Spring Fashion Trends To Look Out For In 2024

As fashion weeks and shows around the world have come to an end, we have seen spring/summer 2024 looks walk on the runway from designer fashion brands, and as we all know by now, big house designs trickle through the fashion world from small designers to fast fashion companies, and we begin to see glimpses of it on the streets. That is just one example of what I love about fashion, so you are probably wondering what from these fabulous designers we are expected to see walking in our streets.

Through research and a passion for fashion, we have selected a few of our favourites and trends that we will most definitely be seeing this spring! If you love to hop on and stay with the trends, keep reading because you’ll love what we have in store for you.

Lace Here, There and Everywhere

Of course, we saw glimpses of this last fall but expect to see it in bucket loads this spring, it doesn’t have to be full-blown lace pieces but you will see it on the trim of skirts, sock tights, little lace bow accessories on the hair and bags. Lace will be all over spring 2024 and while this is a texture we do see pop up in and out of trends quite often, we would recommend that you hold onto any classic pieces you get a hold of, as lace is surely going to pop up again after spring 2024.

Pops of Colour

When wearing your all-black fits or all-white and getting ready for the summer days, we are bound to see block-coloured outfits with pops of colour. Especially leaning towards the colour red but you can just have complete fun with this and it’s a simple and effective way to elevate your out that tad more. Whether it’s bold colour sunglasses, a statement bag or some cute sling-back heels, you could add them wherever you please and bring some life into your outfits this spring.

Bangles To Your Elbows

Statement jewellery has always been one of our favourites, but finding out what’s hot and what’s not is tricky with jewellery because everyone suits something different. But you are a maximalist kind of girl, and you are going to love that layering your bangles is going to look so good this spring. Try it even on top of your long-sleeved tops and mix the colours. Get creative with, maybe even some textural materials from plastic, metal and glass. Maybe this could be your way of adding a pop of colour to your outfit.

Mix and Match Prints

Once seen as a sin, now I’m not so sure. If you do it right, it could look so good, but if that’s not for you, then there seem to be a lot of versions of cheetah print emerging in both men’s and women’s streetwear fashion, from baggy jeans, to tank tops and bikinis. So we expect to see a lot of cheetah prints this spring. Add it with some other classic basics to make the cheetah really pop and even add a pop of colour to make it all avant-garde.

Miu Miu Inspirations

Miu Miu has always been a must among women, although the hype behind this Prada’s daughter brand has been crazy and we expect to see a lot of Miu Miu-inspired outfits and accessories. Especially the reading glasses, there seems to be a craze around office attire and Miu Miu representation that has influenced right down to the glasses. Little, tiny mini shorts and bloomers are also expected to be seen in spring 2024!

Final Thoughts

Trends are good in the sense they can introduce you to styles and colours that really suit your soul and compliment your features that’s not to say every trend should be followed but more take them as inspiration and hopefully you find things that you can wear for years to come rather than buying a whole new wardrobe every season.

5 Classic Spring Must Have Pieces For Your Closet

Spring is in the air and Summer is not far away. By the time you shop for Spring, the heat is on and it is back to summer shorts. There are some key pieces to add to your wardrobe that will complement, without overcrowding your closet. Here are 5 Classic Spring Must Haves.

A Rain Coat

Not just any raincoat will do. You want one to pair with those capri jeans or flowery maxis and sneaks. We are in love with the Seafaring Waterproof Coat from Sea Salt Cornwall. Machine washable, breathable, waterproof, Sea Salt raincoats are made from linen cotton Tin Cloth® Chambray with a cotton lining on the upper body and polyester lining on the arms and lower body.

The Sweater Jacket

Christy Dawn has a neutral alpaca yarn sweater jacket with a serious zipper and playful puffy long sleeves for work and play. Pair this with jeans, black slacks, and an airy Spring pencil skirt.

Your Spring Loafer

The only Spring shoe you will need for your denim patio nights. The Sierra by Vivaia are timeless and elevated with a bold stitched upper and squared toe. Made the eco-conscious way from plastic bottles. Built-in eco-deodorizing insole and a carbon-free rubber outsole make these loafers a must-have everyday shoe. Reasonably priced at eighty-nine dollars and is machine washable.

