In 2020, fashion struggled to find a way to flourish, with jeans, sweatpants, and other comfy items of clothing taking center-stage. But as summer 2021 approaches, there is a revolution in the air, as men’s fashion especially is coming out on top in terms of innovating the industry this year.

The bomber jacket is back
Did it ever really go away? The bomber is here to stay, but this time it is adorned with geometric prints, bold embellishments, and comes in an array of jewelled and even neon tones. In terms of cuts, some designers have gone for a distinctly unstructured and even deconstructed approach while others have decided that slightly oversized is the way to go.

If your bomber has triangles, squares, pentagons, or large gold zips and tags on it, you earn yourself, even more, fashion brownie points this season! Wear your bomber with tailored satin shorts, pink jersey pants, socks, and sandals for an on-trend vibe.
Jump into a jumpsuit
Fashion is continuing to explore different kinds of workwear, as exampled by this season’s penchant for jumpsuits and utility-style matching tops and bottoms. But don’t go raiding your local utility or military store just yet, because SS21’s workwear is intertwined with plenty of embellishments.
Jumpsuits and tops and bottoms in colours like lilac, dusty pink, and pale green have been seen on all the runways, as have harsh more monochrome looks. There are some examples of typical khakis, but the 2021 vibe is involving pastel colours, tying into another of the seasons’ key trends.
Penchant for pastels
Pastels were everywhere on the SS21 catwalks. Lilac, mint green, baby pink, dusky rose, baby blue, and everything in between, were applied to suits, slacks, shirts, sweats, and the aforementioned workwear. Some pieces evoked a 1970s twist through the use of swirling patterns in different shades, others went for a more relaxed look with loose-fit flares in a candy-cane assortment of colours.
Even tuxedos and evening wear came in traditionally feminine colours, teamed with vests, sandals, and slicked-back hair. While you may get a few looks if you turn up at the office in a lilac suit, incorporating aspects of this trend such as a tie, belt, or pocket handkerchief is a great way to be subtle.
This season is all about mixing colour with comfort. Loose fits and open legs were everywhere but still managed to retain an element of tailoring in order to look refined. This, combined with bold and sometimes wild colour combinations, means that this summer could be one of the brightest and most lurid (in a good way) on record!
