Recent fashion weeks in New York, London and Stockholm, left us with a slew of new and exciting trends to try. Rather than just lusting over the designer originals, you too can sport the latest fads. We’ve compiled a list of affordable versions of top international fashion week trends, available here in Australia.

Leggings are still showing no signs of fading out – they were spotted frequently on the runways in London, often paired with longer dresses and skirts for a unique look. Sportsgirl offers a range of affordable, printed leggings.
In London, we noticed an influx of oversized knits on the runway. Acne and Jonathan Saunders showcased these comfy jumpers in their shows. Sport the look without paying the designer price with Dotti’s selection of large, knit jumpers.
In New York, we saw the cut-out everywhere – a skin-baring trend featured in dresses and shirts, highlighting backs, ribs, and shoulders. Jump into this playful trend with a dress from Glue Store. The key to pulling off this look is to keep accessories to a minimum.
Over in Stockholm, flatforms were all the rage. These shoes have slowly been creeping onto runways and street style blogs for a year now, but they’re about to hit it big. Topshop, which is set to open its second Australian store in Sydney this year, offers these affordable flatform sandals – comfortable and stylish.
