The fashion industry may have taken a backseat owing to the unprecedented outbreak followed by months of lockdown but there is good news for those who cannot wait to dress in the latest summer styles and trends. Since we are all staying within the safety of our homes, dressing up for an event or a party has completely gone redundant.
As we sit staring at our wardrobes and crying inside about not being able to dress up, there’s still light at the end of the tunnel. The current time may seem placid and bleak but let me assure you that we do have a good era of fashion waiting in line for us. Even within the confinement of our homes, we have, time and again daydreamed about mixing and matching our favourite pieces and inventing the next personal fashion game for ourselves.
If you think that you have missed out on the latest spring/summer collection for 2020, you do not need to worry.
A sneak-peek into how the fashion lineage is going to adopt for this year’s summer season has already been showcased in September 2019, predicting the revamped look of our wardrobes.
As we were just settling in our PJs and home clothes, we crossed paths with the exquisite and eccentric summary of what SS20 collections will look like. And keeping in mind the undeniable snugness of cosy outfits that tick the boxes of work-from-home dress code comfort, one can easily sketch a draft of what their wardrobe will metamorphose into this summer.
The days of the lockdown have been stressful for all of us but with such a stretched time, we have got accustomed to staying indoors. However, days gets extremely monotonous but with this guide, your days can be sparked up as you plan about the changes in your wardrobe once the lockdown is revoked. Here are 11 trends that will take the fashion industry and its consumers by storm as this year’s spring/summer collection as soon as there is purpose in dressing up and going out!
Accentuated Bra
Summer is all about taking risks with fashion and showing off that toasty tan. And we all know that summer is the peak season for all our bold and statement fashion elements to come out of or get included in our wardrobe. Even though for a brief time, 2019 was the year of sultry thongs. But 2020 is opening new gates for the brassier and it is even more tantalizing. From sequin accents to exposed bandeaus, this summer, bras will make a comeback as statement pieces and how!
Puff Sleeves
Puffed sleeves have gone up and down the fashion ladder although they occupied a significant scope of revival just last year. But 2020 will experience a drastic comeback of the vintage puffed sleeve like it is no one’s business. Puffs can be created across the length of the sleeves in numerous design variations from a shoulder focussed inflation or a uniform one. But whichever way we like it, puffed sleeves are here to rule the summer of 2020.
Covered Ankles
Important influences from collective street style, wrapped or covered ankles have been donned by many fashion enthusiasts over the last few months. Tying sandal straps around the trouser may look like a bad fashion choice at a glance, but big designer houses have found influence in making this bizarre style into a global fashion trend. Experts say that this style is going to stay for the long-term and will be hot this summer.
Drawstrings
The runway for spring/summer 2020 saw models sporting the drawstring extensively. And what can be more customisable than a drawstring? Be it with shorts, jackets, or anywhere else for that matter, the fashion industry is ready to endorse drawstrings.
Hued Leather
Particularly metallic hues on leather were all over the place during the SS20 runway show from trench coats to trousers, jackets to bag, and more. Metallic enamel on one of your attire elements of an accessory like a bag is usually a statement piece and will work wonders alongside the muted tones of the rest of your outfit.
Eccentric Trench Coat
Another statement piece, a trench coat has been a constant part of our wardrobes since times immemorial. But now, the classic design has been revamped into more feminine finishes in prints, colours, or pleats making individuality out of this androgynous piece of clothing.
Transparent Layers
See-through fabrics are getting used to create a bolder and more experimental statement this summer. Layer it with an underneath top or bralette or play with fabrics and textures. Take cues from the fashionistas to dress in sheer layers.
Low-Slung
It is time to bid farewell to high-waists and welcome a looser, and more comfortable low-slung tailoring. Elegant shoes will change the whole shabby look.
The One for the Fashion Maximalist
Go crazy with power prints like giant floral, oversized polka dots, and contrasting hues that have been quite popular in this season’s sun way. For a maximalist, there is nothing called going OTT.
Ruching
The prediction of the SS20 runway is that ruching will see a shift from necks and wrists to the torso this summer. It is a great way to change the whole idea of a simple dress by adding some shape and texture.
