2026’s Hottest Street Style Trends

Green is an ever popular staple, a safe midway between color and neutral often serving as navy’s slightly more exciting cousin.

Moving beyond the jewel-toned emeralds that defined the 2010’s, this season saw a boom in warmer, yellower greens. Think moss, sage, olive, chartreuse, hunter. If your library of greens reads like the attendance sheet of a yuppy Brooklyn day school, you’re headed in the right direction.

Business casual gets a trendy boost this season, with ties being used in refreshing patterns, textiles, and styling as a way to infuse some fun into a stereotypically stuffy accessory. 

Might be time to raid your dad’s closet and serve some true corpcore.

As bows become more complex, bag charms get bigger, and western-wear veers into county fair territory, prize ribbons sit neatly in the middle of that triple Venn diagram. 

Everyone at fashion week loves to feel special, and now you can do that and be trendy (and let everyone know when it’s your birthday).

Seeing spots? No, it’s not the side effects of standing up too quickly on an iced-coffee-only breakfast: polka dots are back with a vengeance. But fear not to those scarred by the brown and teal dots of our teenage years – these polka dots have grown up with us. In more muted palettes like navy, tan, or classic black and white, these dots give a look some pop without leaving you dizzy.

Cowboys, fairies, cottages, and other soft-girl Tumblr aesthetics have had their time to shine, but now it’s time to roleplay a sickly, subservient Victorian school boy. Find yourself a jaunty little hat, stock up on citrus fruits, and ask your father if he could spare some more gruel, as you’ll need it for your high seas adventures (the Staten Island Ferry).

In a play-it-safe season heavily defined by earthier tones and neutral palettes, these vibrant orange moments have served as a welcome pop of color.

Orange hasn’t gotten a lot of love lately (perhaps for fair reasons), but we’re here for its renaissance.

In what feels like a natural evolution of the western-wear trend, suede was a frequent flyer this season.

Softer and gentler than leather but more refined than denim and a little edgier than silk or linen, suede is a versatile player that provides texture and variety. With monochrome styling also rising in popularity, suede changes up texture without overpowering the main effect of the look.

Red has been showing up as an accent color in previous seasons, but this one saw it take center stage. Deep, romantic reds have presented a fresh take on monochromatic styling, showing that one color doesn’t have to mean one-note.

The girls are seemingly tired of cramming their everyday necessities into bite-sized bags. Going from one extreme to another, this season’s bags commanded both attention and space.

Now you can bring your water bottle, umbrella, spare change of shoes, and laptop wherever you go, and even have room for a snack (or several).

Hands can say a lot about a person, and this season the guests’ hands were saying a whole lot. Playing with amount, size, shape, and style, layers of rings were used to create entire landscapes across both hands. From sleek and silvery to chunky and colorful, ringscapes are a trend easily translated across aesthetics.

Say la-bye-bye to acrylic keychains and beaded bag charms, this season is all about the soft and cuddly, like Jellycat and Labubu. Turns out keychains need a little more layers in the fall, too.

Welcome back 2000s — but this time, instead of shapeless sack bags, paillettes are being featured in full length dresses, skirts, and wraps.

Lions may be kings of the savannah (and cheetahs the king of the fast fashion e-tail store), but this season zebra print reigned supreme.

Bold zebra print takes a neutral palette and makes it pretty hard to miss.

No one can ever truly dethrone black as the true queen of neutrals, but this season a host of deep, smooth browns have wagered a healthy claim to the crown.

Keeping up with a growing trend of natural, earthly color palettes, the use of browns is a fitting one.

An ever reliable texture, fur is no stranger to fashion week. But usually, it’s seen in the fall collections. This season saw its application, yes, in coats, but also beyond that. Hats, bodysuits, and bags all got a fuzzy upgrade.

This season had a lot of confidence in ties, ribbons and strings. Open backs are provocative enough, but add in a top that is only held up by a singular, criss-crossing piece of string and it goes from bold to truly daring. Not for the faint of heart (or large of chest), but definitely cool.