Your Favorite Jean

Unspun put a spin on the way we buy denim via their app. Unspun makes one pair of jeans at a time – after you’ve ordered them. How’s that for being intentional? Every garment has an impact. Custom denim at market prices. Create your own made-to-order pair by choosing the stitch, hue, cut, and fit. The app helps you capture your size and you customize your look in a few easy steps. Jeans arrive within 4-6 weeks.

Button-Ups That Are Never Boring

Every once in a while, something comes from Paris and I know it has staying power, (think L’Agence). Meet OEKO-TEX Certified, Natural Material, Sézane, a very chic way to blouse from office to outing. Check out the stunning ruffled, eyelet, short-sleeved Dahlia shirt and the long-sleeved Ecru Blue Chlo striped shirt with embroidered lace that will give the typical office button-up a run for its money. Affordably priced and planet friendly, with a flattering cut.

In Closing

No waste fashion is where it is at. You don’t need to clutter your closet just because Seasons change. Purchase key pieces like these, that flatter your figure and mind the environment this Spring.

 

 

 



	

Fashion Pieces You REALLY Need This Spring

It can be so overwhelming after watching endless Tik Toks or reading blogs, so I gladly summarized the iconic pieces in under four minutes.

In the world of fashion, it can be so intimidating to keep up with the trends. Personally, I don’t keep up with each trend, but I do incorporate some of my favorites into my style. Remember that the way you dress does not define who you are and you should not change your style to stay up to date. I compiled a few of my current favorite trends and/or things I already have in my closet that still can be “trendy.” 

Denim 

Denim is so easy! What you already have in your closet you can mix and match, cut up, or wear differently. As most of you know, my generation has called out skinny jeans, so if you want to hop off that trend, here are a few styles you can start with:

Target has a great selection of boyfriend jeans. Most of mine are bought there; the Wild and Fable brand is my favorite. Francesca’s carries the best mom jeans that are actually stretchy for your thighs. I like their Harper brand because they are like a cheaper dupe for American Eagle. My favorite part about Harper jeans is the variety of shades, styles, and lengths they offer. Once you feel comfortable in boyfriend and mom jeans, try out the wide-legged denim by shopping at H&M or Princess Polly. I think they offer a great variety of jeans you can try out and wear this spring season.

Denim jeans are not the only staple you need this spring – you need a denim jacket for layering your looks! A jean jacket can change the entire vibe of your look, taking it from formal to casual chic. I like pairing light-washed denim jackets with pastel, neutral, and darker clothing. If you wear warm tones, blues, or shades of green, try wearing a darker shade of denim. Adding layers to your look adds depth and definition to your figure. My favorite denim jackets are at your local TJMaxx or anywhere that sells Levi’s jackets. 

Neutrals 

Neutrals are great colors to add to your wardrobe. What I have been purchasing lately have been graphic tees, outwear, shorts, and dresses. I love muted and nude tones of neutral colors because they contrast with my olive skin tone. As a Latina, I love colors that can really bring out my skin color when the weather gets warmer.

Find a shade that makes your skin feel the most beautiful and the most confident in. Once you’ve done that, don’t be afraid to reach for ivory and sand tones. These are great colors to mix darker or warmer-toned clothing with. Lighter colors will add dimension to your look and they are great to mimic the light flowers that bloom. 

Chunky Shoes

Before you completely skip this paragraph, allow me to ease you into this trend. I actually was inspired by Rosalia’s chunky white shoes she would perform in. This was a trend I slowly saw unfold at the end of 2019. Well, it made its way back around but with a variety of shoes and styles.

If you have been to your local Target, there are a variety of chunky sandals and wedges on display. Whether you are a sneaker or sandal type of gal, try adding some height to your favorite look with these shoes. I am 5’7 and, although for so long I was afraid of being taller, this trend has helped me come out of that fear. I like to add chunky sneakers to my “running errands” look or to a casual t-shirt dress. My favorite places to shop for chunky shoes are Princess Polly, DSW, or Fila. They offer different styles of shoes and Fila sneakers that are so comfortable. 

