Let’s be real: It can be overwhelming, at times, to seamlessly incorporate one or more of the latest trends into your closet. Many have found themselves coveting and then buying a trendy piece only to end up feeling like it is too “out there” and not organic to their personal style. As a result, the piece is simply too hard to mix and match with the usual rotation of looks, so it just sits there, and you’re left regretting the purchase. As a fashion expert, I’ve become more and more equipped to avoid that frustrating scenario.
For winter 2026, there are a variety of trends that are super easy to pull off. One of my current go-tos is a great pair of cool kitten-heel boots. The style is pretty much a classic at this point. Plus, they can be worn with everything from dresses to denim. Another favorite pick right now is bootcut jeans. There is an array of options for this denim style that easily fit into any fashion aesthetic. Keep scrolling to check out five wearable trends I recommend you try now.
