TOP 10 FASHION TRENDS TO SHOP FOR THIS 2020

Most people are struggling with what to buy, what is worth buying and how to style new trends to suit them.

So many trends are out there and a whole lot of "influencers" are influencing the wrong way. Just to clarify on a few things, the photos you are looking at and saving as inspiration are touched up photos or garments that are pinned together. Mostly, something to think about before rushing to buy the “trend” should be “ is this style really ME ?” Or are you buying for the sake of an Instagram trend and a photo to share? It is time to re-connect with yourself and be true to yourself. It is time to unleash that inner style and personality of yours and learn how to incorporate an elegant style to your daily looks. Kardashian style is a style you WILL look back on and feel somewhat, ashamed from. Bedsides, "it is so a few seasons ago"! So ditch the KK look and ask yourself, "WHO AM I?".

Below, I am gladly talking trends with you, the 5 trends that are worth incorporating into your wardrobe and styling to suit you. For personal styling questions and personal shopping contact COCO LOUISE.

3 LOOKS TO TREND THIS 2020

1. SHORTS IN ALL FORMS

A more refined look than bicycle shorts and a blazer. Mini and knee-length Bermuda shorts have been professionally walking down the runways and looking extremely sharp. Seeing fabrics like sequin, leather, twill and tailored make an entry. This trend can cover you for occasions such as a friendly brunch to a work lunch (if wearing a Bermuda cut).

2.CAMP SHIRTS

It is more than just a travel shirt. Camp shirts are trending and the best part is they look stylish with mostly everything. From shorts, trousers, skirts and even denim! The button-down shirt is also Summer's Travel capsule. This piece is one you will need in your wardrobe and know it will last for seasons.

3.DETAILED YOKES & NECKLINES

This is a beautiful element to trend, so much uniqueness one can incorporate to their outfit and look stylish and chic. Find a yoke that suits your silhouette. If you are a "Pearl Shape" steer away from the round-shaped yokes and opt for the narrow and vertical.If you are a "Teardrop Shape" select a yoke with excessive details, such as beadwork, horizontal lines and roundness.

4.EVERYTHING BLUE

It is not just a splash of blue, it is your body wrapped in blue! Blue was a prestigious and expensive colour in European painting. It became a common colour for clothing in the renaissance. And so... here we are 2020, the rise of blue! Embracing it through a variety of textures, Chiffons, denim, leather, sequin, beadwork and embroidery. Light your eyes with the below and happy blue shop!

5.SOFT LEATHER

Vegan or non-vegan, soft leather is a highlighted trend for the season. From drawstring wide-leg pants to body-hugging bustiers. It can take your silhouette through transitioning weather and occasions. It is a textile that can be mixed with all contrasting fabric or in this case another layer of soft layering for power.

6. FRINGING

Here is a trend that is a fad, meaning, it won't last. It is one of those trends that you just cannot wear next season, until the return of the fringe... However, I have personally always loved a dazzling outfit full of fringing. Which is why I have included it. The way a fringe moves with your silhouette is alluring and bold! It adds a contrast of edge and playfulness to ones look. If head to toe fringe is just not you, then opt for a belt that has some fringing or source an item which includes a delicate frayed hem fringe. The styling tip I can suggest is to make sure the fringing is positioned on the smallest area of the silhouette. To be more specific, if the fringing is starting on the widest part of our body, it may exaggerate that part.

7. WRAP SKIRTS

Such a feminine and graceful way to enter Summer in. The wrap skirt is here as a cover-up for the beach, around the pool or to the resort bar. It is also looking elegant as casual or evening wear. Seeing tulip style wrap skirts, high slit wrap skirts and beach wraps. All styles are mostly dropped waist. However, if a drop waist does not work for your shape, high waisted are still around. The mini is great for petite women and the loose midi for those who have room to appear shorter.

