I've Worked in Fashion My Entire Career—I Predict These Will Be 2021's Top Items
Even though I never studied fashion, I landed a job in the industry after college and I’ve been working in fashion ever since. From my beginnings at a brand to a shift into my current role as an editor I’ve seen many sides of the industry that have shaped my perspective on all things fashion. But if there’s one thing that has been consistent, it’s my love of studying what’s on the runway and the cool trends people are wearing. That couldn’t be more true today, even though I’ve been watching runway shows on my laptop and seeing trends unfold on Instagram instead of in person with the recent shifts this year.
After logging hours combing through the coolest runway trends for spring and seeing the latest product drops, I have some predictions to make about the popular fashion items designed to be big in 2021. Ahead, I’m highlighting some of my favorite trends and an edit of the must-buy items if you don’t want to wait until next year to start wearing them.
For spring, we're seeing cool cutout details on pieces across the board but these cool exposed hips might be my favorite take on the trend. From high-cut bodysuits to pants with holes on the sides, these pieces are just beyond cool.I'll admit that the '90s hobo has been making a comeback for some time, but with the launch of Prada's Cleo bag, the trend is again standing out as a must-own piece. If you make an investment in one bag for 2021, this should be it.Louis Vuitton's pillow boots just launched this week and I can already tell that they're going to be one of the biggest It-shoes in recent memory. Who doesn't want to slip into comfortable quilted boots like these?While I'm not ready to part ways with my sweatpants, I have been thinking a lot about all of the elevated loungewear sets spotted in the S/S 21 collections from brands like Proenza Schouler and Totême. With everything from ribbed pants to sleek vests, these are a sophisticated take on at-home dressing.Shop the matching Nidia Ribbed-Knit Cardigan ($170)Shop the matching Float Rib Shorts ($350)Shop the matching Soft Feel Pants ($30)Second-skin tops are one of the pieces our editors can't stop talking about. The trend has been on the rise for some time now but after spotting it on the S/S 21 runways from brands including Miu Miu and Prada, you just know it will be an essential for the year ahead.Checkerboard prints everywhere for spring, but I'm falling ever harder for the pattern after my recent obsession with The Queen's Gambit. Unlike some other prints, this is one you can wear and re-wear without getting tired of it.The puffer jacket has had a long run and while it still feels cool, it's the utility vest that especially relevant. Plus, it's perfect for someone like me who lives in L.A. and doesn't need true winter outerwear.Just like the rest of our wardrobes, jeans are getting a more relaxed makeover. Designed with looser legs, these are the ultimate way to wear denim that's comfortable but also very fashion-forward.
If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
