This Madewell high-collared denim bomber jacket is the biggest jacket trend we’re seeing everywhere for 2026 and I totally get the hype. It’s structured, flattering, and instantly makes any outfit look more elevated. Here’s how I took it from wearing to styling: ✔️ Popped the collar + buttoned it at the top ✔️ Pushed up the sleeves (instant cool-girl vibe) ✔️ Tucked in my top + added a belt to define the waist ✔️ Swapped my black heels for ivory heels to create a more cohesive look + make my legs look longer ✔️ Added sunnies ✔️ Grabbed a high-quality handbag for that polished finish These little styling tweaks are honestly guaranteed to elevate any outfit. And if you only add ONE jacket to your closet this season…let it be a high-collared bomber denim jacket. This one is SO good. Sizing: wearing an XS in the jacket + 24 in the jeans.

🚫 3 Denim Trends to STOP Wearing in 2026 (and what to wear instead ✨)

If you want your jeans to instantly look more modern (and more flattering), these are the 3 denim trends I’d retire in 2026 👇🏻

❌ 1. Overly ripped jeans
✅ Swap for a high-waisted wide-leg like these light-wash Mother jeans—so slimming, leg-lengthening, and perfect for spring.

❌ 2. Overly frayed hemlines
✅ Go for a clean hem like these Harper straight-leg jeans by AGolde—classic and goes with everything.

❌ 3. Low-rise skinny jeans
✅ Instead, try the cigarette jean (my favorite trend of 2026!) like these DL1961—high-waisted, tapered ankle, and insanely flattering.

✨ All of these run true to size — I’m wearing a 24 in all three.

💬 Comment below and tell me your favorite denim trend for 2026!

🎥 And if you want even MORE denim trends that are out of style (and what to wear instead), check out my YouTube video I uploaded yesterday! The link is in my stories.

Spring dress season is officially HERE and this Quince cashmere blend ribbed midi dress is an absolute must.

It’s under $100, insanely chic, and I literally own it in THREE colors because it’s that good. It’s ribbed, super slimming, and somehow manages to be form-fitting without feeling too tight (aka the holy grail).

Plus… it’s wrinkle-free which makes it perfect for travel, errands, dinner dates, or those days you just want to look put together with zero effort.

It also comes in 5 gorgeous colors and is the perfect piece to transition you right into spring!

I styled it two ways for y’all:

Look #1: paired with the real leather chocolate brown Quince blazer — such a timeless wardrobe staple I wear on repeat. 🤎

Look #2: styled with this stunning navy blue suede cropped jacket — the color combo with the gray is SO good and feels elevated but still effortless.

✨ Everything runs true to size. I’m wearing an XS in the dress and an XS in both jackets.

One of the hottest denim trends of 2026 is also (in my opinion) one of the most slimming… and it’s the cigarette jean. ✨✨✨

I just got this pair from DL1961 and I’m obsessed. The rise is perfection, the wash looks super luxe (that perfect dark-to-medium denim), and the back pockets are placed exactly where you want them for the most flattering fit.

They hit right at the ankle bone (or slightly below) which is exactly how a cigarette jean should fit. And yes—they have stretch, so they’re comfortable… but still give that snatched, sleek leg look.

Trust me, these are about to become your new go-to jeans. 🙌

They run true to size—I’m wearing a size 24 and highly recommend!

Happy Friday, beauties 🥂

Nothing lifts your mood more than making plans with your girlfriends. So take this as your sign to book the lunch, text the group chat, and make it happen. ✨✨✨

OOTD details:

Cropped ivory vegan leather jacket — so good. It also comes in black, but I love this soft ivory for spring. The minimal hardware makes it incredibly versatile… it truly goes with everything. And the short sleeves? Such a chic detail. The perfect lightweight spring layer. I’m wearing an XS and it runs true to size.

Blue tank from Aritzia — the color is stunning and the fit is so flattering. It does come in several colors, but this blue feels fresh and polished. I’m wearing an XS and it runs true to size.

