Well, winter is here – which means it’s time to start looking for new favorite pieces for the cold season. So what are the trends in winter fashion 2021/2022? Are there any pieces from last year that are still considered must-haves this winter? Read all about it in our big trend guide for the winter season.
Leather cannot be missing in the winter 2021/2022!
This winter, if there is one trend that you should not miss, it is definitely (fake) leather. For the fashion winter 2021/2022, virtually all major designers have been inspired by biker looks and have showcased leather in all variations on the major catwalks around the world. At the forefront: puffer jackets in leather look (store here at NA-KD*), pants, blazers and leather shirts.
Green is the hottest color in winter 2021/2022
Only wearing gray, black and brown in winter? Well, not in 2021/2022. THE absolute trend color in the new season, which just nobody can get around, is green. In the summer, green was already one of the most worn colors by fashion professionals and the hype around this exciting color continues. Ultimately, green pieces will immediately bring a good mood into the otherwise often so dreary winter wardrobe.
Which green shade you choose is entirely up to you. Especially beautiful for the winter season harmonizes a dark fir green, blue-green and khaki. These nuances go perfectly with muted colors such as beige, brown or black. Those who want to approach the trend slowly at first can simply reach for green accessories.
Winter 2021/2022 fashion trends: Y2K style
As the saying goes in fashion: everything changes and yet always comes back. The best example: 90s and noughties fashion, something we revive every year and celebrate in different forms. This winter we are also reviving old times, since the so-called Y2K style is extremely hip at the moment.
Don’t have a clue what’s behind the term? Well, Y2K stands for “Year Two Kilo” and means nothing else than the fashion of the 2000s. It includes flared pants, knee-high boots, belly-free tops, baguette bags, chokers, flashy colors or glitter belts.
Suit up: Masculine suits remain trendy
We have long known that women can easily compete with men. Designers have also understood this for some time now, as the most important fashion trends for women include casual trouser suits. It was already so in 2020 and will remain so in the winter of 2021/2022!
These two-pieces come across as deliberately masculine: For example, with a boxy cut and accentuated shoulders. The absolute must-have for the power look: double-breasted blazers in oversize style.
Styling tip: With white sneakers, these trendy pieces are absolutely suitable for everyday wear; with pumps, we can turn them into a stylish business look. And rugged biker boots in combination with an elegant pantsuit provide an exciting style break. For those who prefer a more feminine look, we recommend pantsuits in delicate pastel shades.
Teddy fur amongst the biggest fashion trends in the 2021/2022 winter season
Teddy coat is now a real classic, which simply belongs to the cold season. However, teddy fur will not only come in the form of coats in winter 2021/2022. Be it a teddy fur jacket, pockets in teddy fleece, cuddly fur shoes or sweaters and loungewear pieces – teddy fur or faux shearling now comes with us as an all-over look. There is hardly any other material that is as cuddly and soft as this fluffy trend material.
Especially popular with influencers are boxy teddy fleece jackets in beige, brown or black, which remind us of typical outdoor jackets for hiking. Most of the jackets come in a material mix with smooth surfaces such as nylon or woven fabric and thus look particularly cool and casual.
Check pattern is also trendy in winter 2021/2022
The check pattern is a true evergreen and is as much a part of winter as cozy knits, warm boots and thick down jackets. Be it houndstooth, Vichy check or classic tartan pattern – checks adorn skirts, jackets, sweaters or pants in the cold season.
At the moment, fashion professionals are particularly fond of plaid skirts or blazers in preppy style, i.e. in a schoolgirl look. These pieces go well with casual sneakers or chunky Chelsea boots and are certainly a real eye-catcher in winter.
Winter fashion 2021/2022: Knitwear is a long-term trend
Knitwear is an important part of the cold season and has certainly never been as trendy as it is this winter. As a fashion trend for winter 2021/22, knitwear is now showing up in all kinds of forms: as skirts, pants, tops or even shorts, coarse or fine knit, with embroidery or plain.
Influencers this season prefer knitwear all-over, for example pants made of knitwear with a matching knitwear top or knitwear in the form of cool sweaters.
Fashion trends in the winter season 2021/2022: Wide cuts
In the fall/winter of 2020, oversize cuts were THE fashion trend epitome and will remain with us in the winter season of 2021/2022. However, this season oversize takes on new dimensions. This is because jackets, coats, sweaters, shirts and especially fabric pants (so-called dad pants) are not worn XL, but XXXL.
What’s important with dad pants: because the pants are already wide enough, the rest of the pieces should be cut as close-fitting as possible. By the way, with a feminine blouse and high heels, the trend pieces can also be styled extremely feminine.
Quick note in conclusion: Naturally, fashion is simply a matter of taste and not everyone finds the trends and pieces shown beautiful. Therefore, our styling tips, outfit ideas and hacks are intended to serve as inspiration for you – what you do with them is entirely up to you. Always remember, the choice of what you wear is yours alone. Nobody should tell you what you can or can’t wear. In the end, fashion should be one thing above all: fun!
