5 Fashion Trends for the New Year

5 Fashion Trends for the New Year

The start of this year is interesting as far as fashion is concerned. Most of us are wearing a mixture of professional clothing, formal outfits, and more loungewear than usual. Since we're not going to social events as much, many people are not investing as much in fine fashion pieces. However, it is important to look polished for work and school, even if you're attending virtually. Whether you're into bold colors, standout accessories, or oversized clothing that is cozy and comfortable, here are five fashion trends you can expect to see as the year progresses.

Catsuits

Catsuits are making an unexpected comeback this year. While many people think these suits are reserved for the catwalk, several celebrities have been seen wearing catsuits. This may inspire you to rock this bold fashion trend as well. Whether you choose a solid color or a pattern like stripes or snakeskin, you can find a catsuit that hugs your curves in all the right places. You can even find catsuits that are comfortable to work out in if you love 1980s fashion and want to complete your workouts in a vintage piece. Catsuits can also be paired with distressed denim jackets and fanny packs to make your 1980s look complete.

Boho Dresses

Boho dresses will likely never go out of style. They especially come in handy these days, when everyone is looking for clothing that is both stylish and comfortable. A boho dress is comfortable enough to wear around the house and can give you a carefree yet professional look if you have to report to work virtually or attend meetings online. These dresses come in a variety of colors and patterns so you're sure to find a few that match your style.

Chain Belts and Shiny Clothing

If you're still inspired by the style of the 1990s and early 2000s, try adding a chain belt to your outfit. These belts are on trend for the new year and look great with jeans and graphic t-shirts for a vintage look. You can also make sweater dresses and skirt suits more sophisticated with a chain belt. If you prefer a more demure look, an understated chain is best. Larger chain-link designs and belts with charms are ideal if you have a more outgoing sense of style.

Chain belts are usually shiny since they're made from metal, and they go great with other shiny clothing to make your wardrobe sparkle. Shiny blazers and crop tops are back in fashion this year, and these clothing pieces instantly make you feel upbeat and fancy. You'll likely find a variety of sparkly formal dresses at your favorite retail location or boutique since these are on-trend for cocktail parties and formal celebrations. You can also try shiny or sparkly pants if you want to take more fashion risks this new year.

Micro Jackets

Micro jackets are smaller than your average blazer but work as a "cherry on top" for your outfit to add color and texture. You can throw one of these jackets on to dress up a tank top or fitted shirt if you have to hop on a quick video call or wear one with jeans or slacks to create a more slender silhouette. Micro jackets also look great with mini skirts and are a nod to the style of the 1990s. These tiny jackets can show off your fun side or be paired with neutral colors to make your professional clothing stand out.

Boxy Jackets

If you're not into tiny blazers, you'll still be on trend if you wear a large, boxy jacket this year. These jackets have been pretty popular for years and they're here to stay, whether you pair them with knit dresses, skirts, or jeans. Since you can wear oversized jackets with just about anything, you can use these accessories to show off your sense of style and keep you warm whether you're dressed up or down.

Final Thoughts

If you're looking for a change from sweatpants and t-shirts this year, these fashion choices can instantly update your wardrobe. Whether you need to look your best during a virtual meeting or you're heading to a small gathering with friends and family members, these trendy pieces will add a little more visual interest to any outfit.

Terms & Conditions

Our general return policy applies to all eligible products except certain dresses listed below. You may return product(s) within 7 days for either a store credit or you may make an exchange. We do not issue refunds. A store credit will be issued minus a 15% restocking fee will be applied to all returns/exchanges. We do not profit from this restocking fee since our suppliers charge us this fee. An RMA must be submitted for approval in order to return an item. Shipping fees, if any, which were applied at purchase are not refunded. Once the item is received, an email will be sent to you with a store credit code that does not expire or an exchange will be processed.

HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO RETURN AN ITEM?

We offer a 7-day return window for most purchases (exclusions listed below).

The return window begins when your package is marked "Delivered" by the tracking system. From that time, you have 7 days (including weekends and holidays) to make a return/exchange request. You will be unable to submit a return/exchange request after that 7-day period.

ABOUT RE:DO RETURNS

  • Customers now have the option to pay $1.98 at the time of purchase to later qualify for free returns on that order.
  • Didn’t add and checkout with Re:Do? You will still return like normal and purchase a label through them with discounted shipping rates saving you time and money!

WHAT ITEMS ARE EXCLUDED FROM RETURNS AND EXCHANGES?

The following items are not eligible for a return or exchange:

  • Clearance items (will be clearly marked "Clearance" or have the price that does not end in $xx.99 or $xx.98)
  • Wedding gowns
  • Quinceanera dresses
  • Cinderella Divine Black Label
  • Tiaras
  • Designer dresses by Andrea & Leo Couture and DeKlaire Bridal

ARE THERE ANY FEES FOR RETURNING AN ELIGIBLE ITEM?

The following fees are as follows:

  • If shipping was complimentary at checkout, original freight/handling cost will be deducted.
  • Customer is responsible for shipping costs on return/exchanged items if RE:DO was not added to your order at checkout.
  • A 15% restocking fee for all returns will be accessed.
  • Packages that are denied and "returned to sender" or refused will be subject to a 50% restocking fee.
  • Please note that any amount paid for shipping is non-refundable.

WHAT IF I WANT TO MAKE AN EXCHANGE?

If you would like to make an exchange for a different size or dress, simply submit an RMA by clicking here . Once approved, you will receive an email with instructions. The exchange process can take 7-12 days. Once the item has been received and approved, you will receive an email with a code that you can use to apply on our website to make an exchange. You will go through the checkout process online.

If time is of the essence, place a new order for the item you need, then contact us by email informing us of this decision. If for some reason the item that you ordered is not available, it will not constitute a refund. In such a case, a store credit will be issued once the original dress has been returned.

WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS FOR RETURNED ITEMS?

  • Returns are carefully inspected; all original tags must be in place and the product must not show any signs of wear or damage.
  • Items found with snags, worn, washed, altered, ripped, stained, grease marks, pet hair, pen marks, perfume, deodorant stains, smoke odor and/or missing tags will be returned immediately at the customer's expense.

Came quickly and so unbelievably gorgeous. I'll have to get it taken in because it's too big in the bust for me. I'm 5'4 and won't be wearing heels with it, so I'll get the hem done too, but it's stunning. Quality quality quality. And a great price. Will definitely be back for more.
