Fashion companies are confronting a new reality after COVID-19. They must adapt and be agile, digital-first, and achieve faster speed to market.
One trend that’s making a comeback is the bucket hat. A staple of hip-hop in the 1990s, this iconic item of clothing is making a comeback this year with a vengeance.
Fringed Jackets
Fringed jackets are an easy way to add a splash of glamour to your ensemble. Try pairing them with a black dress and platform boots for an effortlessly stylish yet effortless look.
Fringe trim has made a resurgence on the fashion scene lately, featuring prominently in designs from Derek Lam, Edun, Hugo Boss, Diane Von Furstenberg and Anna Sui.
In the 1920s, fringe style dresses became increasingly popular. Madeline Vionette and Charles Worth were two designers who popularized this look with bold floral prints featuring long sweeping fringes.
Fringe jackets are not only a fashion must-have, but they’re also practical for repelling rainwater and keeping warm during colder temperatures. Not only that, but they make for an easygoing weekend look or day trip out in style!
Mini Skirts
Mini skirts have a long and storied history. In the mid-1960s, British designer Mary Quant pioneered them by raising the hemlines of her jersey dresses several inches above the knee; she affectionately named them after her beloved car.
The look quickly gained notoriety and was adopted by women around the world, from the UK to France and beyond. It marked a groundbreaking development for female fashion, challenging traditional gender roles while inspiring an entirely new generation of young designers.
Miniskirts have made a comeback in 2021, as designers bring them back into mainstream fashion with their collections. But this micro-mini trend may be harder than ever to pull off than ever before.
For a more mature appearance, pair a mini skirt with a cropped jacket for an outfit that feels professional yet not too sexy. Additionally, opt for flat shoes to help balance out proportions and give off an effortlessly chic appearance.
Cut-Outs
Recently, you may have noticed a trend among fashion shows and Instagram accounts: dresses decorated with cut-outs. These tiny bits of fabric allow for the display of skin beneath the garment, turning any dress into an eye-catching creation that exudes confidence and femininity.
Cut-out trends, often associated with nights at the club and rebellious teenagers, are back in full force – sparking a resurgence of party wear. Plus, sensuality and sexiness have returned to fashion’s spotlight once again, finally sending loungewear and sweatsuits to the back of your closet.
As a result, now is an excellent time to invest in a dress with some skin-baring details like Zendaya’s ab-flashing canary gown. However, cut-out dresses can be styled in many different ways from casual to formal.
Workout Dresses
The workout dress has become a must-have item for 2021 fashionistas. These stylish garments typically consist of stretchy nylon-spandex fabric with built-in shorts underneath a skirt.
This garment is incredibly versatile, suitable for workouts, running errands, brunch or WFH days – in short, any activity that doesn’t require a full outfit. They come in a range of sizes, from XS to XL. Some even offer taller versions for larger women.
As a result, they’ve become an incredibly popular trend among retailers and influencers alike. Fashion and beauty editors have even dubbed them “summer’s hottest trend” and the “go-to outfit”, and these trendy looks are still going strong in 2021.
