If the pandemic taught us anything, it’s the power of a classic button-up shirt and elevated basics. Minimalism is everywhere you look, but it doesn’t mean you have to stick to a neutral colour palette. If you’re someone who has a classic aesthetic or you’re dedicated to a capsule closet, adding a few elevated basics can give your closet an updated feel.
You want to keep an eye out for heritage blazers, trench coats, and blazers with a vintage feel. What can make your basics elevated is the material, texture, and colour of the piece. If your favourite piece is an oversized shirt, give it an update for spring/summer 2021 by buying a new one in a trending colour. You can stay within your comfort zone and avoid picking up pieces you might only wear once or twice.

You can take your new spring/summer 2021 pieces and carry them through for the rest of the year. Do you have a closet staple that you love? Give it an update with one of the trending summer 2021 colours.
After a year of wearing lounge bottoms and yoga pants, none of us are ready to go back into skinny jeans. In fact, Gen Z have cancelled skinny jeans. It doesn’t mean you have to turn your back on denim –rather the opposite. Instead of choosing figure hugging denim that ends up making you feel bloated, invest in a pair of loose-fitting denim jeans.
The rise of this trend is partly due to our new-found love for comfort driven fashion. If you’re a fan of the 70s aesthetic, loose jeans are an easy way to incorporate it into your spring/summer 2021 closet.
Choose a pair of high-waisted jeans to see you through the season. You can style them with everything from crop tops to oversized hoodies and sneakers or slides. Silhouettes to look out for include boyfriend fit, flared jeans, and bootcut jeans. If you still prefer a more tailored look, a high-rise straight-leg jean is a great way of embracing the trend without having to choose flared jeans.
While denim comes in almost every colour, you want to keep it classic with a blue-wash denim. These lighter shades are the perfect choice for spring and summer. You want to avoid dark wash or black denim until later in the year.
If jeans aren’t your thing, you can add denim to your spring/summer 2021 closet with a dress or jacket. Denim is becoming one of the must-have fabrics for your closet. Whatever your aesthetic is, there’s a denim piece waiting for you.

Gone are the days when collars were kept for fancy dresses. They’re now official in the mainstream of fashion and it’s time for you to jump on the bandwagon. The collars that we are seeing everywhere in fashion aren’t the dainty sort that you would put on your dog. Oh, no. The larger the collar, the better! We want collars that make a statement, that have ruffles and sequins. The sort of collars that you spot across a room and that make your outfit.
Spring is blooming and it’s the perfect time to treat yourself to a new handbag. After a harsh winter spent in lockdown, enduring socially distanced walks and being without our friends and family, it’s the least you deserve. Spring brings with it a myriad of bright shades that jump to the front of our closets. While we usually associate spring with pastels, this year’s spring handbag colours are focused on richer hues that make a bold statement where you go. These are the six handbag colours you should consider investing in for spring 2021.
There’s always a time when we want to refresh our wardrobe. Maybe you’re tired of looking inside and finding nothing you can wear. Perhaps you’re someone who likes to overhaul your closet every few months to keep it looking fresh. Buying an entirely new wardrobe every season isn’t possible for most of us. The pandemic has shown just how little clothing we utilize, as we all get in the habit of outfit repeating in the world of Zoom calls. Most of us ignore at least half of the clothes in our closet.
The first time you hear the phrase ‘Y2K’ it might stop you in your tracks. The name simply refers to the year 2000, focusing on the trends of the early 2000s up until 2010. Why are the trends back so soon? Usually, most fashion trends work on a twenty-year cycle as one generation grows up and sees the clothing style of the previous one. The Y2K trend has been made popular by Generation Z, who have come to love the trends they were too young to appreciate as children. There are Instagram accounts with hundreds of thousands of followers, dedicated to posting y2k fashion inspiration.
