The 1970s Revival
The swinging 70s was a time of unique color, print, and material combos which is bound for a revival in 2020. Prints are coming back in full force and 2020 will also be inspired by design elements commonly seen in the 70s including flared hemlines, wide lapels, and double-breasted styles.

Bell bottoms are also projected to be making a huge statement in 2020 along with crocheted pieces that pay homage to hippie fashion. Another big trend inspired by the 70s is the ‘disco collar’ that is a wider, triangle-shaped color.
