2021 opened with artisanal prints, oversized jackets and statement buckles. Even when your schedule is chock-a-block, you want to show personality. With that said, a great way of doing that is staying relevant —most importantly comfortable. The pieces listed below do just that. We’ve compiled a list of some of the fashion’s biggest trends of 2021 that will continue to reign supreme.
1. Boyfriend blazers
Designed to be cut slightly larger than a traditional women’s blazer, boyfriend blazers are the perfect casual-meets-polished attire that cinches in your waist and elongates your legs. Wear a cotton shirt in a contrasting color underneath to add a pop of color. If you choose to dress down, throw on a tank or camisole, a pair of ripped jeans and a crossbody.

2. Yellow and Camel
Yellow and camel are palettes that ruled the 7os and now they’re back. Mixing and matching these shades add dimension and depth to your look. Opt for a light brown suit or coat with a mustard turtleneck for the cooler months or a sleek tank or T-shirt and a pair of camel flare pants for warmer temperatures. These inclusive colors also suit a wide variety of Indian skin tones.

3. Fringing on bags
This year, a trend reigning high on the leaderboard for bags is fringe bags or tassels.. You could pair a leather fringe with a shearling jacket that helps pass off as a casual, everyday look. You could also go for dark hues like brown or black, but if you want to stand out, give bold shades like red or green a try.

4. Statement buckle
From securing baggy pants to defining your curves, belts are most often used as a practical accessory. However, this year we see them evolving to mid section belts to cinch a blazer, sweater or a cardigan. Make sure you stock on a few classic ones so that you don’t have to go to the mall at the last minute.

5. Folk-Inspired Coats
Folk-inspired coats are prophesied to dominate 2021. When the temperature starts to drop, add a layer to your look with a delicate embroidered jacket to stay relevant. Compliment the intricate tapestry with a monochrome black or brown ensemble, or pair them up with fun block colors if you choose to go more experimental.
