While feathers were once primarily associated with pajama sets a few years ago, they now adorn bags, skirts, tops, and blazers. A prime example is Emma Corrin’s recent choice of a striking Schiaparelli jacket. In the current season, feathers are the primary source of inspiration for designers.
For vacation wear, this trend takes on a more relaxed feel. Feathers are employed as a subtle decorative accent, easily integrated even into resort wardrobes. One of the simplest ways to adopt this is with trousers featuring feather embellishments. 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 an ensemble, elevating even the simplest styling, and are particularly striking in vibrant colors. Turquoise, for instance, is recommended this summer in combination with clothing of the same hue.
Another seasonal favorite includes dresses adorned with feathers. These are perfect for summer dinners, festive occasions, or seaside getaways. Feathers are most commonly used as a contrasting trim along the hem of skirts. Rich tropical shades like fuchsia and lemon yellow are particularly trendy; designers suggest pairing them with floral print dresses and heeled sandals.
