In September, 2021's ready-to-wear collections debuted almost completely digitally, marking what was likely the most unusual Fashion Week yet. Still, that won't stop a number of spring 2021 fashion trends from budding and soon booming. While for the last few months, the general consensus where fashion is concerned has been "anything comfortable goes," the upcoming shopping trends marry that idea with trends evocative of a prepandemic spring and summer. Why not turn up the fun? "I know we are all looking forward to warmer weather and our next trip abroad, and I think that resort wear is going to be a top-selling category for spring," Arielle Siboni, women's ready-to-wear director at Bloomingdale's, told POPSUGAR. Sure, even if travelling doesn't quite return to normal next year, the season's trends are enough to successfully reel in the feels of escapism. Think poppy hues, lightweight fabrics, and holiday-style dresses galore. Ahead, experts tell us the six biggest trends to scope out for spring 2021. They're bound to become bestsellers at your go-to retailers when the warm weather hits, so you'll want to jump on them fast.

Designers embraced the trend for spring 2020, and Siboni told POPSUGAR that the trend is expected to carry into next spring with full force. "Crochet feels fresh and new, and I am excited about introducing it into my wardrobe in tops, dresses, and skirts," Sibioni said. "There has been an emphasis on craft over the past few seasons, and crochet is the latest celebration of this." Of course, crocheted items are often great as cover-up pieces, especially those that fit oversize and come with a looser knit. The look is the perfect way to feel like you're on holiday even when you're not. 2 Stone Knitted Halter Top Image Source: stonelabel.co Stone Knitted Halter Top ($300) Stone Knitted Halter Top $300 from stonelabel.co Buy Now 3 All Saints Kendy Dress Image Source: revolve.com All Saints Kendy Dress ($198) All Saints Kendy Dress $198 from revolve.com Buy Now 4 Design History Striped Crochet Sweater Tank Top Image Source: bloomingdales.com Design History Striped Crochet Sweater Tank Top ($66, originally $88) Design History Striped Crochet Sweater Tank Top $66 from bloomingdales.com Buy Now 5 Zelie For She Summer Picnic Duster Image Source: zelieforshe.com Zelie For She Summer Picnic Duster ($98) Zelie For She Summer Picnic Duster $98 from zelieforshe.com Buy Now 6 Cutouts View this post on Instagram A post shared by JAYDE C❂LEMAN (@jayde.coleman) Remember Cult Gaia's viral cutout dress? Get ready to see more of that, according to the spring 2021 runways and lookbooks from Maisie Wilen, LaQuan Smith, Markarian, and more. "Next season it's all about summer getaway trends," Tiffany Hsu, fashion buying director at MyTheresa, told POPSUGAR. "Modern dresses or jumpsuits with cutout details are having a moment." One to experiment with colour on her own fashion-filled Instagram page, Hsu suggested pairing the trend with mules in bright colours or skinny-strapped flat sandals — a recipe for the dreamy summer we've been waiting for. 7 Eloquii Cutout-Detail Sweater Dress Image Source: eloquii.com Eloquii Cutout-Detail Sweater Dress ($100) Eloquii Cutout-Detail Sweater Dress $100 from eloquii.com Buy Now 8 For Love and Lemons Poison Ruched Cutout Maxi Dress Image Source: verishop.com For Love and Lemons Poison Ruched Cutout Maxi Dress ($186, originally $246) For Love and Lemons Poison Ruched Cutout Maxi Dress $186 from verishop.com Buy Now 9 Iisla and Bird Exclusive Cutout Ruched Beach Jumpsuit Image Source: asos.com Iisla and Bird Exclusive Cutout Ruched Beach Jumpsuit ($36, originally $51) Iisla and Bird Exclusive Cutout Ruched Beach Jumpsuit $36 from asos.com Buy Now 10 Sir Ambroise Cutout Linen Midi Dress Image Source: mytheresa.com Sir Ambroise Cutout Linen Midi Dress ($339) Sir Ambroise Cutout Linen Midi Dress $339 from mytheresa.com Buy Now 11 Oversize Button-Downs View this post on Instagram A post shared by Aniyah | style + lifestyle (@aniyahmorinia) Nothing is quite so comfy, relaxed, and chic as an oversize button-down, which may explain why it has become such a wardrobe staple as of late. "[They're] super versatile and [were] seen all over the spring runways," Rebecca Brewer, senior buyer at FWRD, told POPSUGAR. "Throw [one] over a swimsuit as a cover-up, wear it as a dress with some cute boots, or pair with denim shorts." 