8 Fashion Trends to Look vorwärts-, nach vorn to in 2017 

Off-the-shoulder tops and velvet everything may have dominated our closets this year, but what can we expect in 2017? Here is your complete guide to the top fashion trends we'll be indulging in next year.

While pink has certainly made its presence known among our favorite

and accessories this year, we're willing to bet that the bubblegum shade will continue to reign supreme in 2017. Brands like Céline (shown here), Valentino, Gucci, Loewe, and more sent out an assortment of rose-hued ensembles for spring 2017, solidifying the color's "It" status among the fashion set for many more months to come.

Wondering what to wear to the Women's March in D.C. next month? A slew of designers have you covered. Slogan tops with empowering messages were all the rage on the spring 2017 runway. Designer Stella McCartney, best known for her sustainable ethics, sent down versions that read "Girls Thanks, and No Fur, No Leather," while Dior's Maria Grazia Chiuri received praise for her "We Should All Be Feminists" tee. The message is loud and clear: Let your shirt do all the talking next year.

Why lug around a heavy tote when you can just carry your handy dandy cell phone? Next year, we're all for streamlining our daily essentials—and it seems, so are designers. For spring 2017, Louis Vuitton's Nicolas Ghesquière

version of the brand's signature leather bags, while Chloé, Valentino, and Dior sent down mini purses just big enough to hold your beloved device.

Don't get us wrong, we love the comfort of sneakers, but it's time for a new footwear style to take over our shoe closet. For 2017, designers are proposing sky-high platforms, like Proenza Schouler's spotted sandals and Gucci's lofty loafers embellished with studs. After seasons of ubiquitous all-white kicks, a dramatic heel is a (much needed) breath of fresh air.

Why mess with success? Statement earrings have been a favorite of the fashion set and partygoers this year, and it seems the trend will continue to dominate in 2017. Brands like J.W. Anderson (shown here), Delpozo, and Proenza Schouler all sent down

down the runway—some that even dip well past the shoulder.

Who doesn't love stripes? Fashion's favorite print is timeless and totally wearable. Next year, get ready to see stripes in all sizes and colors on everything from chunky sweaters to knit dresses and oversize shirts.

Next year, get ready to cover up in voluminous sleeves and architectural shoulder pads reminiscent of the '80s. Balenciaga, Jacquemus (shown here), and Saint Laurent sent various options down the runway for spring 2017, marking the end of this year's much beloved (and overdone) off-the-shoulder silhouette.

A trend we never thought will see the light of day: Crocs, the footwear of choice for nurses and chefs around the world, finally got a sartorial makeover thanks to

. The designer introduced bedazzled versions of the homely shoes, inciting a wave of shock and fascination among the fashion set. We can't wait to see the brave souls who will take on this trend next year.
