The year 2023 was a remarkable one for fashion, with a variety of trends emerging and evolving. As we enter 2024, we can look forward to a continuation and expansion of some of these themes, as well as some new ones. Mansi Kshatriya, the Design Director of Tokyo Talkies by Brand Studio Lifestyle, gives us a sneak peek into the trends that will rule the style scene in 2024.
Pastels, Florals, and Bows: The Rise of Romanticism in Fashion
One of the dominant trends in women’s fashion is the revival of romanticism, with a focus on soft and sweet elements. Pastel shades, floral prints, bows, rosettes, and other embellishments add a touch of whimsy and elegance. The silhouettes are fluid and gentle, with fabrics that drape and flow. Babydoll and mini dresses are some of the key pieces that showcase this trend. The accessories and footwear also reflect the romantic theme, with items such as Mary Janes, ballet flats, floral chokers, pearls, headbands, and bow clips.
Workwear 2.0: The Evolution of Office Style
With the return of office life and the entry of Gen Z into the workforce, the workwear fashion is here to stay and evolve. The trend is to opt for oversized and structured pieces, such as suits, blazers, Bermuda shorts, and jackets, paired with high-waisted pants and formal shoes like brogues, mules, and slingbacks. Stripes are a prominent pattern in this trend, as they add a sense of professionalism and sophistication. The corp core trend is all about creating a powerful and confident look.
Shimmer, Shine, and Glamour: The Disco Trend is Back
Another trend that draws inspiration from the past is the disco trend, which celebrates the shimmer, shine, and glamour of the ’70s and ’80s. The disco trend features mini and maxi dresses, corsets, bralettes, and co-ord trousers in slinky and body-hugging shapes, with details such as sequins and fringes. The accessories and footwear also add to the glitz and glam, with metallic boots, gold and silver heels, and metallic handbags. The disco trend is perfect for those who want to make a dazzling statement.
Satin, Lace, and Lingerie: The Boudoir Trend is Taking Over
The boudoir trend is a fashion revival from the ’90s that celebrates the charm of satin, lace, and lingerie-like designs. This trend features garments such as cami tops, slip dresses, satin maxis, and mesh midi skirts, which can be styled as outerwear for a glamorous and sophisticated look. The shoes and accessories are also minimal and refined, with strappy flats and stilettos. The boudoir trend is a way of expressing the feminine appeal and sensuality.
Edgy and Cool: The Y2K Grunge Trend is Back with a Bang
The last trend that we can expect to see in 2024 is the resurgence of the Y2K grunge trend, which reflects the street style and attitude of the early 2000s. The Y2K grunge trend features baggy jeans, crop tops, mini skirts, biker jackets, and halter tops, made from denim, cottons, and knits. The footwear and accessories are also edgy and bold, with biker boots, chunky boots, sneakers, denim boots, baseball caps, sunglasses, and denim bags. Denim is the star of this trend, as it adds a touch of ruggedness and coolness. The Y2K grunge trend is all about expressing one’s individuality and personality.
