Polka-dot patterns have long been a timeless staple, never truly falling out of favor. Now, labels like Balmain and Balenciaga are reviving the print, urging fashion lovers to pair it with vibrant, eye-catching pieces for a striking, unforgettable look.
Voluminous Sleeves
Multiple design houses have spotlighted voluminous sleeves as a key 2020 trend, including Carolina Herrera, Emilia Wickstead, and Brock Collection. Though they may appear dramatic, designers argue that's precisely what draws the eye. Fashion enthusiasts should therefore add a few pieces with oversized sleeves to their closets.
Pleated Garments
Pleated items were a hit in 2019, with entire collections from Chloé and Pyer Moss centered on them. They continue to be a hot trend in 2020, especially when paired with snake print—a particularly chic combination. Opting for such pieces guarantees you'll ride the fashion wave and signal your style savvy.
Two Contrasting Hues
Did you shy away from last year's youthful trend of mismatched socks? 2020 is the year to be bold! Designers recommend pairing two contrasting—preferably vivid—shades in your outfit. Embracing this two-color approach ensures you stay on trend and make a statement.
Oversized Blazers
Oversized pieces have long had a following, so it's no shock that Balenciaga and Jacquemus are spotlighting baggy blazers in 2020. They're perfect for layering over other clothing—keeping you cozy while looking chic. And don't shy away from bright hues; they're highly trendy this season.
Floor-Length Knit Dresses
Great news for comfort and warmth lovers: maxi knit dresses that reach the heels are making a comeback—especially welcome in chilly winters. They're suitable for work, social outings, and walks with friends. The ultimate style move is pairing one with a jumper. Layering isn't just trendy; it's practical for those who dread the cold.
Wide-Leg Trousers
Joining the 2020 trend roster are loose-fitting trousers that had been somewhat overlooked. They feature prominently in collections from Marc Jacobs, Altuzarra, and Akris. For cooler months, opt for warm-toned pants; in summer, go bold with white. You'll surely turn heads!
Denim Maxi Skirts
The denim mini is giving way to the maxi length. Stella McCartney, Celine, and Marques'Almeida have already crafted stylish looks featuring them. If you think long skirts are dull, choose versions with embroidery, patchwork, or other embellishments.
Statement Trench Coats
Loose-fitting trench coats or raincoats are essential for spring and autumn 2020. Designers recommend investing in high-end versions. Yes, they'll make a dent in your budget, but this season's outerwear should be a status piece, not a bargain.
Bermuda Shorts
Knee-length shorts are suitable for both strolls and office wear. Their loose cut ensures maximum comfort. Alexander Wang and Givenchy have revived this trend. For unpredictable spring and autumn temperatures, pair Bermuda shorts with blazers, sweaters, or neutral vests.
Jumpsuits
Thanks to labels like Zimmermann and Jonathan Simkhai, comfortable jumpsuits are set to be popular again in 2020. The more they resemble workwear, the better! They require no styling—just slip one on and your outfit is complete.
Leather Pieces
Leather clothing maintains its stronghold this year. Based on Givenchy and Prada's collections, it's wise to spotlight leather pieces in your wardrobe. And it's best if they're not the usual black—designers encourage experimenting with colored leather.
Cardigans
A 2020 wardrobe wouldn't be complete without cardigans, which are making a strong comeback. Chanel, Miu Miu, and Adeam have filled their latest collections with them. To avoid a dull look, feel free to mix in prints and vibrant hues.
Buttercup Yellow
Designers have declared buttercup yellow the most fashionable color of 2020, with Nina Ricci and Jacquemus particularly enamored. If you're not ready for head-to-toe yellow, opt for standout accessories. A yellow handbag against a black ensemble can brighten the look while keeping you on trend.
