Table of contents

We're seeing many changes in fashion for the 2021/22 winter season, stemming from the effects of the pandemic. On the one hand, we're seeing a plethora of colorful, shimmering fabrics in stores, demonstrating that we're eager to get out of our homes again, party, and enjoy life to the fullest. On the other hand, we're seeing a lot of knitwear and oversized styles , suggesting that those accustomed to comfortable loungewear don't want to return to uncomfortable clothes. These two trends are definitely dominating the 2021 winter trends. Let's see how they're reflected in specific clothing styles.

Women's fashion for winter

Outerwear 

Comfort has also dominated outerwear. Oversized quilted down jackets are trending, often resembling a blanket that we all long to snuggle into in winter. In stores, you'll also find quilted jackets in a coat-like style and classic puffer jackets, only made of leather. Just like last season, shirt-style jackets/coats are in fashion. Leather coats are also in fashion, and they're sure to make your outfit stand out. We're seeing the return of sheepskin coats made from synthetic materials. Ponchos and kimonos have made a comeback and can be used to stylishly "warm up" your outfit.

Vests

Vests are an equally good winter warmer. Shops offer a variety of vests , from down and knitted to classic and elegant styles in various lengths : from short waist-length to floor-length. Knitted vests can be worn over a dress or blouse, or as a base layer under an oversized jacket. To stay warm, wear down vests with thick sweatshirts, wool sweaters, or a leather jacket. Elegant vests, on the other hand, look great with turtlenecks. Our store offers basic women's turtlenecks in the following colors:

Thanks to such a wide range of colors, you can choose the perfect shade for yourself and create many interesting styles. For more ideas on how to style turtlenecks, check out the article: "How to Wear a Women's Turtleneck? 9 Styles for Women"

Knitwear in the main role

Last year, we spent a significant portion of our time in comfortable clothes, and accustomed to this comfort, we don't want to return to uncomfortable styles. Therefore, designers, meeting our needs, have begun designing more and more knitwear . Many stores offer head-to-toe knitwear sets. These aren't boring tracksuits or sweaters, though. They often feature dresses with sensual cutouts, sweaters with geometric patterns reminiscent of surrealism, or sweatpants with an elegant palazzo cut, or those reminiscent of elegant cigarette pants.

Fashionable accessories for winter 2021

Winter shoes

What would winter be without boots? This season, heavy boots with thick tractor soles are still the trend, perfect for breaking up a flowing dress and an elegant coat. Rubber boots, resembling Wellington boots, are also in fashion. This type of footwear works well with mini dresses. Winter fashion for 2021 offers many crazy shoe styles , and also caters to those who value comfort. Trendy winter shoe styles perfectly reflect the two trends I mentioned in the introduction. On the one hand, we have a plethora of richly decorated shoes in bold colors, and on the other, comfortable and warm "Emu" boots are making a comeback.

Scarves and hats

An interesting style of hat that's fashionable this season is the baclava or hooded hat combined with a scarf. Oversized scarves in many patterns and colors are also in fashion. A new trend for the winter season are quilted scarves made from the same material used for down jackets.

Stripes

To avoid oversized styles overwhelming your figure, don't forget to add a belt at the waist to balance the proportions . Wide belts with a visible buckle are especially fashionable during the winter season.

Tights

In addition to the timeless, plain black tights, bold colors are making a comeback and can liven up our winter outfits. To avoid looking tacky, wear them as a bolder color element in your outfit or pair the tights with another item of clothing in the same color.

Men's fashion for winter 2021

In current trends, we can see that women's and men's clothing styles are increasingly intertwined, becoming more universal and unisex .

Outerwear

Oversized cuts are also prevalent here. Oversized down jackets aren't the only outerwear trend; corduroy and leather puffer jackets are also trending. The leather motif is strongly present in men's collections, and you can find many leather jacket styles in stores, from classic biker jackets and shirt jackets to retro-style jackets made of distressed leather . Bomber jackets have also returned to fashion: the classic ones we know from American films and TV series, as well as slightly modernized versions: quilted, leather, or made of faux fur. Bomber jackets can elevate a classic sporty look to a higher level. So, if you enjoy sporty style, this jacket is sure to come in handy.

Vests

Down vests can replace a classic jacket or coat on slightly warmer days, but don't forget to wear warm clothes underneath. I recommend wearing the Mr. Invisible Nude men's T-shirt under a sweatshirt or sweater. This undershirt will provide additional warmth without making you sweat when it's warmer outside, as it's made of breathable material. Elegant men's vests, on the other hand, are a great and very stylish alternative to a blazer. You can wear them in many ways: elegantly with a suit or smart casually with a casual shirt/turtleneck, jeans, and sneakers.

Cardigans

This winter's fashion is reviving men's cardigans , which haven't been as popular in recent years. Most popular clothing chains offer cardigans made of smooth knit fabrics, school uniform-style sweaters, and retro-style patterned sweaters. When choosing a cardigan, don't forget about the fabric composition, which is crucial. Avoid synthetic materials like acrylic, polyester, polyamide, or nylon. Instead, opt for breathable, warm materials like wool, cotton, or viscose . You can find many vintage cardigans with good fabric compositions in secondhand stores. You can wear a classic men's long sleeve shirt , turtleneck sweater, or shirt under a cardigan.

Sporty-elegant trousers 

Especially in the current men's collections, we can find a lot of trousers that combine these two styles. These include knit trousers with pleats, or elegant trousers with an elastic waistband instead of a classic button or drawstring.

Fashionable winter shoes

Current winter trends include many heavy-duty boots styled as work boots . Store collections feature variations on the Chelsea boot (a boot with a rubber insert on the sides of the shaft), from classic styles to those with a higher shaft and thick soles. Winter fashion also offers men's rubber ankle boots and high-top sneakers inspired by the classic Nike Jordan shoe.

These are certainly not all the trends for the winter season, as there are so many that it's easy to get lost. In this article, I've presented the most popular and visible ones. Only follow trends when you feel that what's currently fashionable suits your personality and style . Also, opt for classic styles and basics, which you'll find in the Ansin range, as these styles never go out of style.
