There\u2019s still a good bit of good weather ahead of us and then it\u2019ll be that inevitable rush through fall into the holiday season and before we know it, it\u2019ll be 2020. We are working on identifying the hottest trends coming up for 2020 now, but in the meantime, our team did some current trend-spotting and came up with some pretty cool observations for us.
