Quarantine motives: 3 fashion trends that self-isolation gave us

The quarantine seems to be here to stay for a long time. It is not surprising that at the same time it has an impact on life. Under its influence, everything changes - from the prices of products that have become in demand to... fashion. The self-isolation regime, as expected, left its mark on trends, giving them a touch of home comfort. Today I will tell you exactly what things have become fashionable during quarantine.

Knickers

In English, the word “knickers” is translated as “knickers.” Essentially, these are ordinary ladies' shorts with a high waist. The last time they were popular was back in the 90s. Back then, every girl dreamed of dressing in such underwear, throwing her boring thongs into the far corner of the closet.

However, times are changing. In the quarantine year of 2020, for example, Knickers suddenly ceased to be an element of underwear! With a slight movement of the hand they turned into... elegant shorts! Now pantaloons are made from soft and comfortable fabric and are worn as a full-fledged bottom.

Microshorts suddenly appeared on all Instagram stars. Some people complement their home look with this outfit.Others don’t hesitate to wear Knickers outside, especially since it’s terribly hot outside right now.

I must admit, this trend looks great on those with a well-defined figure. However, other “imperfect” young ladies should be careful with such pantaloons.

Knickers go well with almost any item of clothing. They look equally good with chunky knit cardigans and crop tops in matching fabrics. Shorts look good with silk blouses or white men's shirts of a classic cut.

Joggers

Initially, these were loose sports pants designed for running, which came into the fashion world from athletes. Comfortable, made from soft fabric with a straight cut, they fit beautifully, but at the same time allow complete freedom of movement. These trousers are held at the waist and ankles with soft elastic bands.

For some time, joggers were a staple of the home wardrobe. Often even an element of pajamas. However, forced self-isolation forced fashionistas to turn everything upside down and turn home items into Instagram trends.

The joggers also got some unexpected "companions." Nowadays, it is customary to wear sweatpants with high-heeled shoes, rather than sneakers or sneakers. The look looks equally good with classic pumps and bright sandals.

It is customary to wear shoes that match the main outfit. However, some fashionistas prefer to experiment, combining a generally strict style with frivolous sandals. It looks very good and original.

Biz-leisure

Translated from English, “biz-leisure” means “clothing that is suitable for leisure and work.”Simply put, this is a type of business casual that does not restrict movement, but at the same time looks quite formal.

This style came into fashion during quarantine and constant work meetings via Zoom. The girls didn’t really want to sit at home in a tight dress or an uncomfortable silk blouse. So they found a solution.

Biz-leisure fashion is a combination of business style and the now familiar street fashion. This is where the already mentioned joggers are included in combination with office shoes and a men's jacket. Well, an uncomfortable trouser suit can be replaced with “bicycle shorts”.

Another popular combination is sweatpants with a crop top. A fashionable formal look is completed with pumps and a cropped jacket. The result is convenience with a touch of office style.
