You may have noticed a recent shift in fashion and what is "in." Previously, it was always something with sharp tailoring and an out-of-the-way approach to fashion, but as time goes by, it has become more evident that people are no longer putting themselves as an inconvenience in the name of fashion. Generally, the notion of fashion was all about looking good and less about comfort, whereas now, the dynamics have changed.

People, including designers, are ditching the idea of looking good over comfort and you can see it in the designs, the fashion, and the looks that are marketed to the audience.

Going Soft

In simpler words, fashion has now become soft. The fashion of sharp tailoring has officially been discarded to be replaced with the fashion of soft edges. A simple example is coats. For people of older generations, a perfect coat would be one that comes with a well-defined silhouette, button fastening, and overall something that hugs the figure. While on the other hand, today's fashion presents puffy jackets that come in a boxy style and sleek lightweight belts with diamonds. 

Squishy Is The New Style

A jacket that can be easily squished and this particular squishiness has migrated into other fashion items as well, like the cult Bottega Veneta Cassette handbag that became a huge hit, especially on Instagram. If you thought this was a coincidence, then think again, since even companies like Vogue are jumping onto the bandwagon and named the soft bag 'comfort pouch' mainly because of its squishy characteristics and can comfortably fit under your arm.

Comfy Shoes All The Way

Even shoes have joined the club, and now, shoe designs reflect a much more comfortable, softer, and easy-going style instead of the traditional footwear that would frame the foot while causing a few bruises here and there. From UGGs boots to soft sneakers, this is what you will see in fashion.

There are many reasons why this would be the case. The first reason is that people are tired of the same old fashion trends that compromise comfort. The second reason is that people are also realizing that their comfort matters a lot, and no amount of style or fashion should affect that.

People want to feel good over looking good, which is why fashion trends and designs have been influenced to be softer and more comfortable. And despite the general opinion, there is a likeness towards the feel of the squishy quilted fabrics, so they serve both purposes: being a comfort for the body and easy on the eyes.

Believe it or not, many people have been praying for this to happen. Now, they are finally going to be able to wear what they enjoy.
