What's on trend for spring 2020?

New season trends weren't the only thing on everyone’s lips at the Paris, Milan, London and New York's SS/20 fashion weeks. It was also about what's sustainable and green. This year, designers are pushed even more into looking at recycling, repurposing and promoting mindful purchasing. It's all about investing in clothing for longer and in 2020 we are seeing an even bigger focus on classic looks rather than looks that could potentially fall into the short-lived or fad category. With spring fast approaching, everyone is eagerly anticipating a new spring wardrobe, wanting to know: Which sustainable trends will trickle into stores in February and March, and how to accessorise outfits with ethical pieces? Let's look at what is on trend for spring 2020 and which jewellery to match with it.

What to wear for spring 2020

From classic blazers and all-white looks to button-up shirts and solid colours, the spring/summer runways were led by ageless pieces that can be worn throughout the seasons. In the spirit of timeless fashion, we're also looking at which jewellery pieces to match each trend from ethical jewellery brand, Azuni.

 

The classic, timeless look

 

Classic pieces have been a hit on the spring/summer 2020 runways. We are seeing more pieces made to be worn for years as part of the focus on sustainability. The return of the fitted blazer, the waistcoat, the short suit and the trenchcoat all presents the next wave of timeless fashion. Wear each item on its own for a subtle classic touch or create a dapper look by wearing pieces together.

Enhance classic pieces with dainty gold plate and white moonstone drop earrings. Our Mosaic Drop Stud earrings take their inspiration from an ancient Roman era, yet brought in to a modern design they will become a classic go to piece when you need to uplift your outfit.

 

Neon looks

 

To celebrate warmer weather, many designers used brighter colours for their spring ranges. We are seeing more looks in one bold colour, such as bright pink and vivid yellows and greens. While these pieces can be paired with more toned-down items, the runway has shown us that it is perfectly fine to wear two pieces in one solid colour.

With a bolder, more colourful look, a delicate piece of jewellery is ideal. The Etrusca wide curve bangle is a great choice. This bangle will add just the right amount of bling to your colourful outfit to make the perfect statement.

 

 

The all-white look

 

With the focus on sustainability, many designers are creating ranges with more clean and simple designs. Designers are also focussing on mixing fewer colours. Specifically, white pieces are becoming increasingly popular and the runways were filled with long, flowy white dresses. These pieces are the ideal investment for your wardrobe, as it can be dressed up or down with the right accessories.

The crochet look

 

Crochet is back. As designers look for more ways to become sustainable, there’s something quite special about a fashion trend that embraces heirloom-quality material and a handmade technique that can be passed down through generations.

Add a touch of shimmer with a gold vermeil jewellery piece. Gold vermeil is becoming more popular, having the same desirability of pure gold without the high price tag. Azuni's gold vermeil pieces are perfect to wear on its own to add a perfect subtle touch of bling to any outfit.

The cut-out look

 

Spring is not quite warm enough for shorts and crops, but a dress or blouse with cut-outs is the ideal solution for the rising heat. We are seeing more designers playing around with cut-out designs which subtly expose different parts of the waist and midriff. The cut-out look is by no means made to be revealing, but rather to add extra detail and flair to simpler pieces.

Cut-out pieces offer extra detail to an outfit, so there is no need for bold necklaces or earrings. Simply add extra style with some stunning finger candy. Azuni's rings can be stacked to add a bit of playfulness or worn on its own for a more elegant look.

The buttoned-up look

Tying in with the classic looks we are seeing on the runways, is the button-up shirt in softer colours. This timeless piece can be dressed up or down with any pair of pants or a skirt.
