About this listen

In this Five Minute Friday, Samantha Conner continues our market conversation by diving into the actual product trends hitting trade show floors right now — and more importantly, how they apply across every retail category. From apparel to home + gift, children's, and even western, today's trends are crossing categories faster than ever.

You'll learn:

  • The bold color trends coming for 2026

  • The rise of faster trend cycles (every 8–10 weeks) and how to keep up without overbuying
  • How cost-per-wear and cost-per-use are driving smarter buying decisions

  • How pop culture moments are shaping what customers want next

  • Why quiet luxury is fading and maximalist, personality-driven style is back
