Nostalgia for the aesthetics of a decade ago has hit with a vengeance, and what we used to call “unfashionable” is now an absolute must-have. Many of us may still have these types of clothes in our wardrobes! It’s worth taking them out and styling them again.
Traditional skinny jeans have officially ended their holiday and are back on the streets with a bang. Although wide legs have dominated in recent seasons, 2026 brings back typical skinny pants. The combination of tight jeans with a long sweater or airy tunic is an absolute classicwhich looks fresh and modern again. Currently, almost every chain store offers a wide range of colors for these trousers: from classic indigo, through washed graphite, to bold pastels.
In 2026, we stick to the proven principle from a decade ago: the perfect leg ends just before the ankle. This length not only makes you look slimmer, but also allows you to fully expose your footwear, e.g. worker boots, which are perfect for winter. They can also be combined with over-the-knee boots. In a more elegant version, they will work well with a longer shirt and an oversize jacket.

The leather biker jacket is an unquestionable symbol of the aesthetics of 2016, which in 2026 again becomes the foundation of styling. The perfect biker jacket has a slightly lowered shoulder line, massive silver zippers and the obligatory belt at the bottom. The most fashionable material? In addition to classic black leather, suede models in chocolate or deep burgundy are also popular.
A biker jacket is the best way to add character to airy wardrobe items. You can throw a leather jacket over a long floral maxi dress or a satin dress. It’s a good idea to wear a classic gray hoodie under a larger biker jacket. If you want a 2016 style, you can combine it with skinny jeans.

There was also a large bag. After years when small models reigned supreme, shopper shoes are coming back into favor. It has to be large, eye-catching and easily fit a laptop, a cosmetics bag and a takeaway coffee.
The most fashionable models are those with geometric shapes or, on the contrary, completely soft, “baggy” shapes. Currently, two finishes dominate in chain stores: eco-leather with a pea texture and suede, especially in deep shades of gray, burgundy and cognac brown.
