2026 is coming up fast, but before you declare it's "a new year and a new you," there might just be a few things from 2025 worth hanging onto.

There are a few standout fashion trends we haven't been able to stop thinking about this year, and we don't think they'll be going away as we get ready to usher in 2026.

Beautiful shades of burgundy and chocolate brown, rich suede, slouchy handbags and cigarette jeans have dominated our shopping carts and closets this year, and we can't say we're mad about having them stick around a while longer.

Thankfully, there are still so many fresh styles out there worth shopping, from staple brands like Quince, Old Navy and Gap, starting at just $26!

Shop our favorite 2025 trends that we just can't quit, below.
