Another major trend for Spring/Summer 2020 are polka dots. To be honest, polka dots are such a print that remains constant in our wardrobes, regardless of a fact whether it’s a trend or not. Polka dot print is so timeless, but at the same time also very summertime and cute! This season, polka dots are getting a modern makeover! Balenciaga, for instance, incorporated the print in a selection of shoes and mini totes. Other brands have played with color and dot size. So, this season you have a variety of polka dot clothing options to choose from! Black & white or colorful, dainty or big polka dots, the choice is endless!

However, in 2020 this trend is still expected to go strong! Seen at catwalks of Zimmermann, Richard Quinn and Huishan Zhang, puffy sleeves in 2020 are present in mostly dresses and blouses. Puffy sleeve trend is glam, but playful.

So, what is a general shoe trend for Spring/Summer 2020? The answer is: it’s 90’s inspired shoes! In particular, strappy and thong sandals with square toe. This season, you’ll be able to find these types of sandals everywhere. Not only several luxury brands have added these shoes to their collections, but similar designs can also be found at fast fashion retailers, like Topshop and Zara. However, the brand that is most talked about in regards to square-toe shoes is undoubtedly, Bottega Veneta. We’ve fallen in love with Bottega Veneta’s square-toe mules ever since they first appeared in Summer 2019. This season, the brand has released a whole range of square-toe sandals for us to wear and love.
