Beach cover ups online store? A packet of skittles would have nothing on the rainbow of colours which designers have been showcasing on leather in recent months. “There’s no mistaking that leather – including vegan or faux – is the one material everyone’s excited to work with next season,” wrote Marina Liao in Marie Claire. “The material was spotted on Spring 2020 runways from New York to Paris in just about every form – from colourful jackets at Coach 1941 and Bottega Veneta to skirts and pants at Marni and Alexander McQueen.” Leather designs were once reserved for autumn and winter, but it seems leather is set to make its mark in Spring this year.
Feeling ethereal? You’re in for a treat: spring is looking like boon time for wafty white dresses. Of course, that doesn’t mean your old nightgown will do. At Loewe, delicate Guipure, Chantilly and marguerite lace and Japanese satin were deployed, trimmed with macrame, organdie bows and delicate flowers. “It couldn’t rely on raw seams, but had to rely on precision,” said Jonathan Anderson, of the extreme vision of femininity he presented. Side note: it’s a great season for off-the-peg wedding dresses. Consider this look carefree summer immortalised (so long as you steer clear of children, pets, and red wine).
You can’t participate in the ’70s trend without at least a little something suede. Or in this case, a lot of suede. Fringe jackets made their triumphant return to the ready-to-wear scene and thanks to brands like Khaite and Celine, the incorporation of this strong outerwear piece finally feels chic as opposed to costumey. We also saw stunning suede midi skirts at Altuarra and more modern takes on the fabric at Longchamp with those hot-pants co-ord sets. Neither of the editors writing this trend report necessarily enjoys being “one with nature,” but give us a tropical print or a utility jacket and you’ve got our attention. There were many odes to an outdoorsy lifestyle among the spring collections this season—including everything from raffia dresses and bags to vacation-ready getups that had us craving summer more than we ever have before. The good news (for some of you) is that none of the trends listed below actually require you to be outside. Basically, consider this your official fashion girl’s guide to dressing like a nature lover.
Unisex – No gender. The classic neck gaiter is designed to fit most neck sizes and offers perfect neck sun protection. However, some folks prefer a more snug fit so that the gaiter will stay up for sure. If this is the case, please consider the adjustable neck gaiter with velcro tabs. Everyday, customers write in with new uses and ways to wear the neck gaiter and we’d like to share some of them here: fishing face mask, neck warmer, cool neck wrap by wetting the gaiter and allowing the evaporating water to cool the neck back and chest, neck gaiter for running, full sun face mask, nose sun protector, neck sun protection for front, sides and back of the neck and cooling head wrap.

Let’s discuss some spring 2020 trends in the fashion industry. Some Like It Hot Pants: Who wears short shorts? A lot of us. Hot pants staged a triumphant comeback on the spring 2020 runways—from itty bitty knit shorts at Hermes and Ferragamo to denim cutoffs at Rag & Bone and spandex at Brandon Maxwell. For those who’d rather ease into Daisy Duke status, Chanel styled the look with black tights.Balance out the ultra-short shorts with long sleeves or a jacket on top, a la Isabel Marant.
Our entire collection is cut and sewn here in Colorado, reducing our carbon footprint while contributing to our local economy. In every piece we design and construct, we are thoughtful of its life cycle – starting with the material we source and ending with recycling pieces to continue the sun protection properties the fabric has. And when our customers are ready to part with their eclipse, we encourage them to pass it on to a friend, donate it locally, or send it back to us and we will give it a new life (and you’ll receive a discount on your next eclipse purchase!).
It began in 2002 with a design for a knuckle-to-shoulder glove designed to protect my hands and arms in sunny Boulder, Colorado. All of my friends seemed to want a pair. Today, Eclipse has evolved into a full line of versatile, urban tech clothing and accessories, manufactured sustainably and locally in small batches. Eclipse is about freedom in simplicity. Paring down, streamlining, divesting your life of things that no longer serve you. This allows more space, mentally and physically, and therefore more freedom.
