Top S/S 2024 Fashion Trends to Kickstart the New Year With Style
Embrace the new year with a fresh start and consider updating your wardrobe. The influence of a single standout outfit or even just one element can be bigger than you think. Luckily, this year’s fashion trends are set to make a statement, and the good news is you likely already own some key spring essentials, such as a well-cut blazer, Mary-Janes, and ballerinas. A simple addition like a pop of red or a crisp white shirt might be all you need for a stylish wardrobe update. Here are the top 8 trends to add to your 2024 shopping wish list.
1 || Short Suiting
If you were a fan of the tailoring trend last season, you will love the spring version of it. Short suits took center stage on the runways of renowned fashion houses like Chanel, Maison Margiela, Givenchy, Coperni, and Staud. This trend blends a powerful yet effortlessly cool aesthetic, making it an ideal choice for your not-too-serious spring business meetings. Get ready to see many of the Bermuda suiting in the upcoming year.
2 || Smell The Roses
For 2024, designers are going beyond floral motifs for something more dramatic. Think extra-large embroidery cut-outs, multidimensional floral breast pieces, knitted rosettes, and actual pink roses stuffed inside sheer garments. When choosing your rose garment, make sure to go for floral fabrics instead of flat patterns.
3 || New Age Of Sheer
It seems that designers cannot get enough of sheer. Transparent elements and details inspired by lingerie went viral in the past few seasons and they don’t seem to go anywhere anytime soon. This year, you will have many new options to choose from like the semi-sheer pencil skirt matched with soft crew-neck sweaters and top-handle bags from Altuzarra to the sheer overlay dresses from Prada. For more coverage, you can double up sheer layers and pair them with a bomber jacket.
4 || Crafty
Imagine pom-pom-adorned net dresses, fringed gowns resembling feathers, and party dresses created by shredding deadstock denim and jerseys with a paint-peel effect. Additionally, envision jackets made by melting old movie posters. These, along with many other playful elements, will bring a cool touch to your spring wardrobe.
5 || On The Fringe
The festive vibes of tassels make a lot of sense in spring. This year, fringes are more interesting than ever. Prada paired fringe- and hardware-embellished belts with coordinated tailored short-shorts and utilitarian wax jackets. Khaite showcased oversized leather jackets paired with flowing maxi-length fringe dresses, creating a dark yet light-hearted mood. In De Sarno’s inaugural show for Gucci, simple white tanks effortlessly transformed silver-and-oxblood fringe midis into a surprisingly casual ensemble.
6 || High-Rise
Introducing the silhouette of the season; the ultra-high-waist trousers featuring a built-in corset to secure them just below the bust. This trend graced runways everywhere, promising to add an extra inch or two to your height for those seeking a taller appearance.
7 || The Knot
Knots aren’t a recent trend; in 2022, we witnessed their presence around our necks, waists, and beyond. This year, knots are integrated into the design. Proenza Schouler showcases halter dresses with built-in tied-up sleeves across the chest, while Bottega Veneta presents chunky, ribbed sweaters featuring sleeves designed to be tied rather than worn.
8 || Polo Club
According to the runways, you can effortlessly pair it with anything from men’s board shorts to ruffled micro-mini skirts, gold brocade shift dresses, or sequin-embellished blouses. The secret to making it feel truly effortless is to mess up your hair a bit.
