Here’s a glimpse into the spring 2024 trends that have captured our attention and earned a coveted spot on our shopping lists.
Embracing Hyper-Elegance
“I’ve noticed a shift towards hyper-elegant fashion for the spring/summer 2024 season, and I’m drawn to polished pieces that exude sophistication. Prada’s satin mules and A-line silhouettes are at the top of my list, along with elegant evening coats and sophisticated bags like the Hermès Plume.” — Kristen Nichols, associate special projects director
Reviving Preppy Staples
“As someone with a casual day-to-day style, I’m excited to incorporate polo shirts into my wardrobe this spring. Seeing them styled with layers at Miu Miu gave the preppy staple a fresh twist, and their presence at Gucci and Loewe confirms their comeback.” — Allyson Payer, senior editor
Embracing Rich Reds
“For me, the standout trend of the season is the resurgence of rich red hues like cherry, oxblood, and merlot. This deeper, more minimalistic take on red feels timeless and versatile, making it a standout choice for spring to fall transitions.” — Jasmine Fox-Suliaman, editor
Celebrating Oversized Bags
“I’ve always been a fan of larger bags, and Prada and Miu Miu’s collections have reaffirmed my love for spacious designs. I appreciate the worn-down aesthetic and practicality of oversized bags, which perfectly accommodate all my essentials.” — Yusra Siddiqui, associate editor
Luxurious Satin Finishes
“Lustrous satin finishes are dominating the season, and I’m eager to incorporate them into my wardrobe. The luxurious fabric elevates even the most basic pieces, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication.” — (Anonymous)
Fishnet Motifs
“I’ve been captivated by fishnet motifs, especially after seeing them on the runways of Proenza Schouler. The sheer trend takes on a new dimension with this playful yet elegant twist, and I’m eyeing a butter-yellow fishnet halter dress as my must-have piece for spring.” — Eliza Huber, editor
Elevated Draping
“I’m drawn to pieces with draping, which offer a sophisticated update to wardrobe staples. Whether it’s a simple white top or an LBD, the addition of draping adds a luxurious touch that’s perfect for the warmer months.” — Sierra Mayhew, associate editor
Long Shorts Trend
“Long shorts have caught my eye, particularly after their prominence on the Copenhagen runways. As someone on the taller side, I appreciate the versatility and flattering silhouette of long denim and trouser shorts, making them ideal for both casual and office wear.” — Erin Fitzpatrick, associate fashion news director
As we eagerly await the arrival of spring, these trends are shaping our shopping lists and inspiring us to embrace the new season with style and confidence. From sophisticated silhouettes to playful motifs, there’s something for every fashion enthusiast to look forward to in the months ahead.
