From classic horror to modern trends
Powerful shoulder pads are essential for the updated 2021 version of this trend. Hailey Bieber brought us back to the '80s in this plaid blazer with contrasting collar.
The '80s-inspired oversized blazer made frequent appearances at fashion week this year. Emily Ratajkowski styled it down with simple black leggings and a bralette to take her dog for a walk in New York City.
Kendall Jenner takes a sleek approach to the oversized blazer with this satin jacket and sheer tights. Going shirtless underneath is an easy way to take it from daytime to nighttime.
It looks like face masks will be around for a while longer, and who knows, maybe people will keep wearing them during flu season even after the pandemic! A slick black face mask seems to be the go-to for most celebs, and it's become clear that they can be both stylish and practical.
Jennifer Lopez wore this black sequin mask, which adds an extra level of texture to this simple but luxurious outfit.
White leather boots reminiscent of the go-go era of the 1960s have been popping up everywhere in 2021. Ariana Grande adapts them to her personal style by going over the knee with a miniskirt.
Even Tom Cruise was rocking the black mask on the set of 'Mission: Impossible 8.' Social responsibility always looks good!
Hailey Bieber hits on two trends here with her oversized leather jacket and gorgeous leather boots from Jacquemus.
Gigi Hadid was spotted shooting on the streets of New York in these cowboy-inspired white boots.
Pastel tones have been making a comeback, particularly when it comes to daytime outfits rather than red carpet dresses. Karlie Kloss is artfully dressed in multiple shades of baby blue here, contrasting with her chunky white heels.
Kendall Jenner takes this sweet off-the-shoulder dress to the next sartorial level by adding lime green boots and long white gloves.
Phoebe Waller-Bridge went for pastel pink on the red carpet in this unusual wide-leg trouser suit. She’s hitting on two trends for 2021 here, as all-pink outfits are on the rise.
Yellow is a big color trend for 2021, and yellow handbags in particular have been popping up everywhere. Here, Jamila Jameel carries a small yellow bucket bag for a pop of color with this slick neutral-toned outfit.
A yellow bag is a timeless item that can be repurposed over the years. You can catch onto this trend with a simple yellow tote for your daily needs, or a yellow clutch to add some flare to an evening look.
Bella Hadid also goes for a yellow bag alongside neutral tones. Her chosen receptacle is a handbag from Jacquemus, the brand responsible for the microbag trend of 2019!
Designers and trendsetters alike have also been looking back to the glamorous era of Princess Grace. Why not take your inspiration directly from the source?
Kendall Jenner shows us how it's done by pairing her printed silk head scarf with some slick sunglasses and a modern outfit of tailored white denim. One scarf can be worn a number of different ways, so it really is the most versatile trend of the year.
Head scarves throwing back to the 1950s and 1960s were another big trend appearing at fashion week this year. The pirate style pictured here is reminiscent of the boho hippy styles of the '60s.
Model Joan Smalls wears this stunning Paisley print blazer from Etro to their Milan show.
Vintage, folk-inspired coats were another feature of fashion week in February, particularly at the Etro show in Milan. The rich colors and elaborate prints are a modern take on the styles worn by the likes of Janis Joplin in the ‘60s.
Outfits combining shades of yellow and camel have been showing up everywhere this year. It's easy to tie it in with other trends by choosing an oversized camel blazer or a yellow handbag.
Ashley Graham is stunning in this yellow wrap dress and camel coat. The warm neutral tones are a great complement to a summer tan.
The camel coat is a timeless classic. It's never a mistake to add on to your wardrobe and it's a great investment piece. Pair it with a mustard turtleneck in cold weather and you've nailed this trend!
Italian fashion editor and street-style queen Anna Dello Russo makes this otherwise simple outfit a show-stopper with bright blue velvet thigh-high boots.
Fringed handbags are back in a big way. Everything from a subtle leather fringe to giant strips of fabric that sweep the floor have been seen on the streets and runway at fashion week. These leather fringed bags were carried by models at the Hugo Boss show in February.
Eva Longoria was seen at Paris Fashion Week with this leather Balmain bag, demonstrating a more subtle and accessible approach to the fringe trend.
Outrageously feminine, over-the-top dresses are on the rise, despite the lack of opportunities for occasions wear on the horizon. Voluminous dresses with full skirts and mountains of tulle are being paired with chunky boots for a high-fashion daytime look.
These dresses can be worn loose and oversized to emphasize the ephemeral babydoll look. Fashion and comfort are forming a harmonious union in 2021.
