Summer fashion trends to try in 2020

Milkmaid tops and dresses

The milkmaid look is in retailers everywhere and is one of this season’s hottest trends. Putting an old-school twist on your favourite summer looks, the adorable tops and dresses have features like puff sleeves, bow ties and square necks. They also tend to be incredibly versatile, with the dresses able to be dressed up with heels or paired with sneakers for a casual look. The tops can meanwhile be worn with everything from a slip skirt to your favourite pair of jeans.

Slip skirts

If you’re a fan of slip dresses then you’ll love this trend. This season, your 90s slip dress has a little sister, the slip skirt. A little less revealing than the ultra-tight midi skirt trends from the last few years, this skirt skims your figure in a flattering way, showing just enough. Team it with a cool-girl T-shirt and boots to grunge it up or look poised and pair it with an oversized blazer and heels.

Matching sets

One of the biggest trends from winter, the matching set, is carrying over into summer. It’s never been cooler to be matchy-matchy. This summer will see pencil skirts with matching crops and cute pants and top sets. There are still a few printed sets floating around but we’re mostly seeing brightly coloured co-ords emerge as the warmer weather rolls in.

Two-piece dresses

Show some skin this summer with gorgeous two-piece dresses. These are popular in white lace, as well as halter necks, slinky numbers and beautiful bardots.

Playsets

Playsets, or romper sets, are fun and comfy to wear. They are super cool this summer. Pair them with canvas sneakers or sandals for a casual look, or dress them up with heels.

Backless jumpsuits

Jumpsuits that show off your back are in and the look is easy to achieve. Pair yours with low boots or slides and add some bling like long, sparkling earrings or a brooch and you are ready to go.

Quilted bags

Quilted bags in crossbody styles, messenger styles, tote bags and more are in vogue this summer. Neutral tones as well as super brights are all in.

Printed maxi skirts

Midi and maxi skirts have come and gone over the years, but this year the midi is fading to make way for the maxi skirt. It is definitely something that you want to have in your summer wardrobe in 2020. Not only can you pair a printed maxi with a plain singlet top or bodysuit for simple feminine style, but you can also don a blouse for a cool and breezy work outfit. Bohemian looks and feminine country styles are in vogue.

Short jeans skirt

A short denim skirt matched with an interesting top and heels will give you a look that is perfect for a casual evening beach party. It is great for day wear and casual wear too. For a more dressed up look, match with a navy blue double blazer. The mini jeans skirt never goes out of style and it is as popular in the summer of 2020 as ever.

Crop tops

Many of our favourite online retailers have crop tops in stock this year in cute designs and patterns. With everything from off-the-shoulder to long sleeve styles, it’s easy to find a crop top for every occasion. If you’re not feeling brave enough to bare so much skin, you can always wear one with high-waisted skirts or shorts.

Anything rust coloured

Rust would be typically more of an autumn or winter colour, but it’s made its entrance early this year. Most complexions can do well in one shade or another of this burnt orange look, with all kinds of tops, dresses, skirts and pants to choose from and add to your summer wardrobe.

Espadrille sandals

You can embrace endless summer style with a pair of espadrille sandals. This trend seems to be here to stay for a while so it’s a no-brainer when looking for casual footwear or sandals that you can match with dresses, skirts, shorts and pants. As well as flat styles, espadrilles come in platform and heeled varieties so you’re covered if you’re looking for a bit of height.

Sweat shorts

It may be too warm to wear the sweat pants you’ve been in this winter, so trade them in for a pair of sweat shorts. Stay comfy with no sweat! They are ideal for lounging around at home or for casual wear when out and about.

• boohoo
• Meshki

Dressy bermudas

These fancy long shorts are in and here to stay. The look is just above the knee or right at the knee.

Sporty drawstrings

Ruffled tops, dresses, pants tees and dresses with drawstrings are all super cool this summer.

Oversized shirts

On those hot summer days, an oversized shirt not only helps to keep you feeling cool, but it’s also a look that can be taken from day into night. There are many ways to wear an oversized shirt, but one look that we like is with a couple of buttons done up in the middle and one side tucked into your denim shorts or jeans.
Oversized tees are in for men.
