Fall/Winter 2021-22 fashion trends – The guide

Autumn-Winter 2021/22 clothing trends

What do the new collections from the big fashion houses tell us about the season's moods? Generally, there has been a trend toward rethinking the wardrobe in bolder terms, starting with vibrant colors and futuristic, digitally-inspired patterns. Here are the must-have items for AW 2021/22.

The revolution in winter clothing is signed by Valentino: the famous Italian designer offers short dresses and skirts in shades of black and white. Even in the colder months, there will be ways to show off your legs. The chicest mini women's dresses are paired with white collars for an adorable bon ton effect.

Evening is the best time of day to be daring with your look: designers who brought dresses, pants, and jackets covered in sequins and heavy fringe to the runway know this well. For important events, for special occasions, but also for a daily life seasoned with flair: you can never have enough sparkle!

For everyday life in the coming autumn/winter, it is good to stock up on three-piece suits, consisting of a top worn under a jacket, a jacket, and matching skirt or trousers. A perfect office outfit for the autumn season, with the right amount of sobriety and elegance, without ever sacrificing practicality.

What fabrics are these matching sets made of? Knitwear wins above all, a favorite also for dresses to wear at this time of year.

Two skirt models reign supreme at this time of year: elegance is entrusted to the pleated style, not suitable for every body type but with great visual impact, while comfort is symbolized by the skirt with pants underneath, the original wardrobe element that cannot be missing from any collection.

Practical outfits with style: how to dress in the cold season

Jeans are getting wider and wider, and flared pants, which have been back in fashion for a couple of years, are not missing this time either. A style choice that adapts well to any time of day to be lived with a casual and practical look.

The skin-tight jumpsuits that fit like a second skin, popularized by Prada, are making a big comeback this year too: whether they are extremely sporty or brilliantly elegant, the important thing is that they hit the mark, attract attention, and guarantee the right compromise between comfort and style.

For very cold days, you need items in your wardrobe that are protective but also stylish: thus, faux fur and yeti-effect furry coats are making their way among the evergreen trends. Warm armor available in all colors, even the brightest ones, so you're never without the right outerwear to face long winter days.

As has happened with other garments that periodically return to favor, this season it is time for bomber jackets to be resurrected from the past and become fashionable items once again. The abundance of volume is accompanied by the most varied patterns and different fabrics, such as leather: the bomber jacket becomes a canvas on which motifs and colors intertwine for a super cool winter.

Coats are confirmed as XXXL: banish the tight fit and welcome absolute comfort, to be chosen in neutral colors and classic cuts, for which the only difference is the size, which absolutely does not have to correspond to your own. Beautiful, truly beautiful, and worked down to the smallest detail are the tailored coats that become more important than what they hide underneath. The finely decorated shell becomes the best business card, to be worn day and night.
