4 Summer 2026 Trends the It-Girls Are Wearing
The summer 2026 trend list is short and wearable: blue everything, fringe, hats, and wedge trainers. Here they are, plus how to try them without buying a whole new wardrobe.
By @itsrubiilopez
Rubi's summer 2026 trend round-up is refreshingly short, and every item is easy to fold into clothes you already have. The move with any trend is to add one, not overhaul everything.
The four trends
- Blue, everywhere. Last year's butter yellow gives way to blue hats, bags, and tops.
- Fringe, carried over from festival season, an easy way to lift a plain outfit.
- Hats. A flat cap or baker boy over jeans and a tee instantly elevates the look.
- Wedge trainers, back for height with comfort and a little edge.

Blue, fringe, hats, wedge trainers, add one and let your basics carry it. Watch Rubi's list, then try a trend on your own closet first.
