2021 will be the year of essentials. The change of direction of fashion trends is an inevitable effect of the pandemic, that is reflected on wardrobes, mirror of soul and personal taste. Comfortable and quality garments, simple-to-match thanks to a typically norm-core neutral palette are the staples this year. Such an essential-built capsule wardrobe makes easy to immerse quickly in the work from home mood while remaining mentally connected, or to be "on point" even in the short daily running-errands moments. The main trends move away from catwalk trends and focus on streetwear, activewear and loungewear. Fashion and fast-fashion markets focus on quality, sustainability and versatility, with the prerogative of representing a mature and elegant style in this simplicity, not a mental pajamas-status of 2020.
Despite the desire to escape, fashion and splendor is skyrocketing in this period full of restrictions, at the moment the minimalism of essentials is the master. nss G-Club has collected the 5 items to have absolutely in your closet for 2021 to be comfortable, in step with the times and especially never boring.
Wide-leg tailored trousers
For a relaxed but still fashion conscious style, mixing-up the parts of a tailored suit is a great idea. In 2021, leggings and any style, slim-fit or cigarette pants are a big no and leave room for relaxed fit high-waisted wide-leg pants. They are fluid with the movement and perfect to match with a belt, a statemet sneaker and canvas shopping bag, to make even a daily grocery-shopping session a very fashionable moment.
Polo collar sweater
Blame it on the English summer tennis aesthetic nostalgia. Desire for collars in 2021 is at its peak, and definitely polo collar sweaters are one of the trendiest items this year. This collar shape gives a new smart twist to the throw-on and be ready to go sweater.
Sleeveless turtleneck
If Steve Jobs and Phoebe Philo met, they would have probably talked about sleeveless turtleneck sweater. Warm but fashionable, ideal for layering and a smart solution to wear your favorite shirt in winter or a tailored jacket at home, this atypical sweater will be everywhere in 2021. In jersey or cotton, fleece or wool, it will save the outfits from boredom and the voice from the polar cold of the continental winter.
Quilted "robe" coat
The Fall/Winter 2021 couture collection by Pierpaolo Piccioli for Moncler started a revolution: it has been finally understood that going out with a duvet on is possible and can also be evidently fashion. Although far from the masterful creations of the designer now at the creative direction of Valentino, the quilted coat gives the same embracing feeling of wearing a warm duvet. Clever trick to get out of the bed and out of the door when necessary.
Derby shoes
It’s true that you can see the value of things better when you get away from them. The European Union exiting country is having an unexpectedly strong influence in terms of shoes in this winter 2021, with the winter version of the 2020 loafer trend. The informal evolution of Oxford lace-up shoes, the Derby, imposes a new frontier of elegant shoe, which now breaks the gender boundary and becomes the most popular shoe of 2021. Better if platform as proposed by Prada.
