This blog has the objective of helping you select the most appropriate dresses for your girls team, including some trends for bridesmaid dresses in the UK and a selection of eight beautiful picks that are not only affordable but also absolutely fashionable! In this article: The 8 Stunning Bridesmaid Dress Trends That Will Rule in 2024 How to Create the Most Gorgeous Girls Lineup at Your Wedding 8 Dresses That Will Make Your Heart Flutter The 8 Stunning Bridesmaid Dress Trends That Will Rule in 2024 Before introducing you to the 8 stars of the blog we’ve especially picked for you, let’s see the 8 trends for the ideal bridesmaid dress in the UK which will help you decide what dress best fits your girl friends.   Olive green bridesmaid dress: this beautiful tone is perfect if you want your bridesmaids to look different and original. A dark yet elegant colour, olive green is harmonic and looks good both on light and dark skins, making it a perfect choice if your group of friends are of a variety of skin tones.   Dusty rose bridesmaid dress: yeah, we know! Dusty rose bridesmaid dresses shout classic, but it’s a classic colour for a reason, isn’t it? What better way to make your bridesmaids look sweet than with dusty rose dresses? Besides, the colour matches white (your dress, of course!) perfectly well. What’s more, it goes well with every skin tone.   Satin bridesmaid dress: Satin is a delicate fabric that always looks so sexy! With its natural shine, satin dresses do not need any addition to decorate them. They are just enough to make your bridesmaids look wonderful!   Pleated bridesmaid dress: pleated styles are on trend this 2024, especially in the bust area. The magic of pleated dresses lies on the fact that they add decoration to the dress and there’s no need to add much. If you don’t feel like wearing jewelry, then here are some good news for you: you don’t need to!   One shoulder bridesmaid dress: bold, sexy, elegant…all in one. One shoulder dresses are not for everyone: you should be ready to embrace that strange feeling of wearing your outfit in an irregular style. For this style, it is not recommended to add necklaces, but you can totally go for some striking earrings!   Sequined and shiny bridesmaid dresses: if you want your bridesmaids to be on the spotlight, then some shine will do the job. Shiny fabrics always make dresses look impressive, but if you want to take a step further, then sequins are the answer. Again, no need to add much decoration here: the dress will do it all!   Mix-and-match: this is a great option if you want to impress your guests with your bridesmaids! It is also a great choice if your team is varied in terms of age, height, body shape, etc., because by mixing and matching the dresses, every maid will be able to choose their own style. Choose a colour and let them do the rest! Easy task, isn’t it?   Sleeveless bridesmaid dress: fresh, comfortable and sexy. Sleeveless dresses are perfect for hot weathers. They are classic and never get old! How to Create the Most Gorgeous Girls Lineup at Your Wedding We’ve read so far about the 2024 trends for bridesmaids: from the classic pink bridesmaid dress to one-shoulder dresses to sequins. You can analyze those 8 trends and choose the ones that are more appropriate. So now, how can you create a gorgeous girls lineup at your wedding? Well, of course everything has to do with the dress, but before choosing it, here’s a list of tips to take into account: Ask your girls what they’d like. Before making the final decision, take them into consideration. They will guide you towards the best choice. Remember that a woman in a dress that doesn’t feel comfortable, will not shine. You don’t want that, right? The dress colour is vital, but you should let them choose. Again, if your bridesmaids wear a colour they don’t like at all, it will show. If the colour they choose is not what you like, you can always negotiate on different tones! Typical colours are pink, sage, burgundy, lavanda, light brown. Accessories need to match. The dress is not everything: jewelry, shoes, purses and hairstyle need to match so that there’s harmony. For that reason, everything should be considered beforehand. If the dress is simple, you can select attractive jewelry. If you chose sequined or shiny bridesmaid dresses, then you can opt for simpler jewelry or even none at all. With makeup and hairstyle is similar: colourful styles for simpler dresses and basic, nude tones for brighter and attractive dresses. The underwear is important as well. This might sound silly, but there’s nothing worst than wearing the wrong bra or panties during a celebration. Depending on the dress style, make sure your girls wear comfortable underwear. For example, for one-shoulder dresses, they need to make sure the bra is supportive yet comfortable. 8 Dresses That Will Make Your Heart Flutter We’ve now seen it all: sage green bridesmaid dresses, double V-neckline bridesmaid dresses, long bridesmaid dresses…and the list goes on and on.

