If Street Style Were a Thing Right Now, These 7 Trends Would Rule It

If it were any other year, we'd be sitting down to discuss the major street style moments of the last season and make predictions about what the fashion crowd will don at the next lineup of shows. Obviously, this isn't just any other year and with continued travel restrictions rendering in-person runway shows obsolete, the typical street style scene just isn't really a thing anymore (if at all). Of course, that never stopped the stylish set from dressing up and sharing their best looks with us, they've simply gone digital.

Well, the same goes for the would-be street style trends of 2021. Instead of scanning the latest images from New York, London, Milan, and Paris, we've taken a deep dive into the Instagram feeds of our favorite showgoers and found a few common threads among them. Seven themes, to be exact. From the new spring statement color that simply can't be missed to the eye-catching dress trend we're especially excited about, keep reading to discover the biggest trends that would otherwise be turning heads at fashion week.

There are plenty of bright colors trending at the moment, but one that's been drumming up the most excitement among the fashion set and our own editors is bubblegum pink. The can't-be-missed hue just so happens to photograph especially well, one reason why we're convinced it would rule the street style scene.

It wouldn't be a street style story if we didn't discuss at least one "risky" trend and right now, it's these creative cutouts that are taking center stage. Whether it be a dress with side cutouts à la Cult Gaia or a basic top with an asymmetric neckline, these pieces are stunning both online and IRL.

Although statement-making trends often lap up the spotlight, the fashion set has a sweet spot for its cool basics, too. The basic du jour? These suiting trousers with an ultra-relaxed, loose fit, especially in a light khaki color. The "grandpa" vibes are strong here.

Fashion has always had a fascination with subverting mainstream ideas of what's considered pretty, and here we have a new "ugly" trend everyone's embracing as of late: tacky florals. Think of the kitschy prints straight out of your mom's closet in the '80s: high saturation, busy patterns, and in-your-face florals.

You didn't think we were about to skip out on the shoe trends, did you? Strappy sandals are getting an upgrade this year with asymmetric straps and lots of toe-ring details that give a new meaning to the word complicated.

If there's one thing we know about street style trends, it's that the more eye-catching, the better. Checkerboard prints are a trend that came in hot at the beginning of the year and we expect it to only keep gaining steam as designers high and low experiment with the graphic pattern.

Fashion people like Giorgia Tordini and Devon Carlson dressed up in Prada to virtually attend their F/W 21 menswear show and simultaneously highlighted a new way to wear leggings: peaking out from underneath a voluminous dress. The creative layering trick is one we fully expect the rest of the fashion crowd to embrace, so it's one to take note of.

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...
