When writing our spring summer 2020 trend report, we could have never anticipated the way life as we know it would change. While many of the buyers’ predictions about holiday clothes and wedding guest outfits are now irrelevant to the current climate, there are several items that are proving to be just as popular, despite not being able to be worn outside.
“The large majority of the runway collections have been incredibly wearable, the brands have showcased the ultimate wardrobing heroes in a new and interesting way: the suit, the Bermuda short, the white shirt, the tank top…” said Elizabeth von der Goltz, Global Buying Director at Net-a-Porter, back in December.
There has been a shift towards simplicity rather than anything too attention seeking within fashion circles, partly driven by the industry’s heightened focus on sustainability. There are three classic items in particular that editors, buyers and influencers are still embracing for the summer, and are still easy to wear inside and for daily walks—platform flip flops, puff-sleeved dresses and elegant polo shirts.
