Like high-low skirts were in in the early 2000s in a really hideous, hideous, hideous, hideous sort of way.

If I'm remembering correctly, I'm imagining the high-low skirt in like a very soft, elegant sort of way that is almost like subtle to the point where it doesn't even read as a high-low skirt.

It is, but it doesn't read like that because it's perhaps flowy or modern in such a way where it doesn't feel reminiscent of high-low skirts in the past that now would read as like sort of choogy.

I could see it.

Moving on to flannel and plaid.

I think mainly in the form of like flannel shirts, but not in like a cowboy sort of way, more in like a preppy way.

You know, like a fitted flannel shirt tucked into like some tight jeans, and then tucked into a riding boot.

Very like equestrian coated.

But also beyond that, plaids in general, but like elevated, gentle, soft plaids, like very subtle plaids, not like thick, chunky, bright plaids, but like easy on the eyes plaids in little button up shirts, little skirts, perhaps in like little scarves to tie around the head or not even, you know, anything.

I don't know.

I feel like plaid and flannels are going to have a moment.

And when I say flannel, I mean like a plaid flannel.

You know what a flannel is?

Button up, soft, collared shirt, plaid usually.

Yeah.

Maybe the core of 2026 is like equestrian core.

I'm kind of feeling that.

That's kind of a pattern I'm seeing as I'm reciting this list.

But also, it seems that the patterns I'm seeing, equestrian core, horseback riding core, and 80s, that's the overarching theme, it seems.

Okay, moving on, moving on.
