10 Colors We're Phasing Out in 2021

Whenever spring is approaching (which I guess you could say it kind of is now), I start thinking a lot about color. Color isn't something I wear a whole lot of during winter, instead opting for black, camel, maybe a bit of burgundy. So the idea of putting on something yellow or pink come April is very enticing to me (especially in the midst of January). This year especially.

Given the incredibly tough year we've all just experienced, I'm predicting that mood-boosting colors will be at top of my mind, and many of my fellow Who What Wear editors agree. I asked all of them to share with me the color they're kind of over right now, and the one they're welcoming into their 2021 wardrobes with open arms. You'll see some common themes and some exciting color trends to look forward to. Scroll for our pink, blue, green, and violet thoughts.

"I typically go for muted hues and neutrals, but I do like a pop of pink from time to time. I want to test out the fun bubblegum pink trend rather than the more toned-down pink hues."
"I don't know why, but it's always been difficult for me to style army green. I've tried, but the few pieces I own in the shade, I just don't gravitate towards on a regular basis, despite its popularity as a neutral hue. Instead, I've been loving brighter greens on the celery and emerald side. I've so much fun playing around with the brighter hues and contrasting them with other colors like purple and orange."—Yusra Siddiqui
"I'm phasing out most of the beige in my closet this year, although I'm keeping a few key staples. The head-to-beige look just isn't one that feels fresh to me anymore, and instead, I'm looking to warm brown and tan tones as trendy neutrals du jour."—Anna LaPlaca
"I've always loved bright colors, but quarantine has really limited my wardrobe's color palette to grays, beiges, and other neutral tones. This spring, I'm excited to re-inject colors and printed pieces back into the mix to bring my style back to life. I'm looking forward to pairing bubblegum pink and screen-printed pieces with my neutral basics for a simple reboot to my wardrobe."—Jasmine Fox-Suliaman
"To be totally honest, I typically stick to neutrals over bold colors in my wardrobe. With that in mind, last year's popular electric green trend never really grabbed me. However, I have been gravitating toward forest green shades recently. To me, it feels as versatile as a neutral, while also adding a rich pop of color."—Kristen Nichols
"I went on a lilac binge about a year ago where I bought anything that remotely looked like the color, so now I have the lovely vestiges of this obsession in my closet. I've been trying to make it work for me lately, but my current style doesn't really jive well with this soft and sometimes juvenile shade of purple. Instead, I've been loving the uplifting nature of creamy neutrals like oatmeal and pale yellow. They're still of the neutral color family but are a less expected shade and are really flattering against my skin tone."—Indya Brown
I can’t say that I’ll be getting rid of it per se, but wow, I wear a lot of gray. I may even own more gray clothes than black. But with spring on the horizon (eventually), I’m planning on lightening things up with some cool pastels. Lavender is my favorite color, so that’s probably the one I’ll be shopping for first this spring. I don’t even care if it’s a trend or not. It makes me happy.
"I own far too many beige clothes, and this year, I'm ready for a refreshing change. Instead, I'll be leaning towards soft blue hues (inspired by Max Mara's Resort Collection)—a color I've always loved which compliments my skin tone."—Judith Jones
"Even though it's not true that you can't wear white after Labor Day—just ask J.Lo—I don't wear it as much these days because it's not conducive to my lazy, low-maintenance quarantine style. (If you can even call it 'style.') White is just so easy to get dirty, so I'm wearing a lot more navy than I used to. Navy is a good dark color for me because black can look a bit harsh against my very pale skin."—Erin Fitzpatrick
"I definitely wore a lot of black in 2020 just because it was easy. Like many, I was feeling uninspired by my wardrobe and a look consisting of mainly black was the go-to. This year, I want to branch out and opt for colors that actually make me smile like bubblegum pink. This color feels fresh and exciting for spring and I think I will be pleasantly surprised by how easy it will be to style amongst my khaki pants and dark denim."—Lauren Eggertsen

Next up, the anti-neutral color trend that will rule 2021.

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...
