Top 10 current favorite fashion trends

1. Platform Hightop Converse

These shoes can be bought in many different colors and designs. Some of them can even be bought with different embroidery designs on them. I have a pair of these shoes in white and I think they make a very good staple piece. These shoes can truly be worn with almost any outfit. I think they look cute dressed up with a dress or fancy outfit and they also look really cute dressed down with some leggings and a sweatshirt. These shoes are also very comfortable to walk around in. These shoes are very versatile and I totally recommend them.

2. Mom Jeans

Mom jeans come in all the typical jeans colors but are more comfortable than skinny jeans. These are jeans that are looser around the legs. They are super comfortable and are a good staple piece for your closet because they are a very versatile piece. They can be worn with a cute crop top and some converse or even a graphic tee with some mom jeans would make a cute outfit. There are many different brands that sell these types of jeans but wherever you get to buy your jeans I totally recommend trying out a pair of mom jeans.

3. Flare Leggings

Flair leggings are made and feel almost the same as your normal leggings. The difference is that the flair leggings fit tight from your waist to your knee and then the bottom of the pants flare out and are wide. The black flair leggings from Arie are very popular right now and I think they are very comfortable. These pants are also a good staple piece to wear with a crop top or even dress down with a sweatshirt. I think these are very comfortable to wear and it’s something different to wear rather than the traditional black leggings. Overall I totally recommend getting yourself a pair of these leggings.

4. Turtleneck/Layering

Turtleneck shirts have many ways that they can be worn. My favorite ways are under sweatshirts and dresses. Turtle necks under sweatshirts can really spice up a basic vintage crewneck. Turtle necks come in many different colors, so putting a colored crew neck under a basic sweatshirt would be an easy way to add some color to your outfit. Wearing a turtleneck shirt under a cute spring mini dress is super cute and it also allows you to wear your summer dresses year-round. Overall these shirts are a very good staple to spice up a basic outfit. 

5. Biker Shorts 

Biker shorts are a very popular thing to wear with a sporty outfit or one that you would go to the gym in. These are basically the texture of leggings except not as long because they are the length of shorts. These are very comfortable just like leggings and can be worn with almost any athleisure top. Especially worn with sweatshirts or oversized tees. This is a good spring/summertime go-to if you want a super cute and also comfy fit. 

6. Claw Clips

Claw clips are a very cute and easy way to put up your hair. They come in many different colors, shapes, and sizes. One way to do your hair with them is to pull all your hair back in a low pony, then flip the hair up towards the top of your head then put the clip in, and then if your hair is pretty long some hair will fall back down from the top of the clip. There are many other ways you can style them as well. These are a good thing to have with you for an easy way to get your hair out of your face.

7. Platform Sandals

Platform sandals have become very popular to wear especially through the spring and summer months. These shoes are cute to wear with a more dressed up outfit and dresses. Also a plus for short people because it gives some height. Steve Madden sells platform sandals and they are very comfortable and I totally recommend them. 

8. Layered Jewelry

Layered jewelry is a super cute way to spice up almost any outfit. Combining multiple simple pieces of jewelry makes them all look better than they typically would alone. One combo I have seen is gold chains paired with a simple necklace with maybe an initial on the end. Totally recommend if you want to change your jewelry look. 

9. Puffy Sleeves

Puffy sleeves are a fun and different style. They usually come with a basic color shirt and then some sleeves that puff out but are sometimes made out of sort of a spool material. They are pretty comfortable, but sometimes the spool is a little bit uncomfortable. Other than that I totally recommend 

10. Doc Martens

These boots are very popular but typically more in the winter season. These are also very comfortable shoes for walking around in. They are cute when worn with some mom jeans and a cute top. They can also be worn down with just some leggings and a sweatshirt. These shoes are a good staple for good comfortable shoes that can go with almost everything.
