The tie continues to be a versatile accessory, layered over shirts, blazers, or even dresses, adding a sharp edge to both casual and polished looks.

Multiple belts

@trendbackground Why are multiple belts trending? There might be a couple of reasons for that. Multiple belts give dynamism to rather basic outfits. Layering belts bring about an interesting styling trick. It is low budget yet impactful. Do you use multiple belts? Are you likely to follow this trend?

Belt layering is making a bold comeback — cinching waists over blazers, dresses, or coats to create structure and show off style creativity. Layering belts has never looked this intentional or chic.

Pumps

Pumps are back with modern updates, square toes, kitten heels, and sculptural shapes that combine style with wearability, perfect for pairing with baggy trousers, cropped denim, or dresses.

Baggy Pants

Baggy pants remain a wardrobe essential, redefining casual-cool and power dressing alike. Pair loose bottoms with fitted tops, cropped jackets, or bold accessories to keep the look polished.

Retro sunglasses remain a major statement piece, from oversized ’70s-inspired frames to sleek ’90s micro-shapes, making eyewear an instant personality booster.

Oversized bag

Oversized bags are still going strong, combining practicality with style — big totes, slouchy leather shoulder bags, and roomy carry-alls are replacing tiny purses.

Asymmetric and dropped waist dresses or skirts

Asymmetric and dropped-waist dresses or skirts are adding movement and drama to everyday dressing. Whether subtle or exaggerated, these silhouettes elongate the frame and create a playful, dynamic look that feels both modern and timeless.

Other trends making the leap into 2026 include denim-on-denim, now with softer washes and relaxed fits, ballet flats with metallic or mesh details, and sheer layering, think organza tops and translucent skirts for texture and flow.

Colour is bold this year, too: neutral palettes are paired with pops of red, cobalt blue, metallics, and jewel tones, letting individual style shine.

In 2026, fashion is all about freedom. We’re carrying forward the best of 2025 — bold accessories, relaxed silhouettes, and playful nostalgia, and evolving them into looks that are fearless, expressive, and entirely your own.
