Fashion Weeks exist to show just that – trends for next spring/summer aesthetic. But, if the Oscar de la Renta catwalk makes me want to strut into the office wearing a low ponytail in October, you best believe I’ll be doing it (wild). So, because we don’t need any sort of excuse to rock next season’s trends in the present day, and because I really enjoy studying the shows and sorting my hair out, here are the 7 trends for next year, that you should start wearing now.

1 Throwback hair
Beads, actual beads. Beads and bows and low ponytails – it’s all just so darn nostalgic. "Back to school hair" as Byrdie coined it, cropped up across various shows at Fashion Week. The effortless styles are easy to wear and even easier to pull together, so unlike the noughties, you won’t need dads help.

2 Dewy skin
With that October chill in the air (somewhere), we’re already lathering on an extra layer of moisturiser. Drenched in skincare is exactly how I like to spend the winter months, so I'm all in favour of the glossy skin at Badgley Mischka's show. Serum, moisturiser, highlighter, and repeat. We can start you off on the healthy skin hype ?
-
3 Freckles
Yep, we saw heaps of models taking to the runway with sun kissed cheeks in tow – Christopher Kane, especially. If you’re born with the speckled goods (praise be), make sure to show ‘em off with a lighter makeup base, if not, no judgement for faking it – brow pencil is your best mate for this one.
-
4 Textured hair
Let it hang free – all of it – in it’s wiry, coiled, frizzy, or slick natural state, because ‘textured hair’ was a popular choice on the catwalk. No fancy products or styling required, just you, straight out the shower (or bed). Fashion is great.

5 Pastel eyes
Heaps of pastel palettes appeared in the beauty sphere of Fashion Week, with eyelids coated in peach (staying just within the border of how I wore eyeshadow aged 7). Peter Piletto's sorbet shades were a sneak peak of the colours we'll be sporting for the rest of the year. It'll cheer up the dreary winter months, for sure.

6 Top knots
Not just for when you hop in the shower, or the morning after the night before… turns out, a roughed-up top knot is actually a stellar hairstyle for SS19 – dance with me. Scrape back your locks and hold in place with a clear elastic, pull baby hairs from the front and tendrils from the side, and you’re good to go. Easy.

7 Statement manicures
Orbit nails, logo manis and painted flags, statement fingertips came in by the bucketload across the fashion weeks. It makes for a simple twist on your usual polish style (just opt for nail art on top of your gel mani) – but leave it to the pros, I promise your hand isn’t steady enough.