8. CAFTAN SHAPED MAXI'S

Caftans are the best travel essentials, but in this case, you can throw your caftan over a sheer chemise like a poncho and head out to the shops or lunch! Another effortless look that is trés chic! Flow with soft textures such as silks, Make sure you have the right shape for you. If you are small chested, grab a high neck, if you are large chested opt for a low plunge V-Neck. Do not forget to include statement accessories!

9. WIDE & LOOSE TROUSERS

An extremely effortlessly cool and chic look. Wide leg and lose trousers may not be for all body shape. However, there are ways to make it work for you. For example, If you are petite, make sure you opt for the cropped version. This look is fresh and comfortable, styles such as a high cinched in waist to a low slung waist are in. Printed trousers and also lustrous silks. If you are wider on the hips opt for a more structured fabric over silk.

Pair these trousers with a heel for height and flats for the long legs.

10. CUT-OUTS

It is up to you how you want to trend this statement detail. In my personal opinion, it can be worn elegantly.... otherwise, some generations will automatically trend this in a gaudy way. If you are willing to give 'cut-outs' a try, find a style that can align with you and your body shape. It can be as subtle as an open cut neckline. This trend may not last, however, can still be worn with class. Remember, do not wear it, if you do not feel it.

RESORT WEAR 103 . FIND THE PERFECT HAT FOR YOU.

SWIM WITH A BRIM .


Who doesn't love a tanned face, shoulders and chest? Yup, I do!! Thankfully my skin is a little more tolerant to the sun than fair skin. However, it is still pretty dangerous for olive skin to be sitting long hours in the sun without protection too. I love wearing a hat in or by the pool.

How to select the right style hat for you:

Baseball Caps ⇢ Casual Chic
Tucker Caps ⇢ Super Cool
Visors ⇢ Very Sleek
Tubans ⇢ Just because they are stunning & stylish. (they won't protect you from the sun, but the heck with that, they are fabulous!)
Brim Hats ⇢ Extremely Suave & mysterious (Speaking of Boater Hats, if you have not seen my latest Style Video on how to trend it, you can watch it here and can thank me later...

How To Style The Boater Hat | Spring Staple ↲


I have added a mini selection below of styles that I personally adore and you should too.

Which one suits your personality? Shop it and let me know by commenting below.

VISORS:

If you don't like hat hair, then let us start with the ever so stylish Visors! These are brilliant and easy to pack in a bag, especially the roll up straw ones. The wider the brim, the more protection.

If you were to purchase a style like Dior's visor, you can be sure you will be wearing this with a linen shirt and skinny jeans or even with a puff sleeved dress and bright orange lips. Mmmm J'adore! ♡

CAPS:

Caps are not just for blokes you know. If you are feeling a little more "bad ass" then grab yourself a New Era Tucker cap. What I like about the first one is it acts like a tucker but has the shades of a lady. ( If you get what I am saying!)

If you haven't noticed, the soft leather Versace hat is on sale! Yes ladies and it is so worth it! I mean the colour screams chic and you will have this forever!

As you can see below, I recently trended the boater hat, actually I did nearly everyday of this Summer 18/19! The beauty of any brimmed hat, whether it is wide, narrow or floppy is that they can be any style you want them to be. You can wear it with an edge, or tilt it delicately off your forehead. Depending on the shape of your face and of course the style you are going for. If you are going for a more feminine look, a floppy hat is more dainty as it has softer edges.

ALMIGHTY TURBAN

I love saving best till last, just like my food! 😜


As many of you already know, I am a lover for turbans, It connects me to my Eastern roots and brings me nothing but joy seeing many women out there trending it as much as they have started to trend silk scarves in their hair... Actually, my very first YouTube video is a Turban Tying video, yes I need to re-film it as it is quite old. Wow, I actually have come a long way since...

Anyhow, here it is and below that are some luscious styles of already made turbans that you can slip on and trend from day to night.

P.s The Missoni Mare styles are a great bargain! DO IT and make me proud!
