11 Fashion Trends to Try in 2020 If You Want to Look AND Feel Your Best

The return of the up-to-there minidress is imminent, with Versace taking the lead on the red carpet, dressing stars like Dua Lipa, Ciara, and Selena Gomez in little numbers that make a statement. When you find the striking silhouette that's right for you, it'll more than flatter your figure: it'll boost your confidence — so work it!

Zara Embroidered Mini Dress ($119)

ASOS DESIGN Curve long sleeve plunge mini dress with buttons in glitter ($51)

Storm Reid showed us one way it's done in Longchamp, but it won't be at all surprising to see women pairing their leather shirts with leather pants and leather boots. The style move offers your look a certain sleekness and definite fluidity.

Shein Plus PU Button Up Lapel Collar Dress ($29)

H&M Faux Leather Shirt ($35) and H&M Faux Leather Pants ($80)

The obsession with shopping vintage leads us back to oversize band tees we'll layer with multiple chain necklaces and sheer, long-sleeved shirts much like Barbie Ferreira did, emitting '90s grunge vibes.

Urban Outfitters Star Wars Vintage Darth Vader Tee ($34)

iamkoko.la Looney Tunes Side Chain Crop Tank ($58)

Yara Shahidi's Gucci version is one of the most covetable of the season, but you can shop anywhere for a floor-length number with bishop sleeves and a high, modest neckline like this one. Consider this silhouette when dressing for a wedding in 2020.

Zimmermann Super Eight Tubular Long Sleeve Linen Maxi Dress ($1,150)

Neon Rose Plus maxi smock dress with button front in patchwork print ($54, originally $67)

Whether you mix and match like Justine Skye or keep it monochrome and matchy is up to you. When we think "athleisure" in 2020, we'll be thinking less of leggings and more of tapered '90s "mom" sweats that show off our '90s mom sneakers.

ASOS DESIGN Curve tracksuit sweat / basic jogger with tie with contrast binding ($51)

Cotton Citizen Brooklyn Crop Zip ($215) and Cotton Citizen Brooklyn Cargo ($355)

Many women are shopping for vintage, logo versions of these ultraflattering going-out tops that hug your curves — just like the one Jordyn Woods has on. Avoid shapes that are so tight you can barely breathe, and instead choose an option that adds comfortable structure to your look.

Miaou Leia Corset ($225)

Vintage Vivienne Westwood S/S 1992 Pink Satin Salon Corset Top ($3,555, originally $3,950)

Do we really have to call out the undeniable glow a metallic knit will lend you? The shimmer of metallic thread has a smoothing effect and will make those around you feel like dancing.

Shein Plus Surplice Wrap Belted Pleated Glitter Dress ($27)

& Other Stories Metallic Midi Wrap Dress ($99)

We've got no time for sweaters that aren't soft and luxe as can be. This season, search for something Cher Horowitz from Clueless would've worn, and pair it with your high-waisted denim. If you can find a cropped knit that extends just to the bottom of your torso but doesn't show skin, then you've found a winner.

ASOS DESIGN Curve off shoulder cardigan ($40)

Topshop Camel and Black Animal Marking Knitted Cardigan ($75)

While monochrome dressing in bold colors of the rainbow was big for 2019, we're seeing a significant return to black-and-white statement outfits this year, along with romantic, feminine dresses that are comprised of both colors.

ASOS DESIGN Curve 2 in 1 sweat dress with spot hem and cuff ($29, originally $45)

Reformation Wallflower Dress ($248)

If the obsession with Sleeper's feathered two-piece set is any indication, women will keep their PJs in rotation for going out. Why wouldn't you feel confident and comfortable in something you literally wear to sleep? Just make sure your out-on-the-town co-ords really shine. The feathers do help!

Sleeper Blue PJ Set With Feathers ($320)

Valentino - Piped printed silk crepe de chine pants ($990, originally $1,980)

Yes, even when it comes to suiting, crop tops are back in a big way. We're seeing a return to tie-up belly shirts and slub tees that bare skin, too. Wide-leg, pooling trousers help you strike that necessary balance when it comes to putting together a streamlined look.

COLLUSION cropped pinstripe blazer ($56)

ASOS DESIGN Curve cropped utility suit blazer in orange ($83)
