We all read what Virgil Abloh, founder of Off-White and artistic director for menswear at Louis Vuitton, said about how streetwear is “definitely” going to die and that “its time will be up” in 2020. Perhaps he’s right. How many more t-shirts, hoodies, and sneakers can you own? The connotation of this idea is probably staggering, considering Abloh is one of the major forces of streetwear. But it’s 2020 now, so what will be trending? Are the roaring 20s making a modern comeback? Are the untethered 70s slowly grasping our attention? Well, let’s see what fashion stylists and designers are hinting at for this upcoming year and how the Pantone Color of the year, Classic Blue, will affect your outfits.
