Jewellery can make or break an outfit. The simplest or most basic ensemble can be lifted out of drudgery by accessorising cleverly. Yet, as with all things fashion, it can prove to be a minefield. Too much of it and you risk losing all credibility. Too little and no one will notice anyway. So, to help you maneuver your way through the next few months here are five trends worth knowing for 2021.
I don’t know how you guys are doing in Colombo but the UK is slowly opening up after its third national lockdown. All restaurants, bars, cinemas, non-essential shops (pretty much anything that might spark a hint of joy) is shut and has been for what feels like forever. Couple that with the last five months of autumn and winter and we’ve pretty much been holed up in our loungewear and fluffy slippers sipping hot chocolate all the while. However, there are a few good things to look forward to. Firstly, we are now in spring which means longer daylight hours and warmer weather is on the horizon. Secondly, our vaccine rollout is going swimmingly well and we dare to look forward to a summer with a veneer of normality. With it we are hopeful of banishing our loungewear – forever. So, what do we plan to wear when we are finally allowed to leave our homes? I’ve scoured the Spring Summer 21 catwalks to spot the trends that I think will work just as well in Colombo as they might in London.
