FASHION TRENDS POST COVID 19

by wowmagazine

Every year, fashion trends have two seasons that fashion lovers watch out for: summer/spring and winter/fall. however, as a first the world witnessed a third season, the corona season which changed the course of fashion completely. 2020 had a much bigger impact on the fashion industry with runways going digital and a shift of shopping platforms from brick and mortar to online. fashion trends were no different. we saw a number of trends dying, new styles popping up to accommodate the quarantine schedules. here’s a complete round-up of the biggest fashion trends that evolved, changed and were born in 2020.

POST COVID

Sustainable clothing

If you have noticed the sudden hype around sustainable fashion with more brands, entrepreneurs and customers adopting eco-friendly practices, you have the pandemic to thank. Post-corona, people are likely to be conscious of the environment and the buying habits and sustainable fashion is expected to be an official trend among the fashion lovers.

Comfy work wear

WFH familiarised us with the concept of work leisure and in the past few months, we have seen brands introducing comfier styles when it comes to work wear. String-fastened pants replaced tailored and stiff trousers, elongated blazers and loose-fit tops are now the new office normal and we love this.

Minimalist aesthetics

The year started with vibrant prints and colours wrapping up in sublime patterns and minimal styles. With soothing aesthetics influencing fashion, relaxed fit silhouettes in earthy and neutral tones, simplistic designs and classic staples are taking over the current fashion.

THE PANDEMIC

Matching masks

How can we talk about pandemic fashion and not mention face masks: the survival accessory that overnight became a fashion statement from a mere utilitarian piece of fabric. We stepped into the pandemic with a boring N95 mask but now we have matching masks to our outfits, in different colours, prints and embellishments. Corona may come and go but this one fashion trend we want to stick around.

WFH fashion

As we switched from our office desks to bed table and conference rooms to conference calls on Zoom, our choice of fashion also changed. Waist-up fashion which was all about dressing up your upper half and looking webcam-ready in statement WFH tops (no pants) and minimal jewellery took off.

Athleisure

You might not be a big fan of athleisure prior to the pandemic but we are sure you came to love the style during the quarantine. Even the prim and proper dressers turned to yoga pants, sweat suits and cotton tees to lounge at home, attend online classes and work from home.

PRE-COVID

Street style fashion

The year started out with street style fashion taking centre stage. Before sweats and track pants took over, grungy and extravagant styles with layered outfits, mix and match colours and patterns and carefree yet chic apparel were dominating the fashion world.

Signature prints

Since it was the spring season before the Corona virus wreaked havoc in our lives, the clothes featuring the most playful and bold prints clashing with a riot of colours were in trend. And not just the classic florals, interesting and quirky prints like tie and dye, polka dot and jungle print were huge.

Leather Weather

Pre-corona, the fashion buffs were introduced to the various ways to incorporate leather into their look and this didn’t include the typical pants and jackets but unique styles like coloured leather co-ords and leather shorts. It was an exciting way to do leather but our excitement was short-lived.
