2021 HOTTEST TRENDS IN INSTAGRAM FASHION

After being couped up, locked down & wearing sweatpants for all of 2020, it's no mystery as to why today's fashion is bold, bright, and unapologetic. There is no time to waste, no time to be afraid to wear what we want to wear, no time to blend in. When it comes to self-expression through fashion, it's all about making a statement. Here's a breakdown of 2021's biggest & boldest fashion trends so far....

1. FUNKY PANTS

Funky pants have been a focal point for 2021 fashion. The best part about this trend is that there is no right way to do it. Going for a y2k aesthetic? Grab a low-rise funky pant with strappy accents, cut-outs, or o-ring details. Digging the 70s vibe? Throw on a pair of super high-waisted funky pants with a groovy print & flared leg. One thing that's for sure, the funky pants trend is here to stay & will continue to thrive into the fall months.

2. FASHIONISTA GRAPHIC PRINTS

Graphic printed clothing, specifically images of fashionable women, have officially made a come-back. You might remember this style of dress from the 1990s.

3. ECLECTIC & OVER-THE-TOP Y2K

This trend is an ode to every orange carpet look circa the 2005 Nickelodeon Kid's Choice Awards. Fur-trimmed coats, colorful sherpa-scarfs, mini skirts, even smaller shoulder bags, pastel colors, non-sensical layering, and so much more! There's no such thing as too much when creating this look-the more, the better.

4. PSYCHEDELIC PRINTS

This season, colorful psychedelic prints have been everywhere; the lava-lamp-like pattern mimics the free-flowing nature of self-expression through fashion. Internet fashionistas are channeling the 1960s with this trend. The explosion of funkiness we've seen this year points to an overwhelming sense that we might finally be on the other side of this pandemic: healthy, liberated, and ready to get groovy!

5. COLOR-BLOCKING & PRINT CLASHING

Forget everything you've learned about the color wheel, complementary colors, or color theory. This trend embodies the exact opposite: color-blocking colors on opposing sides of the color wheel and purposeful print-clashing. What better way to make a statement than breaking the basic rules of fashion?  It's all about character customization- life's too short! So treat yourself and your style as though you are an avatar in a video game (or dare I say, a simulation?)
