Today I'm going to be sharing with you all my 2026 fashion trend predictions.

And I'll be honest, I almost didn't make this episode because the conversation around fashion trends right now is an absolute mess.

It's chaos.

And I'm not 100% sure where I stand on things.

On one hand, people are saying that everyone's exhausted by the trend cycle.

The fashion trend cycle has sped up so quick to the point that no one wants to keep up anymore.

It's exhausting and it's wasteful.

And on top of that, it's actually become not cool, in some people's opinion, to keep up with trends because it's a sign of being chronically online, which is no longer cool.

Complicated.

But I see that side of the argument.

Trends have almost become a trend.

And the thing about a trend is that it'll always go out.

And so it's almost becoming trendy now to not pay attention to trends and to try to develop a personal style, try to...

create a sort of capsule wardrobe with timeless pieces that you can re-wear in style in a bunch of different ways, which I think is a great thing.

But also, that might also be sort of a trend in itself.

Okay, see, this is why this conversation is hellish, okay?

Because it's like a rabbit hole, really.

I briefly interrupt this episode to let you know that this episode is presented by Venmo.

Okay, hear me out.
