2026 fashion and beauty retro revival trends

Overview

By early October, the retro trend has extended into beauty. Fashion forecasts for the 2026-2027 winter season highlight a shift toward vibrant, dopamine-inducing colors. The Pantone Color Institute predicts ten dominant colors, blending natural tones with bright, optimistic hues such as orange, red, pink, and yellow.

Specific color trends include ‘Chili Pepper Red,’ described as a high-energy, earthy accent color. Purple is also emerging as a significant trend for accessories, particularly footwear, where experts suggest pairing purple shoes with classic brown tones, color-blocking with turquoise or green, or creating high-contrast looks with red or pale yellow.

Nostalgic hair trends from the 1990s and 2000s are also resurfacing for the autumn and winter of 2026. One prominent style is the ‘Pammy Up-do,’ inspired by Pamela Anderson, which features voluminous, loosely pinned-up curly or wavy hair with strands left out to frame the face. Additionally, the ‘Halo Braid’ or ‘Milkmaid Braid’—a style involving braided hair wrapped around the head—is making a comeback, blending romantic Scandi-style with a Greek goddess aesthetic.
