Out with the old, in with the new! Interested in the magical art of tidying up your wardrobe? It’s time to cleanse yourself of last year’s trends and adapt to the latest styles taking over the season. We’ve compiled the ultimate guide for what items to leave in the past, and which to love in the new year.
LEAVE: Riding Boots
LOVE: Sock Booties
Balenciaga Jersey Knife Booties
We like those Balenciagas, "the ones that look like socks!" Cardi B isn’t the only one taking notice of Balenciaga’s iconic sock bootie. The versatile shoe effortlessly lengthens legs and add sophistication to any look.
LEAVE: Plain Fabrics
LOVE: Mixed Prints
Alice + Olivia Katz Sunburst Maxi Skirt
Live life on the wild side. One of spring’s most dominant trends is patchwork pattern mixing. Minimalism is taking a backseat as designers go loud and vibrant with colorful patchwork motifs. Gucci, Alice + Olivia, Tory Burch, and Marni are just a few brands mixing things up this season.
LEAVE: Bucket Bags
LOVE: Barrel Bags
Last year, bucket bags starred on most major catwalks and became a staple of 2018. Scaling down in size but never style, the barrel bag is a modern take on the mini bag. The duffle-shaped purse is this year’s must-have “it” bag to wear.
LEAVE: Gigantic Statement Rings
LOVE: Elegant Earrings
When it comes to jewelry, not all that glitters is bold. While bright colors resonate in the new year, some things are meant to be simple. Swap your oversized statement earrings for a classic, modern hoop or stud.
LEAVE: Skinny Frames
LOVE: Shield Glasses
Fendi Ribbons and Pearls Sunglasses
The world may not be ready to retire skinny frames, but the new shield sunglass trend is giving us second thoughts. Shield sunglasses are chic and irrevocably fearless, turning everyday outfits into an editorial-worthy photo op. The shades also offer more protection to fend off environmental elements and the sun.