12 Local European Nuria Oversize Blouse Image Source: localeuropean.com Local European Nuria Oversize Blouse ($73, originally $93) Local European Nuria Oversize Blouse $73 from localeuropean.com Buy Now 13 ASOS Cotton Minidress Image Source: asos.com ASOS Cotton Minidress ($32) ASOS Cotton Minidress $32 from asos.com Buy Now 14 Fe Noel Paraclete Button-Up Top Image Source: fenoel.com Fe Noel Paraclete Button-Up Top ($328) Fe Noel Paraclete Button-Up Top $328 from fenoel.com Buy Now 15 Zara Poplin Oversize Shirt Image Source: zara.com Zara Poplin Oversize Shirt ($36) Zara Poplin Oversize Shirt $36 from zara.com Buy Now 16 Slippers View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kayleigh Li (@itskaykayleigh) Heels? We don't know her. (OK, maybe just a little). But spring 2021 is all about sheer comfortability — that includes taking your slippers where you please. "House slippers are not just for indoors anymore," Brewer said. From shearling slides to velvet, she noted that the chic shoes pair well with both sweats and summer dresses. Of course, you'll want to go with a pair complete with a durable, outdoor-friendly sole. And if you don't want to look too lounge-y, leather and suede options may be for you. 17 Schutz Evelin Mule Image Source: schutz-shoes.com Schutz Evelin Mule ($88) Schutz Evelin Mule $88 from schutz-shoes.com Buy Now 18 Guess Sannah Furry Sandal Slippers Image Source: macys.com Guess Sannah Furry Sandal Slippers ($49) Guess Sannah Furry Sandal Slippers $49 from macys.com Buy Now 19 Olivia Morris At-Home Daphne Bow Slippers Image Source: m.shopbop.com Olivia Morris At-Home Daphne Bow Slippers ($345) Olivia Morris At-Home Daphne Bow Slippers $345 from m.shopbop.com Buy Now 20 Gucci Princetown Slide Image Source: fwrd.com Gucci Princetown Slide ($790) Gucci Princetown Slide $790 from fwrd.com Buy Now 21 Pastels View this post on Instagram A post shared by Imani Randolph, not Rudolph 🙃 (@champagnemani) Stephanie Roberson, general merchandising manager at Shopbop, told us to expect an influx of mood-boosting hues in the coming season. "I've been seeing a lot of punched-up pastels in clothing and accessories, which is a great way to take your look to the next level," she said of the trend that's already swept the fashion scene in Copenhagen, Denmark. "Think a dress in sugary pink, sea blue sandals, or even bringing in garden party prints," Roberson said. Those with a real knack for mixing colours can take on the trend from head to toe in either colorblock or monochrome fashion, while more subtle but equally as effective approaches include a pastel blazer or socks for a pop of colour. 22 Lane Bryant Crochet-Neck Peasant Blouse Image Source: lanebryant.com Lane Bryant Crochet-Neck Peasant Blouse ($50) Lane Bryant Crochet-Neck Peasant Blouse $50 from lanebryant.com Buy Now 23 Zara Thin Strappy Sandals Image Source: zara.com Zara Thin Strappy Sandals ($50) Zara Thin Strappy Sandals $50 from zara.com Buy Now 24 H&M Oversize Blazer Image Source: www2.hm.com H&M Oversize Blazer ($26, originally $50) H&M Oversize Blazer $26 from www2.hm.com Buy Now 25 Matching Sets View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ali Tate (@ali_tate_cutler) If next spring is all about perfecting the art of low effort, yet fashionable, dressing, then uniformed options are bound to fly off the (virtual) racks next season. "Matching sets have been a consistent trend throughout the seasons," Roberson said. "So, especially for spring, this is a great way to pull together an easy, yet chic outfit." From the coziest options, such as a matching knit trouser set, to more dressed-up iterations, like a miniskirt set from I.Am.Gia, this trend offers an easy way to look put together without the time and stress of styling separates. 26 I.Am.Gia Carmel Set Image Source: iamgia.com I.Am.Gia Carmel Crop ($40) and I.Am.Gia Carmel Pant ($75) I.Am.Gia Carmel Crop $40 from iamgia.com Buy Now I.Am.Gia Carmel Pant $75 from iamgia.com Buy Now 27 Good American Set Image Source: goodamerican.com Good American Off Site Knit Top ($87) and Good American Off Site Knit Skirt ($97) Good American Off Site Knit Top $87 from goodamerican.com Buy Now Good American Off Site Knit Skirt $97 from goodamerican.com Buy Now 28 Jacquemus Le Bandeau and Le Short Image Source: jacquemus.com Jacquemus Le Bandeau Valensole ($140) and Jacquemus Le Short Arancia ($210) Jacquemus Le Bandeau Valensole $140 from jacquemus.com Buy Now Jacquemus Le Short Arancia $210 from jacquemus.com Buy Now 29 Zara Soft Feel Set Image Source: zara.com Zara Soft Feel Shoulder Pad Top ($20) and Zara Soft Feel Pants ($36) Zara Soft Feel Shoulder Pad Top $20 from zara.com Buy Now Zara Soft Feel Pants $36 from zara.com Buy Now ShoppingFashion TrendsSpring Fashion 2021Fashion ShoppingSpring FashionSpring
