As the doors of 2018 closed, I’ve now taken it upon myself to pause and reflect as to what I want my 2019 wardrobe, vibe and outfit-style to be. While of course, no one is ever restricted to a certain trend(s), they are helpful to pave the way to a better and a more well-dressed ‘you’. But how would one be certain when a trend’s taken off? Well for instance, repeatedly seeing them on Instagram is usually the way it works now.
From the newest sneakers to hair accessories and prints, we’ve rounded up the coolest trends to keep note of, invest in and wear this year—because hey! You never know when you could be the next IG star.
Big Headbands
Inspired by the ’80s, stain and bejewelled headbands have been on just about every hairdresser, influencer and brand’s feed. We know that the fashion world loves taking inspiration from the older days, and reinventing those trends seems to have caught on. These large statement headbands are surely making a comeback in the best way!
Croc Print
The textured-croc effect has been full swing this time around. From handbags to shoes, this print will add a rich and classy touch to any look.
Platform Sneakers
If Alia Bhatt‘s worn this trend for all of 3 times already this year, you know it’s a matter of time before it catches on. A stylish step above from the ugly dad shoes of last year, these platform sneakers are will elevate not only your style but your height too!
Large Hair Bows
Another old-school way of accessorising, hair bows are becoming another favourite in the beauty space. Whether they’re actual big ribbons or bow scrunchies, slouched bows draped over the shoulder in all types of colours and prints will be your newest fashion accent.

Pearls are having a major moment in fashion. From jewellery to garment detailing, to headband accessories, these delicate gemstones have been spotted in all kind of shapes and sizes and are definitely worth the buy.
