The name Laura Ashley has become synonymous with the kind of romantic, retro, flower-power designs that transport you to the era of Little Women. From feminine fashion full of floras and old-school silhouettes to bedding and furniture that invokes a simpler time, pretty much anything that the British brand touches brings on a little bit of nostalgia (hello to our childhood bedding!).

Now, thanks to an exclusive partnership with trend-setting Urban Outfitters, you too can get that sought-after vintage look. The store is honoring Laura Ashley’s legacy with a collection of items that bring the looks to modern times. Proof that everything that’s old becomes new again, the feminine items feature puffy sleeves, mock necks, and quilted hemlines.

Another year is coming to a close, and whether you had the best year ever or have been ready for 2020 to roll around for several months now, it’s a time to not only reflect on the past but also look ahead. Apart from life changes and potential resolutions, we’re starting to think about the clothes and accessories we will be wearing, and now is the perfect time to figure out what the 2020 fashion trends will be and get ahead of the game. Hopefully, we’ll even be able to snag some during our holiday shopping.

Two trends that are continuing into the new year are clothing subscription rental services and sustainability. In 2020, experts say that there will be a shift away from streetwear and logos to a more feminine vibe; trends will continue to pull from the ’90s, as they did in 2019, but with an emphasis on the decades’ minimalism versus the more-is-more trend; and wearable shapes, colors, and textures will make getting dressed not only fun but hopefully stress-free. We asked the experts at some of our favorite stores to see what 2020 fashion trends we should be buying.
