8 Trends That Aren't Going Away Anytime Soon
The year so far has been choc-a-bloc full of fun trends. We've had the statement sleeves, we've had all the gingham, and we've had a whole lotta red—you get the picture. And though we’re not ready to let a lot of these standout pieces go, we are ready to re-evalute our wardrobes and see how these trends are going to evolve when summer turns to autumn. You can never be too prepared. From the jewellery piece du jour to the colour we'll all still be wearing, there’s something for everyone.
Scroll down to see your favourite trends that are here to stay - and shop them too.
Statement Earrings
S/S 17 Runway: Loewe
The bold earring is evolving. This autumn, its all about taking it back to basics with a statement gold or silver shape.
Boxy Shoulders
S/S 17 Runway: Balenciaga
Thanks to exciting collections like Balenciaga, the square shoulder is perhaps the coolest silhouette for 2017. The approachable way to pull it off would be with a cool cropped jacket or blazer.
Bustiers
S/S 17 Runway: Tibi
Some people doubted if this would catch on - they've been proved wrong. The easiest way to wear a corset is to layer it over a thin piece, like a shirt or button-down.
Loud Stripes
S/S 17 Runway: Proenza Schouler
Though stripes never really go out of style, the print is making a particular splash this year.
Neon
S/S 17 Runway: Alexander Wang
Though there are some designers who are always drawn to neon shades (we're lookin' at you, Christopher Kane), these hues will be electrifying your wardrobe for months to come.
Pink
S/S 17 Runway: Céline
It's the gift that keeps on giving. Whether your style is feminine or leans more toward the masculine side, there's a piece for everyone.
Robes
S/S 17 Runway: Band of Outsiders
We called this one a while ago: Robe coats are the cool girl's answer to a stuffy peacoat. Try yours for day with a blazer and skirt, or at night with a slip dress and heels.
Statement Sleeves
S/S 17 Runway: Ellery
Statement sleeves ain't going anywhere. Thank goodness. They're the easiest way to make a...well, statement.
Go for the unexpected by wearing it under a sleek slip dress, or pair it with jeans in a darker wash for a casual weekend look.
Now that you're up to date on the trends, check out the key pieces that will never, ever go out of fashion.
