Welcome, 2016! You’ve been much anticipated and happily welcomed by so many with the mantra of, “out with the old, in with the new!”

While that is all well and good, here are the trends that we want to bring into 2016 with us!

The Green Parka

We have seen this coat on so many of you collegiettes and cannot part with it! Not only is the green complimentary to many skin tones and hair colors, but the length is as well! Suitable for all shapes and sizes as well as cozy and warm, we want this jacket to stick with us through the winter!

Colored Tights

Want to dress up a casual dress for a night out or maybe add a pop of color to an otherwise dark and boring outfit? Throw on some colored tights! We are loving tights that show off your personality, whether that means a solid burgundy or a wile and funky pattern!

High Rise Fitted Jeans with Booties

This was an incredibly popular trend in the fall that we truly hope doesn’t disappear any time soon. Whether you love high-rise skinny jeans or high-rise fitted boyfriend jeans, rolling them up a few times, and throwing on a pair of your favorite booties adds a fun and flirty vibe, as well as accentuating the length of your legs!

Piko Long Sleeve Tunic Dresses

We are ALL about these dresses! Whether you’re a slender woman, a curvy woman, or somewhere in the middle, these dresses compliment every body type in such a great way. Want options? These dresses come in a variety of colors and lengths and are super easy to dress up or down.

Blanket Scarves

Want to make a statement on those cold winter days? Blanket scarves are the accessory for you! Not only are these scarves beautiful and warm, but they are versatile as well! You can create a shawl, a scarf, an infinity scarf, or an actual blanket out of them. With so many different colors and patterns, we would be crushed to see these go out of style.
