Probably the most dynamic component of modern fashion trends is the color palette. The fashion for colors and shades, various prints and patterns changes at lightning speed, elevating completely unexpected color combinations to the rank of trends and maintaining the usual stability in relation to some that have already become classic options.
Fashion trends in prints 2019–2020
The autumn-winter season 2019–2020 was no exception. Its characteristic feature is the combination traditional autumn prints from the category of classic checks, stripes, argyle with an untimely, at first glance, triumph of luxurious flowers and butterflies.
Natural motives are represented not only by the richness of flora and the world of insects, but also by a variety of animal prints. The designers did not deprive them of their attention avant-garde direction, represented in abundance by patchwork, various inscriptions, and frivolous tie-dye.
What drawings will be relevant?
Paying tribute to the elegance of monochrome models, this season fashion designers enthusiastically compete in the multicolor and variety of patterns offered.
Checkered, striped
If someone claims that the cage carries an inevitable touch of everyday life and excessive formality, then this means that he is completely unfamiliar with the fashion news of the autumn-winter season:
- Certainly, classic houndstooth on coats and jackets goes back to the times of the legendary Coco Chanel, but this does not make it any less elegant.
- Black and white broken cell solution still remains a sign of good taste and refined sophistication.
- For lovers of non-trivial solutions, designers recommend red and white solution, while emphasizing the combination in one image of two checkered items of the same geometry, one of which is presented in black and white, and the other in white and red.
Important! Unlike an ordinary check, the houndstooth, thanks to the visual effect of broken diagonal lines, is quite appropriate in the wardrobe of girls whose parameters are somewhat different from the coveted size 46.
- English fashion houses true to the tartan check. Among the variety of color solutions, brown Burberry took the lead.
- small cell dominates among oversized cut models, including coats and raincoats.
Another option, traditionally considered a classic, has acquired a special meaning this season. This is about stripe.
Autumn and winter 2019–2020 are welcome horizontal stripes, generously decorating T-shirts, tunics, dresses, trousers. Once again cozy knitted turtlenecks have returned to multi-colored stripes, which fit perfectly into both a business wardrobe and casual style outfits.
Flowers, butterflies
With the onset of cold weather, leading fashion houses do not want to part with the luxurious splendor of the summer garden, insistently offering collections of silk dresses depicting a real floral paradise. The floral print of these models is striking in its realism and accuracy of reproduction of details.
This season they are especially popular among young people. Red roses. But delicate wildflowers, small delicate bouquets and buds also find their fans.
The charm of summer along with bright petals gives fluttering colorful butterflies, scattered in an extraordinary whirlwind over dresses and blouses.
Patchwork, cucumber
The patchwork quilt effect is increasingly conquering the catwalk. Technique patchwork is quite widely represented this season with models of dresses, blouses, suits and even outerwear. The only thing that stylists strongly remind you of is self-sufficiency of such a print. The combination of various patterns in one product requires restraint and conciseness from other outfit items.
If patchwork goes through periods of popularity, interspersed with long oblivion, then the legendary paisley print, or “Turkish cucumber”, born several centuries ago in the East, is almost always in demand. This season it is offered in different sizes: and small scattering on a silk mini-dress and a large pattern on models with a complex figured cut.
Leopard, snake, zebra
Prints that imitate animal skins, to one degree or another, always remain on the crest of success. The 2020 season was no exception. A distinctive feature can be considered the ubiquity of animal prints.
Picturesque leopard spots, tiger stripes and snake patterns abound in light dresses, knitwear, jackets and skirts, coats and fur coats, shoes, bags and hats. Particular attention is paid to zebra this season, which is not always presented in the classic black and white version.
It should be noted that the trend towards extravagant color schemes of “animal prints” is another characteristic feature of the current season.
Polka dots, hearts
Cute and romantic patterns of peas and hearts of all colors and sizes decorate silk blouses and dresses this winter, and fit perfectly into both everyday looks and evening outfits. A very positive decision that creates an optimistic mood and brings a touch of joy to the most gray and stormy day.
Tie-dye, argyle
Two contradictory trends are represented by these prints.
Uninhibited loose tie-dye, which triumphantly declared itself in the summer fashion of 2019, unexpectedly retained its position with the onset of cold weather, delighting its fans with memories of sun glare, sea spray and rainbow color transitions.
The counterweight is argyle - a pattern of strict rhombuses of different colors, once again referencing the tartan. Most often used in knitwear: from classic sweaters to provocative mini-dresses.
Inscriptions
A brand name, slogan, motto, name or just a funny phrase increasingly decorates dresses, T-shirts, jackets, windbreakers, and bags of modern fashionistas. When including an item with an inscription in an ensemble, you should follow two simple rules:
- Select the remaining components of the image based on the color of the inscription.
- Know the content of foreign words on your clothes.
Camouflage
Fashionable militaristic style is most easily realized through the use of a camouflage print, which, contrary to its name, does not camouflage, but on the contrary, attracts attention on the streets of the city. The winter season of 2020 welcomes spotted dresses, skirts, trousers, raincoats and jackets of various cuts.
