To be in fashion, it means to be a step ahead of everybody else; to be sensitive to all of the up-and-coming, rising trends; to be creative in how to think outside the box with current and past trends and produce something previously unseen.

Designers in the fashion industry’s ‘Big Four’ cities (Paris, Milan, New York, London) are the pioneers in pushing boundaries on garment creation. However, let’s not forget that we, ourselves, are the designers and creators of our own style; and we can create unique looks that suit us and who we are as well.

As we embrace the new year, and we are T-minus one month before the frenzy of Fashion Week starts again, let’s draw inspiration from the it trends that made a mark on the runways. You’ll soon see these everywhere, so get inspired now and be ahead of the game!

Here are five fashion trends that we loved from the S/S 2019 runways:

1. Light and Breezy

Emphasis on ‘light’. Light, airy neutrals were all over the runways this season. Think shades of beige, khaki, off-white, and sand. Don’t be afraid to pair a few of them together, too — this spring, beige is the new black.

These colors were often seen adorning flowy, elegant pieces at the designer shows. This creates a soft look that’s perfect for the season.

Here’s a tip: to toughen up the softness of these pieces, be sure to pair your breezy, light pieces with edgy, chunky items.

2. Bike Shorts

We caught a glimpse of the bike shorts trend this past summer, but this S/S season, bike shorts are officially runway-approved and set to be one of the trendiest bottoms around.

The runway looks above prove that bike shorts are more than just an ’80s throwback trend; indeed they can be versatile enough to look even formal, when styled correctly.
