2018 Trend Forecast: Urban Safari

Discover new colonial cool, thanks to contemporary graphic prints and a hit of high-end style.

"Embrace a spectrum of earth-inspired hues: ecru, mushroom, taupe; pair them with fresh white and bronzed accents," says HB editor Sarah Burman.

"Traditional profiles, updated in dramatic black, are paired with natural textures and abundant greenery in a trend that feels both local and global" Wendy Moore, HB editor-in-chief
