With the new decade, we return to the Roaring ‘20s. The chic, sleek, sophisticated, and fun styles of this party period are iconic, and the 2020s will hopefully live up to that level. To do so, it’s time to retire some of our favorite looks from the 2010s, specifically, towards the latter end of the decade. Some trends last a season, and some span years, but a new decade always brings about change worth noting. So, “out with the old,” they say, and “in with the new.” Take a look to see which trends we’re leaving in 2019 and their replacements in the new decade!
Out: PVC
In: Quilting
We’re through with the lack of privacy and discomfort of PVC. Puffers don’t have to be just jackets anymore! Take a look at these bags; a twist on the classic leather or quilted purse.
Out: Initial Necklaces
In: Initial Rings
It seemed as if almost every girl had an initial necklace of some sort at one point in this past decade. The classic Alphabet Necklace brought about a new wave of initial-mania. This craze seems to be flowing from necklaces to rings as they rise in popularity among trendsetters!
Out: Logo-mania
In: All Neutrals
Luxury Designers such as Chanel, Dior, Fendi, Burberry, and Louis Vuitton all hopped on the Logo-train in 2019. These chaotic pieces can only be balanced in the new year with the rise of ultra-neutrals. Think: nude, on cream, on off-white, on beige --no huge labels.
Out: Seashell jewelry
In: Pearls
Seashells had a micro-season of fame in 2019. The boho-chic look spanned earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and even hair-clips over the season, but it’s time to leave the beach and drop the look for a more sleek and chic look: pearls.
Out: Leopard print slips
In: Sheer & Billowing Dresses
While animal prints were thought of as trashy or cheap towards the beginning of the decade, the end brought about the rise of leopard. It seemed you couldn’t go anywhere without seeing someone wearing a Leopard slip dress and sneakers, or even paired with a t-shirt. However, this new era is bringing back billowing dresses. The bigger, wider, more tiered & layered, the better.
Out: Jumpsuits
In: Split leg pants
It’s sad to see such an easy trend retire. Although it’s easy to throw on a jumpsuit and immediately feel put together and stylish, it’s time to move on and return back to the polished look of trousers. Invest in a pair of split-leg pants to take your outfit from basic to elegant and trendy.
Out: Bike Shorts
In: Leather Pants
With trendsetters like Princess Diana and Victoria’s Secret Models, it’s hard to remember the origin of this athleisure trend. Thankfully, bike shorts are being left in the gym this year as we make the switch to leather pants. A pair of these can easily make a simple outfit sleek and sophisticated.
Out: Hair-clips
In: Headbands
2018 and 2019 brought back Hair-clips. Whether they were embellished, simple, neon, or pearled, they were the retro-accessory to have. Although they looked amazing, they were pretty hard for the average person to style, but thankfully, we’re trading in clips for a new vintage look: headbands. Think less Blair Waldorf and more Kate Middleton.
Out: Tie-dye
In: Suits!
While this trend did start in 2019, it’s only picking up speed from there. Trade in the streetwear-boho look of tie-dye --which had a major micro-season of popularity-- for a more sleek and chic look. Fashion week showcased an overflow of suits, so this look is here to stay! Experiment with bright, patterned, monochrome, oversized, or tailored suits to find your look.

Out with the ‘extra’ and in with the Vintage
Footwear seems to travel back in time as we return to looks from the past. The fashion cycle seems to be bringing back our mothers’ favorite looks as we say goodbye to chunky sneakers, sock shoes, naked shoes, and snakeskin booties. Instead, we welcome back loafers, asymmetric straps & thong-heels, slouchy boots, and platform sandals!
