5 Trends To Keep Wearing This Year (and Next!)
I know everyone has their different opinion on trends and following them, but I happen to love them. I love spotting new trends, starting my own, forecasting trends, and of course styling them too. There are classic pieces that will never go out of style, but I love updating my wardrobe and trying new things. I don't think everyone should or needs to try every trend. I know I don't! But adding several trendy items to your wardrobe each season will really make your basics exciting. I will preach that your closet absolutely needs a balance between basics and on-trend pieces in order to have great style!
Do trends frequently change? Yes, definitely. But I can't imagine only sticking with items that are timeless - how boring! And often, trends stick around and un-trend themselves into mainstream style for years at a time. In that case, your trendy pieces move into more of your basics category for the next few seasons. Today, I've got five items that have been around for a few seasons and that I predict will be around for a few more. If you find any of these items that you love at a great price, snatch them up for now and for next fall and winter. You will definitely get some use out of them!
1. Ankle Boots - Ankle boots have been around for several years, but they won't be going anywhere. If anything they are getting more interesting and fun to style! There are so many styles, from lace-up to pull-on, but boots with buckles and cut-outs will definitely be hitting hard this year. I'm loving the peep-toe ankle boots for spring too!
2. Oversized Cardigans and Kimonos - This trend is not my husband's favorite, but I think it is one of mine. There is no denying the comfort factor of these cardigans, but they look great too. I would love to find the right lighter weight one for spring/summer, but be on the lookout for heavier ones on clearance. They will work great through the cold spells of spring and then you can pull them back out in the fall.
3. Faux Fur - You know how much I love fur, but don't worry about it disappearing next year. It will be back again in more colors and accessories. If you find the right fur vest or scarf, be sure to grab it. You can even wear it with the right tee this spring.
5. Leather Jackets/Leather Everything - Leather had a big year last year and it is sticking around. There are so many ways to incorporate it, but a leather moto jacket has become trendy this year. This type of jacket will go a long way for seasons to come, even if it isn't exactly a moto jacket.
There are items in my wardrobe that I will always love, whether they are on trend or not. Items like my denim jacket or the perfect striped tee will be sticking around as my classics, but style is so much more fun if you are open to new things! Consider adding one or more of these trends to your closet this year and see where it takes ya.

I just got a boyfriend cardigan and a pair of leopard flats. First leopard piece ever! Great post, good information!
ReplyDeleteThe dress is well cut and put together solidly. I will say that it is not the best quality of material, but it does not look cheap. Great purchase and price point, so I would buy again!

I have a fur vest, but the back is solid fabric. Would it look alright with a skirt like the pic above?
