Following on the 2020 fashion trends – of online business meetings and WFH, 2021 brings some refreshing changes you’ll love to hear about. If past fashion trends were first gathered from the world’s runways and fashion magazines; nowadays, from social media, youth culture, streetwear styles, and celebrities showcasing what’s cool and fresh.
Unfortunately, the fashion trends of 2020 didn’t help much – in the sense of inspiring the general public – so this year is out of the normal path. So far, we’re still seeing a spring/summer season with models wearing masks on the catwalk and an audience watching via Zoom.
But, in contrast to the apocalyptic settings the fashion industry is going through right now, the latest trends show artistry so fabulous that it lifts one’s mood from even the darkest depths of quarantine.
Compared to the neutral looks of the 2020 fashion trends, this year is showcasing fresher and bolder designs, in part driven by a need to come back to life, after the gloomy global lockdown. The hottest fashion trends of SS21 enchant us with: Oversized blazers, sleek face masks, feathers that spark joy, and monochrome chic add-ons, encouraging us to go bright and bold.
To some extent, the current styles resemble the 90s fashion trends in the sense of mimicking the silhouettes and patterns of those seasons, with one big difference. Old styles are reinvented in relaxed, oversized, and loud colors, like nothing we’ve seen before, explained by experts as ‘our need to compensate for the Covid-19 lockdown boredom.
As fashion changes fast, keeping up with the latest fashion trends will help immensely, be that for a Covid-safe dinner date or just a walk in the park. To top it up, replicating the current fashion trends won’t cost you a dime.
That’s because apart from crazy bold colors, all these styles rely on the same elements: straps, mid-section belts, vests, cozy maxi tops, pilgrim collars, micro-minis, strange new denim shapes, outrageous leggings, silly seems, and sweatshirts. Without further ado, these are the current fashion trends dominating 2021 that you should try
1. Hoodies under blazers
tip:
Match it with high-rise sox and oversized sneakers for a super-casual London look.

One of the most popular styles rocking the current fashion trends is the ever-so cozy hoodie, however, worn with a twist. Regardless, wearing a blazer with a hoodie is no longer just another street style but a transcendent, mainstream look.
Wearing your quarantine-staple-piece hoodie under a blazer adds an extra stylistic layer to your overall look. It works wonders with oversized, boxy blazers, but you can also get thinner hoodies to work with more tailored blazers, so you can’t mess it up no matter what.
Look for a slim, tapered hoody — preferably a darker, solid hue, without too much embroidery or graphics. Pair it with a dark, solid blazer. Slacks or denim are up to you — either will work depending on the occasion.
2. Women’s oversized bomber jackets
tip:
Match it with high-rise sox and oversized sneakers for a super-casual London look.

Bomber jackets should always rest loosely on your hip – unless you’ve opted for a slightly cropped style. The clingy cuffs shouldn’t go past or above your wrists, no matter the fit. The cuffs should be relatively tight, so if it hangs over your hand loosely, try a smaller size.
The hues, in this case, are almost always neutral, somehow empowering the underneath attire for an effortlessly chic aesthetic.
3. Cropped cardigans
Trend tip:
For an extra cute look, mix your cropped cardigans with lounge-ish sweatpants or a midi skirt.

Nothing defines the contemporary fashion trends quite like a cropped cardigan. A vintage-inspired trend kicked off by high brands like Alessandra Rich and LoveShackFancy, quickly copied by Zara and Forever 21, and other fast fashion brands.
Regardless, if putting together a cute outfit seems like too much to handle right now, a skinny knit with your favourite jeans is the perfect answer. Styles range from basic button-ups to embroidered, embellished, or printed knits, so there’s pretty much something for everyone.
You can wear these shrunken knits with slip skirts and a leather jacket, especially when you need another layer. Of course, jeans and boots are also great accompaniments for a cropped cardigan. But however you style it, it’s safe to say you’ll be super comfortable all day long
5.Colour blocking
tip:
Clash pink and yellow, orange and blue, green and black to create the most effective blocking effect.
As seen at:
Laura Biagiotti, Tod’s, Molly Goddard, Hermes, Fendi, Stella McCartney, and Versace
Clash rainbow brights to stand out, bringing classic suiting and romantic ruffles into 2021 by mixing punch-packing pop colours with vivid greens. Colour blocking is one of the most surprising ways you can make a statement by pairing contrasting colours, or colours you wouldn’t usually put together, to create bold focal points.
The secret to pulling it off is sticking to simple shapes – think classic shifts, maxis, pencil skirts – and choosing shades that are the direct opposites on the colour wheel. There are also many colour stories happening in street style thus far that’ll blow you away.
The current fashion trends see all-over brown blended with primary and secondary colours like kelly green, fire-engine red, and Pantone’s most intense hues.
