Aubrey's Aesthetics' 2026 Fashion Trend Predictions
As we step into the year 2026, the fashion world is abuzz with exciting new trends that are set to captivate the style-conscious. At Aubrey's Aesthetics, we've been closely monitoring the pulse of the industry and are thrilled to share our predictions for the upcoming year.
Patterns Galore
One of the standout trends we foresee for 2026 is the resurgence of classic patterns. Complimenting patterns with solids will continue to thrive, while we are getting comfortable again with the mixing of patterns. Pattern mixing throws us back to the 2000's era of fashion, pairing patterns that don't necessarily "match."
Plaid and Gingham
Once considered staples of the past, plaid and gingham are making a bold comeback. Artists like Pink Pantheress and others have already embraced this trend and matched it seamlessly into their aesthetics.
Polka Dots
The polka dot trend made its return in 2025, and it will continue to soar into 2026. Coming in all different shapes and color combinations, polka dots fit into the preppy aesthetic with the most popular dots, black and white.
Leopard Print
And let's not forget the ever-popular leopard print, which continues to captivate fashion enthusiasts within the Y2k and baddie aesthetics.
Deer Print
Interestingly, we're also seeing a growing fascination with deer-inspired prints. Also known as Bambi print, these nature-inspired patterns offer a unique and unexpected twist. Some even say that deer print may become the new leopard print. What do you think?
Mesh Mania
Another trend that's gaining momentum is the incorporation of mesh into our fashion choices. This breathable and modern material is set to become a staple in our 2026 wardrobes. The versatility of mesh allows us to experiment with layering and create visually striking looks that seamlessly blend function and style.
Mesh Socks with Heels
This one is so much fun, as socks and sandals are usually a no go to the public eye. Pairing mesh or lace socks with your heels is an aesthetic way to add flair to your footwear.
Mesh Gloves
Mesh gloves are quickly becoming a fun fashion trend this year as well. Match your mesh gloves to your mesh socks for an aesthetic, matching look!
Trendy Footwear
Heels aren't new to the fashion industry, and neither are these upcoming heel trends. However, you may find yourself styling footwear you may have never thought you'd own.
Kitten Heels
The kitten heel is familiar to some, new to others. If you haven't gotten your hands on a classic black pair of kitten heels before 2026, now is your time to shine.
Statement Shoes
Fun shoes of different shapes and colors are going to be a huge part of 2026. This is the year where you should experiment with something you may have never tried before, as statement shoes can become the most exciting part of your look. Think faux fur boots, over the knee sandals or boots, or even a camel toe shoe! There are plenty of different styles to play around with.
Bright and Bold
The year 2026 is also set to be a celebration of vibrant colors. Inspired by the bold and unapologetic style of artists like Zara Larsson, we're embracing colors that exude energy, childhood and joy.
Colorful Tights
Tights in colors like pink, blue and orange are going to be a fun, trendy way to accessorize in 2026. Bold patterned tights will also make their mark on the fashion world.
This year, our wardrobes are about to become a canvas for self-expression.
Ties Take a New Turn
Interestingly, the traditional men's tie is also undergoing a transformation. As the boundaries between gender-specific fashion continue to blur, we're seeing ties become more gender-neutral.
Women are now incorporating ties into their outfits, wearing them classically around the neck, and even styling them as arm sleeves and belts. Ties are a versatile way to incorporate the Y2k Aesthetic into your looks.
Conclusion
As we look ahead to the fashion landscape of 2026, it's clear that the industry is embracing a diverse array of trends that cater to a wide range of personal styles. At Aubrey's Aesthetics, we're excited to witness the evolution of these trends and to help our customers curate their own unique looks that reflect their individual aesthetics.
Whether you're drawn to the timeless charm of plaid and gingham or the bold and vibrant hues that are set to dominate the scene, we're confident that the fashion landscape of 2026 will offer something for everyone. So, get ready to embrace the new and the unexpected at Aubrey's Aesthetics, and let your style shine through in the year ahead.
