For spring 2026 fashion trends, designers are focused on expanding classic silhouettes and colors to uncharted territory — a soft departure from the crazed fads we saw dominate the 2025 spring/summer season (hello, labubus). For the New York Fashion Week shows that ran from Sept. 11 to Sept. 17, designers provided a slew of inspiration for our wardrobes next spring, even though looks won’t hit stores until six months from now. Fortunately, you can start wearing these trends immediately — even as the fall solstice comes at a lightning speed.
“The Summer I Turned Pretty” Fashion Secrets, From Belly’s Butter-Yellow Dress to Reformation Favorites
We are proud participants in “The Summer I Turned Pretty” fandom here at Popsugar (way before the recent hype). And can you really blame us? Although completely fictional, the complexity and allure of the show’s love triangle is so relatable — namely, the entanglement of Belly Conklin (Lola Tung) with Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno) and Conrad Fisher (Christopher Briney), who also happen to be brothers. A classic, messy love story. While our eyes are constantly glued to the screen in anticipation of the latest drama every Wednesday, we’re paying attention to the outfits just as much as the story — not because they’re absolutely groundbreaking as far as sartorial convention goes, but because of their accessibility.

Naked Dresses Dominated the 2025 VMAs Red Carpet, From Sabrina Carpenter to Tate McRae
The annual MTV Video Music Awards is not only one of music’s biggest celebrations, but also presents another opportunity for attendees and performers to show off their sartorial best. Sheer was a reigning trend throughout the night held at New York’s UBS Arena, namely with Sabrina Carpenter and Tate McRae outfits. The “Man’s Best Friend” singer stunned in a completely sheer, beaded red gown from Valentino with a lavender fuzzy boa. Meanwhile, McRae embraced the trend in a custom Ludovic de Saint Sernin number that featured a bra top with a plunging sweetheart neckline and twisted spaghetti straps paired with a see-through skirt with a train creating a cutout silhouette.
