Runway trends SS20

The It decade for the spring 2020 fashion trends is definitely the 1970s. 70s-inflected pieces are more wearable than ever before, thanks to an abundance of streamlined suits and easy-to-wear midi dresses. Forget funky colour combinations and embrace geometric-patterned jacquards, sharp disco collars, groovy denim and languid long dresses. These are clothes to last a lifetime. Time to channel your inner stage idol with Jagger-worthy silhouettes — including the perfect pair of flares.

When it comes to trouser and footwear trends, history tends to repeat itself. Therefore, the wave of ’70s-inspired pants and flare jeans means platform heels are due to gain momentum in 2020. Expect square-toe loafers, tall boots and open-toe sandals to receive the platform heel treatment.
