10 MUST HAVE TRENDS OF 2020

As we say goodbye to one decade and enter another, we explore all your must have pieces, from polka dots all the way through to a 90s comeback we have you covered!

So, you find yourself bouncing between lock downs and working from home. While our top must haves for 2020 are very different to what we expected we have you covered on how to stay comfortable while staying on the trend train. We are getting you back into your fashion groove with our fashion insiders top tips for 2020 while embracing our ‘New Normal’.

1. The Puffer Jacket

If there is one jacket you invest in this season, it has to be the puffer jacket. This big, oversized insulated must have is the warmest and coolest thing you will wear this season. Pair it with your active wear sneakers to make all your outfits look effortlessly cool.

2. Mask it up

Rewind 2 years, and if you told us there would be a mask on our must have list, we would have run for the hills. Yet here we are turning our current situation into a fashion statement. It’s no surprise leading designers have quickly turned a wardrobe essential into a beautified fashion piece.

3. Polka Dots

Although it remains a constant in many of our wardrobes, this season, designers including Gucci and Marc Jacobs played with the classic print by moving beyond the usual black-and-white combo to something more oversized and bold.

4. Décolletage neckline

When it comes to necklines, it's all about showing off as much décolletage and shoulder as possible – think off the shoulder shirts, square, and slashed necklines – we've got the resurgence of Nineties minimalism to thank for this one.

5. Puffed sleeves

With a slight revival last year, puffed sleeves are even bigger for 2020. Whether it's a swell at the shoulder (thank you Balmain) or a more gradual puff to the sleeve, it's a trend you've got to add to your post-lockdown summer wardrobe.

6. Loungewear

Lounge wear has taken on its own personality in 2020. While many of us are stocking up on these basics for our time in lockdown, you will see a hybrid version coming through post lock down. From luxe-looking pants to elevated hoodies there is something very chic about these comfy pieces. We have no doubt we will see loungewear make its transition into the outside world sooner rather than later.

7. Glass Chains

Admit it, when you read ‘glasses chains’ you instantly thought of that photograph of your grandmother in the 70s rocking that floral dress, huge oversized glasses with chains and you automatically cringed! With high end brands like Chanel and Gucci jumping on the bandwagon you will be anything but cringeworthy sporting this latest trend.

8. Wind Breakers

This very functional piece which we traditionally saw in our dads’ wardrobe has made its way into every runway collection. Expect to see the windbreaker reinvented for a few seasons yet. With its functional and light-weight fabric its forecast to stick around for a while.

9. Activewear Sets

Let’s face it, we moan and groan about almost everything during this pandemic, however wearing activewear daily is not one of them. Long sleeve crop tops are the answer to cute tops while bringing you super comfort. Team it back with your matching leggings and you have yourself an outfit. Brands like Etched have all your activewear set needs covered.

10. Baseball Caps

Celebrities such as Victoria Beckham and Ariana Grande have never let us forget about the trusty baseball cap, however while most of us a sporting a not so deliberate version of balayage and not to mention the occasional grey strand that has set up camp on our roots, there has never been a better time to bring out the baseball cap.
