What’s In For 2024?
The year has barely started, but fashion never rests. Some trends have been dormant for a while, some were just born. Here’s what we think will be all the rage in 2024.
The Frazzled English Woman Look
Bridget Jones, 2001
Who doesn’t want to look like the main character in a 2000s rom-com? Smudged eyeliner, skinny scarves, mid-length pencil skirts, tights with a tiny rip by your left ankle, and a to-go cup of cold coffee in hand. The frazzled English woman goes beyond a look; it is more like a vibe, the grown-up pixie manic dream girl who stopped talking in movie references and started liking red wine. This trend involves a lot of knitwear, an office job, and witty humor. Some say recession fashion, others say the charm of early Y2K characters.
Bows Part 2
Bows are in, which was established in fall 2023 and solidified by Christmas trees covered in pink satin bows. Now it is time to take it up a notch. In 2024, bows will go beyond cute hair accessories, and become the statement itself.

Tulle
With bows already at center stage, tulle is only the logical next step. With its dreamy and romantic quality, tulle adds a touch of fairy-tale magic to any ensemble. From dresses to skirts and even headwear, incorporating tulle into your outfit takes it from basic to Olivia Hussey in the 1968 version of Romeo and Juliet. The girliness that 2023 brought into play is about to be taken to the next level.
Sheer Layering
Whether it's blouses or dresses, sheer layering adds a contemporary and subtly daring touch to your outfit. The transparency of sheer fabrics allows for a delicate play of textures, creating an intriguing visual appeal. 2024 is all about a whimsical everyday look.
Giant Bags
Tote bags had their spotlight, and so did little baguette bags, now it is time to redefine the concept of functional fashion. Giant bags, featuring bold designs and eye-catching embellishments, take center stage in 2024. These roomy accessories offer a perfect canvas for personal expression. Meant to be covered in little trinkets, keychains, pearl necklaces, and whatever floats your boat. Call it the Jane Birkin effect, if you will.

Kitten Heels
Timeless elegance is back, though it was never really gone. The perfect example: kitten heels. These dainty and comfortable shoes offer a perfect blend of femininity and sophistication. Kitten heels, with their understated charm, make for a versatile and stylish choice for any occasion. Quiet luxury with a hint of charm, say goodbye to your stilettos and hello to cutesy 2-inch heels.
