Say it with me: We are dressing up in 2021. That’s right sis. Wear. Your. Clothes.
In last month’s blog post (it’s a good read), I shared 19 self-care ideas to practice this year. Well, I’m about to make it 20 lol. Dressing up is so therapeutic and makes you feel good. And we all deserve to feel good! Even though 2020 brought trouble, she also brought dope fashion trends (that’s the least she could’ve done lol). In this post, you’ll get a quick list of five fashion trends you should still wear this year.
1. Little Gold Jewelry
Gold jewelry has always been a fashion staple, but 2020 heightened its status. From gold chain necklaces to mini gold hoops, gold jewelry is the perfect accessory you need to elevate any outfit. If you’re looking for affordable gold jewelry, visit your local beauty supply store (do not give Urban Outfitters your coins for the same gold hoops you can find at the beauty supply store) and retail stores like Forever 21.
2. Babydoll Dresses
Now, I know what you’re thinking. Meagan, what’s a babydoll dress? Well, it’s probably a name I just made up (I honestly don’t know what to call them lol). Babydoll dresses have a fit and flare feel to them. They’re not too short or too tight. They are the perfect dress for any occasion: wedding, brunch, date night, anything.
3. Mesh Tops
Mesh tops are so feminine and girly. The material gives a peak of skin that’s not too much. Mesh tops come in all types such as cropped, long-sleeve, and short-sleeve. And you can find them in almost any color. Check out your local Forever 21 for pastel mesh tops (so perfect for spring).
4. Combat Boots
I’m super late, but I discovered Doc Martens last summer and haven’t looked back (I love them). Combat boots are really the only type of boots you can wear all year and they wear well with any personal style. So, if your style is grunge, you can wear combat boots with graphic tees and distressed shorts. And if your style is girly, you can wear combat boots with floral dresses. The looks are limitless with a good pair of combat boots.
5. Two-Piece Loungewear
2020 was the year of two-piece loungewear. Everyone was rocking a two-piece loungewear set (I know I was lol). From athletic loungewear from Nike to cozy loungewear from Nasty Gal, loungewear was the perfect at-home fit. And what makes loungewear so dope is you can also wear them out (just wear a pair of heels or sneakers and you’re good to go).
I hope this post encourages you to wear these fashion trends this year. Remember fam, we are dressing up even if we have nowhere to go (truth is: when you look good, you feel good). If you need ideas on what to buy, check out a few options below to get you started.
Do you have another fashion trend to add to this list? Do you wear any of these fashion trends now? Share in the comments.
As always, thanks for stopping by and don’t be shy. Look around.
