Have you forgotten how to get dressed? I don’t mean chucking on the same knit and trackies you’ve been wearing for the past year. I mean like actually get dressed with purpose and consideration—a frock for drinks with mates at the pub, a cool pair of tailored trousers for a picnic in the park, a blazer for doing some Saturday shopping… There’s no doubt that while our love for fashion hasn’t waned, it’s been very centered on what we do inside our houses, so that means there’s been more of a focus on loose, comfortable and functional items. It’s not really been about getting dressed. Well, with spring coinciding with the easing of lockdown restrictions, it’s time to inject some fun into our outfits.
Thankfully, there are plenty of joyful colours that are trending for this spring/summer 2021 that are about to make this season’s outfits so good. All the runway collections for this season emphasised colour. For seasons upon seasons, we’ve been met with muted tones and less of a desire to showcase bright hues, but bold is back, and it’s all very exciting. When compiling this piece, I looked at, quite literally, hundreds of runway images and came to the conclusion that there are five major colours we’re all going to be looking to wear.
There’s the bright-pink trend we already told you about and a royal orange that’s ideal for faking a holiday vibe (even if you’re going nowhere), as well as a delightful scarlet and a green that is surprisingly addictive. There’s even a pale yellow to placate those who aren’t sold on the bold looks just yet. Keep scrolling to see our prediction for the coming season and have some fun wearing clothes again.
