The 3 Spring Summer 2021 macro fashion trends
This is how fashion changes. Here are the SS21 main trends.
The key concepts for the next season? Forward-thinking, enthusiasm for the future and reassuring elements with a look at the past. The fashion trends of Spring Summer 2021 represent all the contradictions of the time we live in: we’ve already tasted this in the hybrid fashion month, marked by the connection between digital contents and fashion shows. From New York, London, Milan and Paris, this is how the designers have read the contemporary features of fashion and traced the new creative path.
Mix & Match
Color, experience and creation. On the catwalk we find 50:50 dresses that combine polka dots with stripes or romantic flowers with abstract motifs, but also the art of patchwork which has no boundaries in terms of style and fabric. There’s a strong focus on recycling and handmade, as an expression of uniqueness and self-determination.
Comfy minimalism
Clean shapes and no-logo mood: the minimalism of 2021 is far from the typical East rigid style. The new wardrobe is made up of relaxed suits, soft sweatshirts, lightweight dresses and accessories stolen from everyday life. The color palette is inspired by nature with the neutral and light-colored shades of the rocks, the sand and the underwood.
Back to the past
Focusing on the past means returning to the roots: in order to write new stories, designers bring back to life their own history. Archival shapes and prints peek out on the SS 2021 catwalks, while craftsmanship once again becomes the key player on the stage. We can see it in bootcut jeans and floral patterns, as well as in the archive bags proposed in new shades and in the art of crochet used for garments and accessories.
