From dresses to tops, show-stopping sleeves were a major hit on designer runways for Spring 2020 with '80s and early '90s influences reigning supreme. When trying this trend out IRL, be sure to balance out the proportion of your sleeves with a slimmer fit on bottom, be it a body-skimming skirt or slim-fit jeans.

Leather came down designer runways in just about every form imaginable: dresses, skirts, and long shorts, plus top-to-toe styling via suits and coordinating shirt-and-trouser sets. When translating this trend to real life, simply go for a single leather piece and work it into your outfit lineup, including closet basics like tees, sweaters, blazers, and jeans. If you're a little more adventurous, try the head-to-toe look, but with minimal pieces with clean lines to ensure a sophisticated effect.
