Europe 2018: Fashion Research

Our trip is taking us to Spain's two main cities, Madrid and Barcelona.
Since Europeans are always ahead of the fashion trends, Rachel and I did some serious investigating prior to leaving. Here are some trends that are hot in Europe now.  

I LIKE THE WAY YOU WORK IT 

This "Office Wear" look doesn't just work on the week days.
These plaid jackets are great to wear on your way to or from of the office.


THE STATEMENT COAT

YOU NAME IT.
Long. Multi-colored. Printed. Fur. 
It seems that this year you cannot be afraid to go BOLD.


ATHLEISURE: THE FASHION SNEAKER

Personally, I wouldn't be mad if athleisure never went out of style.
There is nothing better than walking around in shoes that are ACTUALLY COMFORTABLE. 
Here are some of the great fashion sneakers to pair with your outfits this year. 


"EASTER EGG" COLORS

This isn't the official name for the trend. But, how can it not come to your mind when you see these colors? Pastels are expected to really hit their stride come Spring and Summer.
TIP: Try pairing these items with simple colors (blacks, whites, etc). It will let the the pastel items be your outfit's statement piece.
