BEST OF ASOS
THE ASOS 2019 ROUND-UP
6 January 2020
It’s safe to say that 2019 was a mega year for ASOS. We worked with some of the freshest talents (like Madison Beer and Swae Lee), collaborated with The Beauty Awards, launched our eco and modest edits... the list goes on (and on). Not to mention the ton of trends that infiltrated our New in, from neon and 90s vibes to extreme heels and mini bags. Want to know more? For the full lowdown on our standout moments of 2019 (and some mind-blowing figures), check out our round-up below...

BRIDAL
Thousands of brides walked down the aisle in ASOS this year. Our standout style? The ASOS EDITION wedding dress above – more than 3,500 of you agreed it was the one for your big day.

HAIR CLIPS
Hair clips had a massive moment last year and we sold 150,000 of 'em – with faux-pearl being the standout across 71 different styles. And you guessed it: they're not going anywhere for 2020... the bigger and more extra, the better.