✨ High-waisted studded jeans by Khaite. — obsessed. Such a fun statement piece while still being wearable. These are sold out, but I linked these exact jeans in the non-studded version. They are seriously some of my most slimming jeans! They run small so size up one size - I’m wearing a 25.

Cheers to the weekend 🥂
Life really is better with girlfriends.

OOTN ✨ My favorite Veronica Beard high-waisted skinny flares — insanely flattering and legs-for-days good. Styled with a lace bustier + silk tuxedo blazer for the perfect night-out look. Everything runs true to size. XS in top & blazer, 24 in denim. 💫

#LTKgrwm #LTKootd #LTKOver40

Nothing makes your wardrobe feel fresh like a great Spring Jacket, and this Amazon find is such a good one for under $50. The ivory tone is so versatile, the champagne gold zipper elevates it, and the soft, comfortable fit makes it perfect for layering. Styled with high-waisted baby flare jeans, this look will transition you beautifully into spring. I’m wearing an XS in the jacket and 24 in the jeans — both fit TTS.

3 under-$100 pieces I’m OBSESSED with right now 🤍✨ If you’re wanting that expensive, elevated look without spending a fortune… these are so good. 1. Light Blue Cashmere Sweater (under $100!) This is one of the softest cashmere sweaters I’ve ever owned and I honestly cannot believe the price. The color is the prettiest light blue and it looks so chic with denim, trousers, or layered under a blazer. Wearing size XS. 2. Quince Straight Leg Jeans ($50!!) 👖 These jeans fit and feel like designer denim. So flattering, so comfy, and the straight leg cut is perfection for spring and summer. Wearing size 24 x 28. 3. Silver Heels ✨ The perfect statement heel for spring + summer. They instantly dress up even the simplest outfit and look amazing with denim, dresses, or white pants. Everything runs true to size and all three pieces are under $100 — which is basically unheard of for this kind of quality.

The bomber jacket trend is still going strong, and this vegan leather version is such a chic, wearable way to try it. I love zipping it halfway and tucking it under for a slightly cropped fit — it defines your waist and gives that effortless, cool-girl shape. The Dolman sleeves add structure without bulk, which makes the whole look feel modern and flattering. I paired it with these insanely slimming cigarette jeans in a dark wash — the fit is incredible and the back pockets are perfectly placed to lift and shape. This is one of those outfits that instantly makes you look polished, streamlined, and put together. Wearing XS in the bomber jacket and 24 in the jeans. ✨

If you’re wondering what jacket trend is about to be everywhere in 2026… it’s the high-collared denim bomber 💙 This Madewell version is structured, flattering, and instantly elevates even the simplest outfit. Pop the collar, button it at the top, push up the sleeves, and define your waist with a belt — those little tweaks make all the difference. I also swapped to ivory heels to lengthen the leg line and finished it with sunnies + a polished bag for that chic, pulled-together feel.

If you add one new jacket this season, make it a high-collared bomber. It’s that good.

Wearing XS in the jacket + 24 in the jeans (both fit TTS).

Soft layers + flattering denim = the kind of outfit you’ll wear on repeat 🤍 This gray ribbed cardigan is so slimming through the waist and the snap-front lets you adjust the neckline depending on how you style it. Paired with these high-waisted wide leg Mother jeans (a top seller for a reason!), the floor-grazing hem and perfectly placed back pockets give that subtle lift we all love. Such a chic spring and summer outfit formula.

I'm wearing an XS in the Cardigan and a size 24 in the Jeans and they both fit tts.

If you want to look stylish without actually “getting dressed,” a neutral matching set is the answer ✨ This tan cropped jacket defines the waist beautifully (I love it zipped for that extra cinch), and the wide-leg pants feel like loungewear but look completely put together.

I paired them with this denim jacket that cinches at the waist, which gives you beautiful definition and keeps a denim-on-denim look feeling tailored, not boxy.