There is no disputing that 'Squid Game' is easily Netflix's most popular show ever with a record of one hundred and eleven million households tuning in to view the dystopian Korean drama. However, if you’re asking us why we’re reporting on a television show that may not be as well known for its outfits as other shows out there, the answer is simple: all the bright colors used within the deadly game captivate the eye and mind. So if you’re interested in being just as captivating as Netflix’s most popular show ever, keep scrolling because we plan to help you update your sequin game for this fall and winter 2021.   1. Now, what is 'Squid Game'? If you've yet to hear of the show, then here is the briefest rundown I can think of for you! 'Squid Game' is a show based around earning money by playing a combination of children's games that are similar to both 'red light green light' and 'tug of war'. However, the similarities to the childish games end there because when you lose the game, you are not only taken out of the game but killed. Now before you scroll down to the comments with questions as to why anyone would play this- an answer that doesn't revolve around the laid-back costumes and multi-layered color choices we'll get into later- but rather that six of the final contestants will receive a cool forty-five point six billion dollars- something that all the contestants suffering from crippling debt all hope to win. Phew! Now that we've gotten you caught up on what 'Squid Game' is all about we can move into what we all are really here for fashion. 2. How 'Squid Game' costumes entered both Halloween and the fashion sphere 'Squid Game' premiered on Netflix on September seventeenth of this year, a little more than a month away from Halloween, and became a runaway hit with a growing fanbase. For this reason, many consumers went out on the hunt for either the green tracksuits that the players wore or other 'Squid Game' costume options such as the guards, the 'red light green light doll', or even the overseer. With this demand, suppliers came in with plenty of 'Squid Game' costumes to fulfill the need and thus the popularity of the costume was born. The next step was to have the show make its foray into fashion. Thankfully, many people in the fashion industry were already tuned in to watch the show when it dropped because HoYeon Jung, a Korean model who has walked in runway shows for Louis Vuitton and Chanel, was acting in it. However, after it was pulled into Halloween, many fashion influencers and bloggers began to scramble to create tips to DIY the costumes or create looks influenced by 'Squid Game'. If you inhabit any fashion Instagram or TikTok area- I'd bet good money that you most likely saw one of the DIY ideas.   3 squid games costumes and their meaning 1. The guards The 'Squid Game' guard costumes were inspired by factory workers that Hwang Dong-hyuk, the director, saw when looking into ways to develop the look of the guards with his costume director. The most notable feature of the jumpsuit is the pinky-red shade of the material. This bright color plays up the emotions of the viewer because it seems almost childlike in appearance until you process their hidden faces and guns. Along with this, the black accessories of zippers and belts go further in accentuating the inherent evil that lurks behind the seemingly innocent pinky-red shade. 2. The Players Similar to the inspiration of the factory workers with the guards' costumes, Dong-hyuk drew from the tracksuit he had to wear during gym in elementary school. The color of the player's costume is also used to lure the viewer into a false sense of calm. The jumpsuit is a teal shade, something that represents both peace and rebirth. However, for anyone that now knows the premise of Squid Game (or even just read the description up above), rebirth from the teal jumpsuit is unlikely unless you are one of the remaining six.   3. Giant 'Red Light, Green Light' doll The bright-colored outfit for the 'red light, green light doll', doesn't require knowledge about colors and their meanings. One look at the doll with its pigtails, peter-pan collared shirt, and knee-length dress and you are instantly taken back to elementary school days and the clothes that your mother dressed you in before your lunch box was handed to you and you were kissed on the head. The irony of this style is palpable; the doll is the one that watches the players to see if they move and those that do are shot dead on the spot- let's hope this wasn't an activity that any elementary schoolers engaged in.   6 brightly colored dresses for you! 1. Elegant Double V Neck Velvet Party Dress for Women While chiffon is often considered the fabric of spring and summer party dresses, velvet is most certainly the fabric of the fall and winter evening dress. Therefore, this sexy velvet dress is perfect for any winter parties that you might attend. Available in brick red, burgundy and navy blue the dress is both a v-neck and has a low back to show off your curves and skin. So while the colors might all be a bit more mute, it's simply so that you can do all the talking. 2. Spaghetti Straps V-neck Ruched Cocktail Dress This women's cocktail dress is sure to lead everyone's eyes to you from the brightly colored purple sequins to the plunging neckline and thigh-high slit. Still interested after that description? Of course you are! And in my humble opinion it seems like the type of dress that the winner of Squid Game would wear to a party to celebrate their new found life and wealth. Make sure to sip some champagne in this dress while waiting under the mistletoe! 3. Vintage Zebra Sequins Thigh Slit Satin Evening Dress Waltzing in this dress would be a dream, frankly- doing anything in this dress would be a dream. The green satin of the skirt might be reminiscent of the Squid Game player's jumpsuits but the similarity between the track suit and this women's evening dress ends there. This dress isn't a generic, factory made style that's mindlessly thrown out to people. And zebra printed sequins wouldn't occur in a Squid Game costume nor would the thigh-high slit that might only come as punishment from one of the games. 