For 2021 my aim is to be as self-disciplined as possible when it comes to trends. While I think designers should keep pushing towards a more timeless approach to design that prioritises longevity, it can be too easy to demonise the concept of trends as a whole. Ultimately, re-invention is what makes fashion so exciting, the key is to just focus on styles that remain true your personal style and that don’t run the risk of being worn once then discarded. With this lens in place, I’ve been passing my eye over the trends that are coming up for spring/summer 2021 and making a shortlist of styles that I feel will slip into my pre-existing wardrobe with ease. My first point of call? The waistcoat.
