17 Fashions Trends that rocked in the year 2017? Let’s take a look.
Hi there, Welcome to 2018! Yes, we are 6 days into another year but it’s not too late to say welcome. I hope we’re all making the best of our time and setting realistic long and short term goals.
At the start of every year, I make a list of the major Fashion Trends from the previous year. I started this category when I began my blogging journey and I decided to stick with it. You can read the previous ones, here and here.
This year, I’m dividing the trends into sections for easy navigation. I’ll also be sharing the trends I styled personally and my favourite looks from your favourite style influencers.
LET’S GET STARTED,
Disclaimer: This post contains more pictures than words so be prepared.
CLOTHING
In 2017, clothing items from the 70s, 80s and especially the 90’s made a huge comeback. Here are some of them;
- Mom jeans
Casj #OOTD featuring Mabeli Inspired Ankara Bucket bag
- Bell Bottoms
Bringing Back the 70’s: Styling Bell Bottoms and Boot-Cut Pants.
- Bell Sleeve Tops and Dresses
20 Months of Fashion Blogging so far…
- Plaid coats and jackets
2017 Fashion Trends also featured a ton of creativity, edginess and colourful vibes.
- Handpainted denim
- Floral Embroidery
- Applique and patches
- Fishnets underneath Denim
INNERWEAR AS OUTERWEAR
- Slip dresses
-
Corsets layered over shirts
NIGHTWEAR AS DAY WEAR
- Pajamas and Night Robes
ACCESSORIES
Still on the 90s…
- Retro Sunglasses
In my opinion, these white Kurt Cobain oval shaped sunglasses were one of the most worn eyewear pieces of 2017.
-
Fanny Packs
-
Beret

-
Woven Straw and Bamboo bags
This was one of my favourites. Funny how the trend spread like wildfire. It doesn’t seem like it’s going anywhere though.
FOOTWEAR
- Mules
It’s funny how I still don’t own a pair of mules yet they keep moving on the trend ladder.
- Low Block Heeled Shoes
There you have it guys, a round up of 17 trends that rocked in 2017.
I understand that we had so many other trends yet these are the ones that were practically on my radar. Feel free to mention the ones I omitted.

I’m not a trends person at all! But I’m really looking into it this year. I love gingham. But I’m not even sure if it was 2017 or 2016. Lol. I’m always late to the party.

I’m with you on not following trends. Gingham is a classic but it also made a comeback in 2017. Thanks for stopping by Ella. Hope you return again ☺

Woooh…This is so huge
You sure did a cool job writing on 2017 trends.
I love them all, I’m not so sure I’ll want to rock all.
Fishnets, underwear as outwear and PJs trend need a certain level of confidence and swag to rock effortlessly or else you will look mehh.
Retro glasses trend?! I disliked the Kurt Cobain glasses, maybe because every dog and their grandma has it or maybe because it didn’t fit me😂😂
Beret trend is also cool oo but I can’t get over beret and secondary school memories yet. This year, I only had the opportunity of rocking the bell Sleeved trend and I enjoyed it.
For trends that need to go, embroidery (am so tired of seeing that rose flower design), PJs trend and corset over shirt. I really need a mom jean, one as baggy as that of Grace Alex and a hand painted denim jacket😭😭😭 (Oh Lord, send my helper to this comment).
I’m looking forward to seeing more of the trend styled in 2018. Also anticipating new trends from the year too. I’m not a sucker for wearing trendy pieces but I love trends, Trends are the evidence of the evolution of fashion… How to to rock the trend, that’s where style comes in.
Another thing I didn’t answer?? No? OK bye!😝😝

Hey babes I love this comment! I’m so framing it hahaha!!! I absolutely agree that some trends require confidence to slay in them. I see I’m not the only one who dislikes the Cobain Inspired glasses, they were just so everywhere like ugh! 😒😒
The floral thingy gotta go too. Go hunting for mom Jeans and you’ll definitely find a good pair.
I really want hand painted denim too and I’m hoping to cop one this year.
Babes you’ve said it all abeg!

I really enjoyed reading this! I’m currently obsessed with bell sleeves, I love them cos they are a fun way to make a simple outfit dramatic. Most of the clothes I made last year had bell sleeves. That’s the only trend I rocked from this list. I’m not big into trends and truth be told, I’m not sure I can pull most of them off. I’m better off just sticking with classics. Again, nice post👍

Bell sleeves/bottoms, fanny packs, mules! Omg mules were tots my fave. I think the only trend I wasn’t too big in was the beret one, never had a reason to wear them before so they always turned out looking weird on me. Thanks for the feature babe 😘😘😘

A well rounded post girl, thanks for the features. I hated the fannypack trend and I hope it stays in 2017. As for trends I loved, I hope to see more flared sleeves, gingham in 2018. Love the straw bags too but maybe it’s a little to overexposed.

Mom jeans. Heck yeah. So glad mom jeans are back in. I feel totally sexy in mom jeans. But definitely not like a mom. If the purpose of “mom jeans” is to make you feel like a mom, they’re not doing their job
