How to style the biggest trends for Winter 2018/2019

We’ve scanned the catwalks and selected the most relevant trends for this season and included some easy tips and tricks so you can rock them all winter long. You’re welcome.

1) YEE-HAW!

Apparently the wild west is more alive then ever. As seen on the runway of designers like Isabel Marant and Chloe, among many others, the cowboy-style seems to be everywhere. From shirts with leather and denim detailing to garments with plenty of fringy accents, even Dior’s hit Saddle bag from the late 90’s made a comeback. For this winter don’t be afraid to include corduroy or fringy accents to your looks, just a simple touch will instantly update your outfit.

2) NEON

The 80s revival has been all over Fall Winter 2018 runway shows. From designers like Prada, Saint Laurent and Moschino, we have seen that power suiting, strong shoulders, bold prints and sequins are definitely here. One of the most signature 80s look is a tribute to the David Bowie days: Neon. Bold shades like slime-green, bright yellow, orange and fuchsias have been worn as either statement pieces or as a full-on ensemble. Neon sweaters are a great way to insert the trend into your wardrobe this season, while still making it appropriate for work or school. Pair it with black jeans and booties for a chic outfit.

3) STRONG SHOULDERS

              As we travel through the 80s this season, strong shoulders in all of its glory couldn’t be left out. We’re talking all kinds of shoulder pad drama: padded, dropped lower for an oversized look, gathered or with round edges.  This retro staple refreshes all kinds of jackets and points us in the direction of power suiting, with head-to-toe tailoring as the current reboot. For a daily-life appropriate ensemble, try mixing a bolder blazer with a simple jeans and tee combo for instant sophistication.

4) CHECKS

Cher from Clueless would be proud. 90’s style checks are big on the runways this season, with bold colours and tailored silhouettes. Although we’ll see it more often on blazers and trousers, the print has been showing up in crop tops and breezy skirts. For a more understated look pick one statement piece and mix it with neutrals like black or grey, for a modern twist style it with florals.

5) RAWR!

Much like the animal kingdom itself, Animal print has been seen in all its diversity during Fall Winter 2018 fashion week. From Tom Ford to Balenciaga, we’ve spotted hundreds of different interpretations of the trend, the bolder and brighter to the more understated. This particular print may seem a bit daunting, but if styled correctly it makes for a modern and sophisticated look. For a subtle nod to the trend, style animal print bottoms with a chunky sweater or sleek blazer. If you want to go all out, opt for a dress with booties or a full on cheetah coat.
