Fashion Trends to Look Out for in 2020

Yes, 2019 was great and all but come on… The trends were so last year. It’s time to open up our closets to new hot fashion fads that will be all the rage this year. I mean of course we’re going to carry some of our favourites into the new decade, but it’s time to switch things up a little. We predict that 2020 is going to be fresh, strong, and luminous—and it’s crucial for our clothes to match the vibe.

If you’re a fashionista who loves staying up to date on the latest and greatest, or if you simply like to plan your looks ahead, we’ve come to deliver your fashion forecast. Here is a list of upcoming trends that will help bring in the new year and the new you!

Highlighter Hues

Bold and spontaneous, neon shades are going to highlight the streets of 2020—especially green. This adventurous trend is fun, flirty, and makes a vibrant statement. Whether you’re rocking a full-on fluorescent dress or adding a subtle hint of drama, such as a neon accessory, your outfit will brighten up the day.

Next Level Polka Dots

We know what you’re thinking. No, not your average juvenile polka dots or those old lady polka dots—we’re talking posh polka dots.

Suit Your Style

We aren’t new to the suit trend, and we aren’t over it either. Bring in all the suits you can, because 2020 is not falling short of suit mania. This masculine meets feminine vibe is serving looks and we just can’t get enough of it.

Shine On in Metallics

Whether you love it or hate it, you’re going to have to get used to seeing a lot of it. Shiny fabrics galore are coming your way this Spring/Summer 2020 and it’s going to be electrifying.

Caught in Crochet

I hope you saved those ponchos your grandma crocheted for you because the netting trend is back on board. Expect to see netted designs from beloved designers this year. From skirts to dresses and accessories to shoes…

Bralettes and Blazers, Oh My

Prepare to wear nothing but a bralette top underneath your blazer this Spring/Summer. Show off your mid-riff—but make it professional. You can also take ideas from runway designers and pair some high-waisted pants or shorts with it for more coverage.

Colourful Leather

Every designer seems to be playing with buttery, soft leather in 2020. Be on the look-out for jewel-tone leather dresses, skirts, pants, blazers, jackets, etc.

Sexy Slits

High-rise jeans? More like high-rise slits. Skirt slits seem to be sky-high for the new decade—clearly setting new standards. This sexy, elevated look can also help on those scorching hot summer days to come. You can style this in accordance of how much coverage you’d prefer.

And there you have it, 2020 trends to try out for yourself! Out with the old, in with the new. But don’t be fooled, these are merely just a few of the fashion styles you will spot this year. Stay tuned for more insight.
