Recycling what we have and mixing it with a new item. To renew ourselves without spending too much. Although fast fashion still exists. We have a slower pace of life now. And with it deciding on fashion is more thoughtful.
Keys for your new 2021 style
We love your hoodie with little kitty ears but they certainly do not make you look very professional. So if you go back to the office or university, it is absolutely necessary that you do a detox in your closet. Separate your clothes into 4 groups fit, fix, give away, and throw away. This way you can make room for new pieces that you may need. Designing a new casual style that remains just as comfortable but without losing sight of 2021 trends.
5 clothing categories that you need to update your casual style with
● Dresses: Go for A-line dresses. Choose knee length or ankle length. Small floral prints are appealing. Avoid very large and extravagant designs on clothing. A shirt dresses in earth tones are the rage in addition to being a trend this year. It will be very versatile and easy to transform according to the occasion.
● Blouses: Pieces with extra volume in sleeves continue in 2021. Update your casual style by using a blouse with balloon sleeves. Bright colors are a trend from the 90s that will help you raise the level of your clothes. Use a blouse in a neon color and the rest neutral so it will not overwhelm other people.
● Jeans: The hegemony of skinny jeans is over. Today the casual style breathes comfort and therefore nothing is like boyfriend jeans to look very fashionable. Combine them with tank tops, delicate sweaters or with blouses made of luxurious materials such as silk. This creates a contrast between the feminine and the masculine.
● Pants: Clothes that were reserved for going to the gym today is part of casual fashion. To show off your leggings you need a long blouse that hides your butt. Add a jacket, kimono or cardigan and casual shoes such as loafers, booties or high heels to those skin hugging leggings.

Because they help us to better define the message we wish to convey with our clothes. Hats are not only for use on the beach. Nowadays hats are excellent accessories for our clothes, as well as protecting us from the sun. We recommend you try a panama or a fedora hat.
