5 Fashion Statements That Are So Last Year (And What to Wear Instead!)

It seems like just yesterday we were wearing lace-up pants, floral appliques and thong jeans. Oh, that’s right… It was just last year in 2017 when these weird fashion trends reached their peak. Let’s take a blast to the past and see what we’re not bringing into your fall and winter fashion ensembles.

Tacky Cutouts

First things first, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with a chic cutout top. Those are very-much-so still on trend. However, it’s time to leave those tacky cutouts in the past; you know, the kind of tops that have cutouts where cutouts shouldn’t never be? Yeah, those.

There's no denying that twisted tops are all the rage this fall and winter, and the fashion trend isn't going away as we prepare for 2019. So, stock up ladies and retail stores (Yup, we are a wholesale fashion supplier as well). 

Plastic Chokers

Chokers had their moment…. In the 90s, and they did quite well in the 2017 fashion trends as well. But here’s the secret – the choker necklaces that look like they’re from the 90s should have never been allowed in 2017. You know, the kind of chokers with twisted plastic that shrinks into a ball when you take it off? Yes, those!

2018 Fashion Trend Alternative

Chic and elegant chokers that have some style are the perfect fashion trend alternative - and they don't look cheap!

Choker Tops

Speaking of chokers, might as well leave the choker tops in the past as well. These tops were similar to the tacky cutouts; only they cut out all fabric from your collarbone to just above your elbow, leaving a piece of fabric around your neck and an off-the-shoulder top.

Choker tops or cold-shoulder shirts that don’t leave choke your style are super trendy for fall and winter fashion.

Floral Appliques

Everyone loves a good floral applique, right? Wrong! Maybe in 2017 but we’re in 2018 now and the appliques have to go.

2018 Fashion Trend Alternative

Floral print. Just stick with floral print. If you're not a fan of floral, plaid is a trending print for fall.

Lace-Up Pants

The only time lace-up pants are okay is if you’re in a Christina Aguilera music video. Other than that, just say no.

Lace-up is still super haute, just not on pants. It simply gives off a look that’s more trashy than classy, which is rarely a look you want to go with. That is… Unless you’re in a Christina Aguilera music video, of course.

 Lace-up sweaters are still chic!

Duvet Ponchos

Not sure what a duvet poncho is? Go upstairs, grab the blanket off your bed, cut a hole in the center and put it on. Alas, now you have a duvet poncho. As you will be able to see, there’s nothing boho chic about this look – at least not for 2018.

Slim, slightly-fitted ponchos. Not a fan? Kimonos are another excellent alternative for fall and winter fashion.

Now, don’t go living in the past. These fashion trends haven’t been brought into the 2018 and more importantly, the 2018 fashion that is trending is so much chicer.
