No matter the year, there are undeniable and monumental trends in the fashion industry. With 2017 underway, what is to come and what is being left in 2016?
1. Patches
This trend takes personalized fashion to the next level. Effect: May make you feel like Kurt Cobain or a laptop cover.
2. Flared jeans
According to the fashion industry, skinny jeans are on their way out and the flared, bell bottom jeans are returning to their rightful place of formal glory.
3. Slip dresses
An undoubtable ode to the wonder and greatness of the 1990s.
4. High necklines
The plunging deep "V"? Throw 'em out.
5. Backless shoes
Tall high heels are so out, and mule-styled, backless shoes are taking their place. And all women's feet and ankles rejoice.
6. Bold stripes
Vertical, horizontal, diagonal. Bring them all.
And last but certainly not least....
7. Confidence
While it's great to keep up with trends, wear whatever you want to wear, be yourself and serve the world some fiercely original realness.
