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,

CLOTHING 

In 2017, clothing items from the 70s, 80s and especially the 90’s made a huge comeback. Here are some of them;

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.

  • 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.

  2. 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!😝😝

    1. 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!
      What’s your IG handle, let me know if I follow you already.
      Thanks for commenting. Means a ton!!!

          2. I tell you Mom jeans are definitely going to be a staple for me. I’ll send you a couple of Online stores on Instagram or you could just go thrifting yourself so you can get it cheaper and have the chance to see what you are buying before paying, Thanks for reading and leaving a comment.

  4. 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👍

  5. 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 😘😘😘

  7. I am so sticking to mum jean and beret trend. I plan to try gingham and plaid this year tho. Talking about Cobain, I think it suit some people and it doesn’t for some. Thanks for the feature💕

  9. I’m so in love with this post. Funny how I never owned any in 2017 😅 but I’m so stocking up most of this now except for the fannypacks though, can’t see myself wearing it as a fashion staple.

  24. 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
