predict one new fashion trend for 2026

Flaunting your wealth will be cool again as normies have been embracing the neo frugality cope for a couple of years by now

Yeah, stealth wealth is turbo normie now.

I predict a comeback of gaudy gucci belts (except now, even men will wear them) and maybe even a comeback of pre-2005 preppy mall menswear (normie fits, RL polos, slim fit khakis). Zoomies will say shit like:
>member the time when people used to go to mall to buy their clothes, wow it was such a magic time back then, so much SOVL

This guy reminds me of Uncle Fester when he found a girlfriend who did a total makeover of his look.

Hopefully soap shoes

>>18484750
isn't that already cool?
>>18484783
5 people wore those

70s might be back

>>18484745 (OP)
Easy!
Big hair, skinny jeans, shoulder pads, volume x stark proportion in general will be big (recession indicator)…… Hmmmm……..
Like others are saying it will be cool again to look swagged out
Basically wigger maxxing but informed by 80’s and 2010’s hedonism x maximalism

gen A/nu-Z is going to feel nostalgic for the williamsburg nyc pbr sipping skinnyjean/keffiyeh wearing copstache hipster they faintly remember hearing about through media but zero live experience with it. they have no point of reference to build on except the big bang theory that aired during that time, so instead theyre gonna have whole inspo folders of wolowitz fits.

their tendency for ironypoisoning will dub the aesthetic as ‘theorywave’ as a play on the show and wolowitz’s designs always consisting of subversive, clashing triadic colors in uncomfortably tight fits. the trend gains traction as more normies grow tired and rebel against the widespread pervasiveness of spoonfed earth tone/monochromatic styles pushed hard by millennials projecting their minimalist depression grey into every design choice. its the closest fashion revival with the spirit of punk, but their skinny pants are a symbol of rage against oppressive faux-accessible pinterest boards and r/mfa redditgroids.

Gen Z is starting to do this kind of look:
I don't know what to think, but it does seem kind of based.

>>18484745 (OP)
If I ever walk out of my house dressed like a pathetic manchild like him, I'll have to kill myself.

marketing executive here (I hide my power levels at work). Here's what's on the horizon, many of these have already started gaining traction but will explode in winter 2025 or in 2026:
>bootcut jeans
>desert boots
>nike killshot 2
>brad pitt fight club hair (sometimes with frosted tips) "warrior cut"
>sidepart, almost like a bowl cut, with brushed forward bangs for men "the scouse"
>italian style beards
>disconnected goatees
>casually worn blazers (especially over hoodies)
>v-neck t-shirts (this may be 2027)
>early-mid 2000s twee revival for women (not the 2010s Tumblr version)
>men wearing women's size (28mm-32mm) vintage style watches

>>18484753
they already say that

>>18484745 (OP)
nudity laws will be under further pressure from civilians, who will be attempting to be nude as a trend.

also dick pics will be ready to be viewed in public from men, who will have QR codes tattooed onto their chests or will be worn as patches on clothing.

90s douche bro chin strap goatee

ironic trucker hats
swoopy straight emo kid hair
goatees
hoop ear rings
crucifixes/roasries
Converse Chucks
uggs
hoodies
keffiyeh
ironic reappropriation of Ed Hardy T-shirts
v-necks
checkerboard pattern Vans
bob cut
ironic jersey shore reappropriation

basically moving on from late 90s early 2000s to mid and late 2000s retro

a few tiktoks will go viral which lead to people openly mocking the oversized tee and associated looks.

they will be deemed "uniqlo uncs", with references to bryan johnson, zuckerberg, hasan piker etc.

zoomers respond by winding back the current retro influence to the mid century and adopting the tighter, shorter sleeved undershirt tee

White belts. Not emo exactly with black and skinny jeans. Think of more like a pop idol from Disney. Like Drake from Drake and Josh, or if you took Timmy Turner from FairlyOddParents and glammed him up.

Essentially, think of early 2000s when Abercrombie was at its peak but before emo. A bit of Britney Spears and Backstreet from 1999 meets MySpace.

A store that used to sell this style? Anchor blue circa 2004.

2k26 will be the year of the dreadlock beard.

>>18485596
this is just a list of cringe fashions from 2006

>>18485615
no shit, i literally say its from the mid to late 2000s in the post ya dip

2010s will then become retro in the 2030s

>>18484745 (OP)
Full-on indie sleaze. Already crawling back from the depths but give it another year and everyone will be swanning about like they raided Hedi Slimane’s atelier: skinny jeans, leather jackets three sizes too small, and a permanent pout like they’ve just been kicked out of a Babyshambles afterparty.
