The Biggest Fashion Trends of 2019
Gone are the days of buying brand new. The resurgence of vintage and the rise of the resale marketplace, led by The RealReal and Vestiare Collective, as well as increased pressures on designers to manage waste output, have incited an industry-wide shifting of gears as we inch towards a new circular fashion economy. Here are the The Biggest Fashion Trends of 2019
Fashion trends 2019
- Blazers: The cool girl’s must-have item, the blazer is the styling staple every woman and man needs in their wardrobe. Whether borrowed from the boys for a boxy, oversized fit (think Vetements) or cinched at the waist (see Balenciaga), it’s no surprise The RealReal shoppers surfed the e-commerce site for blazers with a 161 per cent year on year growth because when it comes to blazers, one is never enough.
- Cardigans: Alexa Chung, Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, Jane Birkin – all spring to mind at the thought of cardigans. The classic-yet-cool throwback staple continues to prove itself a mainstay in 2019, so consider investing in one such version by Toteme or Loewe for trans-seasonal wear.
- Tie-Dye Believe it or not: one is never too old for tie-dye. For a fashion education, look no further than tie-dye masters Proenza Schouler and The Elder Statesman for the perfect schooling on how to incorporate tie-dye into your everyday style.
- Sheer: Is near nakedness in? So it appears. As per The RealReal’s report, a spike in consumer searches for sheer clothing took place in 2019. There’s no doubt Loewe, Fendi and Gucci had a role in this trend’s newfound popularity.
