Some trends come and go before we can even give them a try. Others we warm up to, though we might have been skeptical at first. But the 10 styles below went viral this season because we fell in love with them instantly. Right now, fashion girls are wild for statement pieces that speak to their individuality, whether it's a customized coat or furry slides in a favorite colorway. Read on to see all the pieces worth investing in, not only because they'll make your wardrobe more fun, but because they'll get a ton of wear. We've got a feeling the looks below will inspire your outfit choices for awhile.
Statement Slides
Some are furry, some are sleek and made of leather. We bet girls will be sacrificing frozen toes just to juxtapose these with oversize shirts when September comes. For now, style them with your slip dress or a structured jumper.
Bell-Sleeved Tops
Worn oversize to exaggerate shape, these structured statement pieces look totally cool with boyfriend jeans and block heels. Another quick trick? Undo the sleeves on your button-up to create the same illusion.
The Distressed Denim Skirt
While a button front feels a little outdated, these rugged styles bring us back to the '90s. Every girl has her pick of one that speaks to her personality — whether it’s splashed with graffiti, ripped at the hem, or embroidered.
Personalized Jean Jackets
Hit up the denim bar at Madewell or customize your own at Rails. If you’re not crazy about wearing your own name on your back, you can also choose a style embroidered with a fun slogan.
Patchwork Jeans
Whether they’re split horizontally or vertically or they’re plastered with patches, denim that’s been ripped, cropped, and redone is here to stay. You’ll find yourself slipping into these bad boys way more than your go-to skinnies.
Roomy Jumpsuits
Yours can sparkle its way into the eveningwear section of your closet or you can pair a silky style with a white tee and sneakers to give off casual vibes. Jumpsuits are easy one-and-done outfits, so there’s no reason we’d stop wearing them.
A Top-Handle Bag
Swinging these at your side doesn’t just look effortless, it really is easy. Gut your wallet and add your cards, cash, and a lip gloss to one of these dainty satchels. It’ll be a weight off your shoulders.
Ballerina Flats
This edgy buckled Miu Miu style made its debut on the runway, but there are plenty of styles with wraparound lace details that fit the bill. Just make sure the footwear you invest in has a little something extra — not just a dainty bow on the upper.
Sheer Lace
Show off a more feminine take on the "naked dress" by opting for a piece with see-through panels. The look is romantic whether it's in the form of a maxi dress or a Victorian-inspired top.
Colorful Bomber Jackets
Whether it's metallic and splashed with a pattern or more understated, perhaps in an olive sheen, girls will be swinging their unique bombers on their backs (or letting the sleeves fall off their shoulders) all through Winter.
