Although it's only been the first two weeks of 2024, the fashion world is already as busy as ever. After last year's academia craze and balletcore obsession, our fashion senses are already tingling with anticipation for what's to come this year. We can already foresee a wide variety of style trends emerge as early as now, from elevated closet staples and pointy kitten heels to metallic arm candies and preppy specs.
Curious to learn more about the hottest upcoming trends? We break them down ahead to help you refresh your wardrobe for the new year.
LIST: The Biggest Fashion Trends to Come in 2024
1. 2010s Revival
While the past three years were all about the early aughts, the fashion scene is moving on to the 2010s this year. Prepare to revisit the sleek and minimalist aesthetics of the 2010s, but with a touch of '90s grunge. Think elevated basics in black and gray hues, as well as clean lines, structured silhouettes, and a seamless fusion of casual and professional pieces.
2. Kitten Heels
Although ballet flats and Mary Janes were in during 2023, tiny heels will steal the spotlight this year. Kitten heels have already been popping up on the runways of major fashion houses like Roger Vivier and Prada, and everyone can't get enough of Miu Miu's pointy kitten heels in particular.
3. Bayonetta Glasses
You've probably already seen those viral photos of Gabriette and Bella Hadid wearing eyeglasses on social media. The cool eyewear they're particularly sporting are called Bayonetta glasses, small specs that typically come in oval or squoval frames. Expect to see more of these glasses make waves on the internet!
4. Anything Red
Now that fashion influencers have been fixated on red shoes, get ready to witness a craze for red. Expect outfits showcasing cherry-hued handbags, deep burgundy nail polish, bold red tights, and more!
5. Academia Fashion
Academia dressers, rejoice: Your favorite aesthetic won't be going anywhere anytime soon. In fact, you can rest assured that preppy fashion will be even more popular this year thanks to the recent showcases of Miu Miu, Loewe, and Bally. There's never been a better time than now to stock up on cardigans, pleated skirts, and Mary Janes!
6. Hyperfemininity
Hyperfemine styles have been big these past two years, with looks like Barbiecore and coquette making rounds online. Prepare to embrace girlhood even more in 2024 as bows, lace, and frills continue to dominate the sartorial landscape!
7. Metallics
Quiet luxury seems to be going strong this year, but that won't stop cool girls from rocking sequins and metallics. After all, we've already seen big fashion houses like Bottega Veneta, Balenciaga, and Prada release bedazzled and chrome variants of their cult-fave bag designs. That means 2024 will be filled with all kinds of glitz and glam!
8. Oversized Bags
It's time to swap out that tiny bag for an oversized carry-all this 2024. We're talking supersized silhouettes that can practically fit your whole life without looking bulky or digging into your shoulders. Our tip: Take style cues from the runway shows of Bottega Veneta and Khaite if you're not sure how to wear a huge arm candy!
