With 2018 on the rise, I think that it is important for us to acknowledge what we should work on bringing to the table this year, rather than what we're leaving behind in 2017.

What better way to do this than to bring back some of the most popular trends from our childhoods?

Here are the 6 trends that should definitely make a comeback in 2018.

1. Track suits

Let's be honest: Juicy Couture track suit sets were iconic. You can't say that you don't miss walking into a room wearing your favorite hot pink set, with the bling on the back of the hoodie, and feeling like an elementary-aged Paris Hilton. It was fabulous, you were fabulous. This is the mood we need to start 2018 off right.

2. Platforms

Every shoe should be made with a platform, it's that simple. First of all, they look so much cuter with the added height. Second, you get that "high" look without breaking your neck walking in heels. Lastly, they are the comfiest kind of going out shoes you'll ever wear. Trust me, you're gonna want at least 16 pairs.

3. Hoop earrings

If you want to really be feelin' yourself, hoop earrings are an essential. They are such a simple accessory, but somehow make a larger appearance than a sparkly pair of diamond studs. Remember, 2018 is nothing but 201 with a pair of hoop earrings connecting to make that 8... it is a sign from the universe. Bring. Them. Back.

4. Bedazzled everything

I am more and more surprised that this trend hasn't made a larger comeback already, especially with everyone seeking out "the glow" that is gonna make them pop! I miss the days that every item of clothing in stores featured a ridiculous amount of sequins, rhinestones and glitter. Nothing would make 2018 brighter than the comeback of these flashy pieces.

5. Socks and sandals

"Socks and sandals will never happen!" Oh 2018, how you will finally prove me right. There is nothing wrong with wearing socks and sandals. If anything, this idea is almost too genius to grasp. Why go through all the trouble of tying shoes and inconveniencing yourself after a long, tiring day when you want to do nothing but kick them off? The sock and sandal duo allow for easy removal of shoes, keep your feet warm and show off your super cool mismatched socks. Where is the loss in that?

6. Lip gloss

2017 was the year of the matte lip. And while I do enjoy a nice matte lip, something has been missing from my life. Lil Mama said it herself, "...my lip gloss is poppin' my lip gloss is cool." The answer has been in front of us all along: lip gloss needs to make a comeback pronto. Blind the haters with that shine all throughout 2018.
