7 main trends of winter 2024: parkas, afghan coats and mohair cardigans

We don’t want to upset you, but we still kindly remind you that winter is less than a month away. And this means only one thing: it’s time to put aside your favorite trench coats, bomber jackets and leather raincoats and mentally prepare for the onset of real cold weather. It is also worth updating your wardrobe.

We agree that it is almost impossible to follow global trends in the conditions of the Russian winter, but we will still try to adapt some items to our harsh realities. For example, Afghan coats and parkas will suit the snowy streets of the capital. But first things first.

In today’s article, we will talk about seven main autumn trends that you should consider when creating your looks.

afghan jacket

Tired of ordinary winter jackets? Then feel free to choose an Afghan coat for the cold season. The main feature of this model is the fluffy sheepskin trim on the sleeves, collar and along the buckle. Afghan coats were especially popular in the hippie-dominated 1970s. Now the fashion community has once again paid attention to this outerwear model. Street style heroes recommend wearing coats with blue jeans, tight tops and ankle boots. The result is a trendy look in the spirit of Cool City Girl.

Parka

Parkas, which were especially popular in the 90s and 2010s, are back in the fashion arena. And many are sure this was influenced by the Gallagher brothers’ reunion. But even before them, the fashion industry was oriented towards utilitarianism, practicality and comfort. In the past fashion weeks, they took part in the collections of Burberry, Martine Rose, Balenciaga, Miu Miu, Dsquared2 and many other brands. Stylists recommend wearing them with jeans, midi skirts and contrasting sequined dresses.

Fur

Trendy outerwear doesn’t stop with parkas and Afghan coats. This winter, look out for voluminous fur coats like the ones worn by crime bosses’ wives. We saw the current models at the fairs of Rhude, Dsquared2, Dolce & Gabbana, 16Arlington and many other brands. By the way, fashion bloggers have long adapted the fur coat into their everyday wardrobe. They wear them with loose jeans, trouser suits and silhouette midi skirts.

mohair cardigan

This fall, designers, stylists and fashion influencers are inviting us to go white and fluffy (at least in appearance). Mohair cardigans, which are at the top of the list of winter trends, will help in this regard. Heroes of street style wear them with jeans, classic trousers and knitted skirts. And if multi-colored options refer to the grandpa aesthetic, then comfortable monochrome models will fit perfectly into the wardrobe of a typical neat girl.

scandinavian sweater

The Scandinavian patterned sweater, which was always in your wardrobe when you were a child, is on trend again. Current options were seen at Dsquared2, No.21, Duran Lantink, Loewe and Bode fairs. That’s why we recommend you choose comfort this winter and add a Scandinavian sweater to your wardrobe.

caped coat

Next winter, it will be fashionable to wear coats in an unusual way. The design workshop, with the participation of fashion influencers, suggests styling the coat with a wide scarf and tucking the ends back. The result is an unusual, but at the same time very warm and complete image.

wool skirts

Not everyone dares to wear skirts in winter. However, we still recommend that you pay attention to the wool model. Moreover, they are at the top of the trend list this season. You can combine a warm skirt with cardigans or sweaters in current colors, colorful tights and boots.
