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. Apparently, you can earn cash back with your Venmo debit card. All you have to do is join Venmo Stash in boom. You get cash back when you shop at your favorite brands. It's kind of an awesome flex. With Venmo stash, you can get up to 5% cash back at your fave brands.

So that's one side of the argument that people are sick of trends. The trend cycle has

sped up too quick. No one can keep up. And so everyone's giving up on it and doing their own thing.

And also too, because of the internet, everything is

sort of trendy all at once. Like, we're exposed to so many different types of people wearing

so many different types of outfits. And there's so many different aesthetic niches and this and

that, that we're kind of seeing every single type of outfit possible through the internet.