4. V Neck Spaghetti Strap Embroidered Floor Length Tulle Evening Dress As far as color palettes go, this dress will have you covered since it comes in seven different shades. Each of them in a flowing tulle with an intricate bodice. The sequin embroidered bodice, though, is what immediately catches my eye. Woven sequins in the color of the dress you select will let the light reflect into patterns of peaceful vines.  When it comes to these calming designs in a Squid Game inspired article, I'm sure that you can see the irony, since peace isn't something you'll find in either the show or this sultry dress- so just be prepared to be the talk of the party. 5. Shiny V Neck Plus Size Sequin Evening Party Dress with Long Sleeve Available in three different sequined shades (burgundy, rose gold and a deep forest green) this sexy V-neck party dress is sure to capture everyone's attention. And that's what we want- isn't it? To be able to show off our jaw dropping curves in a sultry, shimmering evening gown for the holidays. So hit the link above and purchase this dress today...just don't plan on wearing it to the company holiday party. 6.Vintage Strapless Ruched Bow Floor Length Evening Dress Imagine entering your next black tie event in a fluttering deep purple chiffon dress and having everyone turn to stare at you. Well, with this party dress we can turn your dream into a reality. The slit up the thigh will show off your beautiful legs and(ok, that and the fact that Korean model HoYeon Jung who has walked for both Chanel and Louis Vuitton is acting in the show the ruched top and velvet bow on the waist will accentuate your figure. So what are you waiting for? I think this vintage party dress is calling your name!

Every year, November opens the gates for the end-of-year holidays, starting with Thanksgiving, then Christmas and finally New Year. After all of us around the world have been through with the pandemic, the losses and the sadness, Christmas and New Year is an excellent opportunity to refresh our souls by giving funny Secret Santa gifts and enjoying some family and friends time. Secret Santa is a very traditional game during Christmas. This traditional custom is practiced in many places around the world, and there are many reasons why it’s become so popular. Before giving you great Secret Santa ideas (which will also work great as regular fun Christmas gifts), let’s learn a bit more about this curious yet classic custom.   What do you Know about Secret Santa? Although the term might sound very familiar to you, there are certain countries in which this tradition is not practiced. Secret Santa or Kris Kringle (as it’s called in some European countries) is a fun way to exchange presents among family, friends and even co-workers. Basically, it consists of being assigned a name for a person to, but the gift for, and that name should remain secret so that the person receiving the gift has no idea who it comes from. You might think you’re not interested since you have to buy lots of presents for your loved ones, but let me tell you something: Secret Santa or Kris Kringle is actually a great way to save when buying Christmas gifts: you only have to buy one gift, as everyone playing the game will receive something. If you play it with friends, family and co-workers, you’ll only have to take care of three single gifts, and you’ll have it covered. Interesting, right? Although this traditional game has been going on for decades, there are certain rules which have been changing with the pass of time. Let’s take a look at the old rules and the new ones.   Traditional Secret Santa Game Rules The game has remained the same over the years, and basically no one can know who is getting whom a present. However, the traditional rules have changed a bit. Let’s read about the classic, traditional rules.       -   Someone should write down each name of the group members on a piece of paper (or each one writes their own name along with a present idea they’d like to receive!) and then put the pieces of paper inside a box or bag to get them mixed.       -   Take one piece of paper at a time and randomly give it to someone in the group, making sure no one can read it. Another way of doing this is by sending the names via email or making a phone call!       -   Plan a gift exchange party. Make sure everyone will be able to attend. Each gift should have the recipient’s name and be left on a table or inside a room while no one is looking.       -   Guess who your secret Santa is! You can all say who they think secret Santa is before receiving the gift, or you can directly open all gifts and start guessing.  Modern Secret Santa Game Rules The concept is basically the same, except some modern twists have been applied.       -   Send an email inviting everyone to join the game, and make sure to ask them to reply if they want to take part.       -   Use an online tool for selecting the names. There are many wheels you can use or even digital Secret Santa name generators.       -   Participants can create wish lists online in stores such as Amazon, Target, Etsy, Wish or Ever Pretty to get cheap secret Santa gifts.       -   The exchange is via mail. Players wrap their gifts and ship them to the recipient’s home, or they can send the gifts directly after buying the product online.       -   Set up a video meeting and try to guess who bought each present! Although it’s always beautiful to keep it traditional, the modern way of playing Secret Santa gives us the opportunity to connect with everyone, no matter where they are. Sometimes we have family or friends living in a different part of the world, which can help us stay closer together. After all, Secret Santa is all about mystery and the joy of knowing someone’s thinking of you!

