Fashion Trends in 2019

CEBU, Philippines — Being trendy is not as much going with the current trend as being one step ahead. We’re already starting another year, but that doesn’t mean it’s too late to take a shot at what will be in style next. And those who don’t have a sharp eye for fashion may only have to listen to the fashion gurus.

Amanda Krause, at www.thisisinsider.com, predicts certain trends to take off in the upcoming months. In fact, some of the forecasted styles have already hit store shelves:

“Popcorn” cardigans. Those that don’t already own one are at least probably aware of popcorn cardigans. Beginning towards the end of the past year, the style has already started to appear in retail and online stores. These sweaters, though, have nothing to do with actual popcorn. Instead, the name comes from the pronounced stitches on each cardigan, which often resemble the salty snack.

Sequin jumpsuits. These are expected to soon start trending as well. Especially in the cold months, sparkly mini-dresses aren’t always ideal for holiday parties. But into the current year, retailers are sure to offer more options that are equal parts festive and practical. The style will be a go-to party look in 2019.

Silk and satin tops. After being extremely popular in the early 2000s, silk and satin tops quickly faded out of fashion. Luckily for fans of the style, the shiny garments appear to be making a 2019 comeback. Commonly sold in the form of camisoles, silk and satin tops are made from expensive, high-quality fabrics, so luxury retailers currently appear to have the largest selections.

Knit pleated skirts. Shoppers can also expect to see tons of knit pleated skirts this year. 2019 fashion appears to focus on balancing style and comfort, which knit pleated skirts encapsulate perfectly.

Faux-leather earrings. Fashion trends also come in the way of accessories. Faux-leather earrings are expected to grow into a bigger trend this year. All the more, the popularity of faux-leather fabric will continue. After celebrities and consumers have consistently made cases for eco-friendly fashion, many designers have entirely turned away from animal products.
