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.

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.
