Just like an investment piece of furniture can make a lived-in space feel brand new, a standout trend item or two will jump-start a wardrobe. Bored of your blue jeans? Consider the effect of dressing up said denim with a striking animal print, mixed media sequins or romantic ruffles. Boom -- the magic of fashion. To point you in the right direction, here we showcase five of-the-moment trends that will immediately make any outfit look more interesting. Dive in!

All-Over Animal Print

Is there anything more rock n' roll than animal-print? Whether you're drawn to leopard or snakeskin print, this daring look will give you a reason to make plans. Complement the look with a chignon bun and glowing skin.

Mixed Media Separates

More is always more. From sequins to satin and fringe galore, a mixed media piece gives you a head start on the festive season. Dab on a pretty lip gloss to seal in the party-ready vibe.

Major Metallics

Counter a turtleneck with a bold metallic skirt -- or mini dress -- for a fresh take on business casual. Layer on a chunky chain necklace for added glamour.

Romantic Ruffles

For unapologetic femininity, reach for ruffles. Translate the look to everyday with motorcycle boots and a cinched in waist.

Velvet Details

Velvet equates to luxury. Work the runway trend in turtleneck form, styled alongside a satin slip and chunky ankle boots. Add a leather cross-body bag to the equation to mismatch textures.
