The sales are over, the holidays are over, September has arrived, and we can now announce that we are officially starting the new autumn-winter season. It is starting to be time to make the change of wardrobe and anticipate the arrival of the first colds and, how it happens to us every time we launch the season, the typical question assails us: what is going to be fashionable in the coming months?

It’s hard to think of coats when we almost still have a swimsuit in the laundry, but it is very important to know the trends from the first moment. One of the benefits is that we will be able to pardon summer clothes and not keep them until 2021 because we know that we will be able to continue using them during the winter. Another advantage is that we can detect our fashionista shortcomings very early and quickly cover them with the first purchases of the season.

The ten trends that will mark autumn-winter 2020 fashion

How to know the most important trends of the new season? To know them, what you have to do is analyze the proposals of the great designers in the fashion weeks that took place the first weeks of the year and see what elements tend to be repeated on the catwalks. The option that we propose is much easier and more comfortable and is to continue reading the selection that we have prepared for you using expert insights and knowledge from Dragana Dujovic. The fashion icon, model, designer, and former Miss Serbia continues to lead her benchmark in the fashion world.

Dujovic has found a place within the top-tier of European fashion representatives, with unique ideas, aesthetics, and fashion statements coming through in the past decades. Her fashion accessories brand, “Dragana” is one of the high-profile fashion brands based in Europe.

1) Working Girl

Although teleworking airs blow, the typical uniform to go to the office is one of the star looks of the season. The tailored suit with a masculine air, typical of an aggressive executive, will be the perfect option for many occasions, even beyond work moments. The accepted options are very varied since the blazers will be able to be accompanied by pants or skirts of different heights.

You can choose sober fabrics, very Wall Street style. We anticipate that one of the most interesting proposals is to expand the suits in your wardrobe by incorporating a much riskier one in bright or fluorescent colors or alternative fabrics such as patent leather or leather. The best inspiration you will find in those American series of the style ‘The Good Wife’ or ‘House of Cards’ to dress as if you were going to work at the very White House or a prestigious law firm.

2) Back to the ‘70s

Every season the fashion world takes a look back for inspiration from one of the decades of the 20th century. This winter, the seventies become the prodigious decade and the one that we have to relive with our outfits. The image to pursue would be that of a bohemian woman, with an intellectual and mysterious air and some hints of hippie influences.

Our wardrobe will become more retro than ever based on arty prints where diamond knitted sweaters cannot be missing. Another essential garment will be the coats inspired by that time, long and with a huge fur collar that can be in the tone or contrast with the color of the coat. To be able to inspire you, you only have to look at how the European divas of the moment, such as the model Twiggy or the actress Catherine Deneuve dressed.

3) A visit to Versailles

We can travel a little further in time to the times of Marie Antoinette, and the palatial and wasteful style of Versailles will be one of the most impressive trends of the season. It is the riskiest and theatrical proposal, so we must see how it translates into street fashion to be able to incorporate it into our daily lives.

Play dress-up (or almost) betting on skirts with a lot of volumes without having any fear of excess. Another way to sign up for this style is to use very puffy sleeves or bows everywhere in any corner of your style! Corsets return to mark wasp waists. The main person in charge of this trend is Moschino. You can sign his show as a master in fashion or see the mythical film by Sofía Coppola about the French sovereign.

4) A blank canvas

We now start the review of the most important colors for next winter and where white stands as one of the protagonists. With the arrival of the cold, and as if it were snow, this tone will invade the looks from top to bottom since it will be white, combined with more white and on equally white garments. Of course, this glacial image will give a truce to mix in some moments with black details.

We recommend that you prepare the list and check that you are not missing any garment in your wardrobe in this color: pants, shirts, coat, sweater, footwear, the bag. Are you ready? Well, the garment chosen as an essential will be the long dress, so you should know that the bridal air will go beyond brides to conquer any woman.

5) Red, nocturnal and treacherous

White will have a tough rival in red, the only one capable of overshadowing him next season. Red is not a single color. Think of its entire range of shades that can go from cherry to scarlet without forgetting the famous Valentino red. The night will be the moment where it will best unfold since it is usually accompanied by rich fabrics, especially sequins, suitable for the most special moments.

Write it down: a red dress cannot be missing this season, whatever your style. Leave black momentarily parked and do not be shy about dressing in this striking tone. The best option is long or midi dresses and, if your bet is shorter, combine them with tights of the same color as proposed by Saint Laurent or Marc Jacobs.

6) Stay naked

During the summer months, it already began to show its paw, but for this winter, leather is claimed as the quintessential fabric of the season invading looks beyond shoes and bags to give life to all kinds of garments such as dresses or coats. Although it is a regular for the cold, this year the difference is that it will become your second skin dyeing all kinds of colors beyond the usual black and brown.

Leather will be so important that we cannot choose a single must in this material. On the one hand, the short leather dresses that are worn from miniskirts to mid-leg. We also have pants that go far beyond the traditional biker style to be made in any seasonal pattern such as bloomers or sporty — finally, an oversized Matrix-style coat. By the way, know that in 2021 there are very sustainable alternatives to be able to wear this type of skin.
