A deep dive through our editors’ Instagram feeds proved that while the filters from 2011 haven’t aged well, some of the trends we’ve worn have actually held up. That’s the thing about fashion: even while it gives us newness, trends are cyclical, and what was cool at the start of the decade is suddenly en vogue again. In fact, from 2010 to 2019, we’ve ushered in plenty of looks that we’ll continue to wear right into 2020. From jumpsuits to high-waisted pants and puffy sleeves, we’ve combed through our very own archives to give you the best trends of the decade. These are the pieces that shaped our personal style and changed the way we dress – for the better.
Inside, relive our favorite pieces – some of which, we’re wearing right now – as we prepare to welcome a new era.

Blazers
“My style has evolved a lot since I started working in fashion, partly because when you’re still finding your style and what works best for you, you experiment a lot (some worked, some did NOT!). The trends that have shaped my style are definitely more classic evergreen trends. I love a tailored blazer and wear one often over dresses, denim etc. To me, they can still be trendy and reinvented in new colors and fabrics like leather, tweed, or velvet. There are also great vintage blazer finds from heritage brands.” – Dana Avidan Cohn, executive style director

High-Waisted Everything
“I know below-the-belly is on its way back, but I’m savoring every moment of this fabulous trend while I can. I discovered this trend while living in New York maybe seven or eight years ago and it gave me the confidence to dabble in crop tops. I was no longer forced to consider showing my entire stomach but just a little upper-rib. And I can handle that! I favor high-waisted silk shorts in the Summer months, and trousers in the Winter.” – Rebecca Brown, Family editor
