Fast-changing fashion trends can be hard to keep up with – but how many of these must-have pieces do you have hanging in your closet?

The top ten best-selling items of 2018 have been revealed in a new report, and far from being wardrobe staples, they include a pair of rubber sliders, a £270 belt and some futuristic-looking high top trainers.

That’s according to Lyst.com, who have published the latest instalment of their quarterly index listing the most sought-after pieces of the season.

The report, produced in partnership with The Business of Fashion, ranks fashion’s hottest brands and biggest products.

Balenciaga’s £495 Speed trainer has made the list of 2018’s top-selling items on a Lyst report, produced in partnership with The Business of Fashion, ranking fashion’s hottest products

Disco ready! Maison Margiela’s sequin ankle boots (around £2,000, left) and Gucci’s rubber sliders (£180, right) also made the list

Topping the list of best-selling products is Louis Vuitton’s classic Neverfull bag – but with a price tag of £920 and upwards, savvy shoppers appear to be snapping up ‘pre-owned’, or second-hand models.

The popular tote was closely followed by a pair of metallic sneakers from Golden Goose, sequin-covered ankle boots and a pink bomber jacket from Acne.

A pair of high-top trainers, a sports hoodie and a pair of Topshop Joni jeans also made the list. 

According to the global fashion search platform, Spanish fashion house Balenciaga is officially the ‘hottest brand in fashion’, beating luxury label Gucci to second place.

This £270 Gucci belt is a bestseller according to Lyst, who have just published the latest instalment of their quarterly Index listing the most sought-after pieces of the season

Meanwhile, trendy French label Vetements climbed two places to take third position and Off-White – the brainchild of Louis Vuitton’s latest recruit Virgil Abloh – has maintained its place in the top five hottest brands.  

It beat Valentino, Dolce & Gabbana and Kanye West’s label Yeezy to take one of the top spots.
