The Fashion Trends Holding Strong in Fall 2021
2021 has been a whirlwind, and with the Spring-Summer 2022 shows already passed, we have arrived squarely in the fourth quarter of 2021. But the last few months of the year are the perfect opportunity to elevate your aesthetic and lean into the most sophisticated trends of the season. After all, we are heading into the party portion of the year—and after a missed holiday season, who doesn't want to lean in? Here the trends we'll be continuing to wear for Fall 2021 and into Winter 2022.
1920's Redux
It may just be the beginning of the soaring '20s, so nod to the most raucous of decades past with fringe embellishment and frocks with drop waists to shimmy into the wee hours of the night. Go ahead, make yourself a classic cocktail to hold while you do so.
Back to School
Fall is the prime season for back to school dressing. To take this in the polished direction, think irreverant preppy classics such as rugby shirts, blazers, sporty letterman jackets, and plaid. Just be sure to add some contrast, so your look remains cool—not costumey.
Ski School
Who didn't take up a new outdoorsy hobby in the last year? Take that new activity and infuse it into your winter wardrobe with quilted puffers, shearling embellishments, and luxe separates that will have you more than well suited for apres ski.
Animal Print
Let's face it: animal prints are fabulous year round, but the pervasiveness of leopard print this year has us buzzing. Talk about the easiest way to add patterns, texture, and a dash of fun. In our minds, animal print is almost a neutral.
Statement Coats
The statement coat was an essential for Winter 2020 as we lived so much of our lives outdoors. Leading with a statement topper though, is a fabulous way to get excited about dressing for cooler temperatures. Think: colorful furs, bright geometric patterns, and all of the texture.
Knitting Factory
We'll be keeping our cozy and protective knits, thanks. This year though, it's head-to-toe chunky knitting, colorful stripes—and the oh-so-pervasive knit maxidress that will reign supreme.
Shine On
Bring the light with sculptural gold and silver pieces. Is there anything more celebratory?
Quilts on Quilts
Reference the comforts of home and inherited textile treatments with quilted outerwear.
Maximalism
After a subdued and restricted year, bring back the exuberance in your dressing. All that's needed? Feather embellishment, bright hues, and shimmering pailettes. You dare dressing to impress and whoever see it won't be able to doubt that—or forget it.
