2020 has been a whirlwind of a year to say the least, but we have to thank the fashion gods for still blessing us with some super chic trends we all could enjoy even from home. Now that it’s winter and the holiday season is upon us, it feels like the perfect time to chat about 2020’s winter trends that we’ll be stylishly taking with us into the beginning of 2021. Let’s end 2020 and start 2021 with a fashion-forward bang with these 7 must-have trends!
Abstract/Graphic Print Knits
We’re seeing an update on printed knits that will continue well into 2021. Remember when animal prints were all the rage in 2018 and 2019? During 2020 we saw a shift into minimal, transitional styles and patterns. However, going into 2021 we’re going to be seeing more retro-inspired eclectic prints in bright colors, along with fun graphics paired with denim and second skin layering. This style will be especially popular among the younger demographic but will be translated into more mature looks through sharp styling with crisp, heavier weight fabrics to create a sophisticated balance.

Relaxed Suiting
We have the new normal of endless zoom meetings and waist-up dressing to thank for the relaxed suiting trend. This year, we’ve moved away from tight, restrictive clothing as we’re spending more time lounging indoors. We’ll continue to see this preference in design going into 2021 with elevated loungewear and traditionally tailored pieces in more relaxed silhouettes.

White Knee High Boots
We continue to see knee-high boots trending this winter season but there’s a spotlight on these shoes in matte white colorways. The white makes for a cool contrast against brighter and darker hues alike while adding a spunky and retro element to the look. 2021 will be all about incorporating fashion-forward statement pieces in a way that achieves a gorgeous, understated look.

Boyfriend Jackets
A branch off relaxed suiting, boyfriend jackets will continue to make its fashion rounds in 2021. Winter 2020 trends are all about layering making the boyfriend silhouette an ideal style steal. We’re loving oversized blazers, coats, etc. paired with other oversized pieces for an extremely cool streetwear-inspired look or worn with fitted, tailored pieces for a sharp high-fashion contrast.

The Puffer Jacket
The puffer jacket gets a stylish update with cropped silhouettes in bright, solid colors. Pair this current trend with maxi dresses and sneakers or straight fit denim bottoms and a graphic turtleneck sweater.
Shop Our Picks:
Collegiate Inspired
Collegiate inspired sweatshirts and cardigans are fun, understated pieces to dress up casual outfits. With loungewear still being extremely popular going into the new year, collegiate inspired pieces are a step up while still encapsulating the casual and laid back nature of the loungewear trend. Additionally, 90’s preppy fashion has slowly made a comeback this fall with an oversized update and an emphasis on pieces like the sweater vest and wide collar blouses. Popular patterns include plaid and houndstooth.

Leather
Anything leather is so on-trend right now and if you’ve missed the 411 on this winter trend, this is your sign to hop on the bandwagon! Traditionally we’ve seen leather used for shoes and jackets but this sturdy fabric is making its way to all your trendy styles from shackets to trousers to mini dresses. Rocking a leather piece easily elevates your look and delivers a one-and-done ensemble. Additionally, incorporating leather adds a modern edge to your outfit effortlessly.
