If you can't wait to find out, we've come up with some of the trends to look out for. Some of them will be familiar, such as bum bags and berets that we’ve seen on the catwalks of 2017. But other fashion trends in 2018 are completely new - and all are coming to urban streets near you.

2018 is going to give fashion fans the chance to shine. Materials like vinyl, acrylics and synthetics are set to conquer the fashion world, adding just the right amount of transparency to your wardrobe. Chanel was at the forefront of this trend in 2017. Spectacular spring shows by the iconic French label featured over-the-knee boots and long gloves made from transparent synthetics which they combined with tweed outfits in their own unique style.

Leggings and patent leather tops should help to create outfits that are suitable for everyday wear, which can be styled with oversized cardigans or transparent blouses. And jewellery is also part of the transparent trend: acrylic earrings and extravagant gold statement chains are both going to be huge in 2018. And, speaking of making a statement, conspicuous jewellery has been the darling of the fashion world for a few seasons.

This look will remain one of the fashion trends of 2018, but with even bigger statements. From opulent rings and necklaces to gorgeous earrings, jewellery is going to be outrageous this year.

Every year the Pantone colour institute selects its colour of the year. This year, they have made a magical selection with Ultra Violet.

This dark, bluish-purple tone will be part of many garments this year, from accessories like bags, to shoes and dresses - all sporting this mysterious colour. Suitable for bold fashion lovers, it will emphasise the romantic touch of chiffon dresses, allow humble sweaters to make a statement, or add a powerful touch to midi dresses. But if you aren't so bold, you can also integrate it subtly into everyday looks with accessories like berets.

As we found out in autumn 2017, the beret is well and truly back!

This iconic flat cap can be combined with almost everything the average wardrobe has to offer. It can be worn casually with jeans and coarse knit sweaters, or you can create Bohemian looks with tweed jackets and patent leather shoes. Speaking of patent leather, this French-inspired cap can come in leather varieties, velvet or silk. Expect fashionistas to make berets one of the biggest trends of 2018, for sure.

This year, expect the return of another classic. The trench coat is set for a return as one of the coolest fashion trends of 2018, although expect to discover completely new forms.

Applications, patterns and transparent inserts will transform old-style trench coats into must-have items. When the creativity of designers is unleashed, these ribbons and bows will update a classic in spectacular style.

The trench coat was hip in the 1980s, and so was the bum bag, which can be looped around both the hips and shoulders. Now, the accessory is coming back in luxurious designs featuring typical Chanel quilting or colourful pop art prints. These prints are regularly found on shirts, jumpers and trousers, and they will be everywhere in 2018, from bags, shoes and shirts, to dresses and coats. We can't wait to see the exciting designs that emerge in 2018!
