Risk-Averse Dressers Will Avoid These Trends in 2021
Whenever designers send a particularly inventive, out-there look down the runway, they are fully aware that it's not going to be everyone's cup of tea, and that's okay. Adventurous dressers will eat up all of the amazing trends from the S/S 21 collections, but they certainly won't be for everyone.
Below, I've rounded up five daring 2021 trends that risk-averse dressers will be avoiding—and what to replace them with. Take, for instance, the controversial denim trend du jour: ultra-baggy jeans. Katie Holmes recently threw her hat into the ring and wore drop-crotch versions (and our readers had some feelings). If you're loving it, go for it, but if you prefer subtler trend, I've got you covered in this story too.

I love how these pants are styled with a tucked-in ruched top.

Replace With: Eyelet
Eyelets are a more subtle version of the hole-y trend.
Miu Miu can do no wrong, in my opinion.
I can't wait to take a real vacation at some point next year. I'll definitely be packing this top.
3. Hot Pants

Yes, pedal pushers are still trendy, but not nearly as risky as hotpants.
