For most of us, a new year brings new resolutions, new aspirations or goals, or maybe just a fresh start. And in the ever–evolving world of fashion it’s no different. Each year brings new trends and styles from the runway that we can’t wait to flaunt. For 2018, all of the fashion weeks painted a clear picture of what we can expect to see in the months ahead. Let’s take a look at a few.
Luxe Beauties
Sheer Transparency
Cover up? No ma’am. Sheer apparel is carrying over from 2017 into 2018, and I couldn’t be happier! There’s no better way to embrace your curves and flaunt your confidence by playing peek-a-boo with your bare necessities.

Saturated Colors
Whether worn monochromatically or color blocked, saturated colors will be seen everywhere. Tom Ford, Carolina Herrera, and Marc Jacobs are just a few of the designers who showcased this trend at New York Fashion Week.
Tulle
You’ll see tulle on more than just tutus in 2018. Don’t be surprised if one of your gal pals sports an all tulle dress to your best friend’s wedding.
Mixed Prints
When it comes to mixed prints, there are no rules. Have fun mixing and matching your favorite prints to suit your own personal style. And Luxe Beauties, don’t listen to the negativity and those who say women with kurves shouldn’t wear prints. They have no say in what you put on YOUR body. Wear your prints proudly!
If you’re looking for more inspiration, this mixed print dress by Eloquii is a steal for $119.90.
Luxe Men
Loose Trousers
Gone is the tapered look (at least for 2018 it is.) Loose trousers will become a part of every man’s wardrobe this year as the “relaxed” look is in. Take a look at these wide balloon pants from ASOS; they’re only $40.00.
Minimalist Sneakers
Basic is better. Keep your shoe game on the less flashy side when you’re coordinating your outfit this year. Save the flair for a different garment of choice.
Bold Colors
As with the ladies, bold colors are in for the fellas as well. Add a pair of minimalist sneakers to any bold color to level out the playing field in your outfit.
Technical Jacket
Technical Jackets (Utility Jackets or Field Jackets) were featured trends showcased at all of the fashion weeks.
Raf Simons and Ovadia and Sons are just a couple of names that showcased this trend in their 2018 collections.
