I’m Abby!.
I'm a certified & published fashion stylist located in Silicon Valley with speciality in personal styling, color analysis and runway, commercial, and editorial styling.

Fashionistas, winter style is officially here, and this year’s trends are all about texture, color, and elevated everyday dressing. If you love incorporating new seasonal trends, look no further, this season’s trends are wearable, polished, and easy to tailor for different silhouettes and color palettes.

Below is a snapshot of our top winter trends, all of which can be incorporated into a custom lookbook or personal shopping appointment.

Winter in Color

Bold color is one of the strongest winter trends of 2026. Pinks, jewel tones, icy blues, and saturated magenta instantly bring life to a winter wardrobe.

Inside Abby’s styling process, this trend is especially helpful for clients who have recently learned their seasonal color palette. Once you know what colors support your skin tone, adding strategic color becomes one of the fastest ways to elevate your everyday outfits.

If you’ve completed a Color Analysis with us, this is the perfect season to shop intentionally within your palette.

Cozy in Faux Fur

Faux fur is everywhere this year because it adds warmth and style with minimal effort. Structured silhouettes, oversized hoods, and mixed textures make these pieces feel elevated.

For personal shopping clients, faux fur is often the piece that transforms an outfit from casual to polished. It’s also a staple we include in many winter Shoppable Lookbooks because it creates an instant “finished” look for events, dinners, and holiday travel.

If you struggle to find outerwear that feels intentional, this trend is a great place to start.

Perfectly Plaid

Plaid is a classic winter print, but designers are refreshing it with new structures and proportions. Dresses, skirts, jackets, and accessories all get the plaid treatment this season.

For Abby’s New Client Collection, plaid is often used to build timeless base pieces that work across multiple outfits. It’s clean, versatile, and easy to style regardless of lifestyle or age.

This trend works especially well for fashionistas rebuilding a foundational wardrobe.

A Touch of Red

Red continues to be one of the dominant colors of the season. You’ll see it used in outerwear, accessories, eyewear, and evening pieces.

In our Shoppable Lookbooks, a pop of red is often the quickest way to modernize a client’s wardrobe without replacing too much at once. It adds personality and confidence and photographs beautifully.

If you like staying on trend while keeping your wardrobe minimal, a red accessory is the easiest upgrade.

Reimagined Punk

Chains, studs, denim, intentional hardware, and structured silhouettes are trending — not in a literal punk sense, but in a polished, modern way.

This is a trend Abby uses for clients who want something a little more fashion-forward but still elevated. Paired correctly, one statement piece is all you need.

If you’re craving something that pushes your style just a bit, this trend offers controlled edge.
