Hello, everyone at Cafetalk!

I found the above photo in my past professional acting files and I thought I would share it with you. As an actress, our agents were constantly asking us for new headshots. They are extremely important since they are like business cards that can get you in the door. It was just a hassle and expensive to update professional shots all the time, every year.

[Today's Topic:] The Latest Fashion Trends

I just wanted to say "hello" and talk to you about today's topic. Today's topic is the "Latest Fashion Trends." I researched many articles from reputable fashion magazines, and what I discovered was that the latest styles basically repeated themselves in each publication. Then, I selected the most salient and useful styles that came up consistently for this tutor's column post. 

Just so you know, these are forecasts from fashion trends throughout 2021. I'm sure you've already seen many of these selections in real life around you. At the same time, some of the articles of clothing included may be a complete surprise to you. I hope you can either learn what types of styles are trending right now, or confirm that the clothes you're wearing are spot on in fashion trends right now!

Here we go! The first style I want to show you that is trending in 2021 is:

1.) Chunkier Soles and Shoes

Wide heels and chunky soles have been popular sneaker styles for several years, but the trend may expand to less casual footwear in the coming year.



2.) Earthy colors are on the rise.

Earth tones may become the new neutrals in the coming decade. 

"Warm, earthy colors are working their way into fashion at a very fast pace," Kenger told Insider. "They're replacing the sleek blacks and grays we've been seeing for a long time."

The colors on the rise will likely include rust reds, mustard yellows, and deep browns.


3.) "Shackets" are on track to be all the rage in 2021.

LA-based fashion stylist Brittany Diego told Insider that 2021 is the year of the shacket. 

"I predict shackets will be the must-have pieces of this coming year," she said. "They're lighter than a jacket but thicker than a shirt, making them the perfect layering piece."

You can layer a shacket over a tank top or sweater to add a bit of extra warmth or wear one under your regular coat on colder days.

4.) Bralettes

New trends may bring a wave of pink pieces to wardrobes and runways. 

"I predict that pink will be a really popular color in 2021," Blanc told Insider. "The spring 2021 runways were full of pink silk, pink pants, pink accessories, and even pink details in tweed." 

Hues like bubblegum and pastel pink may be easier to incorporate into everyday wear, but more saturated and neon shades are gaining popularity, too.


 
6.)  Voluminous Sleeves and Shoulders

The Old Way: In 2019 and early 2020, we were all about glamour. Nothing was too extreme, and we felt the urge to play around with drop earrings, polka-dotted accessories, and heels.
