Look in your mothers or grandmothers’ wardrobes and see what they have hiding from the 90s. If there’s no such look, the next best place to go is to the charity shops, where you will no doubt find unique pieces for a great price, whilst also saving the planet by avoiding fast-fashion brands.

Another effortless yet chic look that will definitely be a big trend in 2020 is the oversized blouse.

H&M currently have in stores a white oversized blouse for just £17.99 which is a casual yet smart look. Yet again, the oversized blouse is nothing new, which means you can most likely find it in family members wardrobes as well as charity shops.

The mini handbag will be everyone’s go-to accessory next year. With all the stores and charity shops selling them, you will have no trouble getting your hands on one next year. These bags were everywhere in the 90s and can be paired with every outfit.

Quickly throw in your essentials and you’ll be out the door in no time with no heavy bag weighing you down.
