The S/S 18 runways presented an overwhelming amount of jaw-droppingly chic trends. From sequins to sportswear, our favorite looks have been reinvented, and now that the New Year is almost here, we can hardly contain our excitement. This season in particular, beautiful pastels—from soft pink to baby blue—were in plentiful supply. But there one shade in particular that really caught our eye…
We’re calling it: Lavender will be one of the statement trends of 2018. And we’re definitely ready to set our Millennial Pink aside to make room for the new It shade. Tom Ford, Victoria Beckham, and Tibi all featured their pale purple pieces in the forefront of their collections, and for good reason: Lavender creates a chic contrast with denim and can easily be worn with a bold lip. To prepare you, we’ve rounded up the essential lavender pieces from high-end designers all the way down to your favorite fast-fashion lines.
