You didn't think we'd wait until next year to scoop up the splashiest trends of 2016, did you? Sure, we may procrastinate when it comes to washing laundry and paying rent, but we pride ourselves in abandoning that bad habit when it comes to shopping. And now that we're ready to show this year's trends the door (we all agree that lace-up bodysuits are on their way out, right?), it looks like we've got some closet space to fill.So, to put you ahead of the curve for next season, we combed through the spring '16 runway trends that happen to be on the market right now. In between gift hunting for your sister-in-law and the random coworker you drew for Secret Santa, be on the lookout for the 12 items ahead. Each piece offers the ultimate style refresh, like mixed-metal frames, geometric '80s accessories, and more. Thanks to our beauty crew at Maybelline, we're sprinkling in tools to master the latest makeup trends, too. Sorry, 2015, but we're kind of over you.
Slip Dresses
This sleek silhouette is always a smart move. Pick it up now and layer a thin turtleneck underneath to make it work for the chilly weather.
Mega Drop Earrings
Give your minimal studs a break this season with sparkling drop earrings. We love this monochrome silver pair because they go with almost anything.
Frayed-Hem Denim
This jean style has been creeping into our hearts over the past few months. If you can't plunge headfirst into the dog-ate-my-pants look, try a subtle raw hem like this.
Nude Eyeliner
Instead of lining your waterline with a white pencil, try a nude shade. This insider trick will make your eyes pop and look wide-awake, even in the dead of winter.
Bomber Jackets
Slip this bad boy into your outerwear rotation for a fun alternative to your parka or peacoat.
Pins & Patches
We're sensing an '80s revival with these playful geometric pins. The pastel shapes will dress up your denim jacket and tote bag with a soft spring touch.
Fishnets
A new texture for socks and tights is coming to you in the form of fishnets. Ease into the trend by having netted socks peek out of your ankle boots for a subtle game-changer.
Metal & Acetate Combo Frames
It's less about the shape of frames this season and more about the materials. A metal and acetate pair combines two frames we love to create a totally wearable trend piece.
Backless Loafers
Slip-ons laid the foundation for this new shoe shape. The backless loafer is going to be everywhere come spring. Try these burgundy ones now with cozy socks or tights and be able to say you “had 'em back when.”
Matte Lip Color
While most people tend to associate matte textures with fall and winter exclusively, the spring runways were overrun with the matte lips trend, too. Now the long-lasting formula is available in all sorts of bright, bold colors, making it the easiest beauty trend to hop on to combat winter's bite.
Chunky Chain Accents
Heavy-duty chain accents bring an edgy finish to any look. Expect to see 'em on handbags, chokers, and atop leather boots.
Off-The-Shoulder Tops
The new blouse silhouette is all about revealing just a little skin. Find a more voluminous top to contrast bare shoulders.
Edit Trapeze Off Shoulder Top, $285, available at If Chic.
