The sweater goes retro

In general, knits will be essential in men's and women's wardrobes from the start of the school year, but a piece worn by our ancestors is making a comeback - and we didn't see it coming: the sleeveless sweater . This great classic of the preppy style was honored on the catwalks of many big houses during the physical and digital fall-winter 2021 shows, with several variations to match. If it is generally offered in sober colors - although - the sleeveless sweater is a sensation in a plain version as a print (be careful, the houndstooth is also making a comeback), in classic knit as a cable, and even in a cropped version -top. In other words, you will be spoiled for choice.

It remains to be seen how you are going to wear it, because here again the possibilities are endless: alone, or over an under-sweater, a T-shirt or a shirt, in combination with pants or a skirt, or even as a mini-dress. , with heels, sneakers or combat boots. You choose ! In the same vein, it will be necessary to count on the cardigan - thank you grandma! - next season. Never really gone, but not really trendy, the timeless wool jacket with buttons on the tail side will be considered one of next season's star pieces.

head scarves

If the silk scarf has never disappeared from circulation, the way of wearing it seems to differ greatly according to the generations. And this is again a return to the era of granny that we will observe from the next school year, because said accessory will be worn on the head. Attention, we are not talking about the scarf tied in an adventurous way of modern times, almost like a bandana. Nope ! It is indeed a question of the scarf which conceals almost all of the hair - with the exception of the fringe - and which attaches under the chin. The pinnacle of elegance, in short, as Brigitte Bardot, Catherine Deneuve, or Audrey Hepburn wore in the 1960s.

Dior is one of the houses that brought it up to date on the occasion of the fall-winter 2021 fashion shows, notably declining it in a leopard version, but it is also found in a plain version, with abstract prints, or even stripes. .
