New Trends for Spring/Summer 2021

What’s coming up this season,

new trends for Spring/Summer 2021

There has been something of a shift this season as a result of the pandemic with more restrained options being presented. There has also been an emphasis on the longevity of designs, rather than a rapid change for each season; evolution rather than revolution, with sustainability coming more to the fore..

Styles are echoing some of the 1990s looks this season with clean minimalist looks and more unisex designs as well continuing themes from last season. You may already have items that will still be contemporary. • Sharp lines associated with the 90s are coming through along with transparent fabrics and thin straps. These are contrasted with chunky chains (continuing from winter) and cut out detailing.

Strong blazer lines with sharp shoulder pads are also in evidence and add up to some key options for those who need a more striking look, with angles in their clothing. • A theme we have seen for a few seasons is the emphasis on metallics and leather. From silver to warm tones of gold and bronze • Some 70s boho chic is also continuing this season with crochet and fringing. Romantic dresses with transparency and flow can also be seen. Volume in sleeves will also be accenting dresses and tops in this season. Shirred edging and ruffles are also combining for a romantic, feminine elegance look. • Classical tailoring is being reimagined this season blurring the lines between formal and casual. The

‘work from home’ items are being updated to introduce some cleaner lines with a more relaxed aesthetic. Those who favour a formal classic jacket will be able to take this trend on. • An escapism feel for summer is being echoed with brighter colours, and vibrant patterns in easy silhouettes. Designers reflecting a desire to lift the mood in our clothing styles. • Colour – this season has focussed on naturally derived colours. Neutral tones of camel, peach and rose are featuring as are the complete range of greens from apple sage to ice green. Blue is continuing to feature in all its hues heavily this season and particularly French navy. Highlighter brights make an appearance to add pops of colour. Optic white (for those who can wear optic white…) can be worn top to toe this coming summer!
