7 Trend-Forward Basics That Will Reach Cult Status in 2021

Last year, padded shoulder tees emerged as the must-own basic that you’d be sure to find in every fashion person’s closet. I personally loved the trend and have been living in them ever since I added them into my wardrobe. Easy, versatile, and stylish, they’re the piece that can really transform a simple outfit, whether you’re slipping into a pair of jeans or slouchy trousers.

Looking ahead to 2021, there's a whole new set of trend-forward basics that will be reaching cult status in no time. From tops with pretty ruched details to slouchy cargo pants to sandals with interlocking toe straps, all of these basics come with a few twists that instantly make them feel special and a little bit different from what you already have sitting in your closet. Ahead, the 7 cool, trendy basics you’ll spot on the fashion crowd in 2021.

Cutouts were one of the biggest trends on the S/S 21 runways, so it comes as no surprise that cool cutout tops are on the rise in the fashion scene. Simply paired with trousers or jeans, this instantly make whatever you're wearing a 'fit.
We've seen strappy sandals continue to evolve over the past few years. The latest iteration? These "tricky toe" versions which have complicated, interlocking straps at the toes. If you want to borrow a cool styling trick from the runways, add socks or a pair of tights when you wear them.
Recently there's been talk (again) about the decline of skinny jeans. While I don't think I'll even abandon them entirely, baggy jeans are all I want to wear at the moment. I love the idea of styling them with a tighter piece on top, like a bodysuit or corset top.
The moment I spotted the beautiful gathered pieces in Khaite's S/S 21 collecction, I knew that ruched tops were going to be one of the cult items to own in 2021. Simple yet elegant, they're a very cool update to a standard jersey tee.
Part of the larger slouchy trouser trend that is taking over in 2021, relaxed cargo pants are emerging as one of the key items to own this spring. With wider legs and looser proportions than styles from past years, they're the latest take on tailored utility pieces.
This year, sweaters are no longer just sweaters. They've been completely reimagined. Asymmetric hemlines, midriff-baring cutouts, arm warmers—knits have been reinvented and are cooler than ever.
One of the most memorable looks from the spring collections? An oversize pink button-down look at Valentino that has already been spotted on celebs like Dua Lipa. These upsized collared shirts are set to be a mainstay in fashion insiders wardrobes.

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...