Summer may not be over yet, but fashion editors, fans, influencers, and buyers are already one step ahead. Everyone is looking forward to the arrival of pumpkin spice, plaid skirts, and cozy cashmere. We are more than eager to step out of our sweatpants and PJs and put on fashion-forward outfits as we start to visit restaurants, offices, and other hangout joints.  Speak of super-bright hues of lime green and hot pink, luxe coats, the return of Rachel green as iconic style and fun printed tights, and many others. Here are the 12 Fall 2021 fashion trends you'll want to add to your cart immediately. 1. 90s Revival Fall 2021 is seeing a return of ‘90s fashion. The trend has been around for some time and fashionistas are taking it even further this fall. Obsessed fans are rocking ‘90s pieces either as staple looks or accent pieces. Some are pairing their sheath dresses with baguette bags, while others are wearing their cropped cardigans over a miniskirt with tall square-toe boots. Still, others have taken it a notch higher by layering white t-shirts under slip dresses, cute overalls, and plaid sockets over skater jeans. Graphic tees are being sold by many companies because they are trendy right now. People are layering the graphic tees with cute jackets on top or long sleeves underneath. Graphic tees truly add that classic ‘90s look that many fashionistas are going for this fall. 2. High Low Dressing ` Comfort is still a priority even as we are trying to set ourselves free from the loungewear that has been our go-to fashion for the last year. High-low dressing is a breath of fresh air for anyone who’s not ready to give up on their comfort. You can easily layer your beloved, comfy knits below or on top of evening wear. This way, they become not only cozy but also more versatile as a daytime option. High-low dressing is the perfect go-to style if you are ready to shake it up this fall. 3. Dark Academia Are you a fan of Harry Potter and The Heathers? Well, dark academia is a fashion trend that borrows from both movies heavily but adds a punk twist for chic, gorgeous women. Gen Z started this moody trend on TikTok and now it has gained momentum. The look is perfect and works for adults of all styles and ages.To stand out, you can wear exceptional pieces such as midi and mini pleated skirts in dark shades, or preppy plaids in multiple dull shades such as black, brown, green, navy, and burgundy. Dark tailored blazers and jackets are other excellent options for the dark academia fall trend. 4. Platforms And Flatforms   The 90s inspired sandals were some of the biggest hits during the summer and it seems like fans haven’t had enough. They have carried it over into the winter and fall season. Platforms and flatforms are chic options that are easier to walk on than stilettos. Other options that will give you a chic lift include lace-up boots, clogs, platform loafers, and '70s-esque heels. Emma Chamberlain, a famous YouTuber, and social media influencer can be given partial credit for this trend. She has been obsessed with platforms for years now. You were born to stand out, so why should you blend in? Add a pair of platforms to your monochrome outfit to upgrade your look. Many people use them to look taller or to add more class to their outfits.  Try it all, whether they are chic platforms from Marine Serre or cute flatforms from Dior. 5. Printed Pants Zebra stripes, snake prints, punchy florals, and checkerboards have become the new norm in trousers and jeans. They are popping up left, right, and center. Social media influencers are adding fire to the huge flames of this trend and their fans are quickly following suit. The printed pants of fall 2021 feature heavier, structured outfits that are in sharp contrast with the floaty wide-legged styles you might have worn in the summer. Wool, corduroy, and denim are the go-to fabrics of the fall 2021 season. American Eagle is one popular clothing brand that has released multiple corduroy lines with items such as hats, overalls, skirts, pants, and dresses. Play around with either simple or vibrant prints if you want to steal the show. You can also throw in a grey, black or white sweater. 6. Sweater Vests The sweater vest trend first popped up in 2020, but it quickly infiltrated the fashion trends in 2021 too. Fashionistas are loving a little detail and some extra features on their sweater vests instead of monochrome, plain cashmere. The fits are a bit oversize, but everyone loves them that way. You can try and wear your sweater vest with nothing underneath as we are still transitioning into the cooler months. Pair that with a pair of loose-fitting jeans and stand out as the drop-dead gorgeous beautiful lady that you are. Throw in a shirtdress, turtleneck, button-downs or another swear as the temperatures continue to drop. You can also pair the look with short-sleeved t-shirts, collared shirts, or a cute little tennis skirt. 