2017 Fashion Clothing Trends

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.

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.

Jennifer Fisher

XL Root gold-plated earrings

Simplicity has never looked so damn good.

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.

Zara

Oversized Check Jacket

This '80s-inspired trend has serious staying power.

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.

Tibi

Stretch-Knit Bra Top

Wear yours over a button-down top.

Zara

V-Neck Top

We love the tie details.

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.

Rosetta Getty

Pleated Stripe Knit Skirt

Rainbow goodness, right this way.

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.

Comme des Garçons

Super Fluo Neon Leather Pouch

Perfect to throw your essentials in.

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.

J.Crew

Textured Cotton Sweater With Anchor Buttons

The perfect layering piece.

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.

Attico

Gabriela

And if you still haven't jumped on the dress-over-jeans trend, there's still time.

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.

Style Mafia

Marine Top

We love the exaggerated sleeves.

Avec Les Filles + Ruffled-Sleeve Top

Avec Les Filles

Ruffled-Sleeve Top

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.
