So hey Awesome Ones, it's finally 2021. Finally right?
Anyway it's kind of exciting today because I do have 10 fashion styles that
you're going to see in 2021 and they're not just kind of carryovers from 2020.
I'm going to be showing you some color palettes, some things that we'll be wearing
and the colors have meaning. I'm going to really explain that to you as well and also we're going
to see some throwbacks from the 1980s and the 1990s and yes a few that did carry over from 2020.
I can't wait to show these 10 to you and show you what's all going to be the rage in 2021. Let's go!
Okay I get it you're probably thinking to yourself what do I need with fashion.
I'm hardly going anywhere these days. But you know what? Hope for the future is on its way
and i hope for the future too because I'm going to show you these items and I'm really excited
about them. One of the things I'm excited about is the fact that you may only have to get one or two
items and shop the rest from your closet. Let's get ready for the future let's get ready to be
stepping out. So my number one trend actually I'm wearing it right now - - it's the pantone colors
that were chosen. Illuminating or yellow is one of them and the other one is ultimate grey -- what?
Let's take a look at a couple of swatches and i'm going to explain what they mean by this.....
Well there's a reason for these choices the yellow represents the hope and optimism
and sunshine and the grey represents dependability and community. And you know what I guess it's kind
of up to you because for me I see the yellow as the sun shining and the grey as the grey clouds
that we're getting ourselves out of. So let's take a look at an outfit that I have pairing
these two colors together. And by the way I got a lot of these items at amazon. I had a lot of fun
shopping for yellow because usually I don't wear yellow but here I have a grey kind of cardigan
with a v-neck yellow top underneath. I have some stretchy gray pants on as well
and those shoes why not have a pop of color. I did get these shoes at amazon. They were about
40 dollars. And check out the purse. I'm going to talk about the purse a little bit later on but
it's a great purse for 28 dollars and it's faux leather but it really gives that pop of color that a
lot of us need these days. Oh and by the way you'll find links below the description here for a lot of
similar or exactly the same items that I'm showing you in this video. And don't forget to check out
amazon.com/shop/awesomeover50 and scroll down to all the fashion that I have there there's a lot
of items that I really love. And let's talk about the next color and the next color is
going to be pink. I guess you're kind of thinking let's be in the pink. Anyway let's take a look.
So just like yellow I hardly have any pink in my wardrobe but hey if it's going to help me
with my mood boosting and staying positive I'm all for it. And here I have one of my favorite - -
well one of my only pink blouses that I own. You know what? When I wear this I really do feel
like it's kind of a mood booster and I've paired it with my pencil skirt that you've seen before
and a pair of hose and ankle boots. And I gotta kind of say I feel pretty in pink.
So trench coats that were trending in 2020 are making the grade in 2021 yay. Because any of us
that bought trench coats like we hardly had any place to wear them, so I'm really happy about that.
So in this look I'm wearing my trench coat with my black hat and sunglasses. I kind of got a
bond theme going here, but anyway I really really like this look and you'll notice that you can
wear a trench coat almost in any season and also instead of having kind of an old-fashioned kind
of look, I decided to just tie the belt in a knot. So number four is a look that's called a 'shacket'.
What well what it is it's a shirt that can also be worn as a jacket. So my favorite shacket has to be
the buffalo plaid one. And here I am in a blue buffalo plaid or lumberjack plaid and I just have
a t-shirt underneath and a pair of jeans. And what I really like about this outfit is if I'm too hot
well I just undo a few buttons and if I'm feeling kind of chilly well I just do up a few buttons and
it acts as a nice warm jacket. Now you may be thinking to yourself oh I got lots of shirts
I can wear. But really what the designers are showing are materials -- this is fleece
but materials for a 'shacket' in a much heavier material. And cotton well just kind of won't work.
