In fashion trends come and go, this means that trends may either be lasting or passing. A trend can rise above others and be elevated to staple/social status.  For a trend to become social, it means it has become so relevant not only for the socialites or influencers but to the masses. A social trend is something that we didn't think would last but eventually became widely liked and did not fade away.  Below are Vanestyle's Select of Fashion Trends that have staples. The Boyfriend Jeans Easy to dress up or down, boyfriend jeans are a worthy match for your favorite tops and shoes.

WARDROBE DETOXING Exciting, isn’t it? We all have our wardrobe filled with different types of outfits, whether they were gifted to us, we shopped at some point based on trend or shopped on passing, saying to ourselves "Oh, it'll come in handy”, but most of these outfits are not worthy enough to remain in our wardrobes.
