For Spring 2020, we saw plenty of pieces that we’ve already added to our closet, along with some $0 styling choices that we could copy tomorrow if we wanted.

Sweet Spots
Fashion clown lives on! Polka dots appeared in handful of collections, and while black-and-white combos were definitely a favorite, vibrant colors such as yellow were included in the mix as well.

Capri Pants
It looks like it’s time to officially ditch tiny cutoffs. If 2019 was the year of the Bermuda short, 2020 will be the year its cousin, the capri pant, makes a major comeback.

Statement Sleeves
If you’ve already invested in some puff-sleeve shirts, there’s good news: this trend isn’t going anywhere. In fact, it only seems to be getting more extreme thanks to extra volume, ruffles, and bold colorways.
