Women’s Fashion Trends Most Likely to Sell out
These 7 best selling styles and trending clothes for women have either been seen all over the streets at Paris and New York fashion week Spring Summer, are a viral TikTok trend, winners of LTK Most Loved awards, or a celeb favorite.
- Archival revival: namely Chloés Paddington bag.
- Valentino rockstud pumps (are back in style thanks to Devil Wears Prada 2).
- Trending clothes: lace stirrup leggings.
- Slim fit jeans.
- Women’s clothing trends: Leather.
- Hermès red bags as seen on Sofia Richie Grainge, Elsa Hosk and Kendall Jenner.
1. Archival bags: Trending bag – Chloé Paddington bag
You either had it and loved it or eyed it the first time around and it’s back again. New creative directors often head to the archives for inspiration from their classics. This year’s version is longer but still as iconic, even if that padlock does add some serious weight to the bag.
2. Women’s fashion trends: Valentino rockstud pumps
Valentino rockstud pumps are back in style and one of the biggest women’s fashion trends right now. It’s not surprising as they’re one of the comfiest heels out there. In fact it’s not just the pumps but anything Valentino with studs.
However, there are lots of other more affordable options to wear this trend. Style this it-piece with pretty much anything for all seasons this year and you’ll look on trend.
3. Trending clothes: lace leggings
Trending women’s clothes don’t have to be designer. Lace leggings from pretty much any brand work for this fashion trend. They may not be the easiest to style, but the effort it well worth it and yes, leggings with heels are very much in fashion.
5. Trending clothes: slim fit jeans
Classic denim is another wardrobe basic and slim fit jeans are another trend that’s back after wide legs being in style for so long. They’re a great everyday basic and easy to dress up and down.
If you’re looking for a denim brand that won’t break the bank, Agolde is the best selling jean brand whose fans include Leonie Hanne, Rhianna, Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift.
5. Trending designer clothes: Saint Laurent leather jacket
Leather outfits and leather on leather are big fashion trends and Saint Laurent’s leather jacket is one of the most popular pieces right now. It may be hefty on the credit card but it’s a work of art and a total statement piece.
For a luxe for less pair, Sam Edelman has a really similar alternative for under $200. Dress them up, dress them down. They go with pretty much all of this years women’s clothing trends from leather to denim to crochet to billowing dresses.
6. Trending Bags: Red Hermès bag (Hermès Epsom Kelly Sellier rouge)
If you only invest in one it-piece to nail a fashion trend each season or year, make it a bag or shoes. They’ll get much more cost per wear than trending clothes. Investing in the “it bag” of the year is an easy way to elevate every one of your looks and make it fashion forward.
The Hermès Epsom Kelly Sellier rouge bag has been seen on Sofia Richie Grainge, Elsa Hosk and Kendall Jenner to name a few celebrities toting this bag around town.
While this Hermès bag isn’t the easiest to source or afford it is one of the most covetable and a timeless classic. So while it might not the most common bag due to those 2 facts, it’s definitely high on the most wanted list. I’ve also scouted it out on the resale market too.
