So my instincts could be based on that or just a weird gut feeling.

I'm not 100% sure.

Source number two is what I already mentioned, but in a more conscious way, like hanging out at a trendy cafe in Los Angeles and seeing people's trendy outfits, looking at runway shows, going on Pinterest, but like consciously noticing things.

seeing it over and over again and being like oh that's a thing now that must be or it's going to be a thing soon because I keep seeing it and then source number three is a mindfulness around like past trends in decades and like what was trendy say in the 50s 60s 70s 80s 90s and just kind of being like you know that hasn't had a moment in a while it's probably going to come back soon

That's the thing with trends.

They really always come back.

And oftentimes they're sort of reinvented in a modern way.

But, you know, I recently made a Trendy or Timeless episode about 80s fashion.

And I made that episode because I started to feel like the 80s was coming back.

Number one, because the 80s haven't had a moment in a while.

And then number two, because I started to see little glimmers of it in runway shows.

And I was like, oh, I think this is going to go mainstream soon.

and so i made that episode and you'll notice in this episode there are some 80s fashion trends that i think are going to come back in 2026 because i think it's time i think it's going to happen um but again take all this with a grain of salt i don't really know what i'm talking about i'm kind of just going based on vibes and instinct and also just what i've literally seen out there start to pop up you know

so without further ado these are my 2026 fashion trend predictions starting with tight pants tucked in to knee-high riding boots imagine horseback rider aesthetic okay tight pants beautiful tailoring tucked into a sleek simple riding boot shiny i'm thinking like shiny leather riding boot

dark wash jeans that are tight, a knit almost borderline legging sort of pant tucked into a boot.

I've seen this a little bit on the internet, but it also kind of gives me like Princess Diana vibes.

Did she wear that?

I just Googled Princess Diana skinny jeans with boots.

Hold on.

Oh yeah, she was totally doing it and it looks good.
