New year, new trends? It's New Years Eve and Lucinda and Chelsea are crystal ball-gazing into 2026 to predict the biggest fashion moments about to take over your wardrobe.

We’re breaking down the return of "ugly" fashion (hello, mismatched prints and dad sneakers), why Gen Z is officially cancelling matching activewear sets, and the unexpected "funnel neck" silhouette that’s about to replace your blazer.

Chelsea makes the case for the controversial return of fringe (yes, really) and Lucinda explains why "accessory addiction" is the new quiet luxury. Plus, we're getting into which trends have graduated from "emerging" to "commercial" – meaning they are actually worth your hard-earned cash.
