In this economy! You ask?
The word trend may be an ugly buzz word RN owing to the pandemic-hit fashion season. With a changed perspective towards consumerism and excess, here is a curated list of trends that can be adapted from classic and practical pieces with longer shelf-life, keeping sustainability and style on fleek.
From feels-like-home cozy knits to waist-up zoom-worthy pieces, here are the key trends that will define AW 2020 in this pandemic era.
Also this goes without saying #wearamask
1. Dare To Bare
Exposed everyday lingerie mixed with outerwear pieces is this season’s controversial trend. Bra tops, bustiers and peek-a-boo lingerie has taken sheer sensuality to see the light of the day. Layer it underneath a structured blazer or wear a corset over a tailored suit, and take the look from day to night with ease.
2. Camel, The New Neutral
Invest in shades of beige, camel, caramel and everything in between for tonal dressing, rather than monochrome. Hack those styling blues with these earthier hues to elevate your winter wardrobe.
3. Sweater Weather Just Got Cooler:
The the ‘90s knit vest has officially replaced the grandma cardigan. From Chandler Bing’s boring vest to the sexy librarian look, sweater vest has got the revival it deserved. Pop it over a shirt and add on your knee-high boots for that preppy cool-girl vibe.
4. Get Your Glove Game On
This fall trend has evolved from being a retro heroine’s glam accessory to a Covid essential. From knitted to elbow length, opt for your fave to go matchy-matchy with your mask and that’s it! You are fashion-ready for this pandemic season.
5. Matrix Moment
The classic leather is still one of fall’s faves. Go for a head-to-toe monochrome leather look to channel your inner Neo. Choose from long shorts or wide-leg culottes in vegan alternatives, keeping climate change in consideration.
6. Fringe All The Way
The 70’s fringes are having a major comeback as trims on outfits as well as on accessories. Take hint from your fave influencers and style this super fun trend with panache.
7. Checks & Balance
The classic tartan is here to stay this fall. Oversized or tailored, pair it with colour-pop pieces and walk the boujee way. Layer it over your sweatshirt set for a dressed-up lounge wear look.
8. Chains On Everything
The bigger the better! From bags to footwear to chunky necklaces, this trend has taken a huge soar and by far it’s one of my faves.
9. Clunky Comfort
Chunky lug-sole boots are the IT boots of this fall. From platforms to knee-high, these can be paired with your skirt suits or knit dresses.
10. Arm Candy
Think volume, drama and pumped-up puffs. The statement sleeves are having a moment this season. Make sure to check it out and let your sleeves do the talking in your virtual meetings.
Now that I have provided you with the AW cheat sheet, get styling!
