As the end of the year approaches, it is time to prepare your wardrobe for the new era. With this year showcasing many different trends, you may wonder what the New Year will bring. From structured tailoring to sheer dresses and metallics, to name just a few of the trends we have seen throughout this year, it can be overwhelming to keep up with fashion. But don't worry; we are here to help with our guide to predicted fashion trends for 2024.
Much like the low-waisted jeans and trousers style present throughout this year, next year offers the possibility of keeping this trend alive with a twist. Drop waist dresses bring us the perfect opportunity, especially for those on the shorter side. This trend gives the illusion of lengthening the body. These dresses are perfect for individuals with an hourglass figure or shorter torso. Brands such as Maison Margiela and Prada have featured this fashion element in their S/S24 collections. So be sure to snap up a drop waist dress to stay in style.
We have had ombré hair and nails in the past, so it's only fitting that now is the time for ombré tights. A different approach to classic tights merging two colours together to intertwine old and predictable with new and impressive. These tights scream statement, so if you want to make an impact, we recommend keeping these in mind when refreshing your closet.
Trench coats are always a versatile piece to have at your disposal, so satin trenches are definitely going to be game changers for trench enthusiasts. What's not to love? It's edgy, fashionable, and delicate. Crafted from smooth and satin fabric, these trench coats redefine outerwear with a touch of glamour. The glossy surface of satin enhances the richness of colors, creating a visually stunning effect that catches the light. Another great addition to be aware of!
These oversized wonders redefine the traditional notion of handbags, offering more space for all essentials without compromising aesthetics. The size allows for multipurpose use, making them ideal for daily use and travel. Constructed from various materials, including leather, canvas, and high-tech fabrics, mega bags often boast intricate detailing, from oversized zippers to eye-catching hardware. It could be said that these bags may overtake the popularity of the mini bags currently in fashion from brands such as Jacquemus and Bottega Veneta. Look out for these in early 2024; they will be hard to miss!
Preppy fashion encapsulates a timeless and sophisticated style from the classic American college-goer aesthetic. Characterized by clean lines, tailored silhouettes, and vibrant colors, preppy fashion reflects a polished and put-together look. Think clean girl aesthetic meets private school girl chic for next year's pieces. Wardrobe staples include button-down shirts, polo shirts, pants, tailored trousers, and A-line skirts, often paired with well-coordinated accessories such as boat shoes, loafers, and statement belts. Also important to note sweaters tied casually around the shoulders and cable-knit cardigans are often associated with the preppy style. Is this a look you could get behind?
This trend epitomizes a playful and daring approach to hemlines, as designers experiment with shorter lengths to create a sense of youthful energy and liberation. Whether seen in flirty skirts, shorts, or dresses, mini hems make a statement that embraces the spirit of confidence and self-expression. The 2024 mini hem trend encourages fashion lovers to showcase their individuality, breaking away from conventional norms. Are you daring enough to wear a mini hem?
The upcoming year will see a departure from the usual, introducing unexpected textures, bold patterns, and innovative silhouettes into business casual. Tailored jumpsuits, wide-leg trousers, and asymmetrical blouses become staples, challenging tradition with a contemporary twist. The color palette expands beyond the typical neutrals, incorporating muted pastels and earthy tones to infuse a refreshing energy into the work wardrobe. Accessories play a crucial role, with statement earrings, unique belts, and attention-grabbing footwear elevating the overall look. Prepare to see this style all over the runway.
The emphasis is on mixing and matching unexpected textures, patterns, and silhouettes to create visually captivating ensembles. Using diverse fabrics, such as leather, faux fur, and denim, adds depth and interest to outfits. Monochromatic layering, featuring different shades of the same color, is a notable styling choice, creating a sophisticated look. Additionally, the trend encourages experimenting with asymmetry, incorporating pieces of varying lengths for a contemporary and fashion-forward aesthetic. We are here for this craze.
The fringing trend has undergone a futuristic transformation, captivating fashionistas with its dynamic and avant-garde feel. Fringes, once associated with bohemian aesthetics, have evolved into a bold and futuristic statement. Garments featuring innovative laser-cut fringes, metallic threads, and fiber optics create a sense of movement and intrigue. Whether featuring on hemlines, sleeves, or unexpected placements on garments, fringes in 2024 serve as a form of wearable art, blended with craftsmanship. We can't wait to see how this look is styled!
Recognizing the diverse needs of individuals who desire comfort and practicality over pain and height, shoe designers have elevated the aesthetic of supportive shoes which brings us to our next trend. After the coronavirus pandemic, footwear has changed; uncomfortable shoes are out of fashion, and convience is in. This trend signifies a turning page from the notion that supportive footwear must sacrifice style, offering a range of options that prioritize foot health without compromising on the ever-evolving trends in fashion.
