This Is Officially Going to Be the Biggest Trend of 2019

Spring trends are typically filled with the usual suspects—florals, pastels, a romantic dress style or two—so when we saw this fresh trend infiltrate the runways during fashion week, we were shocked and thrilled and all other kinds of excited. The trend we speak of can best be described as California-inspired, chill, and insanely cool. Designers sent out looks containing pieces we haven't seen circle the trend circuit for quite some time, including tie-dye, board shorts, wetsuits, beat-up sneakers, shell jewelry, and flip-flops. If the combination of those items doesn't instantly make you think of California, we don't know what will.

Wondering how to get the look? That's where we come in. Ahead, you'll see some of our favorite California-cool runway looks that we feel best embody this exciting new spring trend, plus the shopping picks you'll need to get your beachy wardrobe going. Considering there are dozens of ways to incorporate this chill-vibey style into your wardrobe, we know it will be a trend that's going to forcefully take over the sartorial scene—and we can't wait. For now, sit back, relax, and enjoy the Golden State fashion we're ready to cop in 2019.

Style Tip: When wearing a piece that really leans into this new 2019 trend, keep everything else minimal. Simple flats and a few accessories are what will make your look really pop.

Style Tip: Is this look not the definition of chill? A loose tie-dye shirt, utility track pants, and sandals are probably going to become our 2019 uniform. The slight heel in this particular look makes the outfit feel a bit more fresh, but we won't judge you for wearing flip-flops instead.
