These Are The Winter Fashion Trends To Know About For 2021

Rug up.

Winter 2021 is very much here, with its freezing temps and grey, rainy days. Thankfully, we can find joy in fashion – after all, winter is when fashion trends become about layering, rugging up and playing around with textures.

If you’ve been standing with your wardrobe open each morning wondering what on Earth to wear, we’re here for you. This is our guide to the winter fashion trends that will be massive in 2021 in Australia. From knitwear to chunky boots you’ll be set for the cooler months.

1. Long Knits

Zara

Zara Long Wool Knit Dress, $109

Hansen Gretel

Hansen & Gretel Macy Dress, $319

Knitwear is always a good investment for winter, but in 2021 the key piece will be long knitted dresses. Taking a bodycon shape but making it chic, not 2012, the long knit dress will become your office AND weekend staple – pare back with a denim jacket and chunky boots for the weekend, opt for a loafer during the week. Easy.

2. Luxe Hoodies

Camilla & Marc Limia Cropped Hoodie, $400

The era of luxe loungewear continues. In 2021, however, it’s less about matching home sets and more about incorporating that extra-comfortable, premium hoodie into your everyday wear. Team a muted hue hoodie with denim and a blazer for the ultimate blend of WFH and officewear.

3. Chunky Boots

Aere Chunky Leather Sock Boots, $199

You’ll be ready for the snow, even if you’re not going to see it all winter. Chunky boots are very much THE boot trend for winter 2021, with ankle, mid-calf and knee length styles all very much in fashion. 

4. Bootcut Jeans

Rollas

Rolla’s Dusters Bootcut Jeans, $159.95

reformation

Reformation Peyton Bootcut Jeans, $162.56

Just starting to trickle into the major denim labels, bootcut jeans are no longer an old 90s trend we left to die – they’re back, and more chic than ever. Style them exactly as you would have in 1995 – with a leather blazer and some square-toe boots.

5. Collared Knitwear

Camilla & Marc Regina Knit, $450

aere

Aere Cable Knit, $99

A little bit 90s, or a little bit 70s, the collared knit is either a modern take on the sports jersey (but sleeker and not covered in grass stains) or its winged like a 70s menswear staple. Either way, investing in a knit top with a collar will see you very much on trend for winter 2021.