7. Saturated Hues Normally, when people transition from summer to fall, they replace pretty hues and tropical brights for dull moody hues such as navy, burgundy, and khaki green. However, fall 2021 has seen vibrant colors dominate the streets, runways, and social media platforms. Rich options such as mustard yellow, jewel tones, and deep magenta are fan favorites this season. Bold fashionistas are mixing and matching the bold combinations to create an unexpected vibe. Many are blending bubblegum pink with bright blues or marigold and peachy orange to create wonderful colors that are appropriate for fall. 8. Midriff-baring Sets Whether it was in midi dresses, crop tops, or bikinis, wrap-around strings on bare midriffs made a trend in the summer. The trend has been carried on into fall with a simple switch to little bare skin shown through cropped tops matching with maxi or midi skirts. Celebrities like Lord are pushing the trend with a lot of her middle part shown on her music video Solar Power. Others are keeping it subtle with tiny skin peeking out and only visible when they are on the move. You can choose what works for you and still be stylish and trendy. 9. Lavender While most fall 2021 colors are bold, rich, and saturated, lilac and lavender miraculously made it to the list too. This beautiful hue appeared on the runways, streets, and every fashion editor's piece. Designers such as Roksanda, Ferragamo, and Lacoste showcased lavender and lilac outfits in their collections in a wide variety of styles. A single lavender piece in your outfit is enough to make a statement. You can go for wide-legged trousers, a beautiful cute floral dress or a blazer. Mix and match the lavender with other shades of purple or basic outfits such as t-shirts and jeans. 10. Sparkles And Sequins We have been holed up in our homes for over a year but now that we are finally out, we are going to live life to the fullest – should we call it “revenge dressing”? Some of the most fabulous and fun pieces such as metallics, sparkles, and sequins are being pulled out of the closets. And the most exciting part is that folks are wearing them to brunch, coffee dates to run errands, at the grocery store, and everywhere else. We all can't get enough of the sparkles and sequins this fall and we hope the trend will continue for a long time. Pair your sequin or spark with casual basics like a simple, everyday t-shirt, cool denim, or a white button-down to make a bold and confident statement. We are on a fall fashion party, and we are not about to stop. 11. Loose-fit Denim Skinny jeans have been a sexy, trendy fashion statement for a long time. They will always have a special place in our hearts, but it's time to move on now. Loose styles such as mom jeans, boyfriend jeans, boot cuts, and flares have taken over in fall 2021. The most popular styles are straight-leg cuts and mom jeans, not to mention cross-front waists that have an extra relaxed vibe. These silhouettes have extra fabric at the bottom so we would recommend that you wear them with slim-fitting tees and tops, cute blouses that can be tucked in, cropped sweaters, and tailored blazers. 12. Bags With Some Fringing Let your bag do the talking when it’s time to make a statement. One of the biggest trends taking over this fall is the fringing on bags. Some designers added fringing that hit the floor with maximum impact, while others chose shorter options that dangle close to the fabric. This over-the-top trend will keep you feeling chic as you turn heads wherever you go. There are many options to choose from such as shearling, or leather fringe – which can work for any event and can be worn throughout the seasons.  Choose dark colors such as black and brown for a classic feel or bold hues such as green and red if you want to stand out from the rest.

A belt will not only flatter your curves but will also show off your waist when worn with the perfect outfit. Belts can also create an illusion of a waist for other body shapes such as a rectangular or inverted triangle.

Fashion enthusiasts describe the snakeskin belt as a pretty, rich, earthly accessory. Simplicity and comfort should take the lead in any kind of outfit, whether it is bold or subtle. And this makes so much sense because Cobra, Python, and Karung snakeskin belts have become fashion favorites in the runways. Fashionistas consider the snakeskin belt a timeless classic. 4.

