My 2024 Fashion Predictions
(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.
