The wait is finally over. Spring/Summer’20 collections have made it off the catwalks and into stores. Here’s a quick recap of some of the season’s biggest trends and how you can incorporate them into your wardrobe!
Leather is usually associated with cold weather but has been reclaimed as a material for all seasons as buttery soft leather jackets, coats, skirts, and trousers in a rainbow of colours were seen on the runways from New York to Paris.

Look for soft leathers in bright hues. Be inspired by Bottega Veneta whose colourful take on luxe leather isn’t limited to clothes but extends to covetable shoes and bags that will perfectly update any wardrobe.
The unmissable glow of neon emanated from the catwalks and emerged as THE colour trend of the season. Bright lime green in particular was a designer favourite. Unapologetic in its brightness, this burst of colour delivered a dose of freshness.

Go for head-to-toe neon or for a more subtle approach add a shot of colour to any outfit with a neon accessory. For a playful take on elegance, reach for Louis Vuitton’s classic silk and wool monogram shawl in lime or Roger Vivier’s lady-like SO Vivier mini bag in bright green.
There is no denying the classic chic of an all-white suit. From stark white to pale cream, it’s a trend you can invest in that will see you through this season and beyond. It’s a look that can stand on its own or be the perfect blank canvas for your accessories making it a versatile addition to your wardrobe.
