Here Are The Biggest 2021 Fashion Trends We Either Loved, Hated, Or Were Totally Confused By

You either die cheugy, or live long enough to become camp.

1. Starting off with the continuation of cottagecore

Notes of: Picking flowers, playing the pan flute, and living in a forest where the sun always shines. Was this trend created by people who may have gotten the wrong message from Midsommar? It's possible.

2. The "Wolf Cut" haircut

Notes of: Choppy layers, chic messiness, and wondering what this hairstyle has to do with a wolf.

No seriously, has the person who named this haircut ever seen a wolf before or...?

3. Coconut Girl aesthetic

Notes of: Perpetual holiday, hibiscus flowers, and no worries about anything ever.

A dream life, honestly.

4. Mullets

Notes of: Nostalgia, being the fun friend, and loving John Stamos since Full House.

They're back and better than ever, and if you don't like them, you're boring. I don't make the rules.

5. Light and Dark Academia

Notes of: Romanticising your time at the library, still using Tumblr, and falling for any anime character with glasses. It's giving mysterious yet approachable person studying in a coffee shop and pretending they're not cosplaying as a background character in Harry Potter, basically.

6. Harry-Styles-core

Notes of: Creative expression, confidence, and having fun with your life. Paint your nails, wear pearls, and mix contrasting colours, dammit! Life's too short to not be a maximalist every now and then.

7. Y2K revival

Notes of: Those awesome see-through Gameboys, butterfly clips, and Destiny's Child still being together. Please, can we keep this trend around a little longer?

8. Wellness influencer style

Notes of: Spending too much money on athleisure, spending too much money on crystals, and spending too much money on boiled eggs. 

I sleep well at night knowing that I've never considered buying a candle that smells like another person's vagina.

9. Low-rise waists

Notes of: A fresh belly button piercing, lower back tattoos, and your hips telling no lies. Personally, I'll be wearing high-waisted trousers and skirts until the day I die. Low-rise anything was the part of the Y2K revival I didn't need.

10. Fluffy hair

Notes of: The popular girl in a John Hughes film, the smells that come from getting the perfect blowout, persistent thoughts of needing to use dry shampoo.

Making magic happen with a hairdryer and a round brush is a skill I'll never learn.

11. And finally, Twilight-core/ Elena-Gilbert-core.

Notes of: The girl-next-door, vampirism, and a hint of self-righteousness. You're better than aspiring to be a default Wattpad "y/n" in a henley top, I promise.
