Who would have thought that we'd still spend 2021 in lockdown because of the COVID-19 pandemic? Due to the stay-at-home orders, the fashion industry has been experiencing the effects of the global health crisis. Good news, though! We've come up with a list of 2021 fashion trends so you can still dress to impress!

  Fashion Trends to Know This 2021  

Did you know? Online clothing shops are still popular! Have you heard of "#BudolFinds"? It's when you buy clothes that you aren't sure whether and where you can wear them. Plus, you don't even know if you can use them on your next planned trip! Despite these, we cannot deny the fact that we still buy more clothes. Naturally, Filipino Millennials are always in search of what's in and what's out of fashion trends!

 

Oversized pants, Y2K throwbacks, the ultimate boyfriend jackets these are just some of the top 10 trendy hyped styles this 2021.

  1. Wide Leg Suit Trousers/Oversized Pants  

Here's to a more relaxed and chic alternative to skinny jeans. We definitely love butt-hugging styles, but who doesn't like the feeling of free, flexible legs with wide-leg pants?

 

These wide-leg trousers are a must-have in your closet. Create a perfect balance to your outfit with some cropped or slim-fitting top!

  2. Y2K Aesthetic  

The comeback of the Y2K aesthetic is a big influence brought by Tiktokers who are into nostalgic vibes. It's all about bold outfit choices with an affinity for the 90's fashion. Y2K outfits have silver and metallic features, tight leather pants or large jeans, short skirts matched with crop tops, dresses and tank tops over t-shirts, and furry short coats, or puffer jackets. Expect it to stick around for some time!

Dresses one of the crowd favourites this year! Dresses remind us that clothes and fashion have no gender. Embracing style without gender boundaries, and dressing to express win the fashion world and break the norms.
