STYLE

We’re *so* excited about all the awesome fashion trends coming up in 2017—from fun floral prints to comfy puffer jackets, there’s going to be a trend for everyone. Some you may have seen before while some are brand new, but all are sure to be huge. Here are a few of our favorites that’ll be popping up in the winter and early spring, as well as our pro tips on how to style ‘em.

1. Garden party prints

This pretty trend was seen *all* over the runway at New York Fashion Week. Many designers utilized the combination of elegant white lace and gorgeous, uplifting floral prints, which will be a classic go-to come spring 2017. How to wear it: Sport a floral frock to your next outdoor party in spring.

2. Khaki & neutral hues

Look out for beige tones, especially with the stunning trench silhouette, in the early winter. How to wear it: Style a camel trench coat or peacoat over your favorite blouse and pants or a formal dress for a super chic, totally classy look.

3. Pins ‘n’ patches

We’re in *love* with this stylish, edgy trend that has been blowing up on Tumblr & Pinterest! Pins and patches are available in all sorts of styles, from feminist graphics to super cute embroidered fruits, you’ll be able to find a set that matches your style perfectly. How to wear it: Grab a couple pins and/or patches (try Etsy for some super cute, unique ones) and sew/iron/pin ‘em onto your fave denim jacket.

4. Peek-a-boo shouldered dresses

Designer Han Chong created a line of stylish peek-a-boo dresses which are now #confirmed as a spring and summer 2017 trend. We love this chic look encompassing gorgeous, unique black lace and some cute stripes. How to wear it: Try out a cute peekaboo shoulder top with your favorite pencil skirt, or just throw on a dress with shoulder cut-outs.

5. Puffer jackets

In the early months of 2017, you’re going to need something warm to sport that still looks cute. Our pick? These super comfy, stylish puffer jackets that are available in all sorts of colors and styles. How to wear it: Try a metallic or black puffer jacket over your favorite outfit to keep you nice and warm. Not into the puffy-all-over look? Try a puffer vest over your fave cozy sweater.

6. Ruffles

Ruffles don’t have to make you like Toddlers and Tiaras-esque—they can be super classy if you style ‘em right. How to wear it: Try an outfit with small accents of ruffles, rather than a dress or skirt which has ruffles all over.

7. Sneaks

The sneaker trend is expected to reign on throughout 2017. This works out perfectly, because there’s a perfect pair of sneaks out there for everyone. How to wear it: Throw on a pair with any casual outfit for a laid-back look, or dress down a frock for a streetwear vibe.

8. Artistic prints

Bold artistic prints, particularly with some abstract watercolor brush strokes and colorful motifs, will be making an appearance in 2017. This is a great way to express your personal style and make your mark. How to wear it: Try out a bright printed blazer and a matching skirt with a cute complimentary blouse for a stylish, vibrant look.
