It’s that time of the year when everyone is scouring their social media and Pinterest to see what the next big trends are going to be. Trends obviously come and go and sometimes they go as quickly as only being in style for a month. It can be hard to keep up with it, right? Well, here’s some predicted fashion trends of this year! Always keep in mind that you do not have to follow trends; make your own style and dress however you want!
- Floral prints for spring
Floral prints are going to remain trendy in the spring! Although, there is going to be a new trend emerging in the realm of floral prints. 2024 is going to be heavy on roses. Whether that be a rose print, rosettes sew onto clothes, or even as bold as 3D roses, they’re all in and trendy this year!
- Leopard/cheetah print
Leopard and cheetah prints are going to take over in 2024. We’re going to be seeing them on everything. Tights, shirts, pants, shoes, accessories, and more. There’s going to be an emphasis on leopard/cheetah printed fur coats. Maybe that style inspiration comes from Ken’s iconic fur coat in Barbie, but whatever the reason, they’re going to be in this year!
- Cut-outs
We saw a trend of cut-outs in 2023, but the cut-outs for 2024 are going in a different direction. Fashion is going to move away from the circular cut-outs and gravitate toward angular ones that are heavy on silhouettes.
- Pop of color
Pops of color are going to be huge in 2024! We’re going to see a lot of red, specifically bright red and deep maroon. Red itself is going to be trendy, but especially as a pop of color, along with cobalt blue. This trend is going to be a staple in shoes, bags, glasses, tights, and other accessories.
- Bows
The coquette style was trendy in 2023 and is still in now, but 2024 will emphasize the bows from coquette. They’ll be seen as a hair accessory, on jewelry (especially earrings), clothes, bags, and shoes.
- Slim-fit pants
2023 was the year of baggy, wide leg jeans. Now, that isn’t going to evaporate from the fashion world in 2024, but there is going to be a bigger trend of slim-fit pants. That doesn’t necessarily mean skinny jeans, but more so fitted, tailored pants. Perhaps, we’ll even see a mix of low-rise in there too.
- Fun/patterned tights
Tights are going to be a big accessory in 2024. Embellished, patterned, and overall fun-looking tights are going to be the craze. Obviously bows on tights are going to be big too. We’ll see tights styled under skirts, dresses, and even jorts.
- “Old money” aesthetic
This aesthetic was already trendy in 2023, but we’ll see a bigger style emphasis in men’s fashion with this aesthetic. That doesn’t mean women can’t wear it because we’d love to see it on everyone! It’ll be heavy on trousers, Oxford loafers, and polos.
- “Grandpa core”
Once again, this style is heavy in the men’s fashion realm, but we will definitely be seeing it in women’s fashion as well! This style is heavily influenced by Tyler the Creator, and it encompasses comfort, cool details, cardigans, mohair sweaters, trousers/wide-leg jeans, sweater vests, loafers, and “dad sneakers.”
- Sheer/lace clothes
We already know that tights are going to be in this year, but we’ll also see a lot of sheer and lace clothes. They’ll be present in shirts, dresses, and layers, and there will be a lot of layering clothes over a sheer or lace base.
