The best fashion trends of 2019

In this day and age, however, trends go out of style extremely quickly, so you have to make the most of them while they last, and that’s why we’re remembering some of the best trends the fashion industry has seen in 2019 so far.

2019 has been a busy year for fashion. There have been re-emergence of old trends such as velvet, double denim, and corduroy to completely new and innovative takes on high-end fashion. In this day and age, however, trends go out of style extremely quickly, so you have to make the most of them while they last, and that’s why we’re remembering some of the best trends the fashion industry has seen in 2019 so far.

80s Revival

A 2019 fashion trend that we love is a combination of all different trends, and that’s the 80s revival trend. Trends that we hated in the noughties have become some of the most loved once again, such as double denim, velvet, and corduroy. We could go on, but the list is endless! From handbags to dresses and even shoes, it seems that everything these days is being covered in crushed velvet. With celebrities like Kendall Jenner and Rita Ora rocking the velvet vibes, it’s no wonder why crushed velvet is one of the must-have fabrics in 2019. Vintage fashion in general been making a revival, but the trend that we’re glad is back is double denim. Whilst a controversial choice of styling, double denim gives off a cool, bad boy kind of look that people are becoming obsessed with.

Chunky Sneakers

Whilst this trend really took off back in 2018, it has not faded away; rather, the complete opposite, it is growing at a rapid speed! One of the reasons that this trend has picked up speed is the uniqueness that the sneakers exude. With the rise of social media celebrities, everyone is doing everything they can to stand out and embrace their individuality, and these sneakers help you to do just that. The popularity surrounding this style of sneaker is so immense that even the big fashion houses are getting on board with the style, with great examples such as the latest women’s Gucci sneakers. Since they are still so popular, it can be difficult to get your hands on this style of shoe, so make sure that you visit SSENSE to browse their range of women’s Gucci chunky sneakers, and also take a look at the other sneakers that they offer for women.

Neon

One of the true either love it or hate it trends of 2019 has been the, seemingly out of nowhere, the surge of neon-colored clothing and accessories. Making appearances on catwalks all around the world and notably in fashion capitals such as London, Paris, Milan and New York, the neon trend confidently conquered the high-end fashion world and made its way into stores all over the world. Whilst seemingly difficult to style, that hasn’t stopped neon from taking over the world, and the reason for this is the same reason that the chunky style sneaker has taken off, it’s all about the ability to stand out, and what better way to light up a room than wearing clothes that, well, look like they’re literally lighting up the room.

Nowadays fashion trends don’t seem to have the ability to last as long as they used to, but the trends that have been covered in this article have made such a huge impact on the year’s fashion that we hope they never fade away.
