1.2020's biggest fashion trends reflect a world in crisis
Functionality
Face masks became the unrivaled(无对手的) accessory of the year. People made their own brands,produced unique designs and, almost overnight, they became the finishing touch to many outfits.
Comfort
Fashion platform Lyst looked at search data from over 100 million online shoppers and, in its annual report, found that Birkenstock clogs, Crocs, UGG slippers and Nike joggers were among the year's most sought-after items of clothing.
Statements
Statement-wear took on an entirely new meaning in 2020. From protest T-shirts in support of the Black Lives Matter movement to political merchandise in the lead up to the US election, people dressed not to impress, but to convey powerful messages.
Conscious
Growing demand for local, handmade, sustainable clothing isn't a new trend. But the pandemic saw a rise in values-driven shopping, reflecting a shift in mindset among more cautious spenders, who, perhaps, also had more time to think about the brands they lent their loyalty to.
Digital
From Shanghai to London, fashion weeks throughout the year went digital to present new collections safely. During London Fashion Week in September, Burberry streamed its show— filmed live in the woods — on Twitch, a social media platform more popular with gamers than fashionistas.
The future
Fashion's recovery from the pandemic is set to be slow, with experts predicting a difficult year ahead for businesses. Trends seen during a year defined by crisis will not be left at 2021's door, and they may permanently change the shape of the industry.
