Minimalist is back, but maybe not as you remember it. This season’s pared-back aesthetic has an elegant, almost opulent feel, with luxurious fabrics and thoughtful detailing elevating the simpler silhouettes.
The Neutral color palettes of creamy whites, softer blues, and warmed beiges are having a major moment, seen everywhere from Rows’ breezy cotton dressings to Bottega Venetias’ sleek knitwear and leathered separates! But don’t mistake this minimalism for boringness. Designers are playing with unique textures like croc-embossed leathers and latex to add unexpected edges.

For offices or evening events, seek out beautifully tailored suitings and pencil skirts in these soft, icy hues. Pair them with a tucked-in tank or a sheer blouse, leaving them casually unbuttoned for an effortless chic vibe. Or channel Vogues’ “great white dress” trend by layering a crisp poplin shirtdress over pants for a fresh, modern take on a warm-weather staple.
Retro Rebounds
The ’90s minimalism revival may be new, but other nostalgic trends from decades past will also have their moments in 2024. The Runways were awash in fringe detail, crochet knits, and flowy bohemian silhouettes remembering the ’70s. Look for a piece with those retro details from brands like Freed People, Chloé, and Ralph Lauren, giving your look a cool, vintage inspiration twist.

Sporty tennis scores are also rebounding, with polo shirting, pleated skirts, and athletic accessories seen everywhere from the street to the red carpet. Embrace a preppy aesthetic with updating classics like Miu Miu’s iconic micro mini skirt or sporting zip jackets from Tory Burch.
Transparent Delights
For a more daring warmer-weather look, sheer fabrics and cutouts are a must; try the trend in 2024. Romantic and ethereal, these skin-bared details were seen on runways at Givenchy, Bottega Veneta, and Balmain.
Whether you opt for a sheer overlay blouse, daring lace dress, or sleek cutout minis, these glimpses of skin are equal parts sultry and sophisticated. For a more casual trend, just be sure to balance the sheerness with a silk camisole or cycle shorts.
Dopamine Dresses
Unlike minimalism, fashion’s other major movements this season involve embracing vibrant colors, bold prints, and eye-catching embellishments, celebrating pure joy and self-expression.
Leading charges Valentino’s hot pink PP collection, which dominates street style and Instagram with its electric fuchsia hues. From suit to evening gown, the monochrome pink is still going strong as it transitions into spring. Pairing vibrant mini dresses with matching tights and pumps for a look that turns heads.
Equally joyful are kaleidoscopic prints and pattern-making waves this season. Psychedelic swirls, checkerboard print, and color-block geometric shapes give the dopamine dress trend distinct Y2K-vibing. Marni, Dries Van Noten, and Versace embrace this aesthetic with their signature bold prints.
Utilitarian Chic

For those preferring more understated looks, utility-inspired details are a cool and effortless way to tap into the season’s biggest trend. Cargo pants, jumpsuits, and vests with abundant pockets give off rugged, almost military vibes that feel modern and practical. Bermuda shorts and oversized anoraks also had a major moment, proving that functional details can be just as fashionable.
Distressed fabric like ripped denim or wash canvas leans toward this utilitarian aesthetic. For a high-fashion take on the trend, look for unique fabrications like Prada’s sleek nylon totes or Miu Miu’s parachute dress.

Transparent Delights Continued
We’d be remiss in not diving deeper into the sheer trend dominating runways and street stylings. From New York to Paris, barely-there slip dresses, gossamer overwives, and peekaboo lace detail give many designers’ collections a romantic yet daring feel. Dion Lee’s sheer knit separates, and Nensi Dojaka’s signature sheer mini dresses demonstrate the variability of the look, which can be easily dressed up or down.
For a night out, try a sheer lace camisole or corset top over coordinating Bralett. Or make the trend more wearable for the day by layering a sheer button-down over a slim tank and trousers. Sheer Fabrication like organza, mesh, and chiffons also lend ethereal, dreamy quality from maxi skirts to tailored blazers. Valentino’s Spring Couture collection was a full diaphanous gown, and overlays seemed to float across the runway.
Avant Garde Futurisms
While some trends recycling past decades, others are looking ahead to space-ages future. Sleek, minimalist, and avant-garde silhouettes have major moments, from asymmetrical cutout dresses to oversized cocoon coats with exaggerated shoulders.
Metal fabrics like silver lamé and holographical materials bring futuristically shine to clothes and accessories—pairs of shiny jumpsuits with chunky lace-up boots or metallic trenchcoats over the slinky dresses. Structured shapes and shiny textures give looks cutting-edge, almost alien-like aesthetics.
Balenciaga’s viral “muppet” couture looks exemplified trends, with sculptures shapes and glossy fabric creating other world’s silhouettes. But take your time to embrace future vibes. Even simple metallic pleats or asymmetric cutouts look to covet space-age appeal.
Elevated Athleisure
As culture continues embracing comfort and prioritizes wellness, the athleisure trend has gone high fashion. Technical fabrics and activewear details are being incorporated into everyday looks in chic and sophisticated ways.
A silky tracksuit paired with a heel or sports bra peeking out from under blazer dresses gives outfits upscale-yet-relaxing vibes. Brands collaborate with athletes and dancers to create styling yet functional activewear you wear from gym to brunch. The key is choosing high-quality fabrics and paying attention to tailoring for polish results.
Lululemon’s cult-favorite Align legging and Alo’s sculpting bodysuits have become off-duty staples for celebs and influencers alike. Or splurge on Monclers’Moncler’s chic puffer dress or Adidas by Stella McCartney’s tennis-inspired separates for true luxury athleisure looks.
Sustainable and Ethical Fashion
More & more consumer demanding environmental accountabilities and ethnical manufacture from brands they support. In 2024, sustainable fashion is going mainstreaming as shopper prioritize eco-friendliness and cruelty-free clothing accessorizes.
Look for pieces made from plant-based, recycled, or upcycled materials like bamboo, organic cotton, and regenerative fibers. Brands like Reformation, Girlfriend Collective, and Rent the Runways are leading the charge with a commitment to sustainability and circularity. Vegan leathers made from pineapple leaves, mushrooms, and even apple waste are popular animal-friendly alternatives.
Cult Gaias’ sculptural Handbags crafted from rubbery cotton are a chic and eco-conscious splurge. No matter your personal style, 2024 offers a wide variety of trendy yet thoughtfulness fashion options for environmentally-conscious consumers.
