As we bid farewell to lumpy puffers and salt-caked boots, it’s time to welcome the exciting new trends of spring 2024 fashion. After months of gray skies and howling winds, the fashion world is abuzz with fresh inspiration from the runways. Last year’s trends embraced nostalgia, reviving early-2010s fashion and ’90s-style minimalism. Now, we predict a continuation of this trend with a playful twist, featuring sultry lace, sky-blue hues, and more. Read on for our picks of top Spring trends 2024.

The White Dress

In a departure from the vibrant hues of the past, the spring/summer 2024 runways witnessed a surge of colorless dresses. Designers opted for the simplicity and elegance of white, bidding farewell to fragrant florals and the once-ubiquitous “pop of red.” This shift towards monochromatic elegance dominated both daytime and evening wear, offering a fresh perspective on timeless sophistication. It is safe to say that the IT dress for spring is in fact not floral.

Leather Jacket

Leather jackets are timeless pieces that can effortlessly complement any outfit. Their versatility makes them a go-to choice for both casual and formal occasions. Unlike trendy pieces that come and go, leather jackets have stood the test of time, proving to be enduring wardrobe staples that never go out of style. For spring 2024, the traditional moto jacket style, characterized by pockets, off-center zippers, belts, and embellishments, is making way for a more minimalist aesthetic inspired by the ’90s and early 2000s. The new leather jacket trend embraces a classic boxy silhouette, simple collar, and clean lines, offering a fresh take on this beloved outerwear piece.

Lacey Business

Lace has long been associated with elegance, femininity, and sophistication. Its delicate and intricate patterns evoke a sense of romance and allure, making it a favorite choice for both casual and formal attire. For spring 2024, designers brought lace in expected and unexpected ways: a full lace lavender dress at Carolina Herrera, to dainty lace motifs at Chloé. Designers are embracing this versatility by incorporating lace into a wide range of garments, from blouses and skirts to jumpsuits and outerwear. This adaptability ensures that lace can seamlessly transition from day to night, making it a versatile choice for any occasion.

Light Blue

It’s no secret that pastels are the go-to palette for spring, but the breakout hue of the spring 2024 trend season is undoubtedly light blue. The color was everywhere on the global runways: From the stunning, sheers dresses at Prada, to cool sky blue coats and blazers at Fendi, and incredible light blue motifs at Proenza Schouler, the color is the new red for spring 2024.

Light as a Feather

Whether adorning dresses, skirts, or accessories, feather embellishments add texture and movement to garments, creating a sense of fluidity and dynamism. From subtle accents to extravagant plumes, feathers are making a bold statement on the runway and in everyday attire. Our favorite feather-adorned pieces come from Jacquemus, Loewe, and Richard Quinn who adopted the trend as in subtle but memorable ways.

Woven Bags

Designers across the board have put their unique spin on the traditional woven bag, infusing it with unexpected details and innovative designs. Maison Margiela showcased bags adorned with paint splatters, carried in transparent plastic bags for a contemporary twist. JW Anderson introduced leather “bumper” trims, adding a playful juxtaposition to the classic silhouette. Sacai took inspiration from rattan baskets, transforming them into stylish bracelet pouches, redefining the concept of wearable art. Bottega and Valentino stuck to woven shapes with a big punch.

Belt It Low

The quintessential low-slung belt of the early aughts is characterized by its width, often as broad as a mini-skirt. Worn low on the hips, it pairs effortlessly with tunics or simple jeans, creating a laid-back yet stylish ensemble. This bold accessory choice adds an edgy touch to any outfit, serving as a focal point of the overall look. And it’s back in full force for Spring 2024. From Khaite, Miu Miu, and Louis Vuitton belts are one of the most prominent spring 2024 trends.

The Flip-Flop Sandal

What sets this season’s flip-flop trend apart is its versatility. From flat versions in camp-ready colors showcased by Miu Miu to minimalist beige designs by Michael Kors and Chanel, there’s a style to suit every taste and occasion. Proenza Schouler and Coperni offer sophisticated slingbacks, adding a touch of elegance to the casual footwear. Even Burberry’s Daniel Lee embraces the trend with opulent lizard print variations, proving that flip flops can be both stylish and luxurious.
