Trends in fashion are changing so fast that sometimes it’s hard to keep up and it seems like every year everything is a ‘hot’ trend and the next year it’s ‘not’ a ‘hot’ trend, and the year after that it’s ‘now’ a trend, and so it goes. Some people say we live in an era of change; I would definitely agree with that being said, especially in the world of fashion, but even in an age of change it’s important to understand the trends and where they’re headed. Here’s some advice on knowing what the trends in fashion are for the year:
o A major fashion trend for the year 2021 is a return to the 80s style dress trend. It might sound crazy, but because the decade ended so quickly it reminds us of the fun, carefree times of the past. This trend might involve wearing pink flocked dresses with turquoise jewelry, or it might involve wearing a bold pattern dress in a bold color (like a bright orange). For the women this would be a good time to buy a few new clothes in bold colors (just in case). You never know when the fashion gods will drop a big bright color on us.
o The second most popular trend for the 21st century is the 80s-style dresses. This might sound odd, but the key factor that sets this style apart from other fashion trends is the bold shoulder line. A lot of the high fashion designers of the past were missing the boat with their dress designs back in the day. They tended to make dresses that had sharp, blocky shoulders that looked stiff and rigid rather than feminine and sensuous. Thankfully, the trendsetters of the 21st century are finally catching up with the times and creating dresses that have bold shoulders without being overly feminine. These trends might include strapless dresses with wide leg straps and knee high boots (think Back to the Future), or they might include short sleeve, cap sleeves, ruffled hemmed dresses and beautiful asymmetrical floral prints.
