Shortly after the start of the pandemic, there was a lot of discussion about how the fashion industry must become more sustainable. First, there was the Forum Letter in May 2020, led by Dries Van Noten, asking that discounting only take place at the end of the season and calling for changes to be made to the fashion calendar. Then came the Rewiring Fashion letter, asking for the latter as well as the reimagination of the shows. Then, there was the CFDA and BFCâs message to the industry, recommending that designers focus on no more than two main collections a year. All of these were positive signs that the industry was finally coming together to take tangible action on reducing its impact on the planet.

How will the pandemic change fashion? It’s the question we’ve been asking ourselves for nine months. Some of the answers out there are too general that we’ll wear sweatpants forever or, conversely, dress up in sequins and heels every day. A more realistic prediction is that our clothes will become softer, more comfortable, and more versatile.
That will inevitably require some stretch. The retail analytics firm Edited has reported that brands are “easing customers back” into regular clothes by adding more stretch fabrics and elastic waists. Premium denim labels are swapping vintage-inspired rigid jeans for stretchy ones blended with polyester, spandex, and Lycra. We’re seeing the influence on the runways too: In the recent spring 2021 collections, designers shot elastic through the waists of dresses, styled tuxedo jackets with track pants, and cut suits in performance jersey.
