T he fashion industry has not been able to catch a break in almost two years now. With each passing new trend, fashion as a whole has become something entirely different and unique, making space for everyone here. With the year coming to a close and winter already mid-way, let’s talk about the latest fashion trends so that you can stay on top of your game.
One of the biggest fashion hits this year was the rise in the popularity of oversized clothes, especially when it comes to winter wear. You can pair oversized clothing with some more of your size, too. For example, a large teddy bear jacket tucked into a skirt with neutrally colored tights and big boots is a look that took the internet by storm a few weeks ago. Now, a hoodie three sizes too big with an oversized pair of mom jeans and minimal jewelry is going to be the look that makes everyone jealous.
There’s no hard and fast thing to this. However, big pants with small tops are a look that nothing has yet beat.
Bottom line? The bigger, the better.
Perhaps one of the most surprising trends was the emergence of corsets in modern times. In a multitude of colors with both traditional lace-up and a more modern take of hook panels, corsets have become the newest (and perhaps the coolest) trends out there. These corsets can be worn alone with a pair of jeans or with a jacket or even over dresses and oversized button-ups or mock necks. These corsets can be worn in any pattern or color.
From solids to more flowery prints with delicate silk or chiffon, all of it not only goes but is absolutely celebrated. And if you’re not a fan of the whole corset thing, over clothes or standalone, you can even opt for corset tops. These are (usually cropped) tops with sheer paneling and cups to resemble the style of a corset without all the hooks and laces. You can pair them up with oversized jackets or even just wear them by themselves with bigger pants for a simple yet effective look.
Now you too can cry to Taylor Swift’s ‘Cardigan’ in an actual cardigan because these might just be the cutest new trend. Cardigans over small tops or even on their own have been an absolute fan-favorite among people. With softer colors and materials, these cardigans can be worn on their own or over small shirts or tops. Wearing only a cardigan with some well-fitting flare pants is also a trend we’ve observed in recent months. Not only that, but oversized cardigans are all the rage, too. These cardigans are the most comfortable new trend, from huge off-white cardigans tucked into jeans to pair with a skirt for a more classic look.
Another newer development in this style is cropped or mini cardigans, which end right above the hips. These cardigans can be worn with any style of jeans for a lazy yet absolutely adorable look that’ll have everyone dazed.
What you hated as a kid is now something that you might just find really, really cool. Puffed sleeves are back, and surprisingly enough, they don’t look absolutely terrible? From oversized button-ups with puffy sleeves for that victorian era look to square-neck tops with large sleeves, these are taking the internet by storm. You can even pair them up with corsets with a big white puffy-sleeved top and a simple black corset to put it all together and show off those gorgeous curves.
From milkmaid tops to just simple square-necked tops, these puffed sleeves make for a welcome addition. Pair them up with a pair of skinny or cropped jeans for the perfect look.
As the last on the list for the latest fashion trends in 2021, trench coats. With the rising popularity of ‘dark academia,’ it’s no wonder that coats and trench coats are back in style. Whether you’re wearing a dress or a plain turtleneck and pants, a trench coat is going to go perfectly with all. You can even pair them with a pair of chunky boots and sunglasses to give more of a cooler vibe. Nothing you can’t do with a nice coat, after all!
