Trend Watch AW21

It’s been a long pandemic. But just in the nick of time the fall runways channeled optimism to prepare us for post-COVID life. Vibrant hues, comfy knits, cheeky graphics. Hallelujah, fashion to the rescue! Whether your #WFH uniform needs refreshing or it’s time for a new career capsule, this season’s fashions are all about re-entry. Here are the top 5 key buys to shop this autumn winter season:

  1. Jewel tones
    Vibrant hues are here to save the day and this season offers a rainbow of colors to choose from — cobalt blue, hot pink, acid yellow, electric orange. Pick your fave pop of color and weave it through your fall wardrobe to add excitement, raise spirits and boost your vibration.

  2. Faux fur
    This trend is all about keeping COVID comfort alive, but leveled up. Think a luxe version of comfort like fluffy belted coats, soft chunky jackets and fun furry accessories like totes, hats and heels. Turn up the style statement by going with a colored fur to be the ultimate in chic, cozy and cruelty-free this season.

  3. Knitwear
    Cozy, comfy knits are back again, but with a touch of luxury that says “Let’s get out of the house”. Swap your trusty Zoom crewneck with a chic cable knit sweater set, dress or full length coat. It’s time to transition out of #WFH mindset and back into the world, so draping yourself in head-to-toe cable knits is a good first step.

  4. Logomania
    Designers are showing their playful side with crazy-fun logo treatments everywhere this season — ready-to-wear, accessories and footwear. The tone-on-tone, step-and-repeat logo trend is more subtle way to advertise your favorite luxury brand, but still equally as effective.

  5. Carry all tote
    Extra large carry all totes are the It Bag this season. Spotted everywhere on the runways, the trend is less about type as it is size. Buy for function and practicality over color and design, then pair with everything as you transition back into the real world. You’re going to need it!
