10 New Fashion Trends to Wear for AW20

If you loved the fun fusion of retro maximalism and neutral minimalism that made up the Spring/Summer 2020 fashion trends, we’ve got some great news for you.

Autumn/Winter 2020 is bringing us more of the same (with a few extra details thrown in for the Christmas party season!).

Some of the SS20 mega movements are even sticking around. (We’re talking about leather, all-black ensembles and puffed sleeves, to name a few!)

That said, to be honest, we’re more excited about the following 10 new fashion trends for AW20.

1. Check It Out

New fashion trends for AW20 101: checked patterns.

In fact, checks were seen on practically every catwalk from Dries Van Noten to Saint Laurent, Miu Miu to Dior, in a multitude of hues.

Whether you choose to don a timeless tartan, summer-like gingham or a more season-appropriate heritage option, one thing’s for sure: any check goes.

2. Jewel Tones

Forget pastels — jewel tones are back in full force for AW20.

Oh, and did we mention that they’re a wonderful way to brighten up your winter wardrobe?

Emporio Armani initially paved the way with super-smooth emerald and sapphire velvet suits. Then there was Preen showcasing ruby red frocks perfect for a festive-themed party.

Too bold for your personal style? Not to worry. You can always throw on your favourite LBD with some jewel-coloured shoes or accessories.

Sorted.

 

3. Pretty Ponchos

Sure, not all heroes wear capes. However, according to Marie Claire, they do at fashion week.

That’s right — the poncho has returned for AW20. And this time, it’s cooler than ever.

From checked and classic wool options at Celine to oversized and luxurious silk versions at Roksanda, it’s all about using your outerwear to outshine this season.

 

4. Mesmerising Metallics

Speaking of shimmer, an old Autumn/Winter favourite is back on the fashion map for AW20.

Last year, sequins reigned supreme. Although, this year, designers have favoured metallic leathers and accented details a la JW Anderson.

Models were also sent down the Marco de Vincenzo runway in lame fabrics and matte beading.

Essentially, for your next wintry night out with the girls or your partner, think: the glitzier, the better!

 

5. Puffer Coat Chic

Remember puffer jackets being everywhere for AW19? Well, they’re going nowhere fast.

And they’ve just had an injection of luxe.

Case in point: the quilted black hero piece at Chanel, or the chic camel variety at Max Mara.

Well, what can we say? The puffer coat is warm, snugly — and now undeniably chic.

 

6. A Tassel Affair

A few seasons back, we all lusted after tassel earrings that blew up in popularity thanks to the blogosphere.

Think of that level of hysteria and multiply it by 100, because tassel clothing is about to dominate the style scene.

The fluffy coat with fringed hems at the Bottega Veneta show has been fondly nicknamed “the jellyfish coat.”

Likewise, Roksanda’s finer-tasselled jumpers and skirts were making fashionistas everywhere do the heart-eyed emoji.

Whether you wear it in the form of a statement separate for nighttime affairs or pick a one-piece to create a cute and a casual look, always remember one of this season’s mantras: fringe is fabulous!

 

7. Ruffle It Up

We couldn’t get through a list of new fashion trends for AW20 without mentioning feminine detailing.

In addition to the puffed-sleeves-princess look extending from SS20, ruffles are also coming in hot.

Think: tulle and chiffon structures at Giambattista Valli coupled with off-the-shoulder elements at Loewe that equal elegant romance.

On the other hand, do you fancy yourself as a bit of a rock chick? Be inspired by Louis Vuitton and pair a ra-ra skirt with a biker jacket for a fiercer take on the trend.

Either way, it’s a win-win!

 

 

8. Lady in Red

Sure, an influx of merry red isn’t a new notion for the Autumn/Winter season.

Having said that, we don’t think we’ve ever seen it so prominent and so garish at this time of year.

From vivacious vinyls at Maison Margiela to soft satins at Alexander McQueen, the designers made it very easy to fall in love with red for AW20.

 

9. The Belted Blazer

Wondering what the new fashion trends for AW20 are in terms of tailoring? Well, wonder no longer.

The blazer dress may have started to show up all over social media just a couple of months ago. But it’s about to take a fresh form thanks to designers such as Carolina Herrera, Michael Kors and Jil Sander.

Step forward, the belted blazer.

Whether long in length or shorter, this idea adds a ladylike touch to the typical androgynous suiting trends.

And we’re obsessed.

 

10. Skirt-Suit Bougie

Lastly, speaking of making suits more womanly, you can say goodbye to the traditional trouser and hello to the bourgeois skirt!

It’s about injecting upper-middle-class style into your usual tailored aesthetic but in ageless hues. 

