The spring 2024 fashion trends you absolutely need to know about right now. As spring rolls in we start to think about how we can give ourselves a fashion boost, and as a time of new beginnings and fresh starts there is an emphasis on bright colours and bold looks.
There is no need to overhaul your entire wardrobe, just add a few key pieces to put a spring to your step.
Red Alert!
Be gone with those saccharine Barbie pinks of 2023 and enter bright, beautiful reds!
Depending on how brave you are feeling there is the option of donning it head to toe, however if the fire hydrant look is not to your liking, opt instead for bold flashes of colour such as crimson heels or a cherry satchel.
Red pairs well with rich cocoa or dreamy cream tones for a more subtle, understated look.
Sergeant Major
Those fond of the military look will be thrilled with this latest iteration which features loose, slouchy boiler suits, army jackets with square-shoulder pads and long khaki skirts in soft, sumptuous denim.
Cargo trousers are firmly back in fashion, but the style is less Shaznay from the band All Saints and a lot more sophisticated with wide legs and pressed pockets.
In other words, it’s utilitarian in the proper sense of the word with mustard yellows, inky blues and lush, uniform greens. Yes, sir!
Super Essentials
Did the capsule wardrobe ever really go out of fashion? Regardless, there is an emphasis on key pieces this spring/summer and their presence in your closet will make your day-to-day dressing considerably easier.
Think of a superbly fitting blazer, the crispest of white shirts, tremendously tailored trousers and most essentially, a luxurious leather belt to pull it all together. This is your wardrobe, but not as you know it.
Pastel Perfection 2024 Fashion Trend
As the flowers bloom and the fields become verdant and lush, it is fitting we pop a little pastel into our sartorial armoury.
Pastels don’t need to be super girly, and they can brighten up one’s more sensible staples without becoming kitsch. A lilac cashmere sweater, lemon jacket or a powdery blue blouse feel elegant without being unbearably girly.
Pastel colours also make an appearance in an unexpected hue with running shoes and trainers awash with neon greens, pinks and blues. Not only do these sunshine sneakers look fabulous, but they also help you run a little faster too (probably).
Slingbacks Are Back In Spring 2024 Fashion Trends
Wedges have been the go-to footwear in warmer months for what feels like forever, but this spring sees the return of the slingback.
Jimmy Choo’s ‘Amita’ shoes are adorned with unfurling flowers, toes are pointed, and all is effortlessly elegant.
Supremely ladylike, sophisticated, and comparatively easy on your tootsies – bless you, kitten heels! – this is the season to let your inner Audrey Hepburn shine – at least from the ankle down.
Girls Who (Look) Like Boys
The mini skirt is going to be massive this year, but blessedly, it is best paired with something a little more masculine.
An oversized shirt for example, or your boyfriend’s fisherman jumper. Fabrics ought to have a little heft to them and when worn with tights this is the perfect look for those chilly spring days when you want to jump into spring but not turn blue from the cold.
