Couturier also had to adapt to the new ways of living at times of pandemic, which is reflected on their recent works. The following are the most recent winter and holiday fashion trends of 2021.
Winter reinvents forgotten fabrics this year, as world-famous designers introduce leather and velvet in the latest fashion week. Leather is expected to be one of the biggest trends this winter season as it took over Versace and Ferragamo’s podiums. The workhorse fabric is to be essential in the wardrobe as one of the staple pieces this season, from well-known pants to edgy dresses. Another material that is making its comeback from a few years ago is velvet. Valentino and Chanel reintroduced the public to the beloved velvet pieces in the forms of exceptional jackets, pants, and dresses.
When it comes to statement pieces, the winter of 2021 will explore more into street style and revive the decade of the 1970s. Jackets remain one of the best investments one can make next season. Leather masculine blazers will be the most admired trend of 2021. The fashion world is rapidly shifting to the new era of jeans, forgetting skinny models and returning to the silhouettes of the 60/70s. The wide pant leg is the most recent trend seen on multiple magazine covers, including Vogue Paris.
Pantone’s trend forecasting and color consultancy are among the most reliable sources for examining what is in fashion at the moment. According to Pantone, the colors that defined winter 2020/21 at the New York Fashion Week are the mix of dark reds and oranges, coupled with light pinks and blues. Overall, monochrome looks are highly in trend, taking over fashion week’s runways, which may be the easiest way to be in style when on a budget.
In conclusion, winter 2020/21 mainly reintroduces the audience to the previous decades’ trends, returning several staple pieces, such as leather, velvet, and wide-legged jeans. The key elements of the upcoming seasons are reminding of the movie remakes, which are novel interpretations of the older trends, once loved by everyone. Therefore, this winter is the time to reinvent and recover the closet pieces from years ago.
