Hello Oracles! There will be a new segment talking about fashion and trends. Here at Parnassus we have noticed that there is a lot of talk around music, news, school events, and nothing around fashion trends. So I have taken it upon myself to start writing about these things. I have made the decision in my own life that 2026 is going to be the year of fashion. A good way to find your own personal style is by looking into past and present trends and seeing not only what fits the clothes you already have but also influences the items you will be purchasing in the future. 

Now let’s move on to the trends that are most apparent right now. First is low to mid rise jeans, I see these heavily coming back this year and gaining more popularity. There is already a big switch in stores and you see that they are moving away from just high rise. There is now quite a good range from high, to mid, to low rise jeans. And the jeans that are featured the most are low rise. Low rise jeans became popular in the early 2000s and the competition to see who could wear the lowest was very popular among young female celebrities at the time. You think of Britany Spears and Paris Hilton, the two who arguably wore the lowest. They say what goes around comes around and these jeans are a prime example.
