Fashion Month is officially over, and while we’re eager for what spring has in store, we’re also on trend overload after taking in the 2018 fall and winter collections.

With a bounty of fresh looks to get familiar with, we’ve boiled them down to our top five to make it easy on you. These trends are not only set to be huge in the coming seasons, they’re versatile enough to suit any body type and age. Let’s hear it for universal appeal! Ahead, see what’s in store.
