7 Fail-proof Ways To Ace winter Dressing This Year
TREND / 2020-09-30
Winter is here. Well, such is the year 2021. The upcoming fall-winter season has much in store for the fashion sartorialists. From natural tones and gold, to different dress lengths and flamboyant volumes, there are plenty of stand-out trends to lift your spirits. Designers also showcased the omnipresent neutral color combinations on the AW20 runways. For rainbow lovers, there’s a myriad of bright shade to enjoy. So, there’s really something for everyone. Get ready to see some of these latest top trends from AW/21 fashion weeks everywhere you go, in this strangest of years.
The global pandemic has left the relative weaknesses of the fashion industry exposed and hence, fashion trends are a bit of a ‘’all dressed up with nowhere to go” situation. But who said that you can’t manifest your inner style goddess even if you’re confined to your living room? We saw the most jaw-dropping autumn-winter collections at Gucci, Molly Goddard, Carolina Herrera and Prada runways. Scroll further to see a curated list of top 7 styles that will get you acing your way through the streets and as well as the corridors of your home, alike.
1. Wide Leg Trousers Tucked into Boots
This latest trend of 2021 gives a new meaning to mix-and-match. Discover your bold, creative and confident side with the pants-tucked-in-boots trend. This trend puts a funky spin on a classic outfit pant-shirt, and adds a not-so-subtle punk twist to your ensemble. Whether you prefer combat boots or cowboy ones, you can match the loo to your personality by pairing the right comfy pants with it. To go alle dgy, add a biker leather jacket to complete the look.
2. Balloon sleeves
Tired of seeing balloon sleeves in the trend lists? Honestly, we too are. But, don’t we just love exaggerated sleeves? Bagging a trend spot means we can wear our fluffy sleeves one more season, without feeling out of style. So, it’s a win-win, really. This season, there is only one rule when it comes to balloon sleeves: pump it up, and pump it up some more. From refined ruffles and sausage shapes at designer collections of the likes of Chanel, Isabel Marant and Max Mara, statement sleeves have gone XXL and we quite like the idea of feeling like a royalty from the 80s spotting these.
3. Natural tones
Monochromatic and neutral outfits are not going anywhere. And we wish not! Boy, they are easy to replicate and look great on literally everyone. Be it a sandy-colored suit or a turtleneck sweater or a fitted leather skirt, don’t be afraid to experiment with varying shades of the neutral/earthy tones. If we stick to the runaways – try sandy and camel shades. The opportunities are endless with this timeless option. So, gather up those houndstooths, ginghams and pinstripes and get to work. Designers like Alexander McQueen and Brandon Maxwell offered elegant cross-hatched dresses at one end of the spectrum, mixed with grown-up leather accessories. Whereas Burberry wss all about neutral tights, skirts, coats, and headscarves – all worn altogether. Ace autumn dressing with this trend, each day and any time.
4. Leather
Your secret winter-dressing code: ‘’Keanu Reeves’s Matrix character’’. From leather shearling coats to trench coats, from capes to pleated jackets, this winter is all about buttery-soft leather apparel. Fendi’s collection features structured while Versace’s collection is more Nineties luxe. Designers are not leaving even an inch of the garment go uncovered in leather. And, you’ll be surprised with how quickly an all-leather piece can add polish to your look.
5. Gold
As the pandemic continues to take effect, Gold metal is smashing through new price records on the global markets regularly. But, good for us, fashion got there first: the February AW2020 runways were filled with glistening dresses, shimmering day dresses, and armored outfits (think Tom Ford, Paco Rabanne and Oscar de la Renta). If you’re shopping early for a holiday party number, this is the hue and trend to pursue.
6. Red
No one does Red quite like the Italian fashion giant Valentino. But it is not only Valentino who are still crazed about this fiery hue. Bottega Veneta AW2020 collection boasts of a sequin-spangled version of Red that was worn with rubber wellingtons. This is enough proof that you need to do Red this season. Don’t be overwhelmed, Red is quite a simple hue when it comes to pairing it with different ensembles. Believe it, it’s worth investing in this season. As Vogue once opined, “You cannot retreat in red”. Go get ’em.
7. Head to toe black
The autumn shows witnessed the front row filled with influential attendees dressed up head-to-toe in black. Even fashion designer Pierpaolo Piccioli – the master of colour, fell for it in a big way at Valentino AW2020 show. It’s time to strike out the neons and rich colour pairings in favour of black sequins, black corsets, black trousers, black coats. Black is moody, sexy and evergreen. We ain’t Nike but we’ll still say it – Just Do It!
