Here’s How to Celebrate This Year’s Most Exciting Virtual 2021 Events and Experiences in Style

Whether you’re watching the inauguration or plan to dance along to this year’s Grammy performances, this is the gear you’ll need to get in the spirit….

I remember reading MIT professor, Sherry Turkle’s book Alone Together in college and being struck by her argument that our increasingly technological lives are leading to decreased emotional ones. In 2013, I found Turkle’s argument poignant and still I find it true, but in 2020, with the rise of the pandemic, technology really did serve as a lifeline to an emotional existence. In my own life over the last year, I’ve only maintained some semblance of normalcy through fitness classes beamed into my living room, virtual therapy sessions, and Zoom celebrations. I’ve remained connected to friends and colleagues through texts and calls and conversations on Instagram provoked by memes and intriguing images. Major movie or TV show drops on streaming platforms, like the Queen’s Gambit on Netflix, have given us something to talk about when every single day feels the same as the last. We were indeed alone together.

In 2021, the thrill of new virtual events and experiences are helping us ramp back up to normal life both emotionally and sartorially, giving us things to look forward to while fostering a sense of community and of course, staying safe at home. There’s a palpable anticipation for the release of new movies or upcoming livestreamed events like the Grammys and the Oscars because they are again tethering us to one another from our individual homes and giving us inspiration to shake ourselves out of a year-long sweatpants rut. In other words, it’s time to get reacquainted with our sense of style and fall back in love with fashion. Whether you’re celebrating by dressing up for the Inauguration or the Grammys, or you’re finding sartorial inspiration from a new Wes Anderson movie like his highly anticipated The French Dispatch or a new museum opening, there’s something soothing about knowing that millions of others are experiencing the same thing as you, even if you can’t physically be with them.

Vogue’s January Index features an array of virtual events and experiences we’re looking forward to in 2021, those of which will undoubtedly liven up our day-to-day wares. Here, these are the happenings that we’re actually getting dressed for this year, because there’s nothing like a little glamour at home to bring us all together from afar.

A$AP Rocky Turned An Entire Manchester City Kit Into His Album Rollout

A$AP Rocky doesn’t do album rollouts quietly, and this one recruited an entire Premier League club to help. Manchester City, PUMA, and Rocky teamed up on a limited apparel run tied to “Don’t Be Dumb,” his 2026 album, timed around his September 5th show at Co-op Live.

The centerpiece is a long-sleeve PUMA King jersey in black and archive gold, with “DON’T BE DUMB” running down the sleeve and AWGE branding worked in throughout. A bold “MANCHESTER” graphic covers the back. Fans could also add limited “A$AP 11” name-and-number printing onto the club’s actual Home, Away, or Third kits, while supplies lasted at retail.

There’s a players-only version too, and it never went up for sale. That one sticks closer to City’s usual sky-blue identity, with its own sleeve detailing and back graphic — the kind of piece that exists purely because a handful of people got lucky.

The whole rollout kicked off with a one-night pop-up on September 4th, when PUMA turned a spot in Manchester’s Northern Quarter into a pop-up cafe for the night, mixing football, music, and street style into one room before the wider release hit the stadium store the next morning. Some of those jerseys even came with golden tickets to the concert or that Saturday’s match.

Rocky has called the project true to his own design language, and it’s not even his only club collaboration this cycle — a similar drop with AC Milan landed around the same time. At this point, the line between fashion week and matchday has basically disappeared.

Quavo And Lids Are Going All In On Atlanta With Their New Cap Pack

Quavo has never been shy about his hat obsession, and Lids just gave him another outlet for it. Their new “Atlanta” pack drops September 12th, marking another round in a partnership that’s been running strong since 2019.

The collection is a love letter to the city, spread across three very different caps. One mashes up pinstripes, script lettering, and Braves branding into a single design, working navy, red, white, and light blue into the mix. Another goes the opposite direction entirely — fully iced out in crystal detailing, done up in black and red, with both the Falcons and the Braves showing up in the design. The third strips things back to an old-school “ATL” trucker cap in red, white, and gold, the kind of understated piece that lets the city’s name do the talking.

None of this is new territory for Quavo. He’s talked before about waiting on hat releases as a kid, and that same excitement seems to be what’s kept this partnership going years past most celebrity collabs. His earlier Lids run leaned on one moment — the Braves’ 1995 World Series win — but this pack pulls from the city’s whole sports history instead of just one highlight.

Lids has called Quavo one of the rare voices who can blend music, fashion, and sports without it feeling forced, and this drop backs that up. Given how fast his past releases have moved, Atlanta might want to set an alarm for September 12th.
