It's that time of year where you reflect on your wins and fails of the year, and look ahead to up your game in 2019, and that obviously includes fashion. I would say that for 2018, shell jewellery, slip skirts and checked blazers have been a major win on social media and IRL. So, what to expect next year?
The team at Pinterest have handily compiled a guide to what they think are going to be major fashion trends, and it's quite fascinating.
