10 fashion trends you need to know in 2021

After months of sitting inside wearing nothing but sweatpants and that dirty, comfy t-shirt, odds are you want to show out when you finally have a chance to be social again.

But while the world might have stood still, fashion trends continued to march on and what was popular pre-quarantine might seem off now. Here are 10 trends, new and old, that you should know about for your next socially-distanced event.

Gender-neutral clothing

Harry Styles made waves with his December Vogue cover shot depicting the singer-songwriter in a light dress and blazer.

Twitter had a field day with many praising Styles for challenging social expectations surrounding gender-specific clothing.

In a Guardian interview, Styles laments the idea that fashion is somehow indicative of one’s sexuality or gender.

“I want things to look a certain way,” Styles said in the interview. “Not because it makes me look gay, or it makes me look straight, or it makes me look bisexual, but because I think it looks cool.”

“Gender-neutral” can be anything, but the trend is largely defined by its rejection of strongly masculine or feminine features, often opting for fits that are less fitted and more versatile.

Y2K Fashion

Fashion is famously cyclical and often nostalgic, so it makes sense for the fashion trends of the 90s to come back into play.

Staples like pleated skirts, denim-on-denim, cropped t-shirts and baggy sweaters can be seen in abundance on TikTok, Twitter, and DePop.

Beanies, slip dresses and the beloved bucket hat have also returned in popularity with time.

While college students now will largely not personally remember the 90s, many of us probably grew up wearing some hand-me-downs from older siblings that embodied Y2K style.

Check out your local thrift stores or raid your family’s closets and find some unique, retro pieces that bring you back to the time of CRT televisions and beanie babies.
