Trending Items to bring into the new year
Studded Rhinestone items
Within 2025, we have seen a surge of glittering and bejewelled items hit a whole new high of popularity. One not seen for the last 15-20 years. With this style it brings an element of self-expression and alongside it comes a form of personalization due to the variety in styles available. From rhinestone infused jumper designs to small rhinestone embedded jeans, both styles bring an element of luxury due to their eye-catching ability. Jewelled clothing is a must in the new year especially for your New Years Eve outfits.
Hoodies worn under a blazer
For both men and women this look has proven to be both a casual and polished outfit choice. With the juxtaposition within the style contrasting the look of both a relaxed fit with a formal setting blazer, people have managed to elevate their everyday looks. Giving a fashion style that modern edge many needed. It is crucial to choose the right hoodie in this style as you do not want to pair an oversized hoodie with a slim fit tailored blazer.
Co-Ord Sets
A style brought into 2025 is being carried through to 2026. The Co-Ord appeal has only grown within the last year, and it continuously adapts to the changing styles within the fashion world. Creating new variations for people to enjoy. Co-ords offer an effortless element of style alongside bringing both warmth and comfort. 2026 will bring a focus on fabric used within this style. Bringing more breathable fabrics and better sizing options.
Poetcore styling
You may be thinking, what is Poetcore styling as it is not a term used very often. This style is bringing back the vintage charm into modern day styling. From incorporating oversize knitwear into your everyday stylings, to the additional elements of lace and wool. This fashion aesthetic blends charm with a soft finish focusing on pastel colours to create rich moodier tone ranges. With the prediction that 2026 will be heavily focused on poetry art and historical romances, this style is definitely one to look out for.
How to approach new styles in the new year
It may still be a challenge incorporating new looks into your wardrobe but don’t fret. Fashion has its own way of letting you know what will work and what won’t from the moment you try items on. This is down to your own personalization of a look and realising that fashion is about discovery. There is no one way to wear something. It all depends on what you do with an item that determines whether it suits your personal style.
Try them on and think outside of your comfort zone. 2026 is about shaking off the year past and becoming a whole new you, through lifestyle and fashion. Accessorize your wardrobe with these must have items and you will find you learn more about yourself. From your silhouette to the colour palette you prefer. Utilise the influence there is out there on social media and realise that fashion doesn’t have to be repetitive and dull, it can be a whole new way of expressing yourself. An influential fashion piece is just a click away.
