1.BARDOT BUSINESS

Reem Acra, Zac Posen and Alice+Olivia are just a few names amongst many that showcased the trend on the catwalk this year. Blair Eadie, blogger at The Atlantic-Pacific and Director of Accessories at Tory Burch, elevated the bardot with a touch of old-school glam. Nail Eadie's look on a beach vacay with a neck-scarf, straw hat and breezy off-shoulder dress.

2.ALL PRINT EVERYDAY

Here's your cue on working the trend like Fendi and Burberry, out of the catwalk, into the streets. We love how model and founder of La Petite Anglaise, Ella Catliff makes print-on-print so much less daunting. Work it like her in an intricate floral dress with a big webbed-print bomber, a tassled bag, and ankle boots. Go on, slip some grungy playfulness at a music festival.

3.3D FLORALS

This year, we've seen 3-D flowers on dresses, jackets, accessories - in short, everywhere (Yes, we are guilty of worhipping Delpozo's applique bags). So when we spotted Rachael Wang, Director at Allure Magazine, turning up the heat in the 3-D floral trend on the streets of New York, we put her on our inspo board. Take cues on how to pop colour and trend in one solid outfit just like Ms. Wang.

4.PERFECT MATCH

The made-to-match trend didn't just dominate the catwalk this year but stood firm ground on the streets as well. We found the perfect winter-done-right inspo in founder of Russian fashion portal Buro247.com, Miroslava Duma. Working the khaki co-ord set like a total boss here's a step-by-step of the look - throw on a faux fur eskimo jacket (adorbs) over a casual jumpsuit, slip into platform booties - done!

5.SOLD ON SLEEVES

Be it the ruffled Gucci sleeves, or the balloon Marni sleeves, all versions of this statement trend are ruling street style. 23-year-old Danielle Bernstein, founder of internationally renowned blog, WeWoreWhat masters the art of taming voluminous sleeves in this super chic look. A big thumbs-up to the cute denim overalls she's teamed it up with! #WeLove

6.DRESS ON DENIMS

You gotta think different to keep it relevant. If Simone Rocha, Chanel and Givenchy made dress over pants look their thing on the catwalk, street stars made it their own by adding dress over denims. Leandra Medine, founder of the Man Repeller blog, nailed two trends in one - dress over denims + double denim = Woah! Inspired much?

7.SAY THE WORD

Fashion weeks this year have been witness to the quirkiet typography and logo-tees of the decade. Aimee Song - founder of the biggest fashion and interior design blog, Song of Style - shows us how it's done in a leather skirt, satin bomber and trainers. #GrlPwr

8.UP THE FRILL

What was the biggest trend that every fashion house (think Altuzarra, Marchesa, Zimmerman) and celebrity just naturally gravitated towards? Ruffles. We love how Wendy Nguyen, YouTube star and blogger, makes it super chic by throwing together a cropped trench, a logo-tee and satin pumps. Straight out of #StreetStyleHeaven, innit?

9.BIKER GRUNGE

While McQueen and Saint Laurent gave biker jackets the decorative embellishment they were missing in 2016, we were busy taking style notes from NYLON Magazine Style Director and Consultant, Dani Stahl. We especially adore the retro tee, 70s patchwork boyfriend jeans and the electric blue clutch with rivets. Ready to rock and roll?

10.ALL ABOUT ASYMMETRY

Casting agent, authour, photographer and queen of vintage, Natalie Joos took to the streets in this layered, asymmetric hem. Not only was it a great example of how to wear colour when you are slipping into winter but how to stay effortlessly warm in asymmetry. The Tales of Endearment founder accessorized her layers with a tropical-print bag and tassel-lace sandals... To. Die. For.
