In case you missed the street style memo, vinyl is in and everything else is out. But on the off chance you haven’t scoured the streets for the latest style updates, we’re sure Saint Laurent’s Fall/Winter 2017-2018 runway show left a huge impression on you.

So without further ado, fashion enthusiasts meet vinyl, your one and only fall companion, whose laminated texture will take you from nay to yay in a little splash of fabulousness. But why would you switch your fancy leather for a shinier texture? Well apart from the reason insinuated in the question above, vinyl gives you a little something to shine brighter than you already do!

Take Moschino for example; the brand’s runway show was also a nod to the up-and-coming trend, alongside many other brands – think Isabel Marant, amongst others. But we’re not the only ones gushing over the patent mania, as we’ve spotted a lot of stars sporting the shiny look in an ever-so dreamy way. The texture is also extremely versatile, as it can look gorgeous on trousers, skirts, jackets, bags and surely, shoes. Now we know you’ll need some visual proof to seal the deal, so we’ve taken it upon ourselves to scour the best and most trending vinyl pieces today. Your patent paradise, right this way…
