2021 Autumn Fashion Trends That Will be Everywhere

Bright Colours

Bright colours have graced the runways and Instagram feeds of big fashion brands lately and for good reason. It seems that there is a universal feeling of wishing for an escape, and what better way to channel that than through your wardrobe?

Loungewear-Inspired

This one is pretty self-explanatory and makes a lot of sense given the current circumstances. Why get dressed to the nines when you have to self-isolate? However, being comfortable while working from home doesn't necessarily mean sacrificing your style. If recent trends have proven anything about what we can expect in 2021’s fashion scene it’s that sweatpants can, in fact, be chic.

Knit Dresses

Just like loungewear-style pieces coming into fashion, our guess is that this trend is equally about comfort. For those times when you want to feel a little more put-together while still being cosy as can be, a knitted dress is the perfect option. Throw one on with some nice earrings and swipe of lipstick and you’ll be the best dressed at your next zoom meeting. We promise.

Puffy Sleeves

In line with the bright colours trend, we’re guessing that this one stems from a desire to shake things up. Or maybe we’re all just binge-watching Bridgerton.

While it may not be the time to hit the town, who says that we can’t get a little experimental with our outfits? Try this on for size while lounging hanging the house, and you just may find that exaggerated sleeves become your “thing” this year.

Suit Sets

For when you want to look chic but also don’t want to think about it, there is no easier outfit than a suit set. This year, it seems that the masses are leaning towards baggier styles, and we can’t complain. These slouchy suits somehow look both effortless and put-together. Talk about a dream outfit.
