Check out the beauty and style trends we’re taking into 2026 below:
“Dress Up or Down” Track Pants
Track pants continue to dominate because they can work for day or night. Pair them with sneakers and a tee for running errands, or dress them up with heels and a bodysuit for cocktails. They’re practical, chic, and endlessly versatile.
Statement Faux-Fur Jackets
Faux-fur jackets are a winter must-have. They instantly elevate any outfit, whether you’re layering over workout gear or a minidress. A plush coat adds luxury without breaking the bank.
The Just-Sexy-Enough Bodysuit
Bodysuits that hit the perfect balance of sexy and sophisticated are indispensable. They pair effortlessly with jeans, skirts, or trousers and save you from outfit stress on busy nights.
“Wear Everywhere” Trousers
High-waist trousers that transition from work to leisure are key. Look for pieces that are comfortable, flattering, and versatile enough to style with sneakers or heels.
Skincare-Infused Makeup
Beauty is evolving with makeup that doubles as skincare. Foundations and creams now hydrate, protect, and enhance the skin while delivering color, reflecting a growing trend in multifunctional products.
Mental Wellness Meets Beauty
Devices like NESA, which use microcurrents to reduce stress and improve sleep, or the OURA ring, are becoming part of luxury beauty routines. A holistic approach to wellness and appearance is officially in.
Niche Fragrances
Unique, personalized scents are gaining popularity. Consumers want perfumes that reflect individuality rather than following trends, embracing the retroculture and sustainability mindset that’s shaping modern style.
PDRN Skincare
Collagen-boosting treatments like PDRN are moving from clinics to at-home formats. Sheet masks, eye creams, and serums now deliver professional-grade results, making advanced skincare accessible to everyone.
