Have you immersed yourself in the fashion of summer 2021 yet? Unfortunately, the sun doesn’t come out every day, but that doesn’t mean you can’t look fashionable. So, what are the hottest fashion trends for summer 2021? We’ve compiled them below to help you achieve the best looks of the season. From iconic tube tops to glamorous retro looks and inspiration from the underwater world, these fashion trends are shaping up for the summer of 2021!
Tube Tops and Bandeau Tops
The biggest trend for summer 2021 is the tube top, also known as the bandeau top or strapless top. Like many other recent trends, the origins of the tube top date back to the 90s and early 2000s. It is a favorite item of many influencers and celebrities such as Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid.
Underwater World
This summer, fashion is all about the underwater world, and you can incorporate that into your look, be it starfish prints, jewelry and accessories in the shape of seashells, and wet-looking hairstyles. It’s not such a strange trend for those of us who are ready to enjoy the sun, sea, and vacation. We can also see the underwater world style in Versace, Burberry, Pucci, and many other famous brands.
Lots and Lots of Stripes
Another staple in the summer ’21 fashion trends: stripes. Authentic, fresh, and summery, that’s exactly what we’re looking for this season. Stripes are always a good thing (they’re classic for a reason), but we’re also seeing a lot of colored stripes this summer. So, don’t be afraid to wrap yourself in this pattern from head to toe!
Crochet
With the lockdown, many people have taken up crochet as a new hobby, but that’s not the only reason why crochet (read: knitting) items are so popular right now. Since last year or so, there seems to be a growing emphasis on what they are made of, and craftsmanship is becoming more and more essential. From beautiful crocheted bodycon dresses to vintage spencers and dresses, crochet is an excellent example of this.
Cow Print
When it comes to animal prints, tiger prints and panther prints have led the way for years. Now it’s all about cow prints! You may have seen it on Instagram or TikTok, but you are also seeing it in stores more and more. This is partly because celebrities and influencers such as Gigi Hadid and Claire Rose Criteux are big fans of cow print. Jackets, blouses, jumpsuits, bags, boots… Cow mania comes in many forms!
Retro Vibes
Retro has been in vogue for a while now and will be again in the summer of 2021. That’s because fashion brands are all returning to the classic 60s and 70s trend. One such trend is the scarf in the hair, which made a huge comeback last year. This year is no different, only bigger and better, and the cool hairstyles that are trending for the summer of 2021 should be paired with retro looks like halter tops, flared jeans, and groovy jumpsuits.
Monochrome Outfits
In addition to cheerful prints in all colors, monochrome outfits in neutral colors are totally “you” this summer. The timeless beige and white have predominantly been seen on the catwalks, for instance. This trend is particularly ideal for women who are a bit shorter in stature since wearing one color can optically add a few centimeters to your body.
Back to Basics
In the fashion world, it’s all about going back to basics. This summer, get your basics right: a nice pair of jeans, a white blouse, and a black T-shirt. Simplicity and quality come first. Jeans come in many shapes and sizes, but this season’s most significant denim trend is the straight-leg jeans.
