WHAT TO BUY FOR SUMMER 2020 AND SPRING SUMMER 2021

Now let’s get to the list of all the things that you should buy this season.

Ps. My entire spring summer 2020 capsule wardrobe shopping list with all the fashionable things that I am buying this season, or I have already bought is waiting for you below – ready for you to shop online.

Truth to be told, most of these stylish things are already hanging in my closet. Or waiting in the box tower in my dressing room. Yes, I have a lot of unboxing to do this weekend. Still, I have plenty of time now that I’m home 24/7.

Anyway, since I was making this spring summer 2020 capsule checklist thinking of you too, I also added a few things that are IT things of the season, remarkably fashionable, but you won’t see me wearing them. Like the ugly sporty sandals and a few more things that don’t go with my style.

But who knows, perhaps I change my mind and I purchase them anyway. And wear them next year. After all, all these things from spring summer 2020 capsule checklist will be in style for 2021, also.

So what to shop for summer 2020 and spring summer 2021? Scroll down to see!

ACCESSORIES

Shop the accessories first to make sure you don’t run out of the money before you even fasten your chain belt and count the pearls on that pretty pearl hairpin.

HAIR ACCESSORIES

Yes, just like last year, summer 2020 is all about the hair accessories. From big bow ties, silk scrunchie, 90s hair clips and hairpins to padded headbands and seashell hairband. Ps. Be sure to go through extended report on SS20 hair accessories also.

Anyway, here is what to shop now! Shop this headband and click here to see how to style it later. Also, get these pearl hairpins and check these two articles to see how to wear hairpins casually or with a black suit for a date.

BELTS

You have two options this season. Either a chain belt or a woven belt. Of course, pastel belts are an option, too.

JEWELLERY

When it comes to the jewellery there are 3 big fashion trends for summer 2020. So better tick all the checkboxes next to the pearls, chain jewellery and colourful jewellery.

Also, add mono earring to my shopping list. By the way, if you want your last year’s favourite shell necklace look fashionable for 2020, be sure to style it with pearls. I’m sure you can master the layered look with strands, pearls and shells.

SUNGLASSES

Sunglasses for sunbathing on your balcony.

By the way, futuristic sunglasses are still in fashion this season. I know! Not a surprise. The most fashionable sunglasses for summer 2020 are large. Like really large and square. Again, the 70s are back. Also the colorful sunglasses.

As these are not the only sunglasses on my spring summer 2020 shopping list, you should check the extended fashion report with all the sunglasses trends, also. But first, more about other spring-summer IT accessories from my shopping list.

HATS

Remember I wrote bucket hat trend would get big soon? It turns out that this fashion trend no one seemed to care about finally got into the spotlight. Everyone wears bucket hats now. I am getting this one.

Another fashionable summer 2020 hat is the bird-nest hat. Dior featured it first.

Well if you don’t like a bucket hat or the bird-nest hat, there is always the ladylike headscarf you can wear. Just be sure to tie the square scarf under your chin. Like Grace Kelly would.

SUMMER DRESSES FOR COLD SUMMER DAYS

Summer 2020 is all about voluminous dresses and romantic dresses. For summer 2020 get a draped dress, this voluminous dress (or this one if you want to buy more than just one dress to wear when it rains or it gets cold this summer), leather dress, little black dress, dress with a bow, a sequin dress.

Furthermore dresses in floral print, long sleeve dress, this Victorian dress, paisley dress, a dress with bold shoulders, and dress with a sweetheart neckline. Which happens to be one of the most fashionable dresses of summer 2020.

Finally, a lovely short dress in natural hues that you can wear every day no matter where you go. Oh and also the black and white polka dot dress. Yes, polka dot print is back in style in 2020.

Ps. If you can’t decide what little black dress to buy next – check the list of the most fashionable little black dresses. It will help!

