Try these 2021 fashion trends you can wear in any weather. The key pieces are so easy to put together. You can make outfits that feel fashionable without a lot of fuss. Women of all ages can wear these 3 key pieces rain or shine.

1. VEST

Sweater vests have been making a comeback for a while and the fall 2021 runways were full of them. Prints and patterns played and layered together.

Start simple and wear a vest like this one, only $68, solo with just your favorite layered necklaces or later over a button up and blue jeans.

SHOP THE LOOK

This cable knit style from Target is only $20 and comes in 5 colors.

The most popular way I’ve seen a sweater vest layered is over a white shirt dress or basic button up. Fashionable women of all ages are wearing their version of street style right now.

SHOP THE LOOK

Black and white is a fashion favorite for all ages.

2. SHORTS

This summer shorts were back in a big way. One of my FASHION FUNDAMENTALS  is being able to wear all of your pieces at least two ways. Wear them now with a sleeveless top and sandals and later with boots and a blazer. You can even add tights for more coverage. 

SHOP THE LOOK

There’s a style for everyone from super short to a longer full-leg burmuda like these from Karen Kane in 4 neutral colors and only $119. 

SALE CAMISOLE | BLAZER | BAG | VEST | NUDE HEELS | TWEED SHORTS | SOLID SHORTS | BOOTS | SWEATER

3. MOTO JACKET

I’d consider a motorcycle jacket a wardrobe staple. This season “biker chick” looks are on trend. From leather jackets, to boots, to chokers.

A motorcycle jacket was one of the Nordstrom 6 recommendations in our Who What Wear article because its so stylish at any age and goes with just about anything.

Wear right now. Balance the edgy feel with a soft silk camisole or satin slip dress.

GET THE LOOK

If you decide to invest in a good quality like these make sure the fit is perfect. If you are petite get a petite so the waist nips at the right spot and sleeves stop where they should.

Great quality name brand available in petite and regular sizes.

If you’re looking for gold hardware this style comes in regular and petite sizes. Check out the brown.

This is my new favorite. Restocked and available in more colors. Size up 1-2 sizes.
