The notion that restrictive periods have historically given
rise to usually extravagant fashion trends might prove to be true in 2021, as
nearly eight months of hindered activities have a good chance of giving rise to
fashion trends which might be termed to be ‘out there’.

The trends in 2021 for both men and women will expectedly
include, at least in the earlier months, outfits that look good, while, given
the current health hazard, are utilitarian enough to give people a chance to
venture outdoors.

The list is largely predictive and entails trends that have
already occurred in the past decades as well as few newer ideas emanated from
the pandemic-ridden situation.

Fashionwear for women to look out for in 2021:

70’s are about to return with baggy pants

Flared pants with a comparatively wide, 70’s style flared pants with the
decade’s favourite bright colours like red or charcoal are set to make a return
under the spring 2021 banner. With several years of narrow-ended, skinny jeans
running the market for both men and women, the pants would be an interesting
change in the bottom wear section in 2021.

Wide shoulders

An interesting inclusion in
fashion trends that might be coming up in 2021 is the re-invention of wide,
exaggerated shoulders with coat or blazers, adding on the occasional extra
padding to amplify the look. In order to reshape the look and adjust it to the
rest of the outfit, the designing has been reimagined for 2021. The style was
featured in several fashion weeks throughout the current year.

The broken monochrome

After ruling the runways
a couple of years back with several celebrities pushing the aesthetic, the
monochrome has returned, except this time around it accompanies a slight change. The styling has currently adopted a breakup of the monochromatic look with a
splash of colour from an accessory, that can be anything ranging from a purse,
to a pair of shoes to bright-tinted shades. The breakup colour should ideally be
something bright that catches the eye contrastingly against the monochromatic styling,
like bright red or charcoal.

Crochet

Come Spring 2021, crochet and similar
woven designs are predicted to be a substantial trend because the climate as
well as their comfortable fit. Reinventing the 1960’s style with bigger stitches
and matching accessories, the trend is set to overtake the stage in the coming
year.

Marves

One of the most innovative ideations in
fashion in 2020, marves are effectively protective face cover and a style
statement rolled into one. A scarf that also covers the face from nose-down and thereby acting as a mask, the
cover works wonders against pandemic blues, and in the wearer’s favour as a fashion
statement. It is expectedly one of the biggest trends to reign the market in 2021.

Men’s fashion trends in 2021:

Utility basis

The positively mad trending of
the safari jacket last year as returned in a new form as utilitarian designs
with stress being transferred onto function. A solid, military-style top (jacket,
long coat) has gotten a casual, somewhat funk styling with everyday formal bottom
wear (corduroy pants, formal trousers). The items used also got heavier, as leather
and canvas are among the items thrown into the mix.

Bomber jackets

Classic winter bomber jackets are
set to return, and in a lighter way. The 2021 Spring season jackets that might
blow up in the next few months are interestingly light, both in texture and in
colour. With refined and often cropped looks, the jackets present a minimalist
look in classic winterwear, which in itself is a rarity,

Mixed prints

For the summer season, however, colours
will be heading your way in 2021. The tie-dye designs from last season are largely
being put a spin on, effectively turning them one of the most established, sure
shot trends of the spring-summer collections across the world. The new print is
a mixture and shaping together of various juxtaposed prints, and is expectedly
a riot of colours.

Ultra-wide trousers and Bermuda shorts

For the
Spring-Summer 2021 season, a major design about to hit the market is that of
the ultra-wide trouser and as an addition, wide Bermuda shorts. Just like the
womenswear section mentioned above, the extra-wide feature reigns in men’s fashion
as well. For trousers, a high-cut and retro style were prevalent across designs
sent out recently. In case of Bermudas, finishing right above the knee seems to
be the trend this season, and can be paired up with running shoes or sneakers
with tube socks.

Caps, hats and headgear

The prominent feature
to out-style and out-utility head protection covers in the fight against COVID-19
in 2021 are set to be headgears like caps and hats. While cowboy have a chance
with retro-style outfits, casual trends can be complemented with caps in order
to aid the wearer against COVID-19 infection.
