Sick of your old sweater? Longing for something other than loungewear?

Getting up to date on the incoming 2021 trends might lift your spirts.

We’ve gathered expert advice and compiled a list of the hottest 2021 predictions for your new wardrobe. Whether you’ll be heading into office or sticking to Zoom meetings for the forseeable, we have the trend for you. You’re welcome.

Give a Nod to the Upper Bod

Cropped sweaters and jackets have been all over the runways this year. Balmain, Chanel, and Alexander McQueen all featured their share of cropped pieces- and with its popularity and versatility, this trend isn’t going anywhere.

Little Blouse on the Prairie

(Okay, so this trend is about dresses, not blouses. But you must admit- that title was too good to pass up.)

We know what you’re thinking. Florals, for Spring? Groundbreaking. But ditsy Boho-chic dresses have struck the catwalk once again. With designs from Nicole Miller and Elie Saab leading the way, we know you’re already searching for the nearest countryside cottage to run away to à la The Holiday.

Power Puffball

The last few years have seen a rise in puffed detailing. Puffed sleeves came back into circulation and continue to be a staple. And on the SS21 runways this year, Loewe took puffs to the next level. Puffed pants (not unlike Hammer-pants), puffed sleeves up to your ears, and baby doll dresses that- you guessed it – puff out. Pair with cute sandals in the summer, and tights and Doc Martin’s in the Winter, and you’ve got yourself a versatile trend.

Trendy as Folk

An eclectic mix of folk patterning and bold color contrasts mark this Scandi style. Think elaborate embroidery; chunky knits; your Grandma’s favorite blanket from the 1970s. This trend screams cozy but practical, and we can hardly wait until next Autumn to work this look.
