With 2019 right around the corner, we’re all wondering what quirks it’s going to greet us with, what events may turn into memes, and what weird online challenges we may face that would overtake, say, the “In my feelings” challenge. But most importantly, what fashion trends that may take heavy borrowings from the past will be set to greet us.

But before we move onto all that, we’re taking a look back at all the influencer fashion trends that took on 2018 – from the weird to the wonderful…

Fur Coats
Fur coats took the stage this year for their fluffy flair. From plush faux to fearless fakes, fur stole our hearts and warmed them up.

Pool Slides
Pool slides became a hit, and it didn’t even need Kanye’s help (though we have to admit, he did help its reputation). This statement introduced edgy to casual and we couldn’t get enough of them.

Linen
Linen made its statement in 2018 with minimalist styles and cuts that could never go wrong. Nothing’s more simple and stylish than a linen beach dress for that everyday “I woke up like this” look.

Holo
We were all a little greedier for a little more glimmer this year. Iridescence was of the essence when it came to keeping up with the trends. Glitter, especially silver holo was on everyone’s list.

Side Stripe Pants
The simple red stripe took us to a new world of chic. Who knew such a casual piece could make our legs look so long, so fabulous, and yet so sporty all at the same time. We’re loving it and have no doubt we haven’t seen the last of this trend.

Tube Tops
Simple, plain and easy to pair, tube tops peaked the fashion needs of many style icons, giving us the opportunity to show what we’ve got. No matter what our size, we always looked good and we know the tube’s got our back.
