The women’s Spring/Summer 2024 fashion weeks have wrapped up, showcasing the top trends for next season. While many designers played it safe with timeless, versatile pieces, some exciting new styles also emerged. Here are 10 key trends to look out for from the SS 2024 runway shows:
1. Tailored Suiting
Chic, refined tailoring took center stage, with elegant suits, jackets and high-waisted trousers in impalpable wools and cottons. The silhouette is looser and more comfortable than in the past.
2. The White Shirt
A versatile white shirt is essential for SS 2024. Designers modernized this staple with new details like gathered collars, puff sleeves and asymmetrical shapes.
3. Oversized Shoulders
Exaggerated, square shoulders lend a bold, masculine edge. Oversized jackets and coats with a strong silhouette paradoxically feminize the look when cinched at the waist.
4. Sheer Fabrics
From lace and tulle to mesh and organza, transparency is key. Light, airy fabrics reveal the body in delicate layers or edgy cut-outs.
5. One-Shoulder Styling
Asymmetry rules, with one-shoulder tops, dresses and tuxedo jackets. Cold shoulders maximize the intrigue.
6. Plastic
Shiny plastic and latex make a comeback in raincoats, bustiers and upcycled looks. The futuristic materials add urban edge.
7. Micro Mini Shorts
Barely-there shorts provide a leggy, sultry summer option. From breezy silk to sporty denim, the leg-baring cut suits any occasion.
8. Draping
Couturiers sculpt the body with swirling, criss-crossed fabrics. Strategic draping creates dimension and curves.
9. Floral Motifs
The rose takes center stage on prints, embroidery and 3D appliqués for a romantic vibe.
10. Vibrant Red
Fiery reds ignite runways and street style. Bold splashes of crimson electrify more muted palettes.
