3 women’s fashion trends for spring 2020

Any fashion-forward Camberwell filly will tell you that spring is the most important season in fashion.

Traditionally, it’s the time when designers reveal the style trends for the warmer months; when fashionistas pack away their winter layers and embrace colour and movement; when racing carnivals burst with colour, style and vibrancy – then along came 2020.

For most of us, over isolation our uniforms have largely comprised comfy leisurewear and slippers, and our biggest fashion moments have been when we’ve switched tops for the next Zoom meeting.

Some things haven’t changed though.

Camberwell’s top fashion brands have been hard at work, sourcing the very latest new season styles and trends from Australia’s most sought-after designers, just in time for spring and our re-emergence from hibernating at home.

Here are the three key women’s fashion trends for spring 2020 now available at stores in Camberwell shopping precinct:

Elegant detailing

They say it’s all in the detail – and this has never been truer than in spring 2020, when details step out from their supporting role to take centre stage.

Buttons are bold or beautifully crafted, delicate ruching adorns skirts and dresses, and the perfect cuff is one that makes an impression.

You’ll spot this trend in a few ways: a linen military jacket makes with bold, statement buttons; the delicate pleating of a skirt that is delightfully spot on; the finely gathered cuffs on a new season dress that will have you positively swooning.

The signature cut of the season is the tier, be it a layered hem on a floral dress or a fully layered dress for the more fashion daring.

Puff sleeves

The key fashion secret Camberwell fashion devotees need up their sleeve this spring is that those sleeves had better be big, puffy, and make a huge statement.

This season, puffy shoulders are perfect for short or cap sleeves, but if the arm is full length, the billowing needs to happen around the wrist.

Exaggerate the puffiness of the sleeve with a tight, buttoned down cuff, perfectly exemplified in an oversized shirt or effortlessly chic on a full-length knit dress.

When experimenting with the puff sleeve, keep this style tip in mind: puffy doesn’t mean pirate. This season’s puff sleeve leans more towards softly delicate or perfectly tailored, and creates a point of interest in the outfit.

Fine print florals

Florals may be a spring staple but this season, make sure the print is fine, detailed and small – and Camberwell’s fashion stores are right onto it.

Think of a floral shirt with a print so fine you’ll need a microscope to take it all in, or a ruffle shirt featuring the tiniest floral print, with a ruffled, layered cut.

And if you’re thinking that florals are a little boring, hop into a floral jumpsuit and you’ll feel anything but mediocre.

Style tip: if the print would look just as gorgeous adorning your home as wallpaper, you’ve got the look.
