While there’s certainly a place for those forward, playful, and more "out there” trends, we’re also all about a practical fashion purchase these days to fit within the modern wardrobe. You know, one that has a particular focus on ease and comfort now that we’re spending more time at home. In fact, after taking a scroll through Instagram recently, it became evident that there are actually a few specific more practical fashion items that style setters seem to be embracing on the regular.
These pieces are practical in the sense that they’re highly versatile and can be mixed and matched with a variety of items that are probably already in your wardrobe. They also happen to be no-fuss and are quite easy in nature. Intrigued? Keep scrolling to check out the pieces that could just carry you through 2021 and beyond, complete with visual and shopping inspiration.
1. Matching Set
A coordinating set is no-fail these days as we're spending more time at home. A matching shorts and top set is particularly forward. Plus, you can mix and match the pieces with other items as well.
2. Maxi Coat
When it comes to outerwear, an oversized maxi coat reigns supreme. The loose fit makes it comfortable and the silhouette is incredibly sleek over sweats.
3. Chunky Boots
A pair of chunky boots is stylish for the season (and also comfy). You can wear your favorite pair with pretty much anything for a modern vibe.
4. Trendy Leggings
It's no secret that the perfect pair of leggings gets an A+ when it comes to creating that ideal cozy look. Consider a trendier pair—with stirrups, slits, or in a faux-leather material—for something different.
5. Loose Blouse
The white button-down shirt is classic and of-the-moment—particularly in a looser fit.
6. Comfy Sneakers
Need a fresh pair of sneakers? Try a retro silhouette—a favorite amongst the fashion crowd.
7. Sweatshirt Dress
Sure, sweaterdresses are definitely a go-to, but so are sweatshirt dresses for a current look. Comfortable and chic. The beauty is you can dress one up with boots or down with sneakers or slides.
