The 8 Most Wearable Trends For Spring

If there's one type of dress you'll want to secure before the start of Spring, it's a striped knit. Regardless of silhouette, color scheme, or length, we saw so many iterations of this easy, breezy jersey essential on the runways. Dress it down with sandals for vacation, sneakers for sightseeing, or add some ornate jewelry, a luxe leather clutch, and strappy heels for an evening out. There is a flattering option for every woman and her unique sense of style. At Victoria Beckham, we even saw the three-piece option come to life, ultimately meshing into one fluid look.

While the Bermuda resurfaced in our wardrobes two seasons back with accompanying surfer vibes, we saw mostly denim styles to start and the new Bermuda short has finally come full circle, introduced on the Spring 2020 runways for every woman. Whether you prefer them with a matching blazer as part of a tailored suit (like they were at Veronica Beard, Tanya Taylor, Valentino, and Saint Laurent), or as a glamorous going out option in leather (thanks, Tom Ford), you won't be able to resist these knee-length slacks for much longer.

Statement-making sleeves staked their claim on the Spring 2020 runways, but we're not just talking about a blouson top here or a flutter-sleeve dress there. Seriously voluminous silhouettes are going to be big for Spring, from princess-like puffs seen at Prabal Gurung to bohemian iterations spotted at Zimmermann and romantic shapes that came down the Brock Collection and Carolina Herrera runways. When taking this look for a spin IRL, we love it paired it back to no-frill staples jeans, flats, and simple sandals.

Drawing from Diana Spencer's iconic style sense, and taking inspiration from the dramatic silhouettes and details of the '80s, the Spring 2020 vision includes a retro tilt reimagined with a contemporary lens. Look for bubble dresses, high-low hemlines, sharp suiting — and shoulders — to channel the vibe.

Ruched skirts that result in gathered fabric are one thing, but the cinching we saw on the runways is entirely something else. Many designers used drawstrings to create a sporty effect, finishing off an otherwise feminine silhouette with a touch of athleisure. Think of this little detail as the casual touch your evening gown, lacy set, or leather minidress needed to help you pick up the pace. It's the epitome of sport-chic.

The Fall 2019 runways gave us head-to-toe leather, but for Spring 2020, the luxe look is easing up by way of oversize silhouettes, feminine cuts, and cool colors. Yes, leather pieces will always feel standout and special, but approach new pieces casually and with a sense of nonchalance. Team leather trousers with a simple tank top and sandals. Stlye a leather dress with sneakers or minimal heels and undone hair. Wear a leather jacket half-open over low-slung jeans and a crop top for a chic reveal of skin. Offset sexy leather separates with tough boots and barely there makeup. The key takeaway when wearing leather for Spring 2020: easy does it.

Muted tones that pop?! Yes, it's a thing. These sorbet hues come highly saturated in shades of tangerine, sherbet, and cloud-colored blue. The greatest thing about this color trend for Spring 2020 is that you don't have to pick just one — play with the color wheel or seek out your favorite tones to wear with your skin tone. It's all about embracing these pops of pastel in the brilliant shades you like best.
