1. Metropolitan prep

Preppy style has been on the mood board for years at this point, but it’s starting to evolve into something new. While the look still has a bit of an academic bent, our favorite labels are moving away from the quad and into city streets. The new silhouette is free-flowing and ideal for women on the move—nothing’s too tight or stiff to weigh you down on your morning commute or afternoon errand run. Consider Chanel’s boxy suits, Celine’s gold-buttoned blazers, and Miu Miu’s V-neck sweaters over button-downs: It all moves from the office to wherever you’re going after, and effortlessly so.

2. Roaring 2020s

Beaded fringe, shift dresses, all-over embellishments—this season found one of its most popular muses in the flapper. A century ago, the country found itself in an economic boom tied to growing inequality (sound familiar?), but the high-rolling lifestyle offered up glamorous going-out fashion that is making its way back into the trend cycle. Rather than simply turning back the clock, though, brands like Tory Burch, Versace, Ferragamo, Chanel, and LaQuan Smith are updating the look for a new century with louche shapes and sprays of beads. And you can get the same look everywhere from Abercrombie to Zara right now.

3. Playful layering

Sure, you know how to layer—but spring’s runways proved that there’s always room to grow. At Loewe, models wore button-down shirts that appeared to have four stacked collars. LII reversed the usual layering process, piling tank tops and T-shirts over long-sleeve tees. At Bottega Veneta, a satin turtleneck poked out of a collared shirt. Prada’s show featured doubled button-downs and undies poking out of sheer skirts. Meryll Rogge styled trenches over sheer dresses over solid dresses over slip skirts. You probably already own everything you need to try your hand at the trend, but the just-right pieces below certainly won’t hurt.

4. Grade-school colors

After multiple seasons defined by earthy, quiet luxury-coded hues like chocolate brown and deep burgundy, it’s high time for some fresh energy. Thank Loewe, Dior, Ralph Lauren, and Versace for supplying spring’s in-your-face inspiration. Supersaturated primary and secondary shades popped up practically everywhere we looked this season, bringing to mind a kindergarten classroom’s color scheme. Go bold by styling these pieces together, or take a more practical route by mixing them into a palette of khaki, black, white, and navy.

5. ’80s officewear

The slow yet inevitable rise of return-to-office policies continues apace—and whether you’re a fan, or prefer to stay home, there’s an undeniable tailoring creep in our everyday wardrobes. Designers have been mining more and more inspiration from the ’80s as of late, and nowhere is it more apparent than in their workwear. Take your pick from ever-so-exaggerated shoulders, pussy-bow blouses, classic pumps, and pencil skirts; they’re all way more wearable than you might expect, even on the weekends. (Cosigns from the likes of Saint Laurent, Chloé, Elie Saab, Schiaparelli, and Tom Ford certainly don’t hurt, either.)

6. Not-quite belts

The silk-scarf trend kicked off last summer, but that was only the beginning. Street-style stars and high-end labels agree: We’ll be tying anything but your usual buckled belts around our bodies in 2026. Etro went with tassel ropes; Zankov, beaded strands; Louis Vuitton, classic wool scarves; Kallmeyer, knit tops and leather strips. Wrap these accessories around your waist to help define your figure in a loose-fitting dress or around your hips to add personality to an otherwise boring pair of pants.

7. High-volume silhouettes

While there will always be a place in our closets for slip dresses and svelte leggings, designers are pushing us in the exact opposite direction this spring—and we’re excited about it. At Dior, Saint Laurent, MKDT Studio, Zimmermann, Prada, Alaïa, Bottega Veneta, Calvin Klein, and Balenciaga, among many other labels, a parade of puffed-up pieces graced the runways. While sculptural sleeves, balloon pants, and voluminous dresses might seem like a big jump, consider this: You’ve already been wearing barrel jeans for a minute now. It’s so much more fun on the other side.
