Without a doubt, fashion has taken a quirky turn ever since the pandemic hit and we’re totally here for it. Oversized sunglasses are back after a quick hiatus, and have taken on the form of a bug eye or alien-like shape which hugs the face – both unsettling yet futuristic.

While tiny purses continue to have their place in fashion, utility is something that cannot be beat. Messenger bags have made their return to fashion, partly thanks to Bella Hadid being spotted with a vintage Chanel messenger a few weeks ago. This is a no muss, no fuss style usually made of canvas, with a spacious interior and multiple pockets to hold your necessities.

Nope, do not change your glasses, you are seeing double. When Miu Miu first debuted their outrageously short miniskirts, no one expected dual buckles to start trending, but here we are.
