Just for fun: What's the trendiest item in your closet?

I don't normally think of myself as a trendy fashionista, but it's still fun to try new trends once in a while. You know what I'm going to say, since I'm wearing it today--my H&M floral ankle pants! These pants remind me of my black cotton blazer with floral print that I used to wear all the time in junior high, circa 1985-86. Which was about the last time in my life that I used to follow fashion trends closely! They are so super trendy and I know I'm not going to be able to wear these pants forever--the floral pants look is so in/hyped right now it may already be dated by next season! Fortunately they're only $14.95 so I can get them down to a reasonable CPW quickly!

Are you into fashion trends? What is the super trendiest item in your closet? Why did you buy it? How long do you plan to wear this item?

I am so not a trendy person! I like mostly classic conservative silhouettes but I DO like some of the new colors. I think the trendiest thing I ever owned was a pair of gaucho paints with knee high platform boots back in 1974!

My red and yellow coloured pants are the trendiest items in my closet right now, I think.

I don't keep up with trends so much, so I'm not sure - does animal print still count as a trend? Cos I have a leopard print scarf! I also have a mint necklace, but I bought that last year when mint was not 'in'

You and I are classmates then - I think I had these pants at the same time

Right now my trendiest item is my nude boots. They are definitely a flash in the pan but I love them anyway.

I don't think I have any. Even in Chicago I bought boring basics
On another thought do my flat color blocked yellow / cream oxfords count as trendy or not?

I can't think of a single thing! Maybe my zebra striped handbag.

Hmm, maybe my bright yellow Fluevog boots. Or my bright orange patterned maxi skirt (from last summer).

Maybe my red zippered moto ankle length skinnies? But only because all those elements are present in one pant at the same time lol. I'm sure any one of those by itself wouldn't make me blink an eye.

I really can't think of anything really "out there." I do have my orange F21 blazer and a striped knit blazer from TJMaxx. I suppose those are the trendiest things I own. Oh yeah, and a pair of leopard wedges that I should have returned but forgot to. I had a moment of weakness and thought I could channel Anna--as if!

I'd say my AT Loft striped blazer and my F21 bright orange blazer are the trendiest items right now. My faux fur vest, too, although it's a tiny bit older so maybe not quite as of-the-moment trendy. And my skinny jeans in Kelly green, mustard, red, and watermelon.

ETA: Kelly, we are trendy blazers twins!!

Probably my new floral dress - a trend I NEVER thought I'd get into!

I think the trendiest item is my striped blazer from BR. The loft one went back:(
I have worn it several times already. The ones I can remember : I wore it with my red halogen skirt and a white PB blouse, also with dark wash skinny jeans, white silk blouse and yellow peep toe flats. I'm wearing it again tomorrow with camel trousers. I'm not sure what top yet.

Hmm. If we're talking magazine page trends... that would be your - hehe- floral H&M pants, which I've copycatted you on, but haven't worn yet. I also got a color blocked tote from Express.

If we're talking trends in terms of what people have actually adopted... I'd have to say that would be jeggings and knee-high boots. I also have two pairs of suede ankle-strap platforms - I'd call them wedges, but they're totally flat. Are platforms a trend?

A polkadot pussy bow top

Kinda boring?

Hmm... maybe the slouchy, pleated, cropped (NOT ankle length though, thankyouverymuch) pants I am wearing today?

(I have a lot of florals too but I wear them even when they're totally not trendy, so I don't think that counts for me.)

I'm not quick to adopt trends but I do have quite a few cap toe ballet flats. I had my first Delmans a few years before they were everywhere though.
Citron yellow necklace and a pair of blue boyfriend jeans (have not worn yet).

In my case it would what isn't trendy in my closet.

You are ROCKING those pants! Wow!! I'm not very trendy. Probably the trendiest thing I have right now is a maxi skirt I bought a few weeks ago. That trend has been around for a few years, though, so it's hardly cutting edge.

LOL-- I would have to shop to own trendy pieces.

Actually, I have a floral midi skirt. It is 3 years old (actually probably older since I bought it from a discount retailer-- the floral is a "watercolor" probably from a few years before that when those prints were huge). I have never worn it because I couldn't find a top that looked nice, then realized there is something wonky with the waist I am not sure I can fix. I LOVE the pattern and colors (it's a moody "flooded-garden on a stormy day" floral) but I don't know if the horrible construction and polyester jersey are worth putting time and effort and maybe tailor money into to fix the "weirdness."

(Mo, I love those sandals!)

I'm not very trendy, I think. I buy basics all the time. My trendiest pieces would be my newest orange coat (but the sape is very classic), high heeled oxfords -classic again- and red pants -not worn yet, waiting for spring. Oh, a black lace shirt I bough for New Year's lol

My black Frye Melissa lace boots. Definitely a very trendy item compared to the rest of the things in my closet:)

Never mind on the striped blazer. I have a pair of color blocked sandals with orange on them:)

My striped Blazer (Boden) and Red skinny jeans (Blue Essence) for sure. I also have nude boots like Rita, but didn't consider them trendy. I tend to follow the trends with color more so if I decide to keep my hot pink VC pants I'll add those in.

Fluorescent yellow cross-body bag.

Neon yellow skinnies!

Bright yellow cross body bag. And nude booties.

Neither is terribly trendy, I guess. I tend more toward classics with a few unusual pieces that aren't exactly trendy. More retro.
