When we needed more inspo on what to shop for and how to dress [1], we turned to Pinterest. Last year, based on in-house data, the company released its top 10 2017 style predictions [2] among its 100 trend predictions. Bell sleeves and high-neck tops were "in" along with DIY [3] embellishments like patches and pins. But did Pinterest steer us in the right direction? Take a look ahead at the predictions and then draw conclusions yourself on whether or not the trends were made.
The Bell Sleeve
It was time to reinvent the off-the-shoulder look with the addition of bell sleeves.
DIY With Pins, Patches, and Stickers
Fashion girls made their denim jackets stand out by DIYing with patches and pins to their heart's content.
Pajama Dressing
Those who chose comfort first were glad to know they could still wear pajama-like tops, dresses, and suit sets similar to Gigi Hadid's [5].
The Shift to Neutrals Like Camel or Khaki
Colors be damned! Neutral tones popped up everywhere, and the shades were versatile enough to pair with everything in your wardrobe.
Denim With Flair
Breathe a sigh of relief: denim was still in for this year. The styles varied from lighter shades to distressed jeans [6].
Political Tops
No surprise, the search for political tees was up given all that has happened this year with both Donald Trump and Melania Trump [7].
Backless Shoes
Your introduction to the backless shoe trend may have been the Gucci loafers [8], but since then, the flat has popped up in all different versions: velvet, suede, furless — you name it.
Stacked Earrings
Instead of stacking your rings, it was time to stack your earrings.
'80s-Inspired Style
The search for '80s-inspired pieces were so strong on Pinterest, we even curated some outfit inspo [9] to help you give the style a spin.
The High-Neckline Top
Need more proof modesty is always in? High-neck tops were one of the most searched items on Pinterest.
