My Friends Wore the Bushwick Birkin Before Anyone—They Say These Items Are Next

When editors try to gauge what’s trending for upcoming seasons, it's typical to look to the runways, but sometimes the most impactful and persistent trends stem from the people you know. Take the Telfar bag–or otherwise affectionately known as the "Bushwick Birkin”– It may have just exploded to cult-like status this year, (Oprah even placed it on her list of 2020 Favorite Things), but I noticed it within my Brooklyn neighborhood on the arms of my friends, colleagues, and acquaintances going back to 2018. When something is so good that it becomes ubiquitous among stylish people, the editorial world can't help but notice. It’s instances like this that cause me to weigh my friends' opinions of fashion just as heavily as the designers that make them.  As we approach the new year, my mind is ever more conscious about what’s next for the changing fashion landscape. I consulted five of the coolest people I know (including those that were hip to Telfar way before it blew up) about the fashion buys and trends they see dominating 2021. Read on to see their full fashion forecast.
"I think clogs will make a comeback in 2021, mainly due to the fact that they're the polar opposite of sneakers which I think have had their moment. It's worth noting that Ugg x Eckhaus Latta created the chicest clog-inspired platforms I've ever laid my eyes on." -Robyn. 
"I think instead of nameplate necklaces, fashion lovers might turn to emerging jewelry lines. Only Made is a newly launched brand offering their take on clean, elevated pieces like necklaces, bracelets, and earrings."
"For anyone tired of seeing the same bags on their Instagram feeds, my guess is that they'll turn to bags from brands that are just getting their feet wet. Marshall Columbia's Mini Plush Purse is an exciting option that might become a cult favorite next year."
"Brands that make clothes with deadstock fabric like Collina Strada and Mia Vesper are living in the future — a sustainable future that we all should be working toward since there are way too many clothes that are wasted in landfills." –Andrew
"Dressing comfortably is a top priority for most of us nowadays. But the glitzy queen within me will never truly die. Nonchalant rhinestone trim on a cotton button-down perfect is the perfect blend of that."
"I'll be twirling on the streets in pleated skirts once things open back up again, specifically plaid schoolgirl ones. I'm totally into that look right now."
"The trucker hat era was truly a vibe back in the day. It's a nostalgic item and this hat by Mowola, a Nigerian designer based in London captures the spirit of the early 2000s."–Becky

"The SS21 collections from brands like Burberry, Miu Miu, Bottega, and Givenchy featured some heavily embellished garments. Post Vaccine I think people are gonna step out looking FLY as HELL in heavily armored looks."

"Personally, I love a comfortable stylish sandal but what's even better is comfort + height. I really like the platform sandals from Bottega Veneta and Givenchy's latest collections- I think they are fab... sometimes it's just best to tower over your haters!"
"I am huge on having an art-filled home, but some pieces just aren't accessible to me right now. So it was super dope that Nina Chanel x Uno created a special deck of cards - the moment I saw that I bought them ASAP."–Lorenzo
"I recently got this double-face cashmere blanket from Proenza Schouler and it's just super easy for quick walks to the bodega or if I am taking to my dog on a quick walk. I am plotting on a Loewe blanket next."
"I truly hate tying my shoes, or putting on loafers and I noticed artist/friend S*an D. Henry wearing these sick green clogs - so I decided I wanted to try some out, I went a more comfortable route and got these Birkenstocks that I literally live in now."
"I want everything tie-dyed nowadays, it's my favorite way of adding a bit of fun and child-like appeal to my wardrobe. AMP Wata creates these dope tie-dye t-shirts and hats–but good luck getting a hold of them, they sell out in seconds when she drops them on Instagram. I am praying one of my favorite artists, Brianna Rose Brooks, restocks their dope tees, they hand-dye each tee and add a screen print."
"I love this showing your g-string moment that’s been happening, but I love it even more when it’s decorated with a gold chain or gold charms. It’s like a statement necklace for your backside. With 2020 being a year of reflecting and learning more about yourself, 2021 will be the year to step out and express yourself... hopefully through booty accessories."–Devine
"Over accessorizing with chunky statement rings/nameplate rings is really catching my eye. We all love a gold nameplate necklace, but now it’s time to make room for the rings. And like the NBA, the more rings you have the better."

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

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...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

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...
