With 2024 just a few weeks away, we’re already thinking about all the fresh new styles and fashion trends that will be dominating in the new year. On the S/S 24 runways, designers continued to lean into minimalist and wearable staples, including plenty of trench coats, pencil skirts, relaxed suiting, mini hems, and a good dose of ’90s nostalgia—giving new life to classics through unexpected pairings, dramatic proportions, and fresh styling.
Today, we wanted to hone in on some of the more unexpected and divisive styles that emerged from the runways, that, at first glance, might ignite a visceral reaction (think ’50s capri pants, country club polo tops, and fancy fringe), but just might be the breath of fresh air your 2024 wardrobe is looking for! Whether you love them or hate them, there’s no doubt these pieces will be on fashion people everywhere come spring, so take a peek if you want to get ahead of the fashion curve.
