March into Spring-Summer with style! SS21 Trend Report
BY IVY SCARLETT
“The return of 90s fashion staples, and candy tone footwear.”
Check out the sustainable fashion brands to watch this Spring-Summer and get inspiration on the many ways you can revamp your wardrobe this season.
Trends to look out for? Casual silhouettes and soft tailoring are leading the charge, followed by the return of 90s fashion staples, and candy tone footwear.
90s Bold Prints
Fanfare Label
Sustainable Eco Dyed White Printed Jumpsuit – Price: £225.00
90s fashion was all about the graphic prints – motifs and repeats. This trend is making a comeback this season. Fanfare’s printed jumpsuit speaks for itself; made from certified cotton satin which has been tested for harmful chemicals and found to be safe. The dyes used to print the design onto the fabric are water-based pigment inks, with no harmful chemical residues.
Candy Tone Palettes
Womsh
Step up your footwear game this summer with sustainable styles in candy and liquorice tones.
Italian sustainable footwear brand Womsh, offers a range of cool, quirky footwear designs to choose from. Vegan Loop White – €209
However, if you’re after footwear that can weather both sunny and rainy days, then you may be interested in their Vegan Loop White PETA-Approved boot. These boots are made from recycled neoprene and Vegan Appleskin (upper), and recycled PET (laces).

Accessories
The Diamond Store

This season accessorise your outfits with a variety of jewellery styles perfect for any special occasion.
The Diamond Store offers a luxurious, sustainable collection of lab grown diamond engagement rings and jewellery pieces. These diamonds are not extracted from the earth, which means their creation does not result in the depletion of natural resources, nor compromises our planet.
This sparkly Heart Pendant Necklace from The Diamond Store, is made from yellow gold with a milgrain edge for a touch of vintage elegance.
Soft Tailored Shirts
Aissata Ibrahima
‘’Lovers’’ Contrast Split Shirt T/W – Price: £450.00
If you’re more of a minimalist fashion enthusiast, then you may want to take a look at RTW made-to-order womenswear brand, Aissata Ibrahima. Inspired by menswear silhouettes, Ibrahima’s "Lovers" Contrast Split Shirt is made from 100% cotton mixed with a textured silk cotton blend. The traditional collar and oversized cuffs are contrasted with a two-tone colour pallet. This style of soft tailoring is going to be a hit this spring-summer.
90s Fur Gilets
Celtic & Co
Luxe Toscana Gilet - $1,100.00
Another nod to the 90s are Fur Gilets, forecasted to make a comeback this spring-summer.
This garment, in my humble opinion, is the ultimate fashion item. Trans seasonal and luxurious, great for day and evening outfits. Celtic & Co’s Luxe Toscana Gilet is made from 100% Toscana Sheepskin.
