As fashion editors, we're always looking forward—we're scouring collections to anticipate next year's biggest trends or scrolling through Instagram to find the next It bag, It brand, or influencer of the
moment. It's rare to reflect in fashion, but luckily for us, we here at Who What Wear have one annual tradition that allows us a chance to go down Nostalgia Lane: The It List. Formerly known as our Street Style Awards, The It List is our version of Spotify Wrapped, but for fashion.
How did it go down exactly? We had our editors compile the trends, brands, and pieces that dominated the runways and our social feeds and then had our stylish readers (looking at you) vote for the best of the best. Once you all said your peace, we had a panel of critics weigh in on your favorites for each category. The result? Well, you'll have to see for yourself, but rest assured, if this recap taught us anything, it's that 2021 fashion understood the assignment.