SUMMER DRESSES FOR HOT SUMMER DAYS

Do you know what the most fashionable summer dress in 2020 is? No, not the tie-dye dress. Tie-dye is not fashionable anymore. At least not as much as it was last year – read not worthy of investing. The most fashionable 2020 summer dress is an off the shoulders dress. Thumbs up if you are happy to know off the shoulder dress is back in style! Another summer dress I’m pretty sure you will be happy to wear again is the slip dress. And a tulle dress. Sheer dresses are fashionable for summer 2020 too. Including a net dress.

Good news if you prefer crochet over lace, crochet dress is a must-have summer 2020 dress. A fringe dress is on the IT list too, though. I like this one.

Also fashionable for summer 2020 are the macramé dress, cutout dress, jungle print silk dress, off the shoulder midi shirt dress, a maxi dress, mono sleeve dress, denim dress, gingham dress, pink dress, blue dress, boho dress (by the way, I wear boho dress in spring), kaftan, white dress, shimmer dress, black and white polka dot dress, dresses with the heart neckline and bandeau dresses (strapless dresses – like my voluminous bandeau dress). Plus the criss-cross neckline dress.

SWIMWEAR

The criss-cross neckline is not fashionable only for summer dresses but swimwear too. However, this is not your only option. It turns out that some of your last season’s swimwear is still in fashion. That is if you were shopping from my swimwear shopping list.

Even so, you should purchase a one side shoulder swimsuit this year, too. And the rest of swimwear from my SS20 shopping list. After all, summer will be long, and if you tend to live in your bikini all summer long, you will need those.

SUMMER TOPS

Back to the summer 2020 everyday clothes. The must-buy tops this season are undoubtedly any blouse with statement sleeves, leather shirt, criss-cross neckline top, top with heart neckline (yes this trend is big), slip top, the 70s inspired short sleeve turtleneck sweater, camel cable knit sweater (check how to wear cable knit sweater for spring before you get one), a body.

Furthermore, a denim shirt, men’s shirt, beige linen top (ps. wear a linen top with midi skirt), nautical top (you know that top with horizontal blue and white stripes French girls love so much), paisley blouse, and a simple white T-shirt.

Even so, the most fashionable summer 2020 top is an off the shoulder top. Yes, again! Surely, you already have a bunch of off the shoulder tops in your capsule wardrobe, don’t you? After all, off the shoulder tops were out of style only for one year.

Another stylish summer 2020 top you might already own is a polo shirt. As you read, in summer 2020 we wear polo shirts every day. When doing sports and work at the office. It seems to me that I won’t be the only one stylish at the golf course this year.

Anyway, there are a few other tops and tees for summer 2020 you should add to your summer 2020 capsule wardrobe; a crop top, the corset top, ribbed button detailed top, spaghetti strap top, bodycon top, form-fitting top, half-zipped sweater, embroidered knits, a vest and a bra. Well, don’t look like that. The lingerie trend is big this summer. Well, a waistcoat is something we brought back from the 90s. Better a waistcoat than low jeans, right?

UNDERWEAR

I’m pretty sure I mentioned you should add a bra to your summer 2020 capsule wardrobe, already. Still, I need to mention a bra again. Because the last time I mentioned it I meant a bra, you could wear instead of a shirt or over a shirt.

Whatsoever, here is a short lingerie capsule list for summer 2020. In 2020 the most fashionable underwear is a classic stretch soft-cup bra, a tiger print bra, a knit bra, a body, lace briefs, the hipsters, and a silk camisole. Bralette is back in style too.

PANTS, SKIRTS, SHORTS, AND JEANS

If 2019 was the year of cycling shorts, 2020 is certainly not. In 2020 the shorter is better. At least when it comes to the shorts. Even though bermudas are still fashionable (leather bermudas to be exact), the shorts, especially when worn with a matching blazer, are the most fashionable bottoms in 2020.

Also very fashionable for summer 2020 are denim shorts and bermuda jeans.

