[WilkerCSBD]

By 2021 he has been welcomed with the illusion of dressing up glamorously again and joining the "cottagecore" style, a bucolic fashion that embraces rural life, leaving aside the comfortable garments that have boomed during the pandemic in the long days of teleworking and virtual meetings.

Since a more homelike life has been led, the wardrobe has adapted to these demands and comfortable garments mixed with basics and sports pieces prevail, but now a new phenomenon appears, the "cottagecore", which is linked to living in the country and a rural but cozy lifestyle.

They are garments that are inspired by country life, with a romantic air and sweet colors, friendly prints with flowers or "vichy" pictures, pieces in which natural fabrics and hand sewing take center stage, "it is a reconciliation with the outdoors. , with nature as an aesthetic aspiration ", explains the fashion communication expert Pepa Fernández.

A fashion that the designer Simon Porte Jacquemus already introduced when he moved to a lavender field in French Provence to present a bucolic collection with floral prints, fresh fabrics, country hats, pastel and natural colors.

"The new C&A 'Ladies and Clockhouse' collections address the changes in our society and revolve around the need to be close to nature and around new social habits, such as spending more time at home, working remotely and find new ways to travel ", they explain from the firm.

In addition to comfort and nature, as central axes of its designs for next year, the brand has a firm mission: to make sustainability its new normal with recycled materials, organic cotton, viscose from responsible origin and linen grown sustainably in Europe.

But there are also new fashion trends in which feminine power prevails with a fabulous tailored suit or an evening dress, dressed to shine.
A trend that will coexist with glamorous, more sophisticated garments, "because now people want to enjoy beauty", Alicia Hernández, also an expert in fashion communication, has optimistically assured.

According to his criteria, society will overcome the pandemic and joy and a taste for sophistication will return, "as in the 1950s when Christian Dior devised the 'New Look' silhouette to fill society with happiness" remembers Hernández.

This year, designers are betting on special and durable garments, the consumer is crying out for quality. "The euphoria of consuming is going to disappear", says Jorge Vázquez, creative director of the firm Pertegaz, who advocates garments with flirty volumes, colorful embroidery and large bows.

Dior opts for outfits with an elegant and slightly androgynous cut, with a touch at the same time bohemian and solemn that successfully combines traditional elegance with contemporary functionality. Wide pants, sets of midi skirts with kimono-style double-breasted jackets are some of his proposals.

White, black and pink are the predominant colors of the Chanel collection that is inspired by the fashion of the eighties to launch sophisticated and wearable garments such as "oversize" shoulder blazers, as well as cardigans or the legendary "blazers" of "tweed".

Flawless pieces to work with: straight skirts above the knee, loose dresses, high-waisted or pirate-cut suits or trousers that take the reins of the wardrobe.

Asymmetrical cut dresses, with bows and illusions, and sequin jacket suits are the favorites for the evening along with models with layers and feathers on sleeves and skirts, reminiscent of the golden decade of Hollywood.

Balmain also joins the luxury trend and proposes sequined jumpsuit and bell bottoms, the disco aesthetic of the eighties that Isabel Marant also shares to try to forget everything that happened in the damn 2020.
