What are the trends for Fall/Winter 2020-2021?

As the Covid-19 pandemic (see also: Where to buy the trendiest fabric masks online) began to ravage the world, the Fall/Winter 2020-2021 shows marked the end of an era. As for trends, while fashion has been going back to basics for the last few seasons, a mix of genres characterizes this Fall’s trends, at the crossroads of romanticism and biker style, the bohemian and the bourgeoisie, all-black Matrix looks, and pop silhouettes…

Jacket, jeans, dress… The trends, piece by piece

From trends already spotted on It-girls leaving the runways, to the advice of pros and designers… The possibilities are endless.

The dress
Cable knit, polka dots, or a shirt-dress with officewear accents, see the 12 long dresses we’ll still be wearing this fall

The jacket
The blazer remains one of the ultimate fall investments. With an androgynous charm, the safari jacket is a more casual yet timeless alternative.

Jeans
If we could only keep one denim item this year, it would be the jean. Whether a raw canvas or faded style in a 1960s/1970s aesthetic, these jeans have already been seen on top models, and spotted in the pages of Vogue Paris (on Mica Arganaraz‘s in the July 2020 edition).

Skirts
As for skirts, a retro wind is blowing across Fall/Winter 2020-2021: maxi length with a denim twist signals the star skirt of the season.

The coat
Sometimes timeless, sometimes crafted according to the season, there are 3 remarkable coat trends for Fall/Winter 2020-2021: an ultra-chic pea coat (belted or double-breasted), the must-have trench (in leather this season), and the cape, which finds its ultimate form with a bourgeoise twist.

Which shoes will we see everywhere?

Since they’re forever an essential accessory of any look, here are the star shoes of Fall/Winter 2020-2021.

The classics
Mary Janes, moccasins, or ballerina pumps, here are the models to invest in this season.

Boots
Military, cavalier, biker boots, suede… Find all the boot trends for this Winter.

Sneakers
Whether they’re from star collaborations or timeless designs, these sneakers spotted on the trendiest women are a streetwear staple look.

Which bags will we be carrying?

Whether a simple accessory or a superstar piece, the bag has the superpower of transforming a look all by itself, just like a well-selected belt (a style secret of the Vogue Paris editorial team). While this summer basket bags were at the top of our list, we’re opting for more urban but always fashionable bags.
