The global pandemic has had a major influence on fashion. Last spring, with stay-at-home orders in full effect, and many of the world’s population sheltering in place, a new trend began to emerge. The trend of dressing for comfort. In a world where zoom meetings, homeschooling, and working from bed became the new norm. Sweats and fuzzy blankets became an integral part of our everyday wardrobes, and fuzzy blankets are the biggest accessory. In these times of uncertainty, as the world begins to slowly open up, with many of us no longer quarantined to our homes, many of us want to cling on to that feeling of comfort and security associated with staying at home. As a result, the idea of the “Self-Soothing Wardrobe” has become one of the most sought-after trends for fall (Vogue, 2020). A look characterized by taking all of the comfy things we love most about the inside and wearing them out.” Styles such as blanket dressing, puffer jackets, long wrap-around scarves, and fuzzy knits will provide us with that warm cozy feeling, long after we’ve left our beds. Although the Fall 20 collections were designed prior to Covid, ironically many of the designers already had this look in mind. Bottega Veneta, Alexander Wang, and Rick Owens completely nailed this look by presenting a strong collection of statement outerwear, luxe sweatsuits, and quilted shopper bags for fall. With that in mind, here a list of all of the Comfy Covid Fashion staples to add to your “Self-Soothing ” wardrobe this fall.

Blanket Dressing

Blanket dressing refers to using cozy items such as clothing, outerwear, and accessories as a way to replicate the feeling of being at home surrounded by a blanket. This trend began during the pandemic as we were all quarantined to our homes. As we start to reemerge back into society during an uncertain time, we want to take that feeling of security and comfort we relish from home. As a result, we have begun to incorporate this aesthetic into our wardrobes. This trend has been seen most notably on outerwear, combined with either a sport or a street-chic look. Other staples include cozy knitwear, as well as wraparound scarves, and other swaddled looks.
