Top 10 FASHION TRENDS IN SPRING/SUMMER 2021

1. OVERSIZED HATSIf you so much as glanced at your Instagram feed last summer, you no doubt spotted a Jacquemus La Bomba hat. N․ow entirely synonymous with SS21, it seems brands are vying for similar cult status next season by producing their own delicious incarnations that we already can’t get enough of.


2. SENSIBLE SHORTSC ycling shorts may have stolen the show last year, but – and thank the Lord – next season things are looking a little looser. Tailored, micro, knee-length… skirts may be given a few months off as we all look to the more boyish alternative for our new summer go-to.

3. TIGHT PLEATS․Having had a successful run last year, pleats are back for SS21 but this time they’re a whole lot more intricate. Tighter than before, the micro pleat provides maximum impact as it generates not only more movement but also a more fluctuating silhouette as it expands and contracts. Science-y, eh?

4. TIE-DYE․I know. We were all surprised at the recurrence of this 60s print, but alas it seems tie-dye truly is back in fash. Admittedly, 2021s take on the trend is a hell of a lot chicer. Make like Stella with a no-holds-barred approach and opt for a bold matching two-piece, or – if you’re anything like us – you’ll likely favour a more subtle beach maxi.


5. FANCY FLATSWhile models over at Halpern, Ashish and David Koma were teetering precariously atop stiletto heels, things at Valentino and Simone Rocha were a whole lot more down to earth. About six inches closer to said earth, to be precise. And boy are we looking forward to spending next season in comfy, fancy flats for the sake of #fashun.
6. SUMMER WATERPROOFS․If last summer’s unpredictable weather taught us anything, it’s that you can never be too prepared. So providing you also carry a bikini, sunglasses and knee-high wellington boots with you at all times, these fair-weather waterproofs should serve you well.

9. PUFFED SHOULDERS.Bold shoulders are no new thing, but rather than padded, boxy numbers, next season’s take is a whole lot puffier. Often gathered at the shoulder with pleats of elastic, they work particularly well with square necklines on feminine dressesHere’s hoping the weather allows us to forgo a jacket, or that volume could provide a stumbling block.

10. SEQUINS.Have sequins ever *not* been on trend? Perhaps not, but they were so prevalent at this month’s shows that we can’t ignore them. Offered up in endless incarnations, opt for a more gently beaded style – like Ashish’s mint green jumpsuit – for a friend’s birthday dinner, before swapping into blindingly glitzy Halpern-like number for your own.
