2020 is just around the corner. Here are the hottest itemsfor every holiday gift list.

We are still solidly stuck in winter… for now. But springis just around the corner, and many 2020 fashion favorites are already croppingup on shelves. Here are some of the predictions for the hottest fashion trendsin 2020, and where shoppers can find them this holiday season.

Big Collars are Back

...And not just any big collars… disco-style collars.We’re talking about the flashy, poke-someone’s-eye-out collars of decades past.Contrasting collars are particularly hot, especially on jackets. This loosefit, dropped shoulder trench coat with exactly the pointed collar everyone islooking for. The Jacquemus cotton coat can be found here.

Bold, Bright Colors

Bright, eye-popping colors go in and out of style as theseasons change… but designers say that this spring, bold colors are IN. Fromneon-pink sweaters to orange skirts, bright colors not only give consumers hopeduring the long winter ahead, but they make them easier to spot on the streetas well… or on the beach. Is it too early to think about swimwear? Never. Snagthis bright orange suit by Stella McCartney before someone else does.

Crochet All Day

Crochet is a century-old hobby… until it’s a hot fashion trend.From dresses to suits to eveningwear, open crochet is definitely updated and instyle. Not only does it look cool, but crocheted clothing has its ownsustainable edge. Crocheting is a slow, handmade technique that represents theantithesis of fast fashion. Marc Jacobs gets it. The Redux Grunge CrochetCotton Cardigan reminds us of doilies… in the best possible way.

Short Shorts

This next trend is pretty much the opposite of the age-oldslow art of crochet… You guessed it! Hot pants. Super short shorts are back onthe scene. Going full-on Daisy Duke may be a bit much for some consumers… so ifthey’d rather, they can go the classy Chanel route with an accompaniment ofblack tights. The Derek Lam 10 Crosby shorts are giving shoppers a jump-starton this trend. Find them here.

On the Fringe

Buyers can channel their inner Beatle with a 2020must-have: fringe. Fringe can be added to literally any piece, from crop topsto lightweight jackets to… dare we say it… intimate wear. Here’s a woven fringesweater from LOEWE that consumers won’t have to wait until spring to wear.

Ruff-Ruff-Ruffles

Whilewe’re on the topic of hem embellishments, we can’t leave out ruffles! Big, boldruffles debuted (again) on dresses during London’s fashion week, and the effectwas stunningly… pretty. ALEXACHUNG is cashing in on this trend with amulti-tiered ruffled skirt that is leaving no ruffle left behind.

Ombre

Did Ombre ever even leave the scene? Well, if it did(however briefly), it’s back! A simple, subtle gradient color shift isdefinitely in, especially when we’re talking about those bold, bright orangesand pinks. LI-NING takes ombre seriously with this purple hoodie, perfect forsnuggling this winter.

Rose to the Occasion

To say that floral prints would be in this spring wouldn’tbe specific enough… we’re looking specifically at rose prints. A number ofdesigners debuted rose-printed dresses that are sure to put a spring in thestep of many on the streets as winter thaws. This Prada dress is exactly thekind of rosy we’re talking about.

Is it a Coat… or aDress?

It’s both. And it’s AWESOME. The new coat dress is theperfect addition to everyone’s wardrobe because of its event versatility.Buyers no longer have to match a coat to a dress… they’ll have two in one! Thecoat dress style was popular on this season’s runways, and buyers are likely tosee a lot more of these gems next year. M.M.LaFleur’s Suzanne dress is one waybuyers can take hold of this style NOW.

SPARKLE and SHINE

There was one undeniable trend on the runways that isgoing to hit 2020 by sequin-studded storm: all of the sparkle and shine you canfind. From eye-catching shiny fabrics to added glitter and gloss, shiny is thenew black. Saint Laurent dove all the way into this trend with their MetallicSkinny Jeans.

The Sping fashion shows of this year gave us all a peekinto the top styles of 2020, but shoppers can find some of those on-trendpieces during their shopping trips this holiday season.

But some brands are fighting the season and trend-basedfashion traditions, and working to create timeless pieces that are in style allyear round. Other consumers are looking into Wardrobe Recycling, or evenlearning about how and why they should wash clothing less often. Time will tellwhether timeless pieces will win out over the long tradition of fashionseasons.
