5 Upcoming Styles to Look Out For

January 29, 2021

Despite the snow and cold temperatures that have swept the nation over the last couple of weeks, it’s time to start looking towards the next season and making sure your clothing collection is ready. Spring will be here before we know it, and it’ll benefit you to have some SS21 stock ready to sell to your style-savvy customers. After all, as soon as the weather starts to improve, fashion quickly follows.

Whether you’re in the market for women’s clothing, men’s fashion or both, here are 5 styles that are definitely worth investing in over the coming weeks.

 

Women’s SS21 styles
At Whispering Smith we have our finger on the pulse when it comes to upcoming styles and trends that we think customers will love. When it comes to stocking up for spring, women’s fashion offers transitional styles that can work wonders when the weather is still a little temperamental.

 

Knitted co-ords
Knitted co-ords are set to take on a refresh for SS21, with matching sets that can be worn for a number of occasions. Our knitted vest and skirt co-ord in particular offers a summery style while incorporating a ribbed look that has been so popular of late. Designed in seasonal colours including cinnamon and beige, it’s a trend that can be styled easily for staying at home or heading out.

 

Utility-style dresses
The utility trend is back, and is a perfect choice for spring thanks to its casual style and lightweight fabrics. Characterised by zips, pockets and belts, utility outfits are no doubt going to be everywhere in a few weeks. Get ahead of the game by pre-ordering our sage utility-style belted mini dress, designed with a button-through style and collar. The colour is perfect for the spring season, and if you love it that much, its available in stone too!

 

Men’s SS21 styles
Menswear for SS21 is set to be full of those classics that you can’t get enough of, from box-fresh white trainers to lightweight t-shirts and jackets. We’ve got the perfect items to kickstart your spring collection.

 

Utility-style gilets
Similar to womenswear, utility styles are coming back for men’s clothing collections too, in wearable designs that are great for the upcoming spring weather. Our utility quilted gilet is an ideal transitional style, with side zips and a centre pocket that the utility trend are known for. Available in black, it’s a versatile style that can be paired with the rest of your SS21 collection effortlessly.

 

Twill shorts and trousers
Twill fabric is a popular choice for menswear, with its subtle woven pattern that can add detail to the simplest of designs. Twill is a type of cotton, which means it can also keep you cool and is both lightweight and breathable. Men’s trousers in particular often benefit from being made in a twill fabric, creating a stylish season-friendly finish.


Our cotton twill cuffed pants are a great example of adding some on-trend style to your collection, with cargo style pockets and elasticated cuffs while still maintaining a sleek, casual look.

Similarly, our cotton twill drawstring shorts are a great investment as we welcome warmer weather, available in both stone and black.

 

Unisex styles
When it comes to styles that suit both genders equally, you can’t get better than sweatshirts. Sweatshirts or hoodies are ideal for year-round wear, and are incredibly easy to style for any occasion.

For women, try a cropped style like our mint cropped sweatshirt, with a simple crew neck and ribbed cuffs. Dress it up or keep it casual; either option is easily achieved, no matter the weather!

For men, opt for something a little different to the usual with our fleece zip neck sweatshirt, designed with a funnel neck and quarter zip. Available in cream and khaki, this is a perfect transitional style to include in your SS21 collection.
