This year, I'm finding new trends to sport to dress up my usual go-to uniforms for each season. I tend to wear pants or jeans, but there's one skirt trend I've had on my radar since I noticed the coolest fashion people rocking it. It's a micro trend that I didn't have on my 2026 fashion bingo card, but fashion trends have a way of surprising you from time to time.
I've seen the trend from influencers to fashion editors, so I know it's going to have a major moment come spring. The micro trend is none other than kilts. Yes, you read that correctly. Kilts are traditionally known for their Scottish roots, but have since gone mainstream in the fashion scene. I'm seeing them styled in various ways, paired with sweaters, button-downs, and even layered over jeans. It's a much more versatile micro trend than expected.
If you're feeling brave and want to try out a kilt this spring, keep scrolling for outfit inspiration and shop all kinds of kilts.
