Discover the Fall/Winter 2024 trends are about to take over your closet.
WILD THINGS
Animal prints—especially leopard spots—have dominated 2024 and will continue to do so well into the new season. We will also see snake and zebra prints creeping onto the sartorial scene as designers like Jacquemus, Sonia Rykiel, Isabel Marant, and Marine Serre, among others, embrace these patterns. With animal prints being one of the biggest trends of the year, they will spread across categories. One of the key items for the season, however, is leopard-printed jeans. While we’re on the topic, it’s worth mentioning that we even spotted animal motifs—including puppies, ducks, horses, and more—on the Fall/Winter 2024 runways at Loewe, Coach, Louis Vuitton, and others.
BOHO CHIC
We are calling it: boho chic is about to be the defining trend of Fall/Winter 2024. Thanks to Chemena Kamali‘s debut collection for Chloé, the carefree bohemian vibe has already crept into celebrity wardrobes. Famous fangirls include Sydney Sweeney, Daisy Edgar Jones, and Suki Waterhouse, among others. Fall/Winter 2024 wardrobes will be dominated by dreamy silhouettes, fringes, lace, ruffles, and suede, creating a free-spirited look.
SOFT SUEDE
If there’s one thing you absolutely need in your wardrobe this season, it’s suede ––a chic suede jacket, to be particular. Soft, supple suede jackets in shades of brown and beige are the key items for Fall/Winter 2024. But not just any suede jacket will do–if you want to earn those sartorial brownie points, opt for suede jackets adorned with studs and fringes. These pieces are all about adding texture and a touch of rugged elegance to your wardrobe. Addtionally, suede boots and bags will rule the accessory department.
BIG BROWN BAG
If you invest in one handbag this season, make sure it’s big, brown and slouchy – bonus points if you opt for a suede, fringed, or studded one. Paired with suede boots, belts, and jackets, you’re looking at the ultimate go-to look for the season. The Fall/Winter 2024 runways were rife with models squishing floppy brown handbags. From Chloé, Bottega Veneta, to Fendi, tan handbags were the runway norm of the season, earning them the status of one of the biggest Fall/Winter 2024 trends. That’s not all; recently, Bella Hadid has already given the trend her seal of approval as she stepped out flaunting the Coach ‘Brooklynn 39’ handbag in suede tan and black. Additionally, Manu Atelier‘s ‘Le Cambon 35’ bag in deep brown suede has quickly become an “It” girl favorite.
CHERRY GIRLS
Burgundy is back for another round, and it’s just as juicy as ever. The deep, rich shade that dominated last fall isn’t going anywhere. In fact, it will be one of the major Fall/Winter 2024 trends. Whether it’s a statement coat, a cozy knit, or a chic pair of boots, burgundy is your go-to color to add a bit of drama to your fall wardrobe. The best part? It’s universally flattering and effortlessly chic. From deep red dresses to luscious berry accessories, this color is perfect for those who want to make a statement without shouting.
SAY IT ON A TEE
Remember Hailey Bieber‘s “Nepo Baby” T-shirt? Or better yet, Victoria Beckham‘s “My Dad Had a Rolce-Royce” T-shirt? Those playful and (somewhat) orchestrated viral fashion moments have now snowballed into a full-fledged trend, bringing cheeky slogan-stamped T-shirts back into our wardrobes. While we have already seen the trend pick up during the summer, it will only grow come fall. Whether you want to make a statement, share a bit of humor, or simply voice your mood, a slogan tee is the way to do it. Pair them with anything from jeans to skirts, layer them under blazers, or tuck them into high-waisted trousers—this trend is as versatile as it is expressive.
TWIRL-WORTHY
Bubble skirts and dresses have shaped up (pun intended) to be one of the defining trend of 2024. The exaggerated silhouette isn’t going anywhere come fall, if anything expect even more dramatic dresses and skirts as the festive season rolls around. Swollen skirt and dress hems and even peplum tops flooded the Fall/Winter 2024 runways at the likes of David Koma, Marc Jacobs, Jacquemus, Louis Vuitton, and more. Think massive flares, flowy fabrics, and lots of movement.
OLIVE HUES
One of the major Fall/Winter 2024 trends, olive is the new neutral of the season. This earthy tone is versatile, sophisticated, and works with just about anything in your wardrobe. From outerwear to accessories, olive hues are dominating the season. Whether you choose to go head-to-toe or just add a pop of color, this shade is perfect for adding a touch of nature-inspired elegance to your look.
GRACEFUL GLAM
After dominating the runways and our wardrobes for well over two years now, the Gen-Z-loved Y2K trends are finally showing signs of slowing down. The ressurgence of ultra-sophisticated, hyper-feminine silhouettes on the Fall/Winter 2024 runways brings assurance that the future of fashion is leaning toward an elegant aesthetic. From floor-length gowns to intricately detailed blouses, this trend is all about embracing opulence with a soft touch.
VINTAGE WALLPAPER
Step back in time with floral prints that evoke the charm of vintage wallpapers. These nostalgic patterns are making a comeback, offering a romantic and whimsical touch to your fall wardrobe. From Loewe, Carolina Herrera to Giambattista Valli, artistic floral prints took over the Fall/Winter 2024 runways.
LIQUID LEATHER
We know what you’re thinking: leather is a wardrobe staple during the cooler months. But this time around, designers eschewed thick, stubborn leather for thin, malleable leather crafted into exquisite draped and ruched numbers. Sleek, fluid leather pieces that move with an almost liquid quality were spotted in abundance on the Fall/Winter 2024 runways at the likes of Alexander McQueen, Stella McCartney, Courrèges, Khaite, and more. Perfect for adding a modern edge to your look, liquid leather pieces are a bold choice for those who want to stand out from the crowd.
FLAUNT THE FRINGE
One of the more significant Fall/Winter 2024 trends, fringe is back and better than ever, adding movement and texture to everything from jackets to skirts. This trend is all about making a statement with every step you take. Whether you opt for a subtle fringe detail or go full-on with a fringed jacket or dress, this is the season to let loose and flaunt those fringes with flair.
