Big Trend Energy: How I'm Styling 2021's Key Looks in a Modest Way

"This aesthetic has to be my favorite. I love how I can mix and match so many pieces to achieve the look. It's also maybe because I feel safer and more

comfortable in dark colors. I found most of my "grungy" pieces in thrift stores, which is probably due to the timelessness of this style. Every time I wear a beret and my Docs, my mum comments on how that was in when she was younger too.

"To achieve this look, don't be afraid to try something new. I know it can be scary to try new trends when you don't see people who look like you in that space, but our generation is most definitely changing that. Go for clashing prints and textures that are associated with grunge culture, such as tartan, leather, screenprints, lace, and denim. Try new accessories like berets, hair clips (they look adorable over hijabs), neck scarves, and my personal fave, ties. (I stole my dad's.) My favorite purchase that fits this aesthetic was my secondhand Sandy Liang apron pants, which essentially are tartan pants with a built-in miniskirt and chain… a dream."