Feeling stuck? Take inspiration from Michael Kors, Victoria Beckham and Gabriela Hearst, who championed beige, grey and black skirt suits on their catwalks.

Now go show your office that you mean business.

 

Getting to Grips with the New Fashion Trends for AW20

The great thing about most of the new fashion trends for AW20 is that they’re not just pretty — they’re also practical.

Whether your personal style is more playful or serious in nature, there’s something for everyone to get on board with.

HAIR NECESSITIES. Looking back at the few photos HAIR NECESSITIES.  Looking back at the few photos I have from my wedding ceremony over a month ago is keeping me going in lockdown 3.0! 💪🏻  Thanks to @casasalonkw for making my messy mop Pinterest-worthy on my special day. 👰‍♀️  This beautiful bejewelled accessory is called a bridal vine and I knew once I saw it that it had to be mine. 😍  What do you think? #bridalvine #weddinghairstyles
YAY FOR REPEAT FASHION. 🙌🏻 You might have n YAY FOR REPEAT FASHION. 🙌🏻  You might have noticed on my feed that I’m a big fan of re-wearing and getting the most out of my clothes.  Sure, fast fashion is affordable and enticing, but not exactly environmentally-friendly (or often ethical).  Instead, I champion sustainable style!  Why? Well:  - It’s better quality
- It’s kind to the planet
- It saves money
- It saves packing space when you’re going on a trip 🧳💪🏻  Read more about how you can be more sustainable with fashion in 2021 by visiting www.trendytourist.co.uk (link in bio). 💕  P.S. Doesn’t Christmas feel like it was ages ago?! #sustainablestyle #sustainableclothing

Hence, the beautiful flowers with blush pink accents and soft ivory draping that juxtaposed the rustic textures of the bamboo arbour, aisle lanterns and co-ordinating seashells.  Thank you @bigdaykw for helping bring my vision to life!  What do you think? I’ll share hair and makeup details next. 👰‍♀️  (Disclaimer: not an ad, just grateful!)

OVERLOOKING (AND WEARING) NATURE. 🌊🌸 Just b OVERLOOKING (AND WEARING) NATURE. 🌊🌸  Just because there are dark clouds on the horizon doesn’t mean there isn’t beauty to be found all around you.  Have faith. Trust the universe. It won’t be long until blue skies are revealed and the sun shines out the clearer. 🌞  On a side note, I live in strappy tops, linen shorts and flip flops when I’m in a warm climate. (Or short, loose-fitting skirts and dresses!)  What about you? Do you like comfy summer style too? 💕 #travelfashion #travelstyle

2020 IN REVIEW. This year has been tough for us a 2020 IN REVIEW.  This year has been tough for us all.  On a personal level, I’ve had days where I’ve struggled to get out of bed and be motivated whether I was supposed to be working or not. Days where I didn’t know who my next client was or where my next paycheque was coming from, which was heartbreaking when I’d spent three years building a business only for it to slow down to a complete standstill. Days where I’ve been so low because this new way of living has felt never-ending and soul-destroying.  That said, I’ve also been lucky enough to experience some amazing highlights, which have brought unexpected joy to my life in such a challenging time. These include:  - Spending the new year with my family in Wellington having just been proposed to on Christmas Day and having just celebrated my Dad’s 60th birthday on NYE
- Travelling around the North Island of New Zealand with my fiancé
- Visiting Perth, Australia for the first time
- Celebrating my 30th birthday with friends and family in Leeds
- Travelling around Ireland with my fiancé 
- Visiting Cancun for the second time
- Having a beach elopement and becoming a Mrs in Key West, Florida 
- Visiting Miami Beach for the second time  (All while adhering to COVID guidelines, of course!) ☺️  Now I’m reflecting during a brief stopover in Wisconsin before heading back to the UK.  Sure, there are going to be more tough times to come in 2021. Thanks to this new strain of coronavirus, more restrictions and lockdowns are inevitable. However, if humanity has proved anything so far, it’s that we’re strong, resilient and can overcome anything we put our minds to.  The comeback is always greater than the setback.  So here’s to a better year ahead, may you continue to find hope in the darkest hour. There is always light at the end of the tunnel if you’re willing to look for it. ♥️ #2020inreview #goodbye2020
JUST MARRIED. 👰‍♀️🤵‍♂️ We just JUST MARRIED. 👰‍♀️🤵‍♂️  We just couldn’t wait, so we eloped!  Now Key West will forever have a special place in our hearts, just like Nashville (where we met in 2015) and Wellington (where we got engaged last year).  Regardless, home is wherever I’m with you @nathanthuerwachter. Here’s to a lifetime of adventures!  (...And celebrating properly once this pandemic is over!) 🥂 #elopementwedding #elopementphotography
