I'm a Fashion Expert—This Is Your Permission Slip to Buy These Wearable Trends
Let's be real. It can be overwhelming, at times, to seamlessly incorporate one or more of the latest trends into your closet. Many have found themselves coveting and then buying a trendy piece only to end up feeling like it is too "out there" and not organic to their personal style. As a result, the piece is simply too hard to mix and match with the usual rotation of looks, so it just sits there, and you're left regretting the purchase. As a fashion expert, I've become more and more equipped to avoid that frustrating scenario.
This season, there are a variety of trends that are super easy to pull off. One of my current go-tos is a great pair of cool moto boots. The style is pretty much a classic at this point. Plus, they can be worn with dresses, denim, skirts, and more. Another favorite pick right now is baggy denim. There are a plethora of roomy jeans styles that easily fit into any fashion aesthetic. Keep scrolling to check out seven wearable trends I recommend you try now.
1. Frilly Socks and Ballet Flats
Frilly socks paired with ballet flats are a balletcore-inspired trend that gives any look a whimsical yet pretty touch.
2. Baggy Jeans
Baggy jeans are everywhere this season and come in a variety of options to fit any personal style.
3. Moto Boots
Moto boots are an incredibly cool way to complete a look. Go low-key with leggings or jeans and elevated with a sleek dress.
These strappy moto boots go with everything from dresses to jeans.
This brown pair is a more affordable take on the popular Miu Miu boots.
4. Full Skirts
A full skirt immediately evokes a classic, romantic feel. Even the most basic tops and shoes feel instantly polished.
I would wear this black skirt with a classic T-shirt or button-down.
5. Distressed Brown Leather Jackets
Distressed brown leather jackets have been spotted on all of the most stylish celebrities and influencers this season. Wear one with everything from leggings to a printed dress.
I have a feeling this cool moto jacket will sell out quickly.
This faux-leather jacket has a bomber-style design.
6. Rosette Chokers
Rosettes have been popping up on all the runways. A choker adorned with a flower is a lovely way to incorporate the trend into your closet.
This is the exact rosette choker that Rose is wearing above with a white tee and jeans.
This budget-friendly flower choker is guaranteed to bring your look to the next level.
7. Bright Sneakers
Cool sneakers are being reached for more than any other shoe style at the moment. Opt for a fun, bright pair, ideally of the throwback variety.
These yellow sneakers are loved by It girls from Copenhagen to Los Angeles.
