Don't You Dare Throw Out These 17 Items — You'll Need Them For 2018

Wear With: Mismatched checks of a different size, but make sure your separates are the same in tone.

These Zara High Waist Checked Trousers can definitely be coordinated with some of the tartan blazers or coats you already have.

Wear With: An asymmetrical skirt so you can be bold about your look and show them just how high your boots travel.

If you're new to the thigh-high boot trend, start with these Mango Over-the-Knee Heel Boots ($90), which are simple in shade and material.

Wear With: A long checked skirt and plenty of layers so you can bundle up your clothes and cinch at the waist. For more styling ideas with a trench coat, click here.

This Asos Trench Coat in Vinyl ($127) speaks to the PVC trend too, so you're killing two birds with one stone.

Wear With: Feminine florals and a thick turtleneck sweater to "toughen" up the flirty vibes of your look. The puffer has replaced the bomber, and it's generally warmer too, so we're not complaining.

We love the powdery pink shade of the Asos Ultimate Puffer Jacket ($87), which will fit a wide range of sizes and shapes.

Wear With: Heels or booties. Track pants aren't going anywhere in 2018, but you can refresh your old pairs in new ways. Instead of sporting them with feminine off-the-shoulder blouses and sneakers, try rocking a padded down vest and backless mules or something with a stiletto heel.

You can unbutton the Tory Sport Banner Tear Away Track Pants ($178) to affect the shape of your outfit or show off your shoes.

Wear With: A top that leaves your shoulders bare so you can really draw attention to long chains or chunky hoops.

You'll get a tremendous amount of wear out of the Adornmonde Rodolphe Gold Crystal Star Earrings ($90), which are both delicate and eye-catching at the same time. These go with everything from a white tee to a tough moto jacket.

Wear With: Neutral basics to allow the shape of your bag to take center stage — that's what it's all about.

Elizabeth and James Market Grommet Small Leather Tote ($382, originally $545)

Wear With: Your power suit and loafers. Instead of going all out in athleisure like we did in 2017, it's time to polish off your old college sweatshirt with smartly tailored coordinates and a designer bag.

Rep your favorite sports brand with the Champion Fleece Logo Hoodie - 100% Exclusive ($50).

Wear With: Wide-leg pants and a duster coat that comes to a slightly different length. You'll want to play with proportions and really draw attention to your shoes with tiny little heels. Whether it's an '80s-inspired bootie you're after, a leather mule, or a slingback, the footwear silhouette's sticking around.

The relaxed contrast bow on The Row Suede and Satin Bow Mules ($795) is what really makes them unique.

Wear With: Perform the half-tuck with a slouchy flannel, and let a coordinating belt peek out. You can also layer one flannel over another, or use a checked iteration to contrast another buzzy pattern. For even more ideas, click here.

This Mango Oversize Check Shirt ($50) comes in classic tones and has just enough give to layer with.

Wear With: Ribbed socks and slacks. Call them "Dad sneakers" if you will, these trainers have chunky soles and thick platforms that offer all the more support and make quite a statement at the same time.

The oxblood shade of these Zara Sneakers With Contrasting Felt ($56) makes them versatile. We think they'd look smashing with some gold jewelry involved.

Wear With: Black tights, a polished tee, and contrast '80s booties. Bonus points if you take it back to the '80s with exaggerated shoulder pads.

This R 13 Women's Distressed Asymmetric Denim Skirt ($365) speaks to the deconstructed denim trend, and it's just distressed enough so that adding on to your outfit won't look messy.

Wear With: A powder blue suit or under a checked co-ord set. You can also try one with an oversize fit styled with a pair of over-the-knee boots. See: lampshading. Complete the combination with a thick, structured jacket.

Wear With: Your most casual pieces during the day, whether that be a loose striped shirt or a sweater, or even your sneakers — sequins by day might be more, or equally as popular, as sequins by night.

Wear With: A pair of heels. We say go for a slouchy utility jumpsuit that might as well come off as somebody's uniform, then style it up. Roll the sleeves, the hem of your pants, or even cinch at the waist. Complete with a statement clutch and stilettos to talk about.

The Frame Cropped High-Rise Cotton Twill Jumpsuit ($550) is just fitted enough, and can be styled a variety of ways.

Wear With: Some 2018 statement denim and a chunky turtleneck. The basket bag trend might be a surprising one, but that doesn't mean it's running out of steam. The most wow-worthy way to wear one is with your Winter gear. Pulling that off is half the battle.

The Muun Lou Straw Basket Tote ($245) has a little something extra with a wiry bow and a picnic scarf as adornments.

Wear With: A statement skirt or dress and some standout heels or booties. Either pull one off the shoulder, or button asymmetrically to achieve the "deconstructed" look.

The Asos Denim Girlfriend Jacket in Midwash Blue ($64) is slouchy and long enough to style to your liking. Roll up the sleeves, get inventive with the buttons, or let it hang loose.
