Just because lockdown restrictions are starting to ease doesn’t mean that you have to go out and buy a brand new outfit.


Sure, you want to feel and look good at social events after a year of emotional turmoil. (We get it.) That said, sometimes all it takes is the right accessory to tap into current trends and take your style to the next level.


Speaking of, here are 3 of the best accessory trends for Spring/Summer 2021 that would make the perfect addition to your existing wardrobe.


  1. Utilitarian Bags


Firstly, it’s almost like the fashion industry has accounted for the fact that most of us haven’t needed a handbag in months.


By introducing pretty-yet-practical options across the SS21 catwalks, they’re easing us back into the practice of carrying a bag. From Kenzo’s slouchy waist belt, to phone lanyards at Versace, to Dior’s straw grab-and-go versions, the focus is on the smaller, the better. 


However, simplified, medium-size bags also did the rounds at Hermès and Prada for those who can’t leave the house without the kitchen sink. (Hey, we’ve all been there!)



2. Theatrical Hair Accessories


Maximalists, rejoice. Larger-than-life hair embellishments reigned supreme on the runways of Yohji Yamamoto, Chanel and Giambattista Valli.


(We’re talking about flowers, pearls, bows and crystals, to name a few!)


Then there were the headscarves seen at Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood that would make the likes of Thelma and Louise jealous. Even though women originally used soft scarves to protect their hair while riding down the motorway in a convertible car, it seems this it-girl piece has been reintroduced purely to add a touch of retro drama to any look.


We love our Lady Red Scarf paired with classic blue jeans, a crisp white shirt and fifties-style cat-eye sunglasses. Très chic!




3. The Adorned Mask


Lastly, face masks aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. Therefore, it’s very fitting that designers have put their own spin on them for SS21.


Whether you prefer a coordinated material a la Anna Sui or a decorative finish in the form of a filter or bow taking inspiration from Rick Owens and Collina Strada, one thing’s for sure: masks just got a whole lot more fun.


It’s time to wear yours with pride!



The Hottest Accessory Trends for SS21: Minimal Fuss, Maximum Style


The great thing about these SS21 accessory trends is that they align with the times. Coming out of the pandemic, the designers understood that some people may prefer function over fashion. Although, they have also accounted for those who want to live it up with their style choices.


Either way, find which accessories spark joy for you and use them to refresh your aesthetic for the upcoming season.

Art in Fashion I: J.W. Anderson LFW

By
'Art in Fashion' is the next big trend! Inspired by English painter Graham Sutherland, J.W. Anderson's latest "pretty ugly" collection at London Fashion Week (LFW) 2014 offered an artful distortion of construction over unconventional palette. British designer, J.W.Anderson has once again created a collection to challenge the audience's take on art within fashion. Photo: Isidore Montag "In plebeian terms, if "pretty ugly" were a thing, Anderson nailed it. Citing English modern painter Graham Sutherland as a reference point, Anderson appropriated the queasy colour palette of alien green, murky mustards, watery browns, moss and greys from Sutherland's paintings onto his collection. Anderson went further by employing "ugly" fabrics like corduroy, black satin and a two-toned seaweed woven mix as a personal challenge this time. Admittedly, some of these fabrics are among his most abhorred." It is the very juxtaposition ...

Styling Blue Pineapples

By
This is another blog post on 'what the interns are wearing', and today I'm here to talk about 'Blue Pineapples' . This particular design is inspired by the Merlin Charity , who develops projects in Asia and Africa delivering medical expertise to countries shattered by war or suffering from natural disasters such as earthquakes and floods. The illustrations represent the national symbols of the countries where Merlin's work is currently being carried out. This is one of Cup of Daisies ' most favoured scarf and personally mine too. I think it's something to do with the striking contrast of the blue and white colours faintly representing an elegant china vase. I was going for an old style glamour look and wanted the scarf to be worn as a centre head piece.  With the head piece in mind, I worked my outfit around it and decided to pair the look with a two piece combo which I purchased recently from the H&M Trend collection for the season, a ...
