The Trends I'm Leaving in 2021 — and What I'm Wearing Instead

Although I can appreciate the freedom embedded in a maxi dress, and designers like Chloé have endorsed the style during Paris Fashion Week, I've found that same sense of easy elegance in other types of dresses. Mini dresses have made a colorful and festive return in recent months, and I find myself gravitating towards them as they are equally versatile, plus the length presents a special challenge I enjoy solving for year-round wear.
