Ukrainian designer Andre Tan has spoken about the key fashion items of 2026. The new season will bring a return of statement silhouettes, a rethinking of past trends, and a move away from excessive perfection, according to his Instagram.
What will be in trend in 2026
Hussar jackets
One of the most striking trends of 2026 will be hussar jackets. Although they did not become mainstream in 2025, these designs are already appearing in collections and stores.
According to Andre Tan, they are set to become a real hit in the new season. The designer advises paying attention to both vintage versions and modern interpretations featuring decorative buttons and statement shoulders.

Skinny jackets
Another trend is the return of fitted silhouettes. Leather skinny jackets are already actively appearing on the market and are gradually replacing oversized styles.
In 2026, they are set to become a wardrobe staple, emphasizing the figure and creating a more polished look. At the same time, the designer warns that after the long dominance of loose shapes, the shift toward skinny silhouettes may not be easy.

Short length
Fashion is once again turning to the past, with short lengths coming back into focus. Jeans, trousers, capri pants, and even skirts that were previously longer will look on trend in 2026 specifically in cropped versions.
This marks a return to 2000s aesthetics, which Andre Tan describes as one of the key stylistic decisions of the season.

Glitter for everyday wear
Shimmering elements have fully moved beyond evening fashion. Sequins, metallic fabrics, and glitter are now appropriate even in everyday looks, whether for a walk or city life.
In 2026, this kind of decor will become a way to add mood and accent without excessive formality.

Imperfect silhouettes
The trend for perfection is fading into the background. Instead, fashion is embracing asymmetry, deconstruction, and soft, slightly unfinished shapes.
According to the designer, this kind of stylish chaos looks modern and allows everyone to interpret an outfit in their own way.

Natural animal prints
Andre Tan pays special attention to animal prints. In 2026, the aggressive leopard gives way to a softer, gentler aesthetic.
The so-called Bambi print becomes a new way to express a love for nature, harmoniously combined with natural tones and calm textures.

Thus, 2026 fashion is a balance between the past and the present, experimenting with shapes, and moving away from rigid rules. Andre Tan emphasizes that the main trend is to stay true to yourself and not be afraid of stylistic changes.
