Fashion Experts Declare War on Your Favorite Leggings and Neutral Sweaters
KEY POINTS
- •Business Insider consulted stylists Kendra Sharpe and Natalie Tincher for must-retire 2025 wardrobe items before 2026.
- •Leggings and slim tailored coats are out, replaced by wide-leg knit pants and oversized, slouchy blazers for comfort and style.
- •Quiet luxury’s muted colors are replaced by bold saturated shades and mixed-metal jewelry to boost personality and trendiness.
Business Insider rounded up stylists Kendra Sharpe and Natalie Tincher dropping 2026 fashion burn notices louder than your uncle’s bad karaoke. Light-wash jeans and slim tailored coats are getting the boot faster than a TikTok trend dies. Leggings, yes your beloved second skin from morning Zooms to midnight snacks, must be swapped for wide-leg knit pants that scream 'I tried.' Quiet luxury’s muted tones are canceled for bold colors like cobalt that shout personality louder than a 90s sitcom laugh track. Even your combat boots are getting benched for sleeker slouchy leather kicks, because apparently, chunky equals "out." And if you're still wearing all-gold accessories like it’s circa 2007? It’s time to mix metals, because 'trendier' means sparkling and clashing like a family reunion gone wild. The pre-wrinkled look? Too sloppy to specify, replaced by polished micro-pleats that say "I'm textured but responsible." Prepare your closets for a full reboot that’s less ‘Netflix lounge’ and more ‘high fashion runway apocalypse.’

Fashion says your leggings and cozy neutrals are officially cancelled. Wide-leg pants and command-performance colors are the new 'wear or you can’t sit with us.'
Apparently 2026 style is oversized coats, mixed-metal bling, and killing your favorite comfy clothes. RIP leggings, you will be missed-ish.
Leggings are out, wide-leg pants in. Soon we'll all stumble through life trying to figure out how to dress "respectfully comfortable."
