Sun gloves by Eclipse? Those who like a bit of Vitamin C in their fashion diet will be pleased at the amount of bright orange set to hit the shelves over the next few months. Designers have a tendency to showcase fun, vibrant colours in the spring – which is one reason neon is likely to work well in the early part of this year. But there’s another prominent and somewhat garish colour in town for 2020, in the form of tangerine. “This specific shade of orange works for casualwear, such as shorts and sweaters, but was also a favourite for fancier pieces, such as dresses or ruffled tops,” wrote InStyle’s Samantha Sutton.
How green is your catwalk? How sustainable is your vision? How circular is your economy? All were questions that proved more potent than any of the myriad spring/summer 2020 trends on trial during the biannual show season, as one of the most polluting industries on the planet struggled to get with the climate crisis programme. Never mind that newness, fashion’s lodestar, is suddenly out of step with the zeitgeist. Now, brands need to be clever: how can they repurpose, upcycle, and promote mindful purchasing while still delivering the shot of novelty that will hold customers’ fleeting attention spans and persuade them to dip into their wallets?
It’s common for a particular decade to surface as the major inspiration behind a collection, but when you see designer after designer send out models that look like they just stepped out of an episode of That ’70s Show, we know something’s up. What now feels almost a tad necessary among the ongoing rise of simpler bourgeois dressing is the colorful stark contrast of mod prints, bohemian layers, and retro accessories straight out of the ’70s. From Victoria Beckham’s more buttoned-up approach to Louis Vuitton’s retro minis and decadent layering, this is one decade we’re expecting fashion girls to channel from their heads (aka giant sunglasses) to their toes (aka clogs).

Let’s talk a few spring 2020 trends in the fashion world. Bra-Top Craze: Crop tops are no longer cutting it—the bra top has officially entered the party. From crochet iterations at Dior and Giambattista Valli to a more daring sheer number at Loewe, bikini dressing comes in all textures and styles. Just add a high-waisted skirt and you’ve got the perfect summer look. Make it ultra feminine by styling a ruffle-embellished bra top with a high-waisted midi skirt, as spotted on the Lanvin runway. Two trends in one? With the bra-top trend being invariably revealing, it is best to pair it more concealing items (unless, of course, you’re on island). Some choice items include long, pleated trousers, Chesterfield coats, and high-waisted anything.
