The main trends of Fashion Weeks spring-summer 2024: midi skirts, transparent products and floral prints

Today comes the end of the fashion marathon that lasted almost a month. During this time we managed to watch more than a hundred shows, go on a digital journey through the main capitals of fashion and cope with the difficult task of telling about the most important things without missing anything. Now it’s time to analyze the catwalk looks and determine the trends of the next spring-summer season.

In the latest collections of leading designers, one can see the return of the style of the 1990s (by the way, our experts talked about this trend a year ago), sensational aesthetics coded in Old money and the symbiosis of femininity and masculinity. Creative directors of fashion brands also hint that we cannot do without orange, midi skirts and large bags in 2024.

But we propose to consider all the trends of the coming year in order. We’ve rounded up the highlights from Fashion Weeks in New York, London, Milan and Paris.

midi skirt

If two years ago the fashion world was captured by miniskirts, and last season maxi length dominated, then next spring midi models will definitely be at the top of the trends catwalk. Images from the fashion shows of Tom Ford, Prada, Gucci and Fendi also point to this. The stylist shop also advises us not to be afraid to go overboard with office aesthetics, because this is another big trend of recent seasons. By the way, we recommend that you do not wait for next spring and wear midi immediately. Style them with jeans like in the Gucci show or a jacket like in the Bally show.

springs

Bows definitely win the “Most romantic trend of the season” category. It’s the same when it’s not clear who’s asking: designers or street style heroes? However, neatly knotted satin ribbons are now everywhere. And the podium is no exception. For example, we saw a dramatic black bow on a dress at the Balenciaga show, it appeared on the lapel of a deconstructed tuxedo at the Dolce & Gabbana show, and the accent detail became part of a beige trench coat at the Simone Rocha show.

transparent things

And we’re back to the open sexuality trend we’ve been talking about since last winter. 2024 Spring-Summer fashion shows once again proved that it is too early to say goodbye to transparent things. On the contrary, they are worth noting for stylish looks and special occasions. We recommend using runway looks from Prada, Sportmax and Blumarine as inspiration.

floral pattern

“Floral print for spring? How innovative!” – Miranda Priestly’s legendary quote from the movie The Devil Wears Prada. But the design workshop suggests putting aside sarcasm and paying attention to the variety of “bookers” they have prepared for us. Meanwhile, in addition to prints, appliqués and voluminous details are also trending. If in doubt, check out her looks at the fashion shows of Burberry, David Koma, Erdem and Matty Bovan.

Orange

In 2021, the main color of spring was rich green, in 2022 it was replaced by pink, this autumn the list of trendy shades was announced with red. In the 2024 spring-summer season, the fashion community will be crazy about orange. This is predicted by the creative directors of JW Anderson, KMWLS, David Koma, Mark Fast and Mowalola, who showcased bright coats, dresses, jackets, T-shirts and trousers on the catwalk. By the way, if you don’t know what to wear with this sunny color, we recommend you to consult our material containing 50 combinations that will never go out of fashion.

sky blue

Yes, you won’t be able to limit yourself to just orange. Its main rival in the 2024 spring-summer season is sky blue. Fendi, Tom Ford, Bally, Bottega Veneta as well as Ermanno Scervino, Ferragamo and GCDS now rely on this delicate shade. By the way, in fairness it is worth noting that sky blue has been in trend for several seasons. We wrote this in 2021 and 2022.

1990s aesthetic

At the end of last year, analytics platform Tagwalk announced the return of 90s style to the fashion arena. And next season the trend will definitely reach its peak. 16Looking at the collections of Arlington, Burberry, Molly Godard and Tove, next spring we will be wearing simple strapless dresses, satin skirts, barely visible button-down tops and tailored suits. As inspiration we will use images of Jennifer Aniston, Sarah Jessica Parker and of course Carolyn Bisset-Kennedy.

XL bags

But this trend will definitely appeal to Jane Birkin. The truth is that the style icon walked around with a wicker basket for a long time because she could not find a truly roomy bag. Everything changed in the early 1980s, when Jane was on a plane with Hermès CEO Jean-Louis Dumas and complained to him about uncomfortable bags that couldn’t fit anything. A month later, the brand team invited Birkin to the Hermès office, where she was asked to choose the outline and details of her bag.

But let’s come to the 2024 spring-summer season… Designers seem to be bored with micro bags, so they invite us to pay attention to XL size accessories. Fashionable options appeared in the collections of Bottega Veneta, Bally, Ami, Loewe, Brandon Maxwell and Coach.

feathers

Feathers are definitely the most stylish trend of recent seasons. Airy details appear from time to time on the sleeves of jackets and blouses, on the skirts of skirts and dresses, and even on the collars of turtlenecks and bodysuits. But this fashion month, designers have outdone themselves. For example, 16 Arlington creative director Marco Capaldo hid feathers under clear latex, and designer Jonathan Anderson adorned a voluminous bomber jacket with them.

drapery

We agree that draped dresses, tops and skirts are not that easy to wear in daily life. However, we recommend that you take this trend into consideration for special occasions. You can focus on the images from the fashion shows of Di Petsa (the Greek Dimitra Petsa made “wet” dresses with drapery fabrics, the main feature of her brand), JW Anderson, Staud, KNWLS, Dion Lee and many other brands.

eaves

Stylish trends don’t end with curtain fabrics. Another important place in the trend list was fringe for the second year. Design teams including Alberta Ferretti, Bottega Veneta (Mathieu Blasi often relies on this accent detail), Diesel, Ferragamo, Genny and Jil Sander love it. We’ve just started listing Milan Fashion Week attendees.
