Not only is it a new year, but it’s also the start of a new decade. That means it’s time for up-to-the-minute fashion. Models are rocking the top fashion trends of 2020 and working the runways and it’s time that you get in on the latest. Learn how to shop and wear these designer trends, from functional bags to wide waist belts.

Bucket Bags Are Timeless and Functional

This year, carry all of your essentials in a simple yet sleek bucket bag. Fashion designers like BVLGARI and CHANEL have leather bucket bags available to add distinguished style to your wardrobe this year. The roominess makes these bags ideal on days when you have more to carry.

When picking up a bucket bag, look for small details, such as an inner zipper pocket and a durable drawstring closure. This will ensure that you have a designated space to store your small items, like your phone or credit cards and a secure closure will prevent you from losing any precious objects in the bottom of the spacious bag.

Bring Out Your Urban Glam with Hoop Earrings

Hoop earrings have always been part of the fashion world and the trend is unlikely to die out anytime soon. This year, however, they’re coming back with a bang. Designers including Oscar de la Renta and Tommy Hilfiger x Zendaya have showcased these dazzling earrings in different styles on the 2020 runways. From thick, oversized hoops to double-hooped styles, hoops are in.

Wide Waist Belts

From high-end fashion designers to streetwear brands, wide waist belts have been presented on the runway as a 2020 fashion trend. This accessory, once popular in the early 2000s, is now making a major comeback. There are dozens of styles to choose from, but it’s important to know what to look for.

The key to choosing a flattering wide waist belt is to pick one that’s no more than 3 inches less than your current waist measurement. This will provide you with a nicely cinched waist without squeezing and making you uncomfortable.

Handcrafted Jewellery Adds Charm

From fresh dainty earrings to large statement necklaces, handcrafted jewellery is in. Oversized chains, single earrings, and colorful jewellery are common themes this year. Not only does handcrafted jewellery give you a unique piece that is all your own, but when purchased locally or from small boutiques, you get the chance to support local economies and small businesses.

Chunky Boots

It might be the roaring 20s, but the 90s are back in full swing and chunky boots are taking center stage. This grunge-style can be dressed up or down, depending on your preference. Pair the boots with miniskirts for a retro vibe, or dresses for a grunge-chic look. Hot pants, which are also being seen this year, also look stylish when paired with chunky platform boots.

This year, we’re seeing many different accessories from past decades making an appearance on the runways. From timeless purses like bucket bags, to chunky grunge-inspired boots, 2020 accessories are all about being bold and unapologetically you.
