It's officially 2019, and with a new year comes a whirlwind of new trends. In case you've missed it, fleece is no longer reserved just for camping trips, barrettes have graduated from the playgrounds to our everyday wear, and unsurprisingly enough, animal prints, specifically crocodile-embellished accessories, are your new neutral. Also, trending? Neutrals.
If you're hoping to incorporate some of these of-the-moment pieces into your daily wear, look no further. Whether you're on the hunt for the perfect 9-to-5 uniform that is stylish but won't raise eyebrows over in HR or you're getting a head start on your spring wedding dress looks, we've done the research to make 2019 the year you step out of your comfort zone and embrace your most stylish self yet. Scroll to shop some of our favorite pieces, by occasion, now.
Elevated Essentials
This year think outside of the box when it comes to your basics. Yes, you could buy another white tee and pair of skinny jeans, or you could replace it with a zebra jumper and a satin biased miniskirt. Both options are versatile, but only one option is going to turn heads. Bonus points if you top it off with an iridescent parka.
Off-Duty Picks
Sunday brunch, the farmers market, the laundromat, or whatever else your to-do-list brings calls for a comfortable outfit. While that could usually mean leggings and a sweatshirt, let us entice you with this Heidi Ruffle Maxi Dress layered with a sweater and paired with sneakers. Comfortable but far more stylish. If you must stick to a hoodie at least make it this one, okay?
RSVP-Worthy Looks
Whether you're searching for something to wear out on the town or are vowing to get ahead of your spring wedding dress shopping, the below pretty floral numbers, rhinestone-embellished accessories, and leather pants should do the trick.
Stylish 9-to-5 Pieces
You could view getting dresses for work as a necessary chore, or you could view it as an opportunity to have a bit of fun and incorporate your personal taste into your dress code. For us that means finding a flattering new blouse style that isn't your traditional button-down, opting for a leopard print pencil skirt, and incorporating fun jewelry that feels fresh. Mix and match your own favorites below.
