Fashion's most wanted items: 2018

From posy-pink boiler suits to helpings of logomania, these are the most searched items on Instagram in 2018

10. Prada Flame Heels

These flaming, patent leather heels had their first debut in SS12, but in 2018 Miuccia Prada anticipated it was time for a comeback. In shades of neon and metallics, the Flame Wedge sandals were strutting all over our social media feeds seemingly overnight. In August alone, the shoes sold out within minutes and were viewed more than 45,000 times.

9. Saint Laurent Lou Lou Sunglasses

Over the warmer months, searches for heart-shaped sunglasses were boosted by 49%. Saint Laurent's Lou Lou style was the reigning champ, as seen here on taste-making extraordinaire Giovanna Engelbert (@bat_gio).

8. Prada Luxe Logo Socks

Luxury tube socks, whether paired with heels or trainers, were a hit this year. These Prada ones were the most viewed in September.

7. Chloé Horse Print Suit

From Stella McCartney's dog-print pyjamas to this horse-printed tailored suit by Chloé, furry friends have been trotting into the sartorial realm all year. Everyone from Alexa Chung to Leandra Medine of Man Repeller thrust this corduroy two-piece into the limelight. The suit was viewed more than 30,000 times in February.

6. Jonathan Simkai Lace Up Jeans

Influencers, including the Hadid sisters, rendered these noughties-throwback lace up jeans one of the hottest hits this summer.

The 'Naomi' by Australian hot-brand flew off digital shelves like hot cakes, and sparked a slew of leopard print skirt spin-offs.

4. Ganni Pink Boiler suit

Over autumn, this button-down, lazy style Ganni boilersuit painted the town pink. Ghostbusters meets barbie.

3. Fendi Logo Emblazoned Tights

Fendi's FF Zucca monogrammed tights experienced 'The Kardashian Effect' after Kim Kardashian wore them on a social media post. They promptly sold out worldwide.

2. Off-White Industrial Belt

High vis, industrial and bright yellow, this belt is one of Off-White's most recognisable and coveted items. It's been trending all year. It just won't quit.

1. Gucci Iconic Logo Belt
