Spring 2026: Trends to look out for at the thrift!
POSTED March 10, 2026 IN: Fashion

Spring is coming in with a fresh wave of creative trends, perfect for vision boarding and a trip to the thrift! From whimsical layers and expressive patterns to unique color combinations, they can all be recreated at your local Goodwill.
Let’s explore the top trends of the season and how to incorporate it into your wardrobe:
✨ Spring 2026 Trends: What’s Big This Season

1. Fun Color Combinations
Spring is the perfect time to experiment with different colors and accents. A few trending colors this year include: powder blue, olive green, butter yellow, chocolate brown, and touches of red and orange to add a bold pop.
Thrift tip: Don’t be afraid to mix a solid light pastel color with a bold patterned piece. Set aside the items in your closet that align with these colors and start mix and matching color combinations. Then when you have color combinations you like, take a picture of it so on your next trip to the thrift you can find pieces to style with!

2. Styling Silk Scarves
Scarves aren’t just accessories — they double as tops, wraps, and draped layers. Lately, it’s been seen styled as a layer on top of baggy pants or a skirt. It’s a great way to add more dimension to your look.
Thrift tip: Any item that’s silk/satin with fun prints and patterns could be repurposed into a scarf with a little DIY magic! Cut up an old shirt or repurpose a curtain. This is also a great way to get different sized scarves for all kinds of styling options.
3. Elevated Athleisure
Sharp blazers and tailored layers make a great contrast to a comfy oversized tee or relaxed shorts. It’s a great way to balance comfort and confidence.
Thrift tip: There’s always plenty of blazers to go around at Goodwill! Be sure to check out both the Men’s and Women’s section for great tailored suits.

4. Bold Textures
Polka dots, bold stripes, rich suedes, and animal prints are among the popular prints this season. It’s an easy way to add visual interest to any look.
Thrift tip: Don’t forget about the home textiles area when you’re at Goodwill. Sometimes you can find great patterns on tablecloths, placemats, blankets, and more!
Spring 2026 is all about expressive dressing, creative layering, and elevating your personal style. Whether you’re experimenting with bold colors, layering on different textures, or trying out a new silhouette, Goodwill gives you a unique and sustainable way to embrace the season’s best trends!
