10 FASHION TRENDS FOR 2019 // Fashion Mumblr
Ten runway trends are about to filter down into every high-street rack for 2019, and Josie’s got the styling notes.
Josie, the British stylist behind Fashion Mumblr, spent the back half of 2018 pulling together the trend report every reader of her blog asks for each year — a rundown of exactly what’s about to show up in the shops, and how to actually wear it without looking like you raided a runway backstage. Her video, “10 FASHION TRENDS FOR 2019 + How To Wear Them,” breaks the year into ten wearable categories, pairing each with real outfits and shoppable pieces rather than abstract mood-board talk. Fashion Mumblr has run this format since the blog launched in 2015, and this installment leans hard on three trends she flags as the ones worth spending money on first.
- Bold, graphic prints — leopard, zebra, tribal motifs and oversized florals — anchor the list as the trend Josie expects to dominate both runway and street looks through 2019.
- Faux fur outerwear and accessories get singled out as a cruelty-free alternative gaining real traction, arriving in coats, vests and trims.
- Structured 1980s-style puffed shoulders return across blouses, jackets and dresses, marking one of the year’s clearest silhouette shifts.
The Print Play
Josie opens her breakdown with prints because, in her words to viewers, they’re the easiest way to update a wardrobe without buying a single new silhouette. Leopard and zebra print lead the pack, followed by tribal-inspired patterns and graphic florals that are bolder and more oversized than the ditsy prints that dominated prior seasons. She also calls out animal-print accessories — belts, shoes and bags — as the lower-commitment entry point for anyone not ready to wear a full leopard coat down the street.
Bold prints, faux fur and puffed shoulders: the three trends Josie tells viewers are worth building a 2019 wardrobe around first.
Faux Fur’s Cruelty-Free Comeback
The second trend Josie zeroes in on is faux fur, framed explicitly as part of a broader industry shift toward cruelty-free materials rather than a nostalgia play. She walks through coats, vests and fur-trimmed accessories, positioning faux fur as both a styling statement and a values-driven purchase for shoppers paying closer attention to how their clothes are made. That same shift toward more responsible sourcing is showing up elsewhere in fashion coverage, including in breakdowns of how recycling machines turn used apparel into new clothing.
Puffed Shoulders and the 80s Revival
Structured, puffed shoulders make up the third major trend in Josie’s rundown, showing up on blouses, blazers and dresses with a deliberate 80s-power-dressing edge. Rather than treating it as a costume throwback, she styles the shoulder detail into modern, wearable outfits — pairing an oversized-shoulder blazer with simple trousers or letting a puffed-sleeve blouse carry a look on its own. It’s the most structurally dramatic shift in her top three, and the one she spends the most time showing multiple ways to wear.
Rounding Out the List
Beyond the top three, Josie’s full ten-trend rundown covers neon color pops, oversized deconstructed trouser suits, deliberate texture-and-fabric layering, retro bucket hats, high-shine metallics and patent finishes, and soft pastel palettes in powder blue and dusty pink. Each gets the same treatment as the headline trends — a shoppable, styled example rather than a runway photo with no practical translation. It’s the format that’s kept Fashion Mumblr’s trend guides a recurring fixture for readers heading into any new season, the same audience that turns up for her wearable trend breakdowns and seasonal lookbooks year after year.
Josie closes the video the way she opens most of her guides — telling viewers there’s no need to chase all ten trends at once, just pick the one or two that already fit pieces sitting in the closet. For 2019, that’s leopard print, a faux fur topper, and a blazer with real shoulder structure, in whatever order the wardrobe budget allows.
