2019 is coming in with a bang—with the swearing in of a more diverse and female House of Representatives and Senate (and all their chic looks),
and with changes in the fashion-scape. From the shuttering of magazines to more designer musical-chairs, there are new labels, and an even stronger emphasis on social media in how we consume.
These changes also mean that how trends begin and spread is altering, and the route to how brands emerge is constantly developing. In light of all that, there are new trends to play with,
embrace, skip, abhor, or keep an eye on until you’re ready for them.
From the biker short to the cowboy boot, feathers, and tie-dye… See ten trends that are sparking our interest now.
1 Stoked Surfer Girl
You know her, you’ve seen her, maybe you are her—the girl in the Baja hoodie and the denim shorts, or the tie-dye tee and bucket hat, who looks so effortlessly cool. Channel her for Spring with just the right tie dye pieces. Calvin Klein “Jaws” tee, optional.

2 She Wears Short Shorts
There’s little doubt shorts are making a triumphant return—and you have options. For the girl who likes to flaunt it, there’s the classic hot pant—short shorts for those who have legs, and know how to use them. Styled with jackets or button-downs, it’s all about balance.

3 Cowgirl, Take Me Away
The cowboy boot made a grand entrance in 2018—perhaps it actually sauntered in with just the right amount of swagger. Either way, it’s here to stay, and we couldn’t be more pleased.

4 She Sells Seashells…
Instagram vacation #fomo has spread into real life, and designers can’t seem to get enough of crochet and seashells. Embrace your inner mermaid with clothing and accessories that leverage the best of life by the sea.

5 Le Biker Babe
Short option number two for the year ahead has proven to have more staying power than most would have predicted. The biker short—favored by Princess Diana in her heyday and Kim Kardashian on the regular—has officially hit the catwalks.
Styled with blazers and pumps, or your go-to chunky sneakers—this athleisure trend doesn’t seem to be going anywhere anytime soon. Rock it un-ironically…
6 Nothing to Hide
Self-proclaimed 4th-wave feminists like Emily Ratajkowski champion the idea of owning female sexuality by showing it off—and fashion houses are on board with the notion. From bustiers to fitted silhouettes from brands like Versace and Brock Collection, the message is clear: skin is in.
7 Light as a Feather…
With the not-so-subtle return of 1980s glamour (hello, bold shoulders and slouch boots) comes an emphasis on luxe accoutrement, including feathers. Embrace your #extra side and leave something floating in your wake after you make a proper entrance.

SHOP LIGHT AS A FEATH
There’s no quicker way to appear polished and pulled-together than with a good two or three-piece suit. And the options in suiting are only getting more varied. From skirt suits to prints and bold shades, there are so many ways to find your inner Power Woman.

9 The Simple Sandal
The barely-there sandal with just the right amount of height is the shoe of choice amongst the Insta-set. It’s the ideal way to keep all of those ’80s silhouettes, ruffles, and feathers ultra-modern.
