The main fashion trends of spring 2024: high-waisted trousers, polos and very short shorts

The new season will begin very soon, which means it’s time to update your wardrobe and study the next batch of trends. This spring, designers continue to invite us to pay attention to tassels, metallic, transparent fabrics and drapery fabrics. They also recommend paying attention to leather jackets, dresses in the spirit of the 1990s and items with many pockets.

However, we have also seen all these in the past collections of the brands. So what’s new on the catwalks in New York, London, Milan and Paris?

Today’s 2024 Spring trends guide has brought together the pieces that will return to our lives as the weather gets warmer. Moreover, they can be worn safely not only at events with a dress code, but also in daily life. The Fashion Vibes’s fashion department talks about spring’s eight key trends.

High waist pants and skirts

Anyone who doesn’t like low-slung design can rejoice. Because designers led by Jonathan Anderson are bringing high-waisted trousers back into fashion. The starting point of the trend was the excessively fitted jeans in the Loewe spring-summer 2024 collection, which was discussed by everyone last autumn. You shouldn’t radically change the style of jeans and skirts, but it’s still time to take a closer look at pieces that emphasize the waist.

work jackets

Utility and workwear are the two main trends this year. Although fashion likes to flirt with unwearability, practicality still comes to the fore. At least for now. This is evident from the number of business jackets in the brand’s collections. Our favorites hit the catwalks at Prada, Louis Vuitton and Fendi. Meanwhile, the heroes of street style have already caught on to this trend and started the “hunt” for classic Carhartt WIP jackets.

Polo

Turn-down collar T-shirts and polo shirts are associated with the Old Money aesthetic. There are reasons for this, considering the history of the item, which was originally designed for playing polo. But now designers have begun to completely rethink the classic wardrobe item. Various polo options appeared in the collections of Miu Miu, Dries Van Noten and Coperni in the 2024 spring-summer season.

very short shorts

The next trend is for the bravest. And all because it implies a micro length. And no, we’re not talking about skirts. In spring 2024, ultra-short shorts will be at the forefront, as seen in the fashion shows of Gucci, Max Mara and Alexander McQueen. In everyday life, such a bold element is best styled with kimonos or maxi cardigans.

lime color

It seems that this season the fashion industry has turned to every shade of citrus. Last year we talked about the upcoming trend of orange, we talked about the popularity of lemon color, and now we recommend paying attention to lemon color. It looks like it will only gain popularity. Therefore, pay attention to hats and patent leather skirts in the spirit of Prada, as in the Gucci show.

little white dress

The little black dress is a timeless classic. But this spring it is better to replace it with white. And it is not us who say this, it is the collective unconscious of the design workshop. Check out runway looks from Versace, Acne Studios and Carven.

Pencil Skirts

Last year, all urban fashionistas announced that they were in search of maximum length skirts made of denim, leather and linen. Dangerous minis used to rule the roost in 2022, but now solid midis are at the forefront. More precisely, pencil skirts that managed to irritate the teeth during the school period. But now it is worth paying attention again. Fashion bloggers, stylists and designers give tips on this. We saw trendy pencil skirts on the catwalks of Gucci, Akris, Jacquemus, Emporio Armani and many other brands.

transparent bottom

Products made of transparent or translucent mesh are a global industry trend in recent years. But next spring, “naked” skirts will be especially popular. What’s more, they can be styled with a completely different top in mood. For example, at the Prada fashion show, we saw a duet consisting of a transparent skirt and a masculine jacket.