And by the way I have the original look you know the kind of lumberjack buffalo looking red
and it also makes a great jacket. Alright so let's take a look at number five and number
five will be knit dresses. So truth be told I find a knit dress a little too form-fitting and
since I like to kind of hide some of my curves and especially my tummy I decided to have a knit dress
in black. And hey if I'm going for all black dress and black pantyhose and black boots it's really
kind of boring. So I added a zebra scarf to this look and the good news is that animal prints are
still trending in 2021 but look for a lot of tiger kind of looks tiger prints and that's going to
be trending quite a bit in 2021. So number six is a throwback to the 80s. How many of you remember
wearing the oversized men's jacket? And the new ones have shoulder pads -- yes I said shoulder pads.
and how many of you remember wearing shoulder pads? Love to know in the comments. But let's take
a look. Now although this look is trending I really wasn't much into the Annie Hall kind of look. And
well I've got my yellow shirt on underneath but I don't know this oversized look. I'm really not
that for it let me just show you double breasted men's kind of jackets are going to be coming back
and here's one that I'm wearing that's a bit more form fitted and I like that. And another
trending item will be the baggier pants and also the higher waisted pants as well. So I
think what we're kind of seeing in 2021 are you know knit dresses that are comfy and jackets and
all kinds of looser comfortable clothing. I guess they know we gained a little bit of weight over
the last few months. I don't know, but good news is that the skinny jeans have not gone out of style -- yet!
And by the way the yellow blouse that I'm wearing it is from amazon. It's kind of a crepey
material and it's available at $26. So now let's take a look at the next trending item
and it's crop tops and crop sweaters. And I know a lot of us well, I know myself I've
got probably three crop sweaters in my closet so this might be a good one to shop your closet for.
So here I have a black cropped cardigan that I found in my closet -- yay and I'm wearing it over
a cropped t-shirt and you're never going to see me showing my tummy in an outfit like this.
I'll always choose to have a higher waisted skirt or a higher waisted pair of pants.
And I got this t-shirt and the skirt from H&M last year and by the way floral patterns are still on trend.
So next is a trend that's still along those comfortable lines and it's wearing a hoodie
under a blazer. I'm not too sure about this one. So it does look really comfy and
practical. I mean if it starts to rain and you have to put the hoodie over your head well
that makes sense. I tried to find one of my most comfortable looking blazers. This is kind of in a
denim look but I don't know. What do you think? I just think it's just too bulky. So I'm going
to as an extra bonus mention quite a few more trending styles, but my next look actually I showed
this to you at the beginning of the video, is a yellow handbag. I absolutely love this pop of
color and as I mentioned to you before, I got this purse from amazon for 28 dollars. It's faux leather.
Take a look at what I've got inside the purse. It comes also with a clutch and also a little
smaller handbag. So it's three, three, three purses in one. It looks great against this
navy dress that I'm wearing which I also got from amazon and I'm gonna again put the links in
below for you if you wanna kind of be bold like me. So other trends that you're going to see in 2021
well the micro mini skirt and nope you're not going to see me modeling any of those anytime soon.
Also bucket hats. You know those kind of floppy hats that a lot of people wear traveling. I guess
the hope for traveling is there but also checkered designs. And how many of you saw the Netflix -- what
was it called -- The Queen's Gambit. Like I'd really like to know. I loved it. So I just kind of want to know
how you feel about The Queen's Gambit. If you've seen it and also of course I'd love to see because
this is where we all share in our community what you thought of the styles that I showed you.
Talking about feelings here he is to put a smile on your face our little Hurricane. And Hurricane
is wearing his his pop of yellow color in his little hat and Bill absolutely hates this hat. It's
actually good because it keeps the sun off his head and but anyway let's talk about some new
videos that I have coming up. I've got self-care, I've got more fashion, more skin care, makeup and
some of you asked me to do a video on what I like to eat. And I do eat some healthy foods so
let me know in the comments. It's kind of a stretch from what I'm doing but I'd love to do the video
if that's what you want to see. And let's all remember hey if you're thinking to yourself
what do I need fashion for? I'm too old or what do I need these days? I'm just feeling like I'm in a
rut. Well I'm here to get you out of that rut and even if you just like I'm feeling fabulous in this
yellow blouse that I'm wearing I'm feeling like the sun's gonna shine and the grey clouds
are going away. So I hope for that too for you because after all you're one of the awesome ones.
