Trending styles
Western but make it personal

This month, buyers were searching for vintage Wranglers and western pieces that have been worn in for you. And the speed at which our Kacey Musgraves collaboration sold out suggests they’re not done with western styles yet. Make the trend your own by experimenting with turquoise jewelry, embroidered denim, cowboy boots and everything fringed.
The ‘70s revival

The trend cycle is always spinning and right now, it’s pieces from the ‘70s that shoppers are searching for. Crochet, suede, earth tones, wide-leg jeans, national park patches and bandanas are all helping to build outfits inspired by road trips down Route 66.
A polo for every outfit

Once the preserve of the golf course, the polo top is now a stylish staple. With its clean, classic silhouette, it’s easy to style up or down. Try it layered under knitwear, paired with midi skirts, or go all out and experiment with polo dresses.
Soccer style:

The World Cup is kicking off this summer and vintage match jerseys have become one of the most exciting finds – worn-in, storied, and almost impossible to replicate. Search for your favorite team’s merch on Depop.
Trends to watch
Regal purple:

The color of summer 2026 is a deep, royal, saturated purple that’s appeared everywhere from the Prada runway to Dua Lipa’s look for Cannes. This specific hue has rippled into popularity for purple’s sister shades with everything from vintage plum blazers to lilac slip dresses having a moment.
Oversized sunglasses:

The slim oval frame is being replaced as the go-to style by oversized, wide silhouettes from the early 2000s. The most authentic way to get the looks is by searching for vintage Y2K sunglasses in Depop. It's a small addition that changes your whole look.