Silver belts strike a different mood when worn over plain dresses or with jeans and shorts. Metallic accessories bring eclecticism and aesthetics into the fashion world. With a splash of metallic vibes, silver and gold belts bring delicate and intricate sophistication suggestive of having too much fun to any outfit. What Belt Looks Best by Body Type The buzz around belts won’t die down soon. You better grab one for yourself. The big question, however, is, what belt should you go for depending on your body type? Petite body Petite women are stunning and so should their belt choices. A skinny or medium belt that doesn’t overpower your frame should be your first selection. The belt should match your pants or skirt to give an illusion of longer legs. Use a hip belt to hide a short waist, or to give you a curvier appearance. Gucci has a wide selection of skinny and medium belts for the fashion-forward petite woman. Tall and slim frame More like world-famous super-models, Naomi Campbell and Gigi Hadid, tall, slim women can play around with belts to add sophistication to their outfits.  A wide belt will make a slim figure appear curvier while skinny belts give an illusion of wide, voluptuous hips. You can work this out by adding patterns or colorful prints to your plain outfits as a tall, slim woman. Curvy body type Curvy women are the luckiest when it comes to belts. All kinds of belts can look flattering on the curvy frame. A stretchy belt will define your silhouette and make your waist stand out. The elasticity of the belt will help you show off your sexy, playful side. Dark-colored belts will give an illusion of a slimmer frame if that is your goal. To create the perfect hourglass figure, tie the belt around the smallest part of your waist. If you have a full bust, then make sure to tie the belt at least 12 inches below your bust. 3 Ways to Wear a Belt this summer Belts are taking the runways by storm and they stand out best when they are worn independently. They are here to stay so you better arm yourself with one this summer. Here's some advice on how to wear belts this summer; Break Up a Monochrome Outfit A belt can help blend your outfit and bring it all together. It is even better if you are wearing a monochrome outfit. We are all guilty of this. You choose black pants, a black top, and boots and you throw on a black jacket on your way out. Imagine the level of sophistication you can add to that when you put in a splash of color with a bold-colored belt. Kendal Jenner and Bella Hadid are some of the celebrities adding fire to the flames of the belted monochrome look this summer. Over a Jumpsuit Jumpsuits can flatter most, if not all body shapes, and they are making a comeback this summer, especially with the belt trend. They are chic and super comfortable. Tailored jumpsuits worn with stilettos are perfect for official events while colorful options can be worn with sandals for casual events. Belts are the perfect accessory to transform a jumpsuit from simple to edgy. You can throw in a snakeskin, wide or metallic belt to a plain jumpsuit. You can never go wrong with a belt over a jumpsuit. Belt Over a Maxi Dress Do you need a quick way to upgrade your maxi summer dress?

You can also go for belts embellished with beads, chains, or diamantes. Animal/snakeskin prints can be worn with any dress. Neon, electric or bright colored belts will instantly upgrade light or natural colored maxi dresses.

As Summer 2021 collections debuted, designers remembered that we are still very much in touch with our handbags. They left us with an abundance of options albeit edgier and more practical. While summer collections have always been more inclined towards vacation staples; macrame shoulder bags and straw toes, most designers recalled that we only embark on a few days of outings these days. Daily commutes have been replaced with farmer's market runs while boozy brunch picnics have taken over night-outs and weekend club hopping. Dressing our water bottles and PPEs to the nines has become more practical than last season's micro bag trend. This is not to say that trends have completely shifted, if anything most designers revisited tried-and-true trends and gave them a real purpose. The summer 2021 handbag trends were more inclined towards fashion that not is not only up to our alley but also more sensible. Picnic-inspired bags and phone bags ruled the runways. Roomy totes and boxy bags in pretty, splashy colors, structured silhouettes, and chained elements were among this season’s delightful options. The summer 2021 collection is quite inclusive; minimal to embellished, oval to square, raffia to leather, we have no choice but to marvel at these designers’ creativity. Let’s take a deep dive into the hottest trends of Summer 2021 and take a sneak peek at the most sought-after handbags that you should be shopping for currently.

