FREAKY NATION Jackets

2019 has given us a trip down memory lane with several '90s fashion trends. First, we got to relive our childhood with those fun scrunchies and hair accessories we used to rock as kids. The resurgence of platforms also brought us joy, especially when Steve Madden released a shoe collection inspired by the footwear style. Now, smocked dresses are the latest trend giving us pure '90s nostalgia. While we first saw the scrunched up fabric in off-the-shoulder tops, smock dresses are now helping us release our inner child. Whether you're looking for a long dress for those chillier summer nights or want to show some skin with a leg-baring piece, these are the hottest smocked dresses of the season. Scroll through to see our top picks.

We're calling it: Lavender is the It color of 2018. Sorry millennial pink, but with pale purple appearances on Spring '18 runways from Tom Ford, Tibi, and Victoria Beckham (to name a few), it's hard to ignore the pastel-adjacent takeover. Lavender even has the Rihanna seal of approval, along with Black Panther lead Lupita Nyong'o and Grown-ish rising star Yara Shahidi rocking lilac gowns on the red carpet in full support of the lilac hue. What's not to love about a universally flattering shade that looks good with just about anything, with your favorite denim or a bold orange lip. If you're not ready to take on loud ultra-violet, then these lavender pieces are your in to one of 2018's top statement trends. Shop our fave lilac finds from athleisure essentials and spring maxi dresses all the way to standout shoes and boxy suit jackets.
