I wouldn’t necessarily call myself a big ~planner~, but when it comes to keeping an eye out for upcoming trends, I like to think I’m pretty capable. I mean, I’m the sort of person who plans her fall wardrobe in spring, so you know I’ve already got my eye on what trends we can all expect to see on everyone this year. While, of course, everything is a bit of a guessing game, checking out designer runways can help predict the 2020 fashion trends. (Plus, they’re just fun to peruse for outfit inspiration.) If you didn’t really pay much attention to the 2019 runway shows for Spring/Summer 2020 or Fall/Winter 2020, have no fear. I took a good, long look at what designers will be offering in the next year and put together a list of 12 different fashion trends we’ll all see throughout 2020.
Whether you’re someone who likes to plan their wardrobes months in advance or just like to keep ahead of the trends, you’re sure to find what you’re looking for below. From the runways of Caroline Herrera, Off-White, Miu Miu and more, there are so many trends of which to be aware. Get ready to don some ruffles, polka dots and colorful leather ensembles in 2020. These trends are big, bold and statement-making. 2020 is leaving absolutely no one in the shadows.
