Basic T-shirt
I have always been iffy when it comes to T-shirt. But lately I realize that they make dressing up quite easy. You can go for graphic t-shirts or some with words that resonate with you.
However, for a start, I will say go for a basic white t-shirt, black, grey or navy options. Why? Because they are neutrals that you can pair with a lot of pieces in your closet. Need what to wear with your orange pants for example, any of the above will work just fine. I will link some of my favorites below.
Skinny Jeans
Boy, am I excited that skinny jeans are back. Of course, I am a skinny jeans gal through and through. I really hated the barrel leg jeans. But skinny jeans is a staple for me. And of course, it is a timeless 2026 fashion trend you need to jump on right now.
If you rather rock relaxed fit jeans i.e. mom jeans or boyfriend jeans. By all means wear what you love. All these I mentioned are timeless staples that never go out of style.
Practical tote handbags
Tote bags are a corporate girly favorite. Whether it is slouchy, structured or high bucket bags, they are a must have for 2026. One of the 2026 handbag trends are practical tote handbags. And you know this is a timeless piece irrespective of the 2026 fashion trends
Tote handbags are perfect for all occasions. Translate your work tote into travel airport carry all that will work just fine. It will fit your tablet or laptop or even a note pad if you love to write down your thoughts. Michael kors, Kate spade and coach offer great options for you to buy now. And Kate spade is currently having a sale you don’t want to miss out on.
Silk scarf as accessories
My love for silk scarves is eternal. Last year it was the IT girls favorite for Euro summer or summer in Africa. It works well as a hair accessory, for styling your handbags and of course, as a part of your outfit.
I love to wear scarves with my bags. It is my favorite way of elevating my bags with summer colorful silk scarves. Also check out my blog post on scarf outfits to rock in 2026.
Color blocking or color clashing
Minimalism is always but maximalism is here to stay. If you know me, you know I love my colors. In prints, vibrant solid colors in clothing and accessories. Colors make me happy. Not to mention color blocking. I love color blocking as part of my personal styling.
A mix of complementary or colors that work well in a clashing yet chic way. That is my jam. If you’re a maximalist, this is up your alley and will live in your closet forever. Even a minimalist can introduce subtle colors into their closet too. Need more inspiration on how to wear color blocking, you need to take a cue from the Netflix series, Emily in Paris outfits. Season 5 is currently streaming and you should see it just for the fashion.
Sheer
Sheer has come to stay for a long time. If you have been following the red carpet, fashion in the 90s and 80s, you will notice that sheer has always been around.
Sheer has come to stay and will always be one of the timeless 2026 fashion trends that I highly recommend. Think sheer pieces in chiffon, lace among others. You can layer them pieces. And if you’re bold enough rock them alone like the celebrities do on the red carpet. But I will beg you, no granny style pants. Please! Thank you
