While a few years ago, feathers were primarily associated with pajama sets, today they adorn bags, skirts, tops, and jackets. A striking example is Emma Corrin’s recent choice of a Schiaparelli jacket. In the current season, feathers are the primary source of inspiration for designers.
For leisurewear, this trend takes on a more relaxed feel. Feathers are used as a subtle decorative element, easily integrated even into resort attire. One of the simplest approaches is trousers featuring feather trim. They add movement and flair to an outfit while pairing perfectly with a basic white t-shirt.
Feathered bags have also become highly fashionable. They introduce texture to ensembles, making even the simplest styling more interesting, and are particularly striking in vibrant colors like turquoise, which this summer is recommended to be paired with matching garments.
Another favorite this season is dresses adorned with feathers. They are perfect for summer dinners, festive occasions, or beach getaways. Most often, feathers are used as a contrasting trim along the hem of the skirt. Particularly trendy are rich tropical shades like fuchsia and lemon yellow, which designers suggest pairing with floral print dresses and heeled sandals.
