A new year has arrived which means it’s only a matter of time before a host of new looks and trends arrive to take over our wardrobes. Want to be ahead of the game? These are the pieces we’re predicting will be big in 2018.

Fashion blogger Nina Sandbech is (naturally) already mastering the 2018 look.
