Puffed sleeves are here to stay. This silky blouse is super wearable for work, the weekend, and beyond.
Seventies-inspired sunglasses were all over the spring runways. Expect to see the silhouette on an Insta feed near you.
Extra-large tote bags are a fashion-girl must for 2020. This white weave one is super chic.

We spotted polo-style tops all over the spring/summer 2020 runways, and we can’t get enough.
If you’re going to invest in one jewelry trend, make it a chunky chain-link necklace.
