5 Best Current Fashion Trends

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, fashion trends of 2020 CMD368 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.

That’s because apart from crazy bold colours, all these styles rely on the same elements: straps, mid-section belts, vests, cosy 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

One of the most popular styles rocking the current fashion trends is the ever-so cosy 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 more tailored blazers, so you can’t mess it up no matter what.

2. Women’s Oversized Bomber Jackets

Trend 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.

4. Casual Trench

Trend tip:

If you’re looking for something different, grab a Nanushka faux leather trench and wear it over a floral dress or a ribbed wool turtleneck with matching heels.

You can’t beat a classic trench coat, the ultimate between-seasons outerwear. Not a fashion season has passed without the trench putting in an appearance, and the most recent shows were no exception.

With a perennially stylish military cut, the super practical trench coat is a fashion staple since the first world war. Also, thanks to the Gabardine fabric, the casual trench is perfect for drizzly days.

The coat of choice for iconic women for decades, the casual trench is brought back to life by Meghan Markle’s recent royal visits. Great with a cashmere roll neck and Prada tractor-tread boots to create that stylish and yet military-inspired outerwear look.

5. Boiler Suits

Trend tip:

An essential item if you want to look like a legendary model, just make sure you add a famous curf and that the bag matches your shoes.

This one-and-done hero piece has cropped up everywhere this year, from the runway to your favourite affordable stores. It’s easy, it’s cool, and it takes the stress out of picking pants and a shirt—because we all have enough to think about right now.

Traditionally made from heavy canvas or denim, the one-zip wonder was one of many game-changing inventions to come out of the industrial revolution. With boiler suits, comfort and practicality are both high on the list.
