She jetted from New York to Paris, following the runways [1] and tracking the trends on the street [2], so when it comes to what's big for 2019, Shopbop [3]'s Fashion Director Caroline Maguire knows what's up. She's the woman behind the cool, curated lineup of designers and brands that line the virtual shelves of our favorite online boutique [4]. From the up-and-comers to classic labels we love, Caroline is something of a style sleuth, unearthing the next big things in fashion. So when we caught up after Fashion Week Month, we wanted to know: what looks will be big this year?
Inside, she breaks it all down, from how to wear it to the pieces to buy right now.
