UPF scarf from Eclipse? “And just like that, disco’s not dead,” said Harpers Bazaar. “The wide collar favoured by the Studio 54 set made a surprise comeback on the spring 2020 runways. “Modernised on coats, jackets, and button-downs at Lanvin, Ferragamo, JW Anderson, and beyond, the look is often shown with contrasting colours to make it really stand out. Because what’s the point of a super collar if you can’t really see it?” Can’t argue with that. Whether they’re long, narrow, bright or dark, expect to see a lot more of this triangular trend. “They aren’t going anywhere it seems. Everyone from Anna Sui to Giorgio Armani have hopped on the bandwagon and used them on the runways.” Between all these looks set to hit the shops, we’re confident 2020 is going to be a year with designs so groundbreaking that even Meryl Streep would have been satisfied.
Tailoring’s grip is as firm as ever for spring (if you’re looking to invest in an exemplary trouser suit, now’s the time) but that doesn’t mean there aren’t some new, well-cut proposals. Exhibit A: the shorts suit. Cut long and lean, falling just below the knee, at Givenchy they channelled what Clare Waight Keller called “raw, boyish energy”; at Max Mara, they had a crisp, faintly militaristic bent, thanks to Ian Griffiths’s stated desire to dress female assassins; and at Michael Kors, Salvatore Ferragamo and Rejina Pyo they looked positively peppy, cut high on the thigh. You might be sceptical now, but given how wedded you probably are to blazers, consider this trend a logical – and inevitable – progression.
Classic button-down shirts have become one of the most sartorially talked-about basics over the past couple of seasons, but this groovy 2020 take is bringing us back to the disco days, and we are not complaining. It is customary to keep your shirt collars tucked beneath your blazer lapels, but this spring, designers styled their ’70s-esque collections with big (emphasis on the big) collars pulled out from their usual hiding places beneath blazers and jackets alike. You know what they say: The bigger the collar, the more stylish the look. While collars made a major splash within this trend theme, so did the overall styling of all the iconic pieces from the decade. I mean, it’s hard to see shearling-lined suede vests paired over a mod floral minidresses and not think Jackie Burkhart, which is why we’ve come to terms with the ’70s as an overall vibe being just as important as the individual components. When it comes time to re-create this look, be sure to hit up the designers listed above, especially since the styling of disco collars and cropped sweater vests might not come naturally to you (or to us).
Sun Gloves come in One Size. The stretchy Spandex component of the fabric allows a perfect one-size-fits-all fit. The Difference is in the Fabric. The activated particles in Cocona™/37.5™ fabric increase the surface area by up to 800%. The greater surface area results in outstanding evaporative cooling and UV protection. The protection never washes out. I love these so much, I cannot live without them now. They are very comfortable, stretchy and soft. Very breathable fabric. I heard about these through a youtuber, Dr. Dray, and thought I would try them out since it’s just easier than putting sunscreen on my hands (although I know I’m still supposed to).

Let’s discuss a few spring 2020 trends in the fashion industry. Well-Vested: While the term borrowed from the boys is so passe in 2019, there is something decidedly last midcentury Savile Row about the vest. Whether included as part of a three-piece suit at Burberry and Etro, or mismatched with a jacket at Louis Vuitton, there’s something quite dapper and appealing—not to mention endlessly flattering—about the almighty waistcoat. Etro gave the classic white suit an update with the addition of a matching vest styled underneath.

But we are always striving for better, so we are looking into ways to eliminate that 1% part of the packaging being sent to the landfill!
