Fast-changing fashion trends can be hard to keep up with – but how many of these must-have pieces do you have adorning your wardrobe? I know it’s only August, but before we start concentrating on autumn/winter wear, let’s check out the most popular items that summer 2018 has delivered.
The top ten best-selling items of 2018 have been revealed in a new report, and far from being wardrobe staples, they include a pair of rubber sliders, a £270 belt and some futuristic-looking high top trainers. I don’t know whether to be proud or embarrassed to admit – I have them all.
That’s according to Lyst.com, who have published the latest instalment of their quarterly index, listing the most sought-after pieces of the season. The report, produced in partnership with The Business of Fashion, ranks fashion’s hottest brands and biggest products.
Topping the list of best-selling products is Louis Vuitton’s classic Neverfull bag – but with a price tag of £920 and upwards, clever shoppers are snapping up ‘pre-owned’, or second-hand models on eBay.
The popular tote was closely followed by a pair of metallic sneakers from Golden Goose, sequin-covered ankle boots and a pink bomber jacket from Acne.
A pair of high-top trainers, a sports hoodie and a pair of Topshop Joni jeans also made the list.
According to the global fashion search platform, Spanish fashion house Balenciaga is officially the ‘hottest brand in fashion’, beating luxury label Gucci to second place. I have the crazy huge Balenciaga trainers, which are like walking in moon boots.
