2021 Spring Trends

Away from the underwear-as-outerwear impulse came comfort: floaty, sheer maxi dresses promised easy glamour; ladylike ensembles pimped with a touch of sportswear, and wide-leg trousers made for bold strides felt suitably modern. Certainly, thanks to the ongoing pandemic, it was a season like no other. Here are the latest fashion trends of this spring.  

Monochrome Magic

In a world with no simple answers or even straightforward questions, designers showed a predilection for black and white – most often, together. Black and white dresses looked just the kind of elegant, no-fuss eveningwear we’ve been longing for.

The New-Look Bralette

Brace yourselves for spring’s most stomach-clenching trend. Bralettes are back with a ferocity last witnessed in 1998 when Jennifer Lopez paired a cream bra with a butter-hued suit. Whether faintly Fifties-tinged and flirty, entirely plain and minimalist, or covered in rhinestones, they brought a determinedly optimistic vibe to catwalks and presentations.

Take The Floor

Here’s one trend that has come to save those of us trapped in micro-apartments without so much as a resistance band for the company: floaty maxi dresses. The most romantic idea to appear on catwalks, floor-sweeping and sheer styles will confer on their wearer a glamorous cocktails-on-the-house status, even if the only foreseeable sundowner is a mojito in a tin on a high-rise city balcony.

Wide Strides

Skinny jeans and cigarette pant lovers: hear us out. Baggy trousers may not have the streamlining effect of your favoured slim-line silhouettes. But, they’re a bona fide trend for spring, and they’re showing their elegant side this season, taking over as your everyday trouser shape of choice. Quick march!

Cape Blend

There’s no better way to describe spring’s weakness for cape detailing, which is perhaps the ultimate in sartorial fantasy. No one, after all, is requiring a cape, however desirable they might appear. But fashion’s the funny habit of making you fall for something superfluous yet gorgeous. I don’t think anyone can resist this beauty.

Living Room Disco

Fittingly, given that none of us have worn sequins for what feels like eons, and most probably aren’t about to start wearing them any time soon, the new season’s crop of sparkly numbers semaphore relaxed glamour. Celine summed up the new laid-back mood with a red-carpet-appropriate gown worn on an athletics track-catwalk with sneakers and a baseball cap. Let the living room disco commence. 

Cut Out And Keep

The area underneath your rib cage and just before your waist is a new erogenous zone, according to many fashion brands. Cut-outs worked their way into gowns, sheath dresses, and slippery silks, spicing up conservative looks thanks to peekaboo glimpses of skin. If you’re wary of wholeheartedly throwing in your lot with this trend, we suggest you start here.

All the looks for spring 2021 are really different from each other. Imagine looking at your own self on the mirror with these outfits. It’s like when everything boring becomes all about excitement. That’s the beauty of the trends and maybe it’s not a bad idea to bring the looks into life.
