We’ll be saying “spring has sprung” before you know it.
Given our newfangled virtual fashion week circuit, everyone (yes, you!) has a front-row seat to the spring 2021 collections this season. Maybe democratizing fashion week is an important reminder that fashion devotees must band together, especially in times so trying. While some designers understandably decided to opt out of full-fledged runways this season, the show (as a whole) must still go on. And for many, fast forwarding to the new year’s collections are a welcome distraction. Here, we kick off some of the spring season’s top trends.
Fantasy Florals
Flowers, which signify new beginnings, peppered the runways at Rodarte , Anna Sui, and Erdem. Some designers took an all-over approach by mixing florals head-to-toe.
On The Hole
Showing some skin—by any measure— feels like a necessity after wearing oversized loungewear for months on end. From turtlenecks to bodysuits to full-on jumpsuits, designers found ways to reveal flesh in unexpected ways
Birds of a Feather
We’d all love to spread our wings and take flight at this moment in time, but for now, a feathered skirt—perhaps in purple—will have to do the trick. Whether layered with puffers à la Fendi or worn with chunky knit sweaters as styled at No. 21, the feather trend has fully taken off.
White Before Labor Day
Trade in your little black dress for a cream or ivory ensemble. Jacquemus created ethereal maxi silhouettes suitable to walk down the aisle in, while Khaite and Bevza’s are ready and waiting for a night on the town
Best of Bras
Undergarments that promote function are one thing, but making a midriff-baring fashion statement are what spring 2021’s bras are all about. Go for matchy-matchy like Dolce did or try a cheeky twist on “business-casual” as seen at Tom Ford and Rosetta Getty.
Hang Loose
Balance out your newly acquired bralettes with spring’s wide-leg pants that reigned king on the runways at Chanel, Balenciaga, and Louis Vuitton. At DSquared2, wide leg pants were styled with lingerie-leaning camisoles. At Fendi, they were polished, paired with knit vests and shrunken blazers.
