A Millennial Looks at The Biggest AW18 Trends You Must Be Wearing - Edited

I might be slightly late to the party with this post, but I have recently discovered Edited - a fashion platform which analyses, predicts and explains trends in so much depth I could be lost in that website for hours. I wanted to delve into the AW18 trends to break down what you should keep your eye out for in your next shop.

Animal Print

(Magdafinefashion.com, 2018)



If you haven't seen any animal print in the shops then I'm afraid you've been living under a rock. Animal print is everywhere, and in my opinion is this seasons biggest trends. Zebra, leopard and snake print are dominating the highstreet as well as premium brands. You can go all out with the animal print, wearing printed trousers or knitwear - or you can keep it more lowkey with some animal print accessories: earrings scarves and bags.
Below are some of the retailers who feature the most animal print garments within their stores by product count.

Flared Trousers

. (Leaper, 2018)

The 70's called, they want their flares back! It's no secret that trends do a 360 and come back around ever so often. This may not seem a wearable trend to younger generations as we're used to super skinny everything, however it's a trend which I find quite chic. It adds a different silhouette to your outfit and can make someone who is possibly more straight in figure have a little more curve to their body - the desired hourglass look.

Pleated Skirts

. (Agorye et al., 2018

Pleated skirts are one of those items which are both practical and stylish. Many pleated skirts on the highstreet are midi and therefore more practical for the colder months. Pleated skirts can look elegant and classy or pretty damn cool depending on how you style them. I think they look best with a roll neck, some comfy heeled boots and a tonal jacket and bag. Again, comfy, practical and on trend.
