Right now, London Spring/Summer 2020 fashion week—which took place last September—probably feels like a very, very distant memory. It was back before the term ‘social distancing’ was used in our daily vernacular, and the need to strategically plan a once-a-day walk was an absolute necessity. When the thought of crowded rooms filled with editors and influencers seemed completely normal, and hugs and handshakes were just a regular friendly greeting.
However, despite the fact those runways feel a world away, many of their lessons are more relevant today than ever. From colours predictions to clothing trends, September’s collections acted as a crystal ball, enabling us to understand what would be most in-demand over the next few months.
In terms of colour, the runways were filled with a mixture of calming sky blues and shades of shocking pink (you can thank JW Anderson for the former and Jacquemus for the latter). Of course, as you’d expect with any summer runway, crisp white and sandy beige were also heavily prevalent, seen across voluminous dresses, linen shirts and tailored trousers.
While less popular on the runway, lime green has also proven itself to be a contender for shade of the season, as several members of the fashion set have recently been seen sporting the summery hue. So whether you’re looking to update your existing colour palette, or simply feel the need to be in the know, keep scrolling for five shades you’re about to see everywhere this summer.
