hi its abi yea im alive!
sooooo for the first blog post in 4 eva i have a pretty wavey round up of trend predictions for 2018!!
scrunchies will replace dad caps as the iconic throwback acessories
balenciaga may have actually done one good thing (forget about the triple S trainer flop) this year, and it was to feature scrunchies in their resort 2018 collection. already scrunchies are reappearing, and by 2018 looking like a mid 2000s primary schooler is what we'll all wanna be. if you want the look, try here from sportsgirl for $7.95, or if you want the real deal, here for $225 from balenciaga (this one comes with free shipping tho so...).
red (and hopefully purple) will replace orange as the "clout colour"
orange was the freshhh colour of 2017 but it won't last through 2018. red is already emerging in many streetwear brands (i can't find links but yall know) and i really hope purple gets a run too this year. purple hasn't been a big deal for a while now, and is getting slept on by literally every brand evER! @supreme make a royal purple collection pls. everyone imagine a purple camo bogo ... hire me already supreme
luxury (or at least high end) brands will make throwback collections
at least thats what everyone of us who didn't cop the LV murakimi bags of 2003. the 2000s are back- just look around at the glossy lips, huge hoops and velour floating around. the early noughties had some of the most iconic high fashion collections ever. this year, urban outfitters collaborated with juicy couture to create a collection which was a bit of a flop. the problem with it was it didn't have the throwback pieces people wanted- they tried too hard to reinvent themselves. don't do this. stick to the reason your brand was famous. a great example of iconic fashion staying relevant for decades is adidas originals. love or hate the superstars and stan smiths, we all know you own a pair.
the nike air max 97s are not just for the lads
in 2018, the nike air max 97s will hopefully break away from being the eshay shoe and become more wearable for those of us who aren't dripping in ralph lauren and swearing at our mums. the 97s are an iconic shoe- recognisable and unique, they will also add some kinda *eDGynEssS* to your outfit. while they are making a break out of parra station, i haven't purchased them yet, and wouldn't recommend getting them in white. INCASE YOU FEEL THE NIKE TN'S ARE READY TO LEAVE THE BUS STOP STABBING SCENE U ARE WRONG JUST A PSA
denim? gotta b new
if you're still wearing denim in 2018- lets hope its something new. i myself am a lover of denim, and am slightly depressed to say that levi's are not gonna be the most swanky look of '18. new(ish) brands like ksubi and neuw (NEUW iS MY FAVOURITE THEY'VE RUINED ME) are the future of denim. some of us are rejecting denim completely. toopoor (<3 u layla) has multiple pics of her clad in camo cargo pants. shame we cant all do that without looking like a suburban dad :/
gloss gloss gloss
we already see it... gloss is the new matte. glossy lips are an amazing look on anyone (peep fenty beauty) and tbh kylie is cancelled 2018- lip kits ain't cute. but hopefully the gloss won't stop at lips. glossy eyes are cute (not sure about comfortable and convenient, but cute). lancome has re-released a ton of their juicy shakers (retailing for about $38) and NARS has always had the iconic lipglosses.
soundcloud more like soundclout
thats right, and you already know it. gothboiclique (r.i.p peep) merch will make you the most hectic lookin around, but if you're more of an indie kid (go back to 2015), great bands like son lux, cigarettes after sex and even the one and only mac de marco are all still a solid aesthetic to obtain. maybe even make your own remixes of madonna and ice cube (u heard it here first xoxo).
i have nothing left to write but off the shoulder tops are OVER, a combination of music and art is hot (peep everything tyler the creator has ever done and chance the rappers album art) and statement sunnies that aren't clout goggles? y33t!
basically... if it looks like it would go on a cheeto packet... wear it
this was mostly a joke... i hope.