Chunky Chain Craze The acrylic chain –an extra-sized bag accessory was one of the refreshing trends during the Spring/Summer 2021 shows. The chunky chain which has traditionally featured on belts and jewelry became a key trend on handbags as well. The chunky chain trend was pioneered by Bottega Veneta on their popular Cassette bag. For many of us, it was love at first sight. Bottega Veneta's Chain Cassette became a major hit and from that moment, the trend seemed to gain momentum overnight. Now they are a must-have accessory—they have taken the fashion world by storm. Chains have been making appearances since the fall of 2019, but in 2021 colorful, chunky acrylic chains became the most famous trend for jewelry, shoes, and bag straps. Bright chains can freshen up a boring casual look just like the Spring/Summer 2021 Versace Show demonstrated. DeMellier and Manu Atelier showcased lady bags and leather pouches with multi-colored links that might be heavy but still very feminine. This trend is quickly becoming a favorite among fashion-forward girls in the street style crew. The chunky chain craze is a fashion bandwagon you must hop on immediately. Pearls, Feathers and Fluffy embellishments Every season, pearls and jewelry are showcased on runways, but in Summer 2021, they were included on handbags as well. Chanel stood out with its stylish black bucket bag designed with contrasting pearls. Feathers, fluffs, and pearls add excitement and glamor to plain outfits. Any day or night-time ensemble can look perfect when fluffed up the right way. For a bohemian look, you can work with fringe. 2020 being the year where people got comfortable at home because of the pandemic, the fluff trend that was already in full craze did not come as a surprise when it trickled down into 2021. The fluffy handbags first exploded on TikTok last year and they aren’t showing any signs of letting up. They resemble totes a little bit, only these little furry cuties are simple accessories that you can throw on the go. They may look too cute, but these embellished accessories have enough space to hold all your belongings; receipts, hair ties, phone, credit cards, and make-up. 2021 is full of functionality, shouldn’t your bag reflect just that? Oversized Totes What’s better than an oversized bag that you can fit in all your belongings? We may be unable to travel at the moment, but we can still dream of packing up for our dream destination. Oversized totes were one of the more down-to-earth styles on the Summer 2021 collection. Designers included sleek shopper totes that can easily suit your needs when you are running daily errands on the runways. Most of them came in angular, sleek, and sharp shapes. SUNNEI, Balenciaga, and Schiaparelli were among the fashion houses that showcased their exaggerated versions of the bags.

The Italian fashion house Bottega Veneta and Michael Kors pioneered this color last fall, and it has continued its reign into this year. Salvatore Ferragamo, Max Mara and The Attico quickly followed suit and convinced us that emerald green is truly one of the favorite shades of the season. From the catwalk to the streets, green has just taken over spring/summer 2021 fashion. Kelly green symbolizes rebirth and it connects us to the bright greenery of nature which symbolizes freedom.

Nina Ricci showed no restrain in Paris when she paired chartreuse bags with straight-leg cobalt denims. Chartreuse blends perfectly with its opposites; purples and blues but if you want to pay it safe, you can pair it with submissive neutrals such as black tan and white.

The predictions released in the last two months feature 10 extraordinary colors together with 5 core classics we anticipate on New York runways. Natural elements have been the inspiration behind the soothing, bright colors. Experts from the institute have highlighted the desire for an ingenious and inventive range of colors on the Spring/Summer 2021 fashion color trend.

These colors will run the show and make a serious impact in 2021. What is the Pantone Color System? Pantone Color System is a universally structured color matching system that helps manufacturers and brands make important color-based decisions during every stage of the workflow process. Millions of producers and designers rely on the Pantone Color System for color specification and control from the point of inspiration up to realization in the manufacturing process. This system communicates and defines colors that can be mixed during the processing and manufacturing of materials for product design, fashion, and graphics. The company that invented this system is called Pantone Inc. and the name Pantone Color System was adopted from it. The system allocates specific numbers to each color, which is then used to describe it, e.g pink is defined as PMS 205. Marketers, artists, manufacturers, designers, and printers rely heavily on this system which is now universally accepted. Pantone has become popular and successful for two main reasons; by successfully naming all the different shades and tones of colors, it has defined itself as the universal language of color that is used globally. The Pantone Color System also has high degrees of accuracy when it comes to the excellent specification of design, identification of colors, and quality control. How does the Pantone Color System work? The “global authority on color”, as Pantone describes itself, has unveiled Ultimate gray and Illuminating as Pantone Colors of the Year. This comes as a surprise as many wonders  just how one company has the power to choose one color over millions of others.  