While many advocate for conscious consumption and a return to timeless classics, the autumn-winter 2020/2021 collections prove that fashion retains its rebellious edge. Designers are presenting audacious trends and statement pieces that refuse to fade. GoSeekNest embraces this spirit and has curated seven fall 2020 fashion trends you're bound to appreciate.
The 7 Fall 2020 Fashion Trends You Need to Know
Fringe Returns
Fringe makes a dramatic comeback this fall 2020. Oversized and impossible to ignore, it adorns clothing and accessories in its most daring form. That means one thing: it's high time to revisit this detail, as it instantly elevates any outfit to maximum impact. The likely catalyst for this unexpected revival is Prada's constant trendsetting—this trim dominated the fashion house's latest collection, signaling who's leading the charge next season. This time around, fringe appears on everything, from classic Wild West styles to elegant 1920s-inspired pieces.
Vests Make a Comeback
Autumn is here, and with it comes the resurgence of preppy style. Vests are back—chunky, knitted, and eye-catching. This trend actually started in spring, when bloggers began sporting them heavily. Such a beloved piece is incredibly practical: it keeps you warm and allows for layered looks. The most stunning vests of the season come from Prada, Lacoste, Gucci, and Dior. With such heavyweight names behind them, there's no question: this item is a must-have for every fashion enthusiast.
Queen and Warrior Era
We understand the need and logic of focusing on classic pieces—they're a wise investment and a safe choice for both designers and consumers. Yet our desire to dress up, make occasionally impulsive purchases, and embrace theatricality persists, even amid crises. This is reflected in fashion's time machine accelerating this season, transporting us back to the 15th and 16th centuries and evoking the muses of those eras—Joan of Arc and Mary Stuart.
Purple + Raspberry Color Blocking
The striking combination of purple and raspberry will be everywhere this season—on magazine pages, fashion blogs, and Instagram. I hope it becomes a highlight of your autumn wardrobe; designers seem to have conspired to present exactly this color pairing. For some, such a bold mix may seem contradictory, but for inspiration, check out the shows from Saint Laurent or Bottega Veneta—your doubts will vanish :).
Bohemian Chic Revival
It was clear this trend would make the list, as it's built on elegant outfits with a light folk vibe—a hybrid of hippie chic and the wardrobe of a carefree bourgeois. Materials, detailing, fit—there are dozens of interesting elements to explore, and ultimately you might want to try something similar yourself. This style suits everyone without exception and stands as a bold statement against the backdrop of a modern metropolis!
Lantern Sleeves
Lantern sleeves have evolved into true lanterns! These are no longer just padded shoulders but full oversized sleeves. Examples can be found in collections from Fendi, Balenciaga, and Givenchy—essentially all the major names in fashion. The love for this detail is hard to explain—perhaps it's the elegance these sleeves lend to an outfit, or a touch of theatricality. Either way, take note: they no longer surprise anyone with their presence, having become quite everyday and requiring no special occasion.
Tiny Check Patterns
While sleeves are growing larger, the ever-popular check print is shrinking. Admit it—in this size, the check looks incredibly elegant and charming, especially in a beige palette. Wear it with textured accessories and black or brown leather shoes: playing with contrasts is the right move here.
