Ready to try out some of the coolest pieces for the new year? Here, discover 7 affordable fashion trends to wear in 2021.
Checkerboard Prints
Fun checkerboard prints instantly bring an element of cool punk into any outfit you're wearing. In past seasons, we've seen plaids everywhere, so this feels like a fresh take on checks.
Shop the trend:
Bubblegum Pink
Neutrals have reigned supreme for many seasons now. While they'll still be sticking around, expect to see bold pops of bubblegum pink everywhere in 2021.
Shop the trend:
Second-Skin Tops
I love a versatile basic and for the season ahead the #1 closet staple is anything but boring. Second-skin tops with cool patterns will be the piece to own.
Shop the trend:
'90s Throwback Bags
Those cool baguettes that were a defining silhouette in the '90s are back in a major way, thanks to brands like Prada who have reissued the originals. Consider this to be the bag you can wear with just about anything.
Shop the trend:
Baggy Jeans
Buh-bye skinny jeans. In 2021, it will be all about the looser, baggier silhouette. Good news to someone like me who lives for pieces that are comfortable.
Shop the trend:
House Shoes
One of the biggest shoe trends in the S/S 21 collections? Cool, cozy house shoes. These reinvented slippers are finished with everything from plush shearling to buckled straps.
Shop the trend:
Knit Polos
The knit polo is a trend I'm very behind. A bit preppy but with a dose of cool, it's a great alternative to your basic T-shirt or button-down top.
