Some people are joggers gals for life. We completely get it, but how can you deny a good pair of denim jeans? Get the best of both worlds in our oversized wide-leg jeans that will not only look amazing in 2021, but will actually be comfortable. Pair with an oversized trench coat, a white shirt and a chunky belt and you’re good to go. Don’t forget about grabbing a pair of sexy heels to finish the look. Create a balance with something cropped or slim-fitting on top to keep your baggy bottoms from coming across as lazy. Plus, you don’t have to stick to just one pants style; wide-leg jeans, loose-fitting slacks, and yoga pants are all having a moment.
Belts
We were already coming around to the statement buckle, and now, more and more fashion influencers and icons are bringing back the mid-section belt. Try using this little extra to cinch a dress, blazer, or sweater, aka a trick that has returned from the early aughts.
Bralettes
Bring on the “bracket” trend. Celebrities can’t stop wearing bralettes under their cardigans and blazers, and there’s no time like the present to give it a try. You don’t have to match your bralette to your top layer, either — a simple black option will work with a multitude of looks.
Black-and-White
Add scarves, belts, and statement earrings, or play around with layering and pair your favorite white top underneath an elegant LBD.
Brights
Go all out! And, don’t shy away from borderline ridiculous combinations, either. Some of our favorite influencer and celebrity outfits take advantage of the color blocking trend, and there are so many shades that pair perfectly together.
Matching Sets
We enjoy amping up these pre-planned looks with a chunky pair of white boots, a blazer, layered necklaces, or a peek-a-boo turtleneck. And, if you don’t have a matching set (or, if they’re all in your laundry pile)? You can easily create a similar monochromatic vibe with pieces in the same color family.
Voluminous Sleeves and Shoulders
Sure, nothing is stopping you from channeling the ’80s, but we’ve also grown to love puff-sleeved pieces all on their own. A voluminous dress creates the perfect one-and-done look (especially for video calls), and puff-sleeved tops quickly make leggings, jeans, and even sweats feel fancy.
Chunky Flats
Sneakers and boots were definitely the most popular flat style for the past few years, but we can’t forget about loafers, ballet styles, and babydoll shoes. It’s beyond time to take those out of retirement. Add some longer-length socks to make them feel fresh and nail the preppy, schoolcore trend.
