If you’ve been scrolling style feeds lately, you’ve likely noticed the whispers: 2010s fashion is making a serious comeback. And at New York Fashion Week’s fall 2026 shows, the revival was undeniable.
Skinny jeans, peplum tops, and statement necklaces dominated the runways, proving millennialcore is no longer a cringe-worthy memory of the past; it’s a current trend.
Coach kicked off the week with a skater-inspired collection, complete with plaid jackets, distressed Bermuda shorts, and worn-in sneakers that felt straight out of a Brooklyn hipster’s closet.
7 For All Mankind took things even further, presenting embellished denim, club-ready dresses, and the teeny miniskirts that defined the decade. Peplum details appeared on many runways—from Tory Burch’s romantic designs to Proenza Schouler’s cold-shouldered column dresses—turning the once-familiar silhouette into a modern statement.
Accessories leaned bold, with slim scarves and rhinestone necklaces making dramatic statements. Even athleisure and streetwear got modernized with leather military jackets and tailored cuts, proving that the 2010s can be luxe, fresh, and ready for this season’s fashion cycle.
With brands embracing nostalgia while updating silhouettes, it’s clear: the 2010s are back, and they’re here to stay.
Top "Millennial" Fashion Styles of 2026:
H&M Knit Peplum Top
With a flared hem that flatters every figure, the peplum top is a key 2010s revival trend. H&M’s classic, versatile option is a stylish, budget-friendly way to embrace it.
Old Navy High-Waisted Vintage Slim Jeans
Think of these Old Navy slim pairs as a more contemporary take on the OG skinny jeans. They're sleek, not so tight that you have to shimmy your way in, and are a steal for $23.
Dolce Vita Women's Serlo Pump
While "ugly" pumps were one of NYFW’s standout trends, we also spotted sleek, small stiletto pumps—a throwback to the early aughts that looks just as good with peplum tops as it does with bandage dresses.
COS Waisted Milano-Knit Cardigan
Innovative tailoring inspired by the OG military jacket gives a fresh nod to 2010s style, and we’re obsessed with the oversized collar and casual button-up details on this COS jacket.
Kate Spade New York Shine Me Up Necklace
Statement necklaces ruled our 2010s fits, and the trend is making a sparkling comeback. Try a gem-encrusted Kate Spade necklace for a pop of color and instant outfit inspo.
meilun Women's Rayon Off Shoulder Bandage Bodycon Dress
Modernize your bandage dress with a statement coat featuring fur-fringe trim. Block heels add just the right amount of chic structure.
Ray-Ban RB2140 Original Wayfarer Square Sunglasses
Ray-Bans never really disappeared, and the Wayfarer proved why it was a 2010s must-have. Now it’s officially time to bring it back into rotation. These are a classic pair and worth the splurge (trust)
Splits59 Ashby Rib Tank
The classic long-tank-under-tee trick may have ruled the 2010s, but today it’s all about wearing tanks solo beneath spring funnel-neck jackets for a clean, modern spin.
Free People We The Free Montana Shorts
It’s no surprise Gen Z is loving the iconic 2010s staple: jorts. These oversized shorts are easy to style and add a cool, edgy twist to another 2010s classic—baby tees.
Steve Madden Mavis Wedge High Top Sneaker
Wedge sneakers are quietly making their return, and honestly? It was only a matter of time. With sneaker-ballet crossovers trending, this throwback style feels right at home paired with low-rise wide-leg denim.
’90s minimalism is back and we found trending styles on sale, starting at $22.
