Barely there strappy sandals, or "floss heels" as we like to call them, were the talk of the town all last year. This shoe trend is a part of the evolution of the naked shoe movement, and up next in 2020, floss heels will get a slight update thanks to the rise of the T-strap sandal. This new take on the trend feels fresh enough to get people talking while being just as wearable as the floss heels we all know and love.

Logo bags aren't going out of style by any means, but while 2019 was all about the Dior Saddle and the Fendi Baguette, 2020 will be about new takes on those returning classics. In particular, the '90s shoulder bag made quite a statement on the spring runways featuring exciting new details like chain straps, crazy prints, and everything in between. So this year, instead of feeling like you have to stick to a label, buy what you like so long as it fits comfortably right in your armpit.

I don't know about you, but I am more than ready to put away the bucket hat for the unforeseeable future. Replacing the '90s grunge-inspired topper will be baseball hats. These hats have no frills and no fuss. Instead, they were used on the runway to juxtapose whatever was going on beneath the hat like a strappy bra situation or a sleek tailored coat.

Don't fret—mini bags are still socially acceptable because everything is cuter when it's tiny, but the spring 2020 collections showed us that the big bag trend is still on the rise. Side-slung massive carryalls, in particular, were spotted all throughout fashion month and are just the exciting take on the trend we were looking for.

The decline of microscopic sunglasses has been inevitable for some time now, and while shoppers might be initially intimidated by larger frames as their replacement, the shift is happening. Brands like Gucci and Fendi made quite the case for those grandma-inspired sunglasses, and sooner or later, everyone's going to fall for them. You'll see.

You might not believe what you're about to read, but gladiator sandals have officially returned. Replacing the hyper-saturated trend that was sporty sandals, specifically the Teva-inspired ones, will be the more toned-down sandal fit to accompany any spring and summer ensemble of your choosing.
