Five fashion trends to leave behind in 2019

1. Anything coral

1/5

As Pantone’s Colour of the Year for 2019, it was definitely a must-have and must-try. However, this shade isn’t as timeless as its 2020 counterpart (ICYMI, it’s classic blue). Ditch it, stat.

2. The leopard print silk skirt

French label Realisation Par made this so popular in 2018, it was seen on almost every fashion influencer and street-style star – see Leandra Medine of Man Repeller and French It girl Sabina Socol. High-street labels capitalised on this the following year, causing an absurd surge in the number of leopard print skirts available for sale. Unless you want to look like carbon copies of your neighbours, it belongs in the donation bin.

3. “Dad” sandals

Is that actually footwear, or an ankle brace? Nuff said.

4. Cycling shorts

Kim Kardashian may have made this trend all the rage, but we just can’t approve of a possible camel toe situation.

5. Ridiculously tiny bags

5/5

Yes, they are cute, and they add a touch of quirkiness to your outfit. But do you really need a Jacquemus Le Petit Chiquito bag that can probably only store a mint? Oh, and did we mention that it costs approximately $300?
