Summer Fashion Trends 2021: What You Need To Know

Author by: Istituto Marangoni Miami
Warmer weather is finally here, and with it comes all the expected fashion changes heralded by the summer. To fully discuss the upcoming summer fashion trends for 2021, it’s imperative to understand the main themes for this year, which include an emphasis on sustainability and getting back to the “human” aspect of fashion. This means less extravagant and more classic with the desire to help the planet. Naturally, this leads to supporting local designers and retailers. Fashion and sustainability haven’t always been friends, but with the increase in consumer awareness and industry innovations, we predict we’re going to see more sustainable fashion in the future.

Star Pieces For Summer Streetwear 2021

With a focus on sustainability, here’s a look at what’s trending this summer.

  • Dresses

Long dresses are huge in current summer trends. Pick a bohemian style or go for long baby doll-style dresses to look fashionable. For nostalgic looks, opt for a smocked dress.

  • Jackets

Bomber and timeless denim jackets are gaining popularity. Both are gender-friendly and great for a classy and cool look.

  • Jeans, Pants, and Shorts

Low-rise jeans and baggy pants are very in style. The wardrobe is now focusing on a retro vibe. With details of the 1970s, denim shorts are also emerging.
