One of the Biggest Trends of Spring 2026 Is This Buzzy Spring

Now that the layers can finally be removed and our garments are no longer hidden beneath outerwear, we can again turn our attention to more fun trends, including prints. Spring and summer are undoubtedly the times when print trends are at their peak, as we have seen with polka dots for the past few years. Speaking of polka dots, they’re a classic, but if you’re feeling a little tired, I’m officially putting bandana print (AKA paisley print) on your radar.

As someone who does a lot of scrolling and shopping for a living, it’s impossible for me to ignore that the bandana print is definitely not the bandana exclusive in 2026. Lately, I’ve seen it in shorts, swimwear, tees, hats, bags, and even socks. Given the ongoing popularity of all things Western-inspired in fashion, the rise of the bandana-print trend shouldn’t come as a surprise, and straight bandanas were popular last summer (specifically, worn like a handkerchief, around the neck, or around the waist as a belt). But now, it’s no longer just a subtle trend – it’s officially a major S/S 26 trend. Kendall has worn it, Gigi has worn it, and maybe soon you will too. Keep scrolling to choose your shoppable item.
