Fashion month is an important time in the year for style-seekers, as it can often set the pace for the season ahead and disperse inspiration to the masses. If you missed spring 2024 Fashion Week in New York, Milan, Paris, and London or would like a refresher, here are the top spring 2024 trends to look out for. Let’s dive into the looks and fads that dominated the runway this season.

You may also notice these trends popping up on the streets and social media. It’s worth noting that this fashion month showcased an inclusive collection of body types and clothing styles that are looser and open to styling in a range of ways, so with that in mind, let’s get to the trends.  

Spring 2024 Trends 

Sheers & Lace

Transparent attire was a staple on both the runways and in the audience this fashion month, with everything from neutrals and monochromatic sheers to bold and vibrant lace and other intricate pattern work making an appearance. 

For those of you wanting to ‘wear the look’ at home, we strongly encourage you to invest in some red lingerie for your intimates drawer. That way, you can pair your vibrant sheer or lace base with the season’s other oversized or more streetwear-inspired trends for a sexy, feminine touch paired with masculine utility. But more on that below!

Y2K Fashion

No, you aren’t imagining it. The early 00s are back, with Y2K in full force at fashion month. This is an easily recognizable aesthetic, with low-riding pants, midriffs, long boots, oversized sunglasses, small baguette or crescent bags, and those all-too-familiar casual jeans taking over your wardrobe.

This fashion trend really proves that fashion is cyclical, as what we have seen on the runway could be taken straight from the late 90s TV shows we watched, with some styles that looked like Friends’ Rachel Green could wear.

This is a great trend to integrate into your own wardrobe, as it’s all about those understated looks. In fact, fashionistas could even find these styles at a local vintage store and have great success as the breadth of this Y2K revival includes lots of styles to try.

Neon Vibes

Neon vibes are making a comeback, and their bold colors are so vibrant they seem visible from space. These neon trends extend beyond clothing to outerwear and accessories, marking a vivid departure from the usual monochromatic styles of the fall season.

When paired with Y2K fashion, it evokes a nostalgic blast from the past with a striking impact. While neon might seem excessive, that’s precisely the essence of this style trend. Imagine a neon ensemble complemented by hair clips, chunky shoes, and makeup.

The recent Barbie movie release has further amplified this trend, especially our favorite shades of pink, from fuschia to hot pink.

Big Shoulders & Oversized Suits

The drama of a piece of clothing with big shoulders is always fun to see on the catwalk and even better to implement in our wardrobes. This fashion can look best when the wearer is wearing something figure-hugging, with a more oversized jacket or blazer worn over the top – and hopefully with some broader shoulders or even some shoulder pads. 

If you have a more oversized jacket that has been sitting in your wardrobe gathering dust, it’s time to whip it out and reintroduce it to the world. Another advantage of this fashion look is that it can be incorporated into your daywear and also your evening wear – it’s both casual and formal!

Athleisure

It’s no secret that athleisure isn’t a new fashion trend, but it is back and stronger than ever when it comes to spring 2024 trends. Sweatpants and baseball hats were once a faux pas, but that has changed in recent years.

Labels like Louis Vuitton, Fendi, and Gucci have also released some chic and understated athleisure. It might seem counter-productive to invest in high-end athleisure, but the blend of comfort, durability, and style justifies the premium price for many. Almost every fashion label has launched its own spin on this massive trend.

Low-rise & Flares

Move over high-waist because low-rise and denim flares are back and rocked on the catwalk and the streets alike. Low-rise is not only about jeans, but we also see big and baggy trousers worn low-rise.

If these low-rise trousers are paired with a larger-fit jacket or blazer, you will look very on-trend. You can further exaggerate the low-rise appearance with a slim or chunky belt. This is especially effective with pale blue jeans, a black belt, and a silver buckle.

As for denim flares, these groovy callbacks to the age of disco were spotted across crowds of celebrities attending fashion week shows this season, including Emily Ratajkowski.

2024 Forecast

As we wrap up our overview of the most influential styles from the recent fashion month, it’s clear that the spring 2024 trends blend nostalgia and innovation. 

From the vibrant resurgence of neon and the unmistakable Y2K aesthetic to the timeless elegance of oversized suits and the comfort of athleisure, this season promises a diverse array of choices for every fashion enthusiast. 

Whether you’re looking to make a bold statement or refresh your wardrobe, these trends offer a plethora of options. As always, fashion is a reflection of the times, and this season’s trends encapsulate a world that’s both looking back and forging ahead. 

Embrace the new while cherishing the old, and step into spring 2024 with confidence and style.
