The pandemic has clearly seeped its way into the designers’ fashion process as we see the large-scale netting becoming one of the ultimate spring layering pieces for Spring/Summer. This season is all about home and relaxation; where designers experiment with macrame and slouchy open-work net patterns for added textures and extra breathability. Burberry took it to the next level by adding stunning crystal embellishments to their netted outwear as bold statement pieces, truly captivating our hearts.

Power shoulders are back this season, and they are here to stay. Spotted everywhere on the runways, these iconic shoulders presented themselves in many exciting variations. From puff-sleeved tops to strong-shouldered power suits, these iconic shoulders are a symbol of strength and empowerment. For example, take inspirations from Balmain’s innovative collection: it features powerful silhouettes with sharp, dramatic shoulders that are unforgettable and iconic. So enter the year 2021 with a brand new sense of confidence. Go big, or go home!

One of the memorable trends from Milan and Paris Fashion Week would be the see-through trend. At Fendi, soft sheer fabrics were juxtaposed with woven knits and embellished with artful embroideries to convey themes of family and nostalgia. This season, you can try wearing a sheer organza blouse over a simple cami top for a minimal, delicate look.

Who says self-isolation has to be sad and gloomy? Look on the bright side! Designers like Riccardo Tisci, Miuccia Prada, Raf Simons, and Silvia Fendi have embraced plenty of bold and bright colours for their S/S 2021 Collection. Especially for Miu Miu, the collection was overflowed with playful candy colours like bubblegum pink, electric blue, and scarlet red. So take your outfits to the next level by mixing fun pops of colours to it!
