Trend Spotting

Fashion week is over and here are some design styles that you will be wearing next season.

In the wake of a month-long marathon of fashion shows, which came to an end early this week in Paris, it is time to draw some conclusions about the womenswear wardrobe for the winter of 2020. Neutral colours have been out in force on the catwalks for this season, but it is safe to say that red, and lots of it, will be gracing the racks of your favorite brands. 

That’s not all, there will also be oversize coats offering a chic laid-back look, black leather jumpsuits that add a little rock ‘n’ roll, and print pieces that appear to have survived intact from the 1970s. Here is a look back in pictures at the 15 key trends that have recently been shown on the runways of New York, London, Milan and Paris.
