While you’re working on your year-ahead vision board and list of goals for 2026, it’s critical that you don’t skip over new years style resolutions––I mean, that’s probably the most fun of them all, right? I think so, anyway.
Just like with manifestation, you have to set the scene first, creating an environment that welcomes in and aligns with the newness of what you’re wishing for to arrive. In order to receive love, you have to give love, to earn the promotion, you have to deem yourself worthy in your own eyes, too, and, of course, if you want to show up as your best self, you have to dress the part.
So, let’s set ourselves up for success in 2026 with new years style resolutions that feel forward without leaning overly trendy. These “it” items feel fresh for the year ahead, marking them as worthy investments that will prove to be key players in your styling arsenal as new trend aesthetics cycle in and out throughout the year. Consider these trends an upgrade from 2025 trends that you’ll wear throughout the year and beyond.
Below, shop the trends that will top the new years style resolution list and make this your best and most stylish year yet.
Must-Have Funnel Neck Jacket
As an upgrade to the tried-and-true bomber jacket, adding the funnel neckline feels fresh and makes the classic style feel new again––just ask luxury houses like Victoria Beckham, Altuzarra, and Khaite. Try the style in classic leather, a colored suede, or even nylon for a sporty approach.
ZARA
Faux Leather Cropped Jacket
Near-Neutral Leather Bag
The coolest colors for 2026 aren’t neons or over-the-top brights, subtly shift from tried-and-true black to a rich-looking navy, chocolate brown, or hazel and your accessories arsenal will already feel renewed. Even though it’s a refreshed color, near-neutral shades still allow for easy mixing-and-matching.
DeMellier
The New York Shoulder
Go-To Workout Set
For me, the easiest way to get myself to a workout is if I’m excited to style an activewear look, both for the commute there and in the gym. Find a silhouette that makes you feel confident and doesn’t conflict with your performance, and you’ll find yourself reaching for it time and time again.
Serenity Scrunch Leggings
A Cool Flat
Minimalistic clogs and elevated takes on ballet flats are another runway repeat that’s easy to translate for everyday wear. Ditch your casual clogs or youth ballet flats for a more grown up take on comfort dressing to achieve your boss-level goals in 2026.
BY FAR
Black Prudence Creased Leather Ballet Flats
Talisman Jewelry
Jewelry is the perfect and subtle way to show off your personality—for me, I never take off my talisman jewelry and I’ll style around it. Pendant necklaces are trend-forward while showcasing your personal style and memorializing your year-ahead mantra. A win-win!
Celeste Starre
I Am Protected Egypt Necklace
Elevated Track Pants
Pants that I can style back to sneakers for daytime and elevate with heels for dinner out when I don’t feel like wearing my same pair of jeans? Yeah, I’m hooked. These Adidas track pants were my most-worn item of 2025, and I’ll be bringing this into the year ahead, too.
adidas
Adicolor Satin Wide Leg Track Pants
Stylish Sneakers
“It” sneakers are ever-evolving, and, currently, the market is moving towards “hybrid shoes”–-those that aren’t defined by a dress code but find a way to work around it for a multitude of occasions. Salomon will bring an ethos of newness to your sneaker collection.
