Are you ready to say “goodbye” to the gloom of winter, finally erase 2020? Well, with the fresh looks of Spring in 2021, you can transform drab to fab! With all the changes this past year, there are two different trains of thought for refreshing your style. The first embraces the comfort and casual way of dressing while working from home during the pandemic. The next is ready to break free of the loungewear and wants to dress up again in a polished, professional style. Faced with this dilemma, designers gave a bold, adventurous, updated look to wardrobe essentials: trench coats, blazers, and shirts. Also, the cheerful colors and patterns are heralding in a brighter future! The good news is that many of the spring fashion trends are from previous seasons, so fashion is becoming more seasonless, saving us money and the environment.
The Top Ten
Exaggerated Shoulders– Bold shoulders have been around for a while and are becoming a wardrobe staple. Puffy sleeves are featured in blouses and dresses this spring.
Boyfriend Jacket – The 80s-inspired oversized boyfriend blazer with shoulder pads creates a long line silhouette that cinches in your waist and elongates your legs. Wear with a pair of straight-leg trousers in powder blue, charcoal, and neutrals for an updated look that one can dress up or down.
Statement Collars– Statement collars are still on-trend for dresses, tops, and blazers.
Yellow Bags – Yellow bags rule the runways and the streets. This timeless trend is easy to replicate with so many shades and styles to choose from that suit your taste. Select a small clutch to spice up an outfit or a mustard tote for your daily needs. Yellow bags look incredible when paired with other vibrant hues or a monochromatic ensemble.
Puffy Quilting– Puffy quilting is all the rage right now. It is a great way to add intriguing texture to simple silhouettes and a fascinating twist on neutrals.
Checkerboard- There are endless ways to rock this trend! Whether you loved The Queen’s Gambit recently or wore the classic Van slip-on, you will be pleased to know that checkerboard prints are back.
Oversized Denim- Comfortable baggy denim is replacing skinny jeans.
Head Scarves- Channel your inner Grace Kelly with his sleek fashion trend from the ’50s and ’60s. Headscarves protect your hair and add a finishing touch to your outfit. There are so many styles to choose from silky designs with floral motifs or intricate patterns or simple ones with bold colors and block letters. The ways to wear it are endless, too, from wrapping the fabric under your chin in a loose knot to hanging off the back of your head. You may want to mix things up by wrapping them around your neck or let them dangle from your bag.
Pastel Tones- Pastel tones continue to dominate the fashion scene this year. These sorbet-inspired colors are the perfect option, suitable for a wide variety of skin tones. Suits and separates in the soft, buttery hues elevate your overall aesthetic and remain chic!
Tinted Frames- Fashionistas are always searching for retro sunglasses style. Once it was wayfarers, then aviators, then cat-eyes. Now, tinted shades, and particularly with yellow and orange lenses, are the favorites.