As it goes to the pants, no, no cropped pants on summer 2020 capsule wardrobe shopping list this season. Unfortunately, not because my closet is already filled with tapered pants, but because in spring-summer 2020 cropped pants are more or less out of style.

Hence only extra long pants on the summer 2020 capsule wardrobe checklist. Beside extra long straight-leg pants you also need wide-leg pants, bell pants, 70s pants, tailored pants, and leather pants.

Of course, you also need high-waisted pants, and straight-leg trousers, and cargo pants. Yes, cargo pants are still in style. Ps. Wear your new cargo pants with mules.

Same goes for the jeans. Apart from the 80s jeans and 90s jeans that tend to be slightly shorter and high-waisted. Yet baggy. No tapered jeans this time. It’s time for high-waisted jeans, wide jeans, and straight-leg jeans, retro-inspired jeans, cool jeans, 90s jeans, 80s jeans, white jeans, grey jeans, washed jeans. By the way, do you know what brands make the coolest and the most comfortable jeans?

Following the boho trend and still fashionable 90s trend, you need skirts that come in every length. Shop this mini skirt, that mini denim skirt, handkerchief skirt, this long boho skirt, dégradé midi skirt, and this beige tulle midi skirt.

Still, just to let you know; the most fashionable summer 2020 skirts are the pencil skirt, a high side slit skirt, and a midi skirt with a slit.

SEPARATES, ROMPERS AND JUMPSUIT

First thing first, the boiler suit. SS20 is still all about the utility cargo and safari fashion trends. So better check that box next to this boiler suit. Also, a must have is this set and this red romper. Ps. Check how to style red romper for summer if you buy one.

JACKETS AND OUTWEAR

For rainy summer days buy this beige trench coat, this leather trench coat, bomber jacket and this blazer with exaggerated shoulders. And yes, they all will be in style for 2021, too.

For not so warm summer you will need this jacket. No, not the denim jacket. Sure, the denim jacket is back in style for summer 2020. Yet, the trophy jacket of SS 2020 is a grey blazer. Surprised? I’m not!

By the way, also fashionable for summer 2020 are the 70s jacket and safari jacket. And a vest, as mentioned already.

SS20 SHOES

You already know the shoes that are out of style for summer 2020 and summer 2020 work shoes. Still, in case you haven’t bought all the shoes from that list already, here are all the shoes to buy this season. And here fashionable shoes to wear at home.

Ha, I’m not even sure where to start. It seems like we will have to change the entire shoe closet since most of our 2019 shoes are out of fashion now.

Nevertheless, starting with the thong sandals. Just in case this is the last thing you can afford after all this shopping. There is no doubt if you can only afford 2 new things this summer, you need to get thong sandals and a voluminous dress.

Hopefully, you still have some money left to get these strappy sandals, mules, square toe pumps, platform sandals, new square toe ballet pumps, high heel mules, retro sneakers, naked sandals, sporty sandals, T-bar pumps, heeled loafers, kitten heel mules.

Then shoes with architectural heels, Teva-inspired sandals, combat boots, square toe sandals, neon sneakers, platform pumps, Chanel slingbacks, Dior slingbacks, feathered shoes, espadrilles, Marry Jane pumps.

And for the last strappy sandals.

SS 2020 BAGS

In summer 2020 fashionistas are petting these bags – read you should splurge on these handbags if you want to look like IT girl: Bottega Veneta bag, Dior Montaigne bag, Chloé 70s bag, Chanel 19 bag, Simone Rocha pearl bag, the Row banana bag, Gucci 1955 bag, Celine teen Triomphe bag, Bottega Veneta BV Jodie, Alexandre Mcqueen the Story.

Furthermore, shoulder bag, raffia bag, top handle bag, and xl tote.

However, the most fashionable 2020 summer bags are a raffia bag, rattan bag, and a 70s satchel bag. The bucket bag is back in style too. Anyway, go through the 2020 bag trend report to see all the bag trends for summer 2020.
