1. Powerful Color Mixups
A bold mix of contrasting, complementary—even slightly unexpected—colors is on trend this season. You can create your own combinations with separates, but why not try something ready-made? This pink and red colorblock dress from Ann Taylor makes it effortless.
2. Silky Scarves
Silky scarf prints showed up everywhere on the spring runways—on tops, skirts, and dresses. This floral print shirt and pants set from Ann Taylor is especially versatile. Wear it together or mix it up with pieces you already own (think white pants with the shirt, or a simple tee with the pants).
3. Cobalt & Electrifying Blues
Feeling blue? This electrifying shade of cobalt is huge for Spring 2026. Add a pop of color to your wardrobe with a double-breasted linen blazer—it’s an easy way to instantly update your spring and summer looks.
4. 20s Flapper Revival
Midi lengths, dropped waists, and softly gathered dresses made their mark on the runways. The best part? This silhouette is incredibly wearable at any age. This Cinq à Sept dress with a subtle 20s vibe is perfect for weddings, parties, and special occasions.
5. Fluffy Feather Textures
Spring 2026 introduces all-over feather textures that add light movement to garments, If you’re not ready to fully embrace the trend, try a feather-trim top. (Now up to $500 off with code SPRING at Neiman Marcus.) This cropped version is a fun, wearable option—pair it with high-waisted jeans, pants or a skirt.
6. Asymmetrical Black & White
Black and white is always a spring staple, but this season it’s all about asymmetry and draped details. This Karen Kane top is a great example—and it’s flattering, easy to wear, and available in plus sizes too.
7. Slick Leather Looks
Modern leather is everywhere for Spring 2026, in everything from neutrals to bold colors. A boxy leather jacket is an easy layering piece you can throw over just about anything. This one adds instant polish—and it’s on sale.
8. Flowy Parachute Silhouettes
Parachute and balloon silhouettes are back! But before you whip out your Zubaz, try a more modern approach. This topper from Banana Republic is a chic, elevated way to wear the trend this season—it looks just as good zipped up as it does layered like a jacket.
9. Whimsical Shoes
Footwear this season is all about playful, unexpected details, like little hearts on the toes of these kitten heel slingback pumps from Kate Spade. They’re fun, wearable and versatile enough to pair with everything from dresses to denim.
