Does comfort remain a key attribute? Or do consumers rediscover styling after the lockdown hiatus? Will there be less numerous but more deliberate and considered purchases? Is this the dawn of sustainability's tri- umph? At least as concerns the lat- ter, there is cause for optimism. Here the details for the new trends in fashion colors and cuts, together with our best wishes for defining your looks in this so very extraordi- nary order. Women's Wear Neutrals dominate feminine fash- ion, often in tonal variations and combinations. Ecru, butter, sand, caramel and cognac are significant. They are joined by khaki, reed, jade and blue tones - ranging from pastel to azure to ink - and black. Pastels with a high white pigmentation also play a defining role. This palette ranges from soft pink, rose, salmon, lilac and orange sorbet to lime, pis- tachio, mint and opal green. Red, raspberry and a warm turquoise add bolder shades. Styles oscillate between two poles: puristic on one hand, marked by modern classics on the other. The latter includes blazers with gold metal buttons or pleated skirts, which mix with elements from the 60s and 70s as well as from college sports. Polo shirts and club sweaters are typical examples. But also think ruffles, frills and puffed sleeves that accentuate the shoulders, together with squared necklines for blouses and dresses. Belts on trench coats, blazers, slacks or dresses focus the eye on the waist. Denim in a wide color range from blue to white, from head to toe, brings the „coolness“ factor. A trendy outfit could, for example, be a lingerie top worn with blazer and jeans. Younger women add femininity and sexyness with bandeau tops, bustiers and ul- tra brief shorts. The resurgence of miniskirts will hopefully live up to their historic role as harbingers of an economic resurgence. Casual, minimal, clean – a timeless aesthetic of longevity is the other style choice on the rise. It's epitome: trouser suits in neutrals or candy colors combined with a basic white tee or tank. Stylistic breaks remain important: the casual sweat- shirt worn with a flared skirt, a knitted sweater paired with a satin dress, the loungewear top and pleat- ed trousers, the stripped down parka or (vegan) leather jacket completing a business outfit. The crisp button down shirt in a relaxed fit, prefer- ably in white, becomes a key piece. It becomes the centerpiece for lay- ering, for example with pleated cropped trousers and gentleman's waistcoat worn open. The selection in slacks is wide enough to become difficult. Basi- cally, for this piece anything goes. Whereby the styling maxim is: more width = more fashion. Mom jeans have the potential as new basic. Monotone versions of slacks are sem- inal but there is no lack of patterns, especially vichy plaids and stripes. The sway of safari and workwear elements is undeniable, though their interpretation is more subtle. Cargo pants, just as its cousin the field jacket, no longer speaks tough. In- stead, it adds a cozy element in soft fabrics – cotton, tencel or linen – and in relaxed, flowing silhouettes. No doubt, linen is a favorite. Fringes, crochet and embroidery decors are eye-catchers, alongside floral, ethnic and tie-dye prints, dots and vivacious, colorful vichy plaids. Together they evoke a delight in next summer. These decors are es- pecially visible on blouses and dress- es. For these, any length will do, short and flared or long and flow- ing. The voluminous maxi-dress with 70s touch, the knee-high baby- doll or midi-styles with prints vie for consumers' favor. And, not to be forgotten, the shirtwaist-dress. Men's Wear Men's wear exhibits boldness and energy, at least everywhere where athleisure elements spill into casual 25
