THE 2019 STYLE RESOLUTIONS
New Year, New Trends, New Looks, New You.
It’s that time of year again where we find ourselves vowing to anyone we meet about the “changes” we’re going to make for the coming year. To be honest, if it’s about wanting to renew that gym membership, kick your sugar habit or take on a new project at work, we don’t really want to hear about it - we’ve heard it all before.
The only 2019 resolutions we’re interested in hearing about are your Style Resolutions, which you certainly can’t break if you follow our homegrown shopping guide to keeping up with this year’s trends. No shipping or travel needed - we’ve curated an easy-to-buy list with all the designers available right here at our flagship store. Happy New Year! You’re Welcome!
OVERSIZED RUFFLES
IDMA-NOF
Go big or go home with ruffles this year! In order to not look like you’ve been completely swallowed whole by a rolls of fabric, it’s important to show a little leg so we know you’re still in there.
FLUROSCENT LACE
ITUEN BASI
The neon trend is here to stay! Zingy shades of lime, lemon, tangerine and fuchsia were evident at all four cities (revert to our SS19 fashion report). Keep it feminine by purchasing these punchy colors in lace.
METALLIC SUITING
LANRE DA SILVA
The suit is a wardrobe classic that reoccurs on the catwalks year after year. 2019’s take on the style is bold and bright - it’s the 90’s power suit meet space age metallics and available in an array of colours as perfectly shown at Lanre’s SS19 show.
FLORAL MASH UP
LISA FOLAWIYO
Sure, you could mix and match floral patterns on your own, but this 2019 trend does the work for you. You need look no further than our very own print mixologist Lisa Folawiyo to absolutely nail this look.
TRIBAL FRINGING
IAMISGO
Here, there and everywhere - the fringe trend is back and its had a tribal makeover. What better way to enhance your shaku shaku or gwara gwara when shaking your hips this season.
BIRDS OF A FEATHER
TIFFANY AMBER
Is it your time to soar? Runways from Celine to Saint Laurent are giving you wings—or at least feathers. Don’t just stop with dresses; earrings, handbags and hats were also feathered up so you can put your best peacock foot forward.
MUTED TONES
ILARE
Beige is anything but boring this New Year with the big fashion houses from Balmain to Christian Dior offering up head to toe looks of demure sophistication.
