯 My Fashion Verdict for 2026

Overall, I feel like fashion this year is about self-expression over simplicity. I want bold textures, layered outfits, and comfortable pieces that don’t look lazy. 2026 isn’t about hiding — it’s about showing up with personality.
