Retail is one of the largest industries in the world, and it continues to see rapid growth. 2020 calls for new fashion trends. So, what’s coming this year?
Womenswear
Most women adore shopping, and fashion trends in 2020 will give your wardrobes a dash of freshness and vibrancy more than ever. You can welcome this new decade with some 2020 staples that are a must-have.
- Puffy Sleeves
Want to give your outfit a more dramatic flair? Put on some puffy sleeves for that extra oomph to your outfit.
- Polka Dots
Let’s face it—polka dots are forever. In 2020, you’re going to see more of them! Polka dots are perfect for women who love patterns but don’t want them too much out there.
- Pleats
Coming in hot this season is pleats. Pleats graced the runways in 2020, which only means it’s going to be a thing this season. So, if you’re looking to add some swish to your outfit, wear some pleats.
- Statement Trench Coats
We’ve seen it in the latter part of 2019, and statement trench coats are here to stay. This year, they will be a mix of the old and the new with a few tweaks to make them unique for the decade.
- Shades of Yellow
There are a lot of colours in 2020, but yellow seems to dominate the scene. The most popular is the pastel shade of yellow, the buttercup yellow. Many fashion designers have adopted this colour into their clothing line, which makes it a colour must-have in 2020.
- Midi / Maxi Denim Skirts
You might want to give your jeans a rest as denim skirts take on the spotlight in 2020. What makes them even better is that the trendy denim skirts are in just the right lengths, which makes them perfect to wear in all types of weather (without fear of getting cold).
- Utility Jumpsuits
The best thing about jumpsuits is that it’s an entire outfit already. That means you don’t have to worry if your top matches your bottom or the other way around. This year, there is a utility jumpsuit trend that provides comfort yet remains fashionable.
Menswear
Gear up, gentlemen, because it’s time to update your wardrobe with these incoming fashion trends in 2020.
- Monochromatic Suits
Gone are the days when men only wear black suits (hello, Men In Black?). In 2020, it’s time to be more adventurous and tp explore other suit colours that are truly eye-catching.
- Sheer Tops
Show off the body that you’ve been working hard for at the gym with a sheer top. In 2020, we want to see more of that bod without completely going topless. After all, an air of mystery will always encourage a chase.
- Vests
This year, you can wear more vests, even without the suit. Spice up an everyday outfit with a vest, and for sure, you’ll be striking as soon as you step out the door.
These are some of the retail fashion trends in 2020 that you should definitely watch out for. Time to go shopping!
