The pandemic has put a hold on how we dress and surely affects when we head out too. We all love a reason to get dressed up; doing your hair and makeup just to sit inside on Zoom calls isn't cutting it, and we are ready to feel like ourselves again. That means embracing a little over-the-top outfits and wearing things that are occasionally impractical, like a fabulous dress to a market or a pair of fierce ankle boots instead of sneakers. It doesn't matter where you are going - just the fact that you are safe and can be out in the world again is going to be an event. So, how are we going to dress once the situation gets better, once we venture out and once this pandemic is actually over? We decode five trends and how we dress up may take a turn in the future.

This Is How We Are Going To Dress Up After This Pandemic
1. Avant-Garde Masks
These days, masks are with every person. It has become a signature tool to signify the world around us. The biggest paradigm shifts have historically come from major events such as wars and diseases, making people think of creative and out of the box alternatives. Before masks were only a part of the runways. Now, designers are showing how to make fashion through apocalyptic masks - mask moments were everywhere. The effect? We're expecting ready-to-wear face-coverings that may now come aligned with the clothes and speak more of an avant-garde language.
2. Don't Waste - Wake Up Call
We're not even halfway through 2021, but the new decade has so far demanded a radical and urgent rethink of how we manufacture and consume fashion. Ambitious efforts to tackle waste- from renting clothes to shopping sustainable labels only are already driving changes we hope this is the ultimate waste-conscious wake-up call that we've all been waiting for.
3. Relaxed And Chill Silhouettes
The homely environment may make us choose comfortability over 'being extra.' Yoga pants and hoodies, oversized and relaxed garments may become our priority and athleisure might continue to reign king. Once this situation clears, it will be overwhelming to see the streets flocked by casual clothing lovers who had made 'relaxed fashion' as their mantra. The middle space between them would be occupied by some silk pajama sets or nightgowns, or slinky robes, which have that same luxe-yet-comfy balance that is already a street staple.
4. Revenge Dressing
So, what does vengeful fashion look like? For many of us, this pandemic would be taken like someone who broke your heart and you're ready to get back out there and look incredible. Getting dressed up is the ultimate mood-lifter that we have been denied. Mainly, it's about relishing in the clothes that we've been denied the opportunity to wear. For some, that might be barely just another slip dress but for some, it might be the armour with military boots. For others, it might be taking a complete U-turn and hitting the reset button on your style.
5. Bright, Bright Ensembles
Maybe, our colour palette has gone dull and boring which aligns with our "not so happening" life anymore. But, designers are finding ways and middle grounds of comfortable fashion without sacrificing elegance and flair. Sequin-embroidered pants, bright, colour-blocked relaxed apparels - basically, we are not ready to leave out drama and fun even that be loungewear and look extravagantly stylish.
