8 "Risky" Trends We're Not Afraid to Try This Year, Thanks to Celebs

We're showcasing eight risky 2021 fashion trends celebrities love that are actually quite easy to pull off.

As fashion editors, we're typically not afraid of a little sartorial adventure. Sure, we all have our own personal styles (I personally tend to stick to the more elevated basic looks), but overall, we're down to test out fresh trends that may be out of our typical comfort zones. And sometimes, said trends just so happen to be "riskier" than others out there. You know, trends like the J.Lo-approved bodysuit-with-leggings look.

On that celebrity style note, I thought I'd actually dig a little deeper into the forward celeb-endorsed trends my fellow editors are interested in trying this year. You know, to have a little fun and perhaps inspire your 2021 shopping list. Of course, some may not be your style, but there are also a few looks ahead that could be worth a try. With all that in mind, keep scrolling to check out the trends we're ready to test out, complete with celeb inspo. Plus, shop the best iterations of each look.

"I have a hunch that spring 2021 will be all about the exposed neckline, and it's a trend I'm ready to take on.

"I'm intrigued by the idea of wearing lingerie as outerwear. It's a trend we saw on the spring runways at Dion Lee and Marina Moscone, and as 'risky' as it may be, I think Bella Hadid's corset layered over a plain tank or button-down is the approachable way I'll be trying it out in 2021."—Anna LaPlaca, associate editor

"Next year, I really want to channel Haley Bieber as much as possible. There—I said it. I think she takes just the right amount of risks while somehow always looking classy. I just about died when I saw her wear this T-shirt dress with knee-high boots and a leather blazer. So long as I have the appropriate counterparts, I plan on attempting wearing large T-shirts as dresses in 2021."—Lauren Eggertsen, senior editor
