In the years before the active usage of social media, people were less interested in trends. The fashion world felt like a foreign land only accessible to celebrities and designers. However, with the passage of time, style and fashion became more reachable to a broader public. Many influencers have emerged on social media platforms like Instagram, YouTube, and Pinterest, who not only follow but create new trends.
Fashion never stops evolving; its ever-changing and fleeting nature keeps us desiring for more. The times change, and so do the fashion trends. Even with the pandemic, it was the same. Bollywood celebrities also contributed significantly to popularising these trends. Although the start of the year was slow in fashion, it was compensated by the end of 2020.
From tie-dye prints to sequin sarees, here are five new fashion trends to learn from social media celebrities.
Tie-dye Prints
The days of hippie vibes are back, and the tie-dye prints have returned with them. The breezy pattern became a mainstay over t-shirts, jumpers, and hoodies, notably in the tracksuits worn by celebrities. DIY tie-dyeing remained popular in the last year, owing to many people being confined at home.
The vibrant trend has been around for a while, but it has now reached prominent designers, who are re-inventing tie-dyed clothes in their current collections.
Following the trend, Alia Bhatt wore a faded tie-dye tee and white jeans, which is a superb way to keep your t-shirt in the spotlight.
Micro Bags
When it comes to one’s style, bags are an essential item that everyone wants to play around with. Big bags were so last since they got much smaller in 2020. Micro bags, in various forms, have become popular in recent years.
From round shapes to micro mini bags, these tiny bags are creating new bag trends. These accessory pieces, which are midway between the form of a party clutch and a shoulder strap, are making social media celebrities fall in love. Sonam Kapoor and others sported the micro handbags trend.
Statement Sleeves
The best-dressed stars recognized the power of the poofy sleeves when it came to adding a charm to their OOTDs. From puffy shoulders to oversized peasant sleeves, this year’s volume was undoubtedly up.
Oversized sleeves have been around for a while; they are light and billowy in soft colors, lustrous fabrics, and cheery designs this year. Among the celebrities, Sonam Kapoor Ahuja embraced old-world charm with mutton sleeves on her couture dress, while Anushka Sharma liked the trend in a party-ready short dress.
