Sometimes the most beautiful and elegant dresses are the simplest. In 2020 plain dresses, without extravagant fabrics, rhinestones or complicated designs will be on great trend.

For the most reserved girls, you should always have a classic option. But, classic doesn’t mean boring or anti fashion. Colors like baby blue, sage green and champagne will continue in trend in 2020, so none of these tones should be out of your boutique stock.

Short and fun

5 FASHION TRENDS FOR FALL 2019

Are you a girl who loves being in the latest fashion trend? If you missed the most important fashion shows, here are 5 trends that will take over all wardrobes this fall.

Colors, coats, handbags, belts, and hats. A bit of everything so you can put together an out-of-a-magazine look this fall season.

1. Belt over jacket

One of the great trends for autumn is belts. But, this season they come in a very peculiar way: on top of the jacket. That’s right, if you have a coat or jacket that you love, spice it up by placing a belt over it. It can be thin, thick, simple, or super flashy, that’s up to you. But the idea is to put it over your jacket.

2. Super long coats

A nice coat should always be part of any wardrobe. But, this fall, super long coats are the ones that will dominate the streets. In addition to their extra length, they must be thick and made of heavy wool to provide extra warmth during the cold season.

3. Color: Mauve

Every season has its own color trends and this fall gives us a big surprise with a color that we usually see more in spring: mauve. This purple hue is super versatile, looks beautiful in all skin tones and you can easily combine it with other colors. Say goodbye to the classic autumn terracotta tones and make room for mauve.

4. Statement hats

Say goodbye to beanies and berets; it’s time for statement hats made of thick materials to match with season sweaters and coats. A hat is an excellent accessory to a casual look. If your wardrobe is not that big, a couple of hats will help you give a different touch to the same outfit.

5. Tiny handbags

This fall, the smaller your handbag, the better. So forget about carrying lots of things, go back to basics, because in your tiny super trendy purse you won’t be able to take more stuff than the strictly essential.

STRAPLESS AND OFF-THE-SHOULDER DRESSES!

Dresses that let shoulders out have always been among the favorites of all the girls.

According to the most important fashion runway shows we have seen during the year, showing the shoulders will be in trend more than ever. It’s good news because strapless and off-the-shoulder never go out of style, so you can wear for a long time all the dresses and clothes with this kind of neckline.

As we mentioned, strapless dresses never go out of style and look good with updos and loose hairstyles. So if it’s common that you don’t know how to match your hairstyle with your dress, with strapless, you won’t have that problem.

PLAIN DRESSES: SIMPLE AND SEXY

Keep reading, as in this article we’ll highlight 3 trends that have taken over the most exclusive fashion shows, and that in 2020 every bride will want to wear.

Trend #1: lace wedding dress

Once again, lace wedding dresses are the absolute star of the wedding season.

We’ll see lace on the top, on the skirt, on the neckline, on the arms and making a fabulous match with transparencies.

The fancy detail of the year: the combination of lace and tulle that gives an airy and romantic look.

In addition, this year we’ll have more structured and thicker fabrics than in previous seasons.

Feathers, rhinestones and sequins return to give a vintage touch to the bridal look.

Trend #2: the Meghan Markle euphoria

White Three Quarter Length Sleeves Wedding Gown

Get the look: style GL2592 | Embroidered Mesh Mermaid Wedding Gown w/ V-Back

Yes, although Meghan Markle’s wedding with Prince Harry was in 2018, the euphoria for the wedding dress that the Duchess of Sussex wore is still in trend and will continue at the 2020 weddings.

Simple lines, minimalist designs and the purest white color. Satin dresses or silk veil. Simplicity and elegance at its finest.

Trend #3: bare back

cut-out open back lace A-line wedding dress

Get the look: style GL1804 | Illusion V-Neck Embroidered Mesh Wedding Gown w/ Sequin Lining

Every year, backless wedding dresses are one of the big favorites. They’re sensual and delicate at the same time.

The back neckline can be quite pronounced, or low enough to show the skin with style.

Sleeves also come strong in the bridal season, so having wedding dresses with both trends (bare back and sleeves) in your boutique will be a fantastic option for brides-to-be.

CHAMPAGNE: THE COLOR EVERY GIRL SHOULD BE WEARING

Some colors become trendy in a particular fashion season, while others are timeless and make any girl look fabulous.

This is the case of champagne, a color whose tone lies between ivory and cream and evokes clarity and purity with an obvious elegant touch.

If champagne is not a color you have on your radar when buying a dress, we’ll give you three reasons to love it and want it immediately in your closet.

Reason #1: It’s versatile

Champagne colored party dress

Get the look: style GS2834 | Beads Accented Sweetheart Neck Glitter Mesh Short Dress

Champagne is one of the most versatile colors that exist. It goes well for day events, but also night parties. It’s a tone that can be used in serious celebrations or in gathering with a more relaxed vibe.

It’s a neutral color that you can easily combine with more vivid tones to create a more striking and fun look. If on the contrary, you want to portray a serious appearance, then you can maintain its implicit sobriety by combining it with colors like brown and gray in light tones.

Reason #2: It’s elegant

Champagne colored long dress

Get the look: style GS2812 | Embroidered Bodice Chiffon Long Dress

Probably the first color that comes to your mind when thinking of elegance is black, but in reality, champagne is even more sophisticated. Besides, thanks to its versatility, you can use it in a first-class morning event (which is not recommended with the color black) or for a gala party at night.

If you have never used champagne as a fashion color and an elegant event is approaching, give it a try. We promise you will love how it looks.

Reason #3: It fits all skin tones

Champagne Quinceanera Gown with Cape

Get the look: style GL2801 | Jewel Embellished Bodice Glitter Mesh Ball Gown w/ Glitter Mesh Cape

Last but not least, champagne is a color that goes well with any skin tone.

It doesn’t matter if you have light, brown, or dark skin, champagne will delicately highlight your natural skin color, without contrasting too much or resulting in an exaggerated look. Neutral colors are very benevolent and always a good bet.

Are you convinced to give champagne a chance? Do it, you’ll look fabulous in it.