This is a practice that started 21 years ago when the process was just an afterthought between a few individuals. Today, the Pantone Color Institute has grown into a 20-person team that begins their worldwide color research during the onset of spring. This team observes the patterns and colors that seem to recur in daily life situations and then they come up with color trends. This process takes almost 9 months. Pantone Color Institute has clarified in the past that the Color of the Year is more of a reflection of what is happening in our global culture. The color or colors chosen serve as a way of expressing the mood and attitude of everything that is happening in the world. For example, ultimate gray and illuminating conveys hope and strength amid a worldwide pandemic. “The two colors have been appearing in many different places together,” – Pantone’s General Manager and Vice Person Ron Potensky explains, “you can’t see one without the other, they are almost like two sides of the same coin.” Spring Summer 2021 Color Pantone Trends For many years, Pantone has used colors to reflect what the global community is discussing at large. It is therefore not surprising that yellow is taking over the world after the pandemic.  The two colors were chosen for Spring Summer 2021 are a prediction of brighter, cherry days. 1. Color of the Year – Illuminating Yellow, Ultimate Grey 2021 is unique because it is the second time in 21 years that Pantone has chosen two colors at once. These two colors are an interesting blend. Pantone chose Ultimate Grey to represent the resilience and power it has taken to walk out of 2020 after wrestling with the global pandemic. On the other hand, the charming shade of Illuminating yellow reflects hope for better days.  The two shades combined bring warmth and some sense of dependability. In a news statement, Pantone describes the illuminating yellow as vivacious, cheerful, and sparkly. It is a warm hue that vibrates with solar energy. Ultimate grey represents strong elements that are emblematic of a powerful foundation. Even though these two colors are independent, they come together to express an uplifting and enduring message. The human spirit needs encouragement and motivation right now, and that is the spirit that these color combinations represent. Every season, marketers in technology, fashion, textile, furniture, interior design and home décor depend on Pantone's color forecasting abilities to come up with their seasonal designs. You can now expect your inbox to be flooded with advertisements of yellow and grey items from fashion brands, retailers, and designers. Ultimate grey and illuminating yellow are a powerful combination that represents the positivity we need to reinvent, reimagine, reset and renew ourselves. Ultimate Grey has the perfect neutralizing effect, while yellow simply makes you happy. 2. Continuation of the breath of natural vitality – Green Ash During the pandemic, outdoor activities such as hiking and gardening became increasingly popular. Pantone chose Green Ash because it represents nature. The color has restorative and regenerative vibes which everyone needs in the world right now.  Green ash also embodies rebirth and fertility. Green calls for expansion, growth, goals, ambition, and focus. It is to many people a "Type-A energy" hue. Green ash is the color that motivates you to get things done. Green Ash is a groundbreaking color for spring 2021. It kept the runways fresh as ever. Neon colors saturated the system this season, so this muted shade of green was more than welcome. Whether on the sleeves of puffed jackets and dresses or when included in monochrome looks, green ash made an undeniable impact. After making an appearance on runways for brands such as Miu Miu, Armani, Boss, Ferragamo, and many others, expect green ash to be everywhere during spring. 3.Full of tranquil and clear breath – Cerulean Light Gray Blue The Cerulean light gray-blue was also an inspiration from the outdoors. The gray-blue hues are reminiscent of a clear sky during summer. The calming nature of the cerulean is expected to be a favorite among people looking for a fresh twist of color. 4. Atypical spring calm – Rust rusty brown It was surprising to see Rusty brown as one of Pantone’s 2021 SS Fashion Color Trends. It brings uncharacteristically chic vibes into the picture. The shade of brown feels not just earthly, but also elegant because of the amber undertones. Rusty brown spreads independent, creative and confident energy. Brown is a powerful color that represents liveliness. Whenever you are feeling low, rusty brown will boost your vitality and keep you motivated. After spending lots of time indoors, the energy rusty brown speaks to all of us. Pantone predicted rusty brown accurately because it is already one of the most popular color choices seen on fall runways of the NYFW.  The gingerly tints of rust rusty brown have a sense of seasonless appeal. Could this be why Meghan Markle and Victoria Beckham love it so much? 5. Adjust the neutral color of various colors – Buttercream The buttercream was a breath of fresh air for everyone after the color splashes this season. Even as an all-time neutral, buttercream received a colorful update as well. Buttercream gets its inspiration from the baking obsession during the pandemic.  The yellow tints of buttercream added elegance to Pantone’s 2021 Fashion color trends. Other color trends navigated towards bright hues of eye-catching colors such as vibrant pink, cherry red, Fuchsia Fedora, Mykonos Blue, and Fire Whirl.These color trends are designed to bring a sense of positivity, hope, and refreshment that many people are longing for after a tumultuous 2021.  Colors are powerful, especially when they are intended to touch on people's emotions. Every color evokes moods, energies, and meanings deeper than what the eye sees. Our best hope is that Pantone’s optimistic color predictions are accurate and that 2021 is going to be a stable year full of positivity and growth.
