2016 is right around the corner and
that means wardrobe and style changes for the New Year! This year zulily.com tapped their in-house trend &
fashion expert Claire Magruder to take a look at some of the most popular
selling items from the past year to craft a few professional predictions for
what everyone’s going to be wearing (and shopping!) for the year ahead.
A few trends that had a big year in
2015:
· Tunics – This style dates back to the
Roman Empire but it’s never been more popular! In fact, zulily sales show that
tunics outsold denim items in general by almost 1750%!
· Denim – Speaking of denim, it is one of
the most classic, All-American items in your closet and seems to be a winner
every year. Some of the top selling denim and chambray items on zulily in 2015
were jean jackets, skirts and dresses.
· Seersucker – This fabric isn’t just for your
husband’s summer suit anymore! Women’s dresses outsold menswear in this classic,
Southern summer print and maternity wear made up 41% of all seersucker purchases
on zulily this year.
A few trends to watch out for in
2016:
· Sequins – Everyone loves a fun sequined
number for New Year’s Eve, but this trend is looking to expand to year-round in
2016! Mix business with pleasure next year by incorporating a tailored, sequined
pencil skirt into your wardrobe.
· A-Line Skirts – Your grandma wore them, your mom
wore them, and you’ll be wearing them in 2016! This hemline is flattering and
provides a sophisticated, polished look – this style will definitely continue to
dominate in the coming year.
· Suede – In 2015, fashion from the ’70s
saw a resurgence as flare jeans were all over the streets. 2016 will see this
trend continue with an increase in suede throughout your wardrobe. Update the
2015 tunic trend by picking up a suede tunic to stay cutting
edge.
