Shop the trend:
Sweatpants with Boots
If you’re looking to breathe new life into your sweatpant outfits, try tucking them into a pair of tall boots. I’ll personally be trying this out the next time I’m at the airport.
Shop the trend:
Half-Zip Sweaters
Half-zip sweaters are the cool knitwear staple every fashion girl is wearing right now, including Who What Wear market editor Nicole Eshaghpour.
Shop the trend:
Platform Boots
Chunky platform boots are absolutely everywhere on the streets of NYC right now. Whether paired with jeans or a long printed dress, they’re surprisingly versatile.
Shop the trend:
Puffy Sleeves
Here’s a trend for anyone with a romantic core. Puffy sleeves for the win.
Shop the trend:
Two-Tone Pieces
I have a hunch that two-tone pieces will explode in 2020. While there is already plenty of cool market, it’s also been trickling onto recent runways like Chanel, so it will have serious staying power.
Oversize Suiting
Suiting was one trend that defined 2019 but will continue to be big in 2020. Want to pull it off like an NYC girl? Take inspiration from Who What Wear fashion editor Lauren Eggertsen and look for oversize proportions.
Leather Trench Coats
Interested in a trend you’ll wear for years? Look no further than the leather trench, my friends. I invested in one earlier this year, and it’s been one of my best purchases to date.
