Just a few days ago, we waved goodbye to 2018, a year that – in terms of fashion – surely set itself apart from the previous years. 2018 showed us that “something borrowed” can really make the difference in your marriage to style. From bright, eccentric colors to roaring prints, 2018’s throwback-oriented trends made a statement to be remembered.

Now that we’re in 2019, everybody is waiting to see if their new year’s resolutions will last, while us fashionistas are sitting on the edges of our chairs to see if our closets will be up to date with the latest trends! To help you get a head start, I’m showing you how to get the 2019 versions of 2018’s hottest looks. (Later today, we’ll have another article showing you exactly how to wear 2019’s hottest looks, so stay tuned.)

So let’s get to it! Below, I’ll compare and contrast last year’s looks with this year’s updates. Here’s to a very stylish new year!
