Fall Winter 2019-20 Key Theme Directions Womenswear
Trendstop brings FashionUnited readers an early preview of one of the
key thematic influences for Fall Winter 2019-20 womenswear.
The Trendstop team give FashionUnited readers an exclusive look at an
essential womenswear theme ahead of the FW19-20 international Fashion Week
events. A new take on tradition sees the revival of classic American and
British outdoor heritage styles, updated with a contemporary sportswear
influence. Hybrid aesthetics bring together weighty textural handles and
vintage prints with youthful performance elements that will be inspiring
apparel, footwear and accessories for Fall Winter 2019-20 and beyond. Our
curated seasonal Macro Themes evaluate each trend’s commercial value and
longevity, giving you the best possible basis for your decision making.
This week Trendstop present three aspects of Beyond Heritage. Fusing
traditional fabrications and motifs with modern fashion innovation offers
the best of both worlds. Functionality and performance are key across
apparel, footwear and accessories and broadens the appeal of classic styles
to a wider consumer base.
Apparel
Heavy duty statement outer layers are infused with a subtle
sports/street vibe as traditional patterns are reimagined for a new
generation. Previously formal pieces take a more casual approach with
oversized proportions and cosy, cocooning volumes. Unexpected surface
treatments, sportswear detailing and modern colour combinations add a
fashion-forward edge to classic heritage pieces.

Footwear
An earthy palette informs Beyond Heritage footwear as outdoor inspired
elements are given a formal twist. Polished Chelsea boots come with ribbed
rubber treads, referencing rain boots. Antique burnished leather uppers and
woolen textured panels bring a new dimension and depth to minimalist mules
and clean-lined retro runners.

Accessories
Accessories utilise heritage checks and premium leathers for a heritage,
heirloom feel with clean, functional shapes and considered detailing
providing a minimalist update. Street infused staples are reworked in
tapestry-like jacquards that blend the old with the new.
