• After years marked by the beautiful bobbing of the bob and the breakthrough of sock slides, what trends are accompanying the summer of 2021?

  • “Duck nails”, baggy, heeled thongs… The season is marked by the comeback of the 2000s.

Of course, we can't really count on the sun this year.

At least not yet.

And level good atmosphere, let's say that like 2020, this new summer will not especially mark history by its lightness.

But the summer period is here, and like every year it regales us with its more or less improbable trends, which we often criticize galore before ending up adopting them.

After years marked by the beautiful bobbing of the bob, the big

comeback

of the banana, the breakthrough of sock slides or even the flood of floral dresses (which it might be time to stem), what trends are accompanying summer 2021?

Spoiler: the 2000s are indeed making a comeback.

The surge of the "cut out"

In French you could call it the art of cutting. This refers to openwork clothes, tops or dresses, which subtly reveal a part of the body, such as a collarbone or a shoulder. A very graphic trend that can now be found in many ready-to-wear brands, and which looks just as good on the seaside as in the city. But this summer, the cut is invited on a very specific place of the body: the lower abdomen. So much so that many English-speaking media are now talking about a wave of

pelvic cut out

(the expression is a scary hair yes), which targets the pelvic region, with openings near the pelvis and hips, always in a very spirit. symmetrical. An alternative to the

crop top

to reveal the skin of her stomach in a more suggestive way, adopted among others by Kim K. during his visit to the Vatican last month.

We are now eagerly awaiting the opinion of the government to know if the trend can be included in the category of so-called "republican" outfits for the start of the school year.

Fins at your fingertips

A space of expression like any other, nails also do not escape fashions and trends.

And one of the most recent spotted on the social media side (let's hope it doesn't cross the border into the real world), is that of

duck nails

, which is relatively aptly named.

Or a manicure in the form of palmiped paws with the most flared nails possible.

One way to optimize the ground to the full, by offering a maximum of space to nail stylists who can give free rein to their imagination.

As stated on Madmoizelle's website, a trend that came straight from the 2000s, to the delight of Generation Z.

Welcome back the baggy

Another vestige of the past, we have been observing in recent months the big comeback of the baggy, which made more than one boomer go crazy in the 1990s and 2000s. Oversized, low-waisted pants that tore up countless families, some of whom do not. have still not recovered. And to our delight, the baggy hasn't said its last word. From Bella Hadid to Katie Holmes, many will be dressing him up again this summer, in denim or fleece versions. To wear with a

crop top

, a shirt or a bustier, it brings a non-negligible touch of relaxation, and that's exactly what we need right now.

And if he could definitely wipe the slim and the skinny off the map, we would be eternally grateful.

We just keep our fingers crossed so that the dress / baggy combo does not resurface.

The big comeback of heeled thongs

Attention, divisive subject in perspective.

For some they are timeless, for others their existence is a sartorial heresy.

Still, flip-flops remain a summer classic year after year, and all the more so in 2021. We observe a particular attraction for the slightly raised versions inspired by zori (Japanese sandals) as at Havaianas, or downright wedged in a very 90's delirium at Asos for example.

More surprisingly, as

Vogue

noted

at the start of the summer, the famous heeled thong would be “one of the essential fashion essentials” of the summer.

But perhaps we should have left them in the 2000s.
