#mixed patterns

Multiple patterns... one mood. Keeping everything in the same spirit is the secret of a successful mix. Heading on rod-pocket curtains is separated and fluffed out for a pronounced three-dimensional effect. Design: Martha Baum and Sharon Marston.

(In no specific order)

1. Casual Armor

Wearing armor or armor-inspired pieces with everyday outfits.

2. Pinstripe

Not just in pants, but also skirts, jackets, tops, and shoes.

3. Bright Shoes

Likely paired with an outfit that just barely matched, if at all.

4. Capelets/ Ponchos

With a re-emerging inspiration from gothic and Victorian style clothing, these will bring silhouettes that are very reminiscent of these elegant references.

5. Neck Bows

This isn’t too revolutionary, I just think that it’s a logical evolution of the trends we’ve seen in 2023.

6. Statement Necklaces

As opposed to layered necklaces, I think we will see more people being drawn to large, chunky, and possibly childish neckwear.

7. Mixed Patterns

Fabrics that don’t seem to match at first or purposefully wearing clashing patterns.

8. Chrome

I also think this is just a natural evolution of trends, but it goes along well with the popular focus on retro styles of the past.

9. Slashes

As opposed to circular-shaped holes and rips in clothing, I believe more strategic, linear slashes in clothing will gain popularity.

10. Focus on Fabrics

With an increasing awareness about polyester, as well as long-lasting clothing items, people will likely focus more on the quality of fabrics they choose to wear.

11. Cheetah Print

Will likely be a staple in 2010s-inspired aesthetics, which will come in strong.

12. Big Hats

Dramatic, statement hats will add more layers and visual interest to outfits of any occasion.
