It is said that fashion is a reflection of society’s current state. As this past year has been a unique year—in more ways than one—forcing many of us to adapt to this new normal of an at-home lifestyle, it also has significantly impacted fashion trends. Favoring the more practical side yet still celebrating a colorful fashion moment, the emerging trends that will continue into 2021 directly reflect this new normal. Think style choices that accentuate above-the-keyboard looks through strategic cut-out placements on sweaters, dynamic square necklines, and mood-boosting jewelry—equally cozy as they are trendy.
This year has taught us valuable fashion lessons that we will undoubtedly continue into the new year, from new loungewear outfit pairings (you would have never considered) to completely rejiggering our wardrobe for good. Embracing the ease of loose, wide-leg trousers and nap dresses, we’ve introduced new trendy wardrobe pieces into our essentials line up that we simply cannot wear enough. And while we’re hoping that the new year rings in with new hope and energy, we’re quite content with the fashion trends remaining the same. Ahead, discover the 25 trendy buys that will be so 2021.
