7 Most Wearable Trends For Fall/Winter 2018/19 & How To Style Them For Daily Life

New trends always look spectacular on the runway, but introducing them into your own wardrobe can often be challenging. Here’s our round up of 7 most prominent fall/winter trends and outfit inspiration to show how you can play down on the extravaganza and incorporate them into your day-to-day rotation for the colder months.

Animal Print

The animal print is back in a big way for this fall/winter 2018/19 season. You can keep it low-key and opt for a printed top or accessories, or go full on with the trend and get a coat in an animal print. Sure, there are classic leopard coats, but you can also go for even more spectacular versions of the animal print, such as tiger or zebra patterns. When going with the animal print, it’s better to play it safe and keep the rest of your outfit pared-down and monochrome. Otherwise, get loud with your outfit and make it busier, taking cues from the catwalks. In particular, you can mix and match your leopard with another print, or opt for the animal print in the eye-catching neon color.
