This Summer 2020 appeared immediately uncertain and precarious, if we would describe it with an Instagram filter it could be a matte and nostalgic one.
On the contrary, the accessory trends for Summer 2020 are colorful and have a teen taste that bring us to the 90s. As I was born in the 90s I see these Summer 2020 trends for the accessories as a return to adolescence or childhood with colored beaded necklaces, all different earrings in eccentric colors and glasses that won’t go unnoticed. Summer 2020 is a post-pandemic season that wants us sober, aware, responsible. But at least with accessories we can dare! What would I recommend? Let’s start from the jewels.
Necklaces and earrings, as we said, want colored beads and childlike shapes such as flowers, insects, hearts. New value for precious (and not) stones for a luminous and fun effect even in the most sober styles. For the most elegant occasions, the necklaces are maxi, while the button earrings dominate the scene together with circlet patterns with pendants.
The rhinestones are there! Not only on jewelry but also on unusual accessories such as 60s-style bandanas decorated with embroideries and applications. It can be an unexpected accessory for a formal dress: why not wear a precious scarf instead of a necklace? Summer 2020 sees among the accessory trends also the ethnic style applied on bags. Fabrics and techniques are mixed: cotton, fringes and embroidery are placed next to technical fabrics with a contemporary effect. You can wear these summer bags to enhance a black shirt dress or white joggers with a cord at the waist.
For watch lovers this Summer 2020 will be a very favorable season! The accessory trends want colorful and sporty models with attention to detail or more classic watches for every occasion. The smartwatch sector is on fire. Now we are all more careful about movement, health and maintaining more sustainable rhythms. A faithful companion for this Summer 2020 could be a smartwatch in a classic silver or in rose gold. Here we come to the section that you will prefer for sure: sunglasses!
A wave of vintage hit the Summer 2020 trends for sunglasses that from simple accessory has become a real garment for our face. From tiny vintage-inspired models with colored lenses we move on to evergreen models such as square shapes but in a more fun and eccentric Sixties version.
