Key trends for fall 2024: suede, boho style and cardigans

Traditionally, we recommend that you start your preparations for the new season with an analysis of the main fashion trends. We hope that this summer you have had time to wear floral dresses, fishnet ballerinas, tiered skirts and lace trousers, because in a few weeks they will have to be sent to the farthest shelves of your wardrobe. All to make room for something new.

In the fall of 2024, designers, creative directors of leading brands and stylists invite us to pay attention to feminine silhouettes, boho style, plaid, as well as bright leather elements, animal prints (though not leopard) and total denim looks. We see all these trends not only in the catwalk collections, but also in everyday life. Representatives of the fashion community have long adapted current trends to fit their wardrobe, and we recommend that you follow their example.

On the eve of autumn, we have compiled 10 main trends of the season that are definitely worth paying attention to. In our material, we will talk about each of them in a little more detail.

Bohemian style

After Chemena Kamali’s first fashion show for Chloe in February of this year, it became clear that the boho style will soon return to the fashion arena and to the lives of everyone interested in fashion. By the way, Chemena was not the only one who decided to focus on ethnicity along with careless layering. Chloe’s creative director was joined by designers from the brands Etro, Lemaire, Rabanne and Antik Batik. To adapt to this trend, choose wardrobe items made of natural fabrics and soft tones, do not forget about prints and take a closer look at clogs.

Cell

If we were in school right now, we would happily wear plaid skirts. And all because this pattern is the trendiest in the fall season. The visuals from the fashion shows of Burberry, Fendi, Dsquared2, Collina Strada and many more brands are proof of this. In the meantime, we recommend that you take a closer look not only at skirts, but also at trousers, shirts (which can be tied at the waist), dresses and even bags.

Shiny Leather

Every autumn, leather goods are back in fashion: jackets, vests, shirts, trousers or trench coats. Last year, products made of aged leather were at the forefront, but this season they were replaced by shiny products. Like the shows of Emilia Wickstead, Bottega Veneta and Akris. Such wardrobe items made of leather can serve as a central accent in the image, so we recommend that you take a closer look at this trend.

Belt

A belt is an accessory that can complete any look and set the right mood. For example, a thin version will make the outfit more feminine, but a wide version with an accent buckle will add a rebellious touch. But now we will not talk about the accessory itself, but how to wear it. One of the main trends of this fall is to tighten the belt on coats, jackets, jackets and even dresses. See how Chanel, Alberta Ferretti and Akris suggested wearing this wardrobe essential on their fashion shows.

Zebra print

Over the past few years, animal prints have become popular in the fashion industry. For example, this summer, leopard was at the peak of popularity. Street style heroes and fashion influencers wore skirts, ballet flats, pants, bags and even dresses with this pattern. However, next fall, the palm will be taken over by the less stereotypical zebra print. We saw trending pieces in collections by Jacquemus, Iro, Sonia Rykiel, Luar and Stella McCartney.

Suede

Suede is one of the main trends of this year, but it will be especially relevant in the fall. The designer store focuses on dark beige fringed shirts, chocolate-colored trousers and khaki jackets. In the fall, all these suede pieces will look especially stylish with cowboy boots, jeans and trendy wide-brimmed hats.

Full denim look

Since we are talking about denim, it is worth adding that it will not leave the trend list either. Moreover, we now see products made of practical materials not only in Ready-to-Wear collections but also in couture shows. In the second category, Balenciaga fashion house, led by Demna Gvasalia, was especially successful. When it comes to global trends, designers are now voting for the total denim look. Cool style options were seen in Christian Dior, Coperni and Ahluwalia shows.

Midi length

In 2022, all fashionistas were after miniskirts; last season the most fashionable was the maxi length and this year the focus was on strict midi skirts. Now it is especially worth paying attention to the pencil skirt again. Fashion bloggers, stylists and designers give hints about it. We saw the latest pencil skirts on the catwalks of Courrèges, Coperni, Christian Dior and many more brands.

Full skirts

Fashion has always been famous for its contradictions, so along with tight midi skirts, loose A-line models are also in the trend. This is another proof that the industry is moving towards femininity. Stylists recommend wearing puffy skirts with pleated shirts, jackets, sweaters and short jackets. But for shoes, you can choose both elegant slingbacks and coarse low shoes.

Cardigan

Finally, let’s admit that a cardigan is an indispensable thing for all residents of our country. Firstly, it’s warm, secondly, it’s universal, and thirdly, it’s fashionable (especially this season). The basic wardrobe item was in the autumn-winter collections of Gucci, Miu Miu, Ferragamo and Prada. By the way, fashion influencers offered their own version of the style – they fasten the cardigan only with the top button and wear it with T-shirts, tops and basic T-shirts.
