Same as last year, we've tapped a handful of reputable fashion friends to weigh in on 2013's greatest hits (and misses). Let's talk favorite trends.

Which trends were the apple of your eye this year?

Jeff Lahens, DressCode Boston founder: Varsity jackets were strong.

Christine Mitchell, N'East Style blogger: I love that proportion and structure is being embraced, everything isn't skin-tight anymore.

Brittany Fischer, Beauty Correspondent for Gloss48: Ombre everything.

Aliston Tomisato, PR and Marketing for W Boston: Local accessories designers: from Randolph Engineering sunglasses to Luke Aaron's private label collection of stunning leather goods on the StyleWeek Runway.

Kaitlin Madden, Lux & Concord blogger: Leather on everything. Leather leggings, leather blazers, leather t-shirts, I wear 'em all.

Tina Burgos, Covet + Lou founder: Glam streetwear. The pixie cut. Anything Celine.
