The Top 5 Fashion Trends in 2017 to Look Out For

As we ring in the New Year, what better way to welcome 2017 than with new, updated fashion trends that should help you get all spiffy-looking and well-dressed. Or at least desperately try doing!

1. Pink is the new black.

Back in 2016, dressing up was all about going monochromatic. Donning a color from head-to-toe was all the rage. It was either all black or all camel. Remember when Kim Kardashian would be photographed by paparazzi dressed in all camel? In 2017 we’re saying bye bye bye to the subdued color and saying hello to a more upbeat and rosier pink.

2. Khakis are the new jeans.

Sure, denim will never go out of style, but this 2017, khakis will reign supreme. Get a structured pair for days at the office and a slouchy pair for casual days out with the squad. Go for a cleaner, cooler and fresher look with beige this season. This neutral color is hip and definitely easy to style any time of day.

3. Stripes galore.

We’ll see more of stripes next year according to New York Fashion Week’s Spring collection. Bigger and bolder, horizontal or vertical, be prepared to see more of this fashion staple on just about everything. From flared trousers, to sweaters and knitwear, stripes will be all the rage next year.

4. Step into platforms and reach new heights.

Let your Stan Smiths take a much needed breather and take out your platform shoes from the closet. Reach for new heights this 2017 as you strut in fashionable footwear that will be in season the whole year.

5. Statement earrings are the statement

They’ve been all the buzz last year, and this new year, statement earrings will still be a staple. Fashion gurus, stylists and celebrities all swear by this chic accessory that it would be too soon to let it go. Expect extravagant bling and bauble, some that even go past the shoulder.

Have a fashionable and stylish 2017, everyone!
