Spill the tea because your closet just got a major upgrade. Spring 2026 is here, and it’s giving everything—from fringed nightmares to poetcore vibes. As a maximalist who’s been craving a fashion moment that actually makes me feel like a rockstar, I’ve been obsessed with how these trends blend into my style. Plus, I’ve been hunting for plus-size and inclusive brands that nail the look without sacrificing comfort. Read on for the six trends I’m stealing, how to mix them, and why you’ll want to start shopping now.
Fringe is everywhere, and I mean everywhere. From delicate tulle at Aknvast to chunky shredded leather at McQueen, it’s the ultimate statement piece. I paired it with a voluminous skirt for a lush, dramatic vibe—think Bottega Veneta’s “New New Bottega” collection meets Eloquii’s metallic fringe skirt. It’s all about texture and movement, and honestly, I’m living for the way it catches light. Pro tip: Use double-sided tape for the bare midriff moments (yes, we’re all doing it).
Poetcore is the aesthetic of your dreams—dark academia meets Diane Keaton vibes. It’s all about layering: lace collars under slouchy suits, polka-dots with buttery leather coats. I loved how Coach and Erdem played with it, but my favorite? A faux bustier necktie top from Eloquii. It’s the ultimate cheat code for layering without the hassle. Bonus: It’s perfect for someone who’s always battling bust vs. waist ratios.
Balloon pants are the next step in the evolution of wide-leg jeans, but they’re so much more. Think nipped ankles, dramatic volume, and a vibe that says, “I take up space.” Derek Lam’s utilitarian khaki version and Bronx and Banco’s sheer pleats are my faves. Pair them with a poetcore top and a red blazer, and you’re basically a literary icon. (Pro tip: Add a relaxed trench for that slightly frazzled author energy.)
💫 I went for a velvet skirt from Tamara Malas (inspired by theater curtains, obviously) paired with a cream blouse.
Pirate dressing is the chaotic maximalism we’ve all been craving—ruffles, bows, and a dash of “arr matey” attitude. I went for a velvet skirt from Tamara Malas (inspired by theater curtains, obviously) paired with a cream blouse. It’s equal parts pirate and poetcore, and honestly, I’m thrilled to finally embrace the chaotic beauty of it all.
Primary colors are the hero of the season. Reds, yellows, and blues are everywhere, and I’m here for it. My red boots tied the look together perfectly, but you could go full rainbow if you’re feeling adventurous. The key? Own it.
KEY POINTS: Mix fringe with structured blazers for drama, invest in a poetcore-ready faux bustier top, and don’t be afraid to go full rainbow with bold colors.
