October 21, 2019
A new decade is upon us and the start of a new year means the culmination of an era for some of your favourite fads. But don't fret! Though we're tossing out some of the micro-trends and sartorial mainstays that dominated the runways and streets of 2019 for months to come and are slowly fizzling out, we're seeing reliable usurpers paving the way for a hopefully more fashionable year ahead. Here's our list of fashion do's and don'ts for the big 2020.
OUT: LOGO MANIA
IN: NEUTRALS
We'd be lying if we said that we have not at some point in 2019 had a fashion meet-cute with the logo fever. The biggest names in fashion all gave in to the trend, and came out with some of the most covetable logo-saturated pieces embellished on some of Tinseltown's A-listers. Luckily for you, neutrals have stepped in, and from the looks of it, seem like they're going to stay for a while.

OUT: MUTED ACCESSORIES
IN: CULT PIECES
Statement add-ons are riding a second wave (first was the early 2000s) thanks to the demise of muted and understated pieces from the recent years. Gone are the days when dainty trinkets ruled our bejewelled chiffonier. This year is all about sculptural earrings and chunky neckpieces.

OUT: CLUNKY SNEAKERS
IN: RETRO SNEAKERS
We're sorry, but it's time you shelve the exaggerated platforms and flashy Dad sneakers. As for what's replacing them? Retro sneakers with all the cool shade and spunk from the early 2000s. They're becoming increasingly popular amongst social media influencers and celebrities alike.

OUT: FLIP FLOPS OVER JEANS
IN: SMART LOAFERS
The biggest fashion faux pas, if you ask us. Trust us when we say that women notice EVERYTHING. And flip flops over jeans is definitely not going to earn you extra credit in her books. Unless you're at the beach, put the slippers aside and instead, invest in a pair of really smart loafers. Bonus: You don't have to fuss over the laces with them.

OUT: MUSCLE TEES
IN: POLO T-SHIRTS
News alert, boys. Showing off the sideboob in no way excites the opposite sex. Rather than baring it all, leave certain things to the imagination in a well-fitted solid polo T-shirt. Girls are bound to notice your burly physique in these casual musts without you having to go over the top.
