Drumroll please!! Today I present to you my top 2019 fashion trends and how to wear them now! These fashion trends were first seen on the runway and, for better or for worse, we are starting to see these trends in stores now. And here are the top 2019 fashion trends in no particular order!
Hair accessories
And not just any hair accessories! Beautiful hair clips are starting to emerge and I couldn’t be any happier! They are a great way to make an otherwise simple outfit look so classy, timeless, and dressy simply by pulling the side of your hair back with a hair clip! So easy and effortless! In addition to hair clips, headbands have been making a huge comeback! I have been a fan of headbands (thank you Blair Waldorf!) but the headbands that are in style now are even better than before! Velvet and satin headbands are all the rage and I can see why! They look so timeless and the material is so gentle on your hair. Bows and ties are also everywhere, including in hair! I love a ponytail with a bow, it is such a classy and girly look!

Capes
Capes have always been in style and always will be in style because they are timeless but they are in fashion now more than ever! Capes are a great way to add an extra layer of warmth this time of year and they can also take the place of a coat. Love how versatile capes are, you can wear them with jeans and boots but you could also wear them with high waisted culottes and heels for the perfect chic yet comfy office outfit! Since capes have lasting power, I would turn to Ann Taylor, Loft, and Nordstrom to find a good quality cape that you can wear year after year!

A dress over pants
The jury is still out on this one! I have seen this look in some stores (I’m looking at you Club Monaco!) and I LOVE the way it looks on the models! This is such a chic look especially with solid colored clothes. And the best part is that you probably have a plain black dress and plain black pants in your closet right now as we speak so you can experiment with this trend without spending a penny! In case you don’t or you’re looking for some new pieces, below is a dress and pants that would be perfect for this trend and you could also wear these items separately!

Crochet
Crochet was all over the runways! We usually see crochet pop up during the summer time in the form of beach cover ups but crochet is starting to make an early appearance in stores in the form of beautiful crochet sweaters and cardigans! Delicate crochet trim details is also taking the place of lace trim details in camisoles and dresses.

Tie Dye
When I first saw tie dye hit the runways I couldn’t seem to shake the memory of making tie dye t-shirts in middle school! But then I looked around and found some really cute and wearable tie dye pieces in stores, I was shocked! I actually wear a pair of tie dye leggings to workout in and they are so cute and I get so many compliments on them! I can also see myself wearing a cute tie dye shirt with distressed shorts in the summer time for a cute and casual look! Since I don’t think tie dye will have staying power, I would turn to Forever21 and H&M to get this look for a great price!

Stars
I’m seeing stars, literally! There are a lot of clothing items that are coming out now, such as shoes, sweaters, and skirts that have stars on them. It is such a fun pattern and, coming from someone that doesn’t wear a lot of patterns, I am surprised at how much I love it! Below are some star items that I’m loving!

Colors of 2019
- Neon is very much on trend for 2019! I love neon, especially in the summer time, because it is so bright and cheerful! Actually, I take that back! I also love neon this time of year because everything is so dark and dull and neon is a great way to liven things up! Neon sneakers or a neon scarf is a great way to start wearing this trend now!
- Coral is also trending right now. A great way to incorporate coral into your wardrobe right now is with accessories, such as coral shoes or a bag with coral in it.
- Brown (all shades of brown) is very much on trend right now as well. I love brown because it is a neutral and goes with pretty much anything and everything! For an extra chic look, try wearing an entire outfit that is different shades of brown!

Animal Print
Animal print (mostly leopard and snakeskin) has been on trend for the past year and it is going stronger than ever! To be even more on trend, try wearing a pleated midi skirt (another hot trend!) that is animal print!

Utility Jumpsuits
Need I say more?! Jumpsuits in general are amazing! Love that a jumpsuit is a whole outfit because it’s so easy and effortless! The utility style is so chic and I love that you can wear a utility jumpsuit with heels for a chic street style look or you can wear it with white Converse sneakers for an everyday look or you can wear it with sandals! Such a versatile item!

Button Details
Buttons have been sneaking up on clothes towards the end of 2018! Buttons have been added to clothes where buttons don’t belong, such as on the shoulders of a sweater or down the front of a skirt. It is such a great design piece and makes an otherwise plain sweater that much more interesting and different! It is also nothing crazy so if you buy a sweater that has buttons on the shoulders then rest assured that you can wear that sweater year after year because although it is a trend that is popular right now it is not something that will look dated years from now!

Pleated Midi Skirts
Pleated skirts have been in style for over a year now but long pleated skirts are especially on trend right now! This is the perfect time of year to wear this trend because the length will keep you warm and you can wear over the knee boots with a long pleated skirt, sock booties (my personal favorite!), or high heel pumps! Pleated skirts are such an effortless way to look put together and stylish and they are perfect for the office! I love that you can wear a chunky sweater with a pleated skirt, a button down blouse, a lace cami, the possibilities are endless!

Paperbag pants
I’m so glad paperbag pants continue to be on trend because they are so comfortable and stylish! It feels like I’m wearing sweatpants because the waistband is not super tight and fitted like most pants! Paperbag pants usually come with a tie waist belt, which I absolutely love! I also love that you can wear them all year round and they are so versatile that you can wear them to the office, out to dinner, or out running errands. Whenever I don’t know the dress code I usually reach for a pair of paperbag pants because they look dressy but they can also look casual so you can’t go wrong!
