The Most-Talked-About Fall Trends of 2026
In the fashion world, this is easily the most exciting time of year! Even though we’re still enjoying the warm days of summer, the new season’s deliveries are starting to roll in, and the “it” pieces for Fall 2026 are finally coming into focus. This is what keeps this business so energizing — it’s honestly my favorite part of the job. Every morning, I sit down with my coffee and peruse all our favorite websites: SheerLuxe, Who What Wear, and the new arrivals at Net-A-Porter and Moda Operandi. It gives me a great overview of what’s actually worth the hype — and more importantly, what we can incorporate into our own wardrobes to keep them feeling fresh, stylish and current.
Today’s post is all about the fashion trends that are taking over this fall season. They’re incredibly wearable and easy to pair with pieces you already own. I’m a big believer in adding just one or two on-trend items — it’s the best way to elevate your entire closet! This season, I’m focused on shades of brown and ballerina pink, all things animal print, and of course, the hottest accessory of the year—though you’ll have to reading to find out what that is 😉 Below you’ll find some style inspo and top picks that are actually worth the investment. I hope you love it!

The 6 Denim Trends You’ll See Everywhere in 2026
#1 Brown Denim is Super Chic

Brown jeans are starting to show up everywhere — talk about a denim trend that actually feels timeless and effortless to wear! I’ve been admiring Em’s brown jeans for a while now, so I was thrilled to find these Paige jeans, and I’ve been wearing them ever since. I’ve been wearing them with flip flops, and once fall hits I’ll switch to kitten heels and a pair of boots like these.
These caught my eye: This by Paige and this new coated jean. Mix brown with light gray, baby blue, light (ballerina) pink and soft white
#2 Ballerina Pink

Pink is one of the most important color trends of 2026, which is exciting for those of us who love it 🙂 Soft, pretty pink pairs beautifully with many other colors (especially brown, white, gray, and navy). It’s very easy to incorporate a piece or two into your wardrobe, and there are many great options available right now.
These caught my eye: This woven flat is really cute, and look at this new midi length Staud dress and gorgeous splurge sweater by Khaite
#3 Zebra Print

Animal print is everywhere this season, and a bold zebra print makes a big statement! Try just a touch, like a cool belt or a shoe — and it works nicely with an all-black outfit.
These caught my eye
#4 Tomato Red

I’ve been seeing all shades of red lately — and this bright color looks especially nice with a classic white tee and a tan trench. There are also red bomber style jackets everywhere, but they’re selling quickly so don’t wait.
These caught my eye: This Madewell flat, this red woven tote that’s back in stock and this new silk bandana
#5 Belts Make Your Jeans Look Updated

Belts are the perfect way to make your jeans look cooler and more updated. This season, I’m noticing larger belt buckles on the runways thanks to Celine and Dior. I’ve also been seeing a western style like this over many dresses and skirts … so chic.
These caught my eye: Loving everything from the brand Déhanche. Also look at these by Aureum. For affordable ones, check out this one by J.Crew
#6 Drawstring Pants

Drawstring pants have been “the cool pant” to wear all year long (see the one I recommend here and here). If you want to try something new, look for a fun bright color — they look great with just a simple white tee and flip flops or flats. I have my eye on this dot print one, and this new green cotton one.
These caught my eye: This J.Crew cotton one, these silk tafetta ones by Chan Luu, and these by Donni
#7 Long Necklaces

Longer pendant style necklaces are super stylish, and they add interest to a simple outfit. This is the one everyone is talking about and it’s all over Instagram!
#8 Snake Print

Snake print is always elegant, and just one little touch can completely elevate your outfit. I especially love to add this print on bags and boots this time of year. This new splurge boot is in my shopping bag.
These caught my eye:
#9 Plaid Jackets

I’ve been noticing plaid jackets everywhere lately, and you can easily wear them now and later – here’s what caught my eye:

I bought this cute Tory Burch tank earlier in the season – mainly because of the pretty flower pin, and then I just noticed this new brown stripe tank with the matching skirt just arrived. Here’s a few more I found that caught my eye:
