What fashions are in vogue for the fashion conscious female
WE women are always interested in new season trends, so the Corkman asked Joan for her insights on the predominant trends that are emerging for summer 2020.
“It’s the ’70s all over again. I remember Cher and Olivia Newton John in their bellbottoms, bandanas and boho dresses. This was also the era of the trouser suit, sharp-collared shirts, and the midi skirts with knee high boots” she said.
In addition, the following items are also trending:
Trouser suits
- ‘ The trouser suit wave is always in and out of popularity, this summer we see it teamed with shorts’
– ‘are here to stay!’
Culottes Leather and vegan leather
– Everything from coloured leather trench coats, to shirts to cropped paper-bag trousers.
Fashion’s love affair with trench coats
- ‘ That practical, dependable, goes-with-everything outerwear option shows no signs of abating. ‘ This season it comes in lots of colour ways’.
- ‘ The classic blazer with shoulder pads and sharp tailoring’.
– ‘for Summer… Ground-breaking, loads of choice, from Bermuda shorts to the
Blazers Denim
kick-flares of the ‘70s’. -
Button-down shirts White Dresses Tropical fronds Pantone colours -
‘Happy days for shirt lovers everywhere.
Waistcoats - Cut tight to the body and worn with billowing shirts and wide-legged trousers’.
- ‘Wafty midi-lengths with lace and bows, white shirt dresses with big belts to cinch in the waist’.
- Remember that famous Versace tropical-printed chiffon creation that J-Lo wore to the Grammy’s (and that broke the Internet back in 2000).
Something for all colour palettes. Orange, saffron and olive works best on autumnal skin tones. Coral pink, beautiful on blondes. Scarlet and classic blue work for everybody. Neon is also a big trend if you have the personality to carry it off!’
“There is something here for everyone. I have picked the main trends that will carry over to the winter season and into spring summer 2021,” said Joan.
