Just as the spring season invites budding flowers, the fashion market will be going through its own sort of bloom for Spring/Summer 2021. In an exuberant response to the warmer weather and the loosening of pandemic restrictions, fun and colorful accents are being welcomed — on everything from necklaces and earrings to purses, bags, shoes and clothing. These include gold and silver chain accents, jeweled floral elements and vintage jewelry elements.
Pearls are back in full force and can be expected to be major this season. They have been featured prominently on the runways by brands like Chanel and Altuzarra. With the push for more glamour after an abysmal 2020, it is no surprise that they will also be shown on accessories from head to toe.
The mule is the hot ticket shoe for retailers. It has the perfect balance of elegance, style and comfort for consumers stepping out into the world from lockdown. Popular materials are metallic leather, satin and even winter fabrics, like velvet and brocade.
Another must-have shoe will be the party sandal. Adorned with thin, sexy straps, it has hit the scene in a big way. This minimalist look resonates with Generation Z and millennials alike, since it is a classic, versatile and comfortable shoe. The style has been refreshed with fun colors, such as bubblegum pink and tangerine.
No matter what style you choose, you will need some accent to meet the season’s fun twist. At Lori Silverman Shoes, the ubiquitous heel embellishments — which live up to the motto, “Business in the front, party in the back,” — have been taken to another level. The brand’s signature crystal sole comes in all the season’s colors and includes patterns ranging from ombre to stripes and camo.
The sporty look so popular in Europe has hit the American market with the chunky sneaker, which provides comfort and function mixed with cutting-edge style. Seen on the likes of Hailey Bieber and Ariana Grande, as well as many other celebrities, it will be making a big splash in 2021, especially with Generation Z consumers. The simple shape and line will be updated with a touch of color in laces or rivets. Lori Silverman sneakers, featuring our patented crystal and patterned soles, are in development, and we look forward to bringing them to the market soon.
In terms of colors for Spring/Summer 2021, it will be brights — and lots of them. One of the hottest colors will be mellow yellow. This hue, reminiscent of a subdued sun, will make any outfit a little brighter. Orange is another popular color, but this season, it is all about vibrancy in a tangerine orange. All hues of blue will be in evidence, from French blue to sea blue to deep sky blue, but the real hit for 2021 is cerulean blue. This color is dusty and muted, offering a feminine, elegant appeal and reminding consumers of a clear summer sky. It has been widely used this season by Hugo Boss and Versace.
Metallics are also exceptionally popular, supporting the desire for bright and shiny products as a pushback from the harsh times of 2020.
Rather than investing in entire outfits, which can be overwhelming, ensure your first step back into fashion is fashion-forward by investing in a pair of Lori Silverman’s luxury mules, sandals or jeweled T-straps. For your Spring update, you should think colorful, bright, sparkling fun. After all, don’t we all need a little bit of that right now?
