Fall 2018-2019 fashion trends, 4 must-have types

You know the look. It’s the classic structured blazer, pencil skirt and feminine blouse–think
Cosmo editor Helen Gurley Brown’s “lady boss” look although edgier and younger! Some runways for
fall showed classic skirt and pants suits teamed up with simple white tank tops that resemble
classic men’s sleeveless undershirts. Any “girl boss” needs to have a large and “serious”
shoulder or satchel bag to complete her look, especially one from of the status brands. Bags
with large flashy logos seem to fit with this look more than any other.

This trend seems to not ever die for long because everyone loves soft fabrics and overall
comfort. This is most definitely an evolving part of the fashion industry as new high tech yet
soft ‘n comfy materials are invented every year. “Athleisure wear” means looks that work on the
street or in the gym and respond well in terms of movement and being anti-sweat. You’ll see
plenty of the stripes and other motifs borrowed from professional sport jerseys. Some NYFW
designers teamed athleisure wear with high-heeled footwear on their runways, but beware of doing
this in real life or you may wind up looking like a background dancer in an 80s Madonna video!

Many chic ladies are grateful for this pre-fall trend because it means the return of cowboy
boots, possibly the most comfortable footwear on the planet! There are also plenty of frilly
dresses, embroidered cowboy shirts and fringy tops that walk the line between country superstar
and hippie! Unsurprisingly, this trend also incorporates a lot of denim, whether it is a jean
skirts and jackets or classic Levi’s 501’s!

Animal patterns seem to be a strong trend every few seasons and it is a trend that dates back
70s years. No trend seems quite as enduring. This time around, the big cat prints like cheetah,
tiger and leopard seem to be domineering and you can see these patterns on everything from
dresses to accessories. It seems that there cannot be too much and some major designers even
mixed big cat prints in their fall runway shows. It’s a bold look; so if you are uncomfortable,
start out with a small touch like a cross body bag or leopard print leather cuff bracelet.
