Wow, I can’t believe it’s already time for another of my trends posts! So twice a year I put together a post looking into the latest trends for the upcoming season. We’ll look at an overview, colours, trends, runway inspiration and a few sewing patterns. Usually, after I’ve prepared these posts I feel so enthusiastic to get sewing like crazy. And without further ado, let’s take a look at what’s in store for us and get some sewing inspiration from the Spring trends 2020.
(PS my lovely readers from the Southern hemisphere can check out this post of Autumn/Winter trends)
Sewing Inspiration From Spring Trends 2020: Overview
We’re still carrying on with the emphasis on individual eclectic style and of creative dressing. According to the trends researchers, rather than one or two specific trends, there’s also a stronger move towards wearability and longevity alongside sustainability.
A lot of the colours featured are pretty bright and there is quite a sense of fun and optimism in some of the runway offerings. Tailoring is big news and so are classic wardrobe items in general. Various areas of the body are being highlighted, particularly legs (shorts) and smaller areas exposed by cut-outs.
Pantone colours for Spring 2020
Several colours from the Pantone range come from the red and blue family and the colour of the season is ‘Classic Blue’ but let’s take a look at the full palettes… This time around I’ve got the range of Pantone colours from both London and New York Fashion weeks to show you…
First off, the New York colours. There’s a mix of traditional shades and also energetic bold colours.
Next are the London fashion week colours. These are equally bold and include some classic tones too…
Let me know in comments which colours you like the look of. My faves are Coral Pink, Cinnamon Stick, Chive, Lark and Faded Denim from the New York colours and from the London colours I like Bossa Nova, Rose Brown, Storm and Blush Beauty.

Thanks, Christine. Yea, it took me a while to put it all together, yet I always enjoy doing these posts. I’m glad you feel inspired.
Great post, Diane! I do love the new Spring sewing patterns from the big four, although I’m still finishing a few winter sewing projects. You highlighted some good ones!
Author
Thanks, Linda! I agree about the big four, they’ve been doing some great designs lately. Glad you enjoyed my post.
Thanks for all the work, especially the links to the designer collections. So much inspiration there! I had no idea that London and New York featured different color palettes. I like the NY one best as the colors are a bit deeper but what’s wonderful is that there is hardly a pastel in sight!

Thank you, Barbara, glad you enjoyed my post. I’m with you, I had no idea that there were different palettes for London and New York…unless this is the first year of Pantone doing that because I’ve been doing these posts for a few years now and not really noticed it before. Aren’t the colours great though?
Wow! Such fun to look over what you have put together here. A lot of work went into it. I like especially the safari looks. In fact I just posted a comment on your IG page about your Christian Aujard jacket. The colors are great also. Nice and bright for a change. Thanks for posting!
