In 2026, fashion will move toward femininity, structured silhouettes, and carefully considered color combinations, according to Ukrainian stylist Halyna Denysiuk.
Trending colors
According to the expert, the foundation remains muted, dusty shades that are easy to integrate into a daily wardrobe.
"We choose calmer colors – pink, gray, light blue. They will remain relevant in 2026," Denysiuk notes.
At the same time, bright colors are also in trend, but they require a careful approach.
"Yellow, orange, and green shades aren’t for everyone. They need to be correctly combined with base colors: white, cream, black," the stylist explains.
For bolder looks, combinations of bright colors with each other are possible. For example, yellow with green or orange, but always balanced with neutral tones.

Oversized clothing is fading: what’s replacing it
In 2026, the focus is shifting from oversized pieces to more feminine shapes.
"We pay attention to tailored silhouettes: fitted jackets, dresses, structured forms. Oversized clothing is gradually going out of style," says Denysiuk.

Accessories and prints
Scarves remain a versatile accessory in the trends.
"We add scarves to bags, around the neck, or as headwear. Every fashionista should have them in her wardrobe, and not just one," emphasizes the stylist.
Animal prints are also still in style. However, they should be used carefully, as they can visually expand the silhouette.
"Leopard, snake, crocodile, zebra, cow prints – all remain fashionable. If you don’t want to take risks with clothing, incorporate them into accessories," advises Denysiuk.