Small Purses 

Accessories are important for every outfit – whether it’s casual or dressy. They tie the entire outfit together. Small purses have been on my timeline 24/7 lately and I am not mad about it. I grew up wearing small purses like mini clutches, cross bodies, or clear bags. My current obsessions are the small leather purses and jelly crossbodies.

When I am wearing a lounge set or a simple jean and tee look, I always wear my leather crossbody. And, when I am dressing up just a tad more, I pair it with a jelly crossbody. These bags are not hard to find – my current jelly bag is from Aubrey’s Attic Co. (a local Kansas City online boutique). You can also find a variety of bags on Zara, H&M, or Princess Polly.

Shades 

The sun is literally my best friend in the summer. I love getting a good tan, going on a hike, or just having dinner on a patio. Another fun accessory to pair with your outfit is some bold and colorful shades. I love a simple aviator shape, circle shape, or an oversized square shape.

My favorite places to get shades are from Quay, Francesca’s, or a local boutique. They always offer quality and most of them are under $50! I worked at Francesca’s for years, so their two-for-$14 deal is to die for. I have had these aviator pairs since 2018 – they have gone to Central America, Europe, and the West Coast and back. They truly are worth the under $20 hype and you get to choose another pair, too!

Spring is a fun season to mix and match trends, add some bold accessories, and play with new looks. Try something you have been wanting to try out, whether it’s in style or not because, at the end of the day, it’s your style! Express yourself with your clothing and don’t be afraid to show up overdressed.

Top Trends All Set To Shape the Fashion Industry In 2021

The fashion industry is one of the many industries that have fallen prey to the Covid-19 pandemic impacts. Its effort of coping significantly with the new normal is notable! With the help of recent trends and paradigms, the industry of glamour and allure is trying its best to hit back the stage with a bang once again. A lot of the new trends have snatched the attention of fashion lovers and enthusiasts.

1. Growth in the Market of Innovative Handbags

2021 has significantly redefined the needs and demands of people, and there is no doubt about that! At this time, traveling is the foremost thing people are avoiding. As odd as it sounds, this factor has impacted the tourism industry and also the fashion industry. 

With the severe limitations in touring and traveling, the demand for luggage accessories has gone down greatly. Accessories like baggies, backpacks, and kits are no more meeting their expected sales graph this year like the other years. 

But on the other hand, the global handbag market is on the rise. This is because the customer references have changed. To quench their shopping thirst, customers are focusing on alternate shopping options. The segment of fashionable accessories like trendy purses, sling bags, clutches, and handbags is mainly millennial-driven. 

Hence, currently, there is no shortage of shoppers regarding luxury options like the exclusively crafted big bag Muriel Lala berlin! It is why a large percentage of key players are expanding their products to a more matching taste of the 2021 consumer populace.

Accepting Covid-19 as the New Normal

Today’s pandemic-stricken times have left us no choice other than to accept its dynamics. It has affected almost every aspect of human lives. Evaluate the industrial dynamics along with the dynamics of the fashion market. From economy, travel, trade, to customer behavior, everything is influenced and reshaped once again!

3. Antiviral Garments 

Back in the days, antiviral or antibacterial clothing was just an add-on to the qualities of garments. Opined by the renowned Swedish sleepwear brand, Dagsmejan, this feature must become compulsory in the pandemic age. This type of fabric has existed and survived in the fashion market for quite a long time. 

Often, sportspersons, patients with derma issues, or consumers with specified hygiene use these types of garments. It is not a surprise. Customers repeatedly stated that the colors of antibacterial fabrics faded out at times earlier than the usual fabrics. This was not the case with all the brands producing antiviral garments.

4. Digitizing Of Small to Medium-Scaled Fashion Ventures

Digital adoption has started to soar in the age of Covid-19. Several brands are eventually expanding their business online. Simultaneously, the giant fashion brands are already a part of the advanced digital sphere, and the medium to small-scaled fashion brands is also making an effort. It is because consumers of all ages, demographic locations, and generations choose to embrace shopping online. 

Customer service video-chats, live streaming, online campaigns, and social shopping are examples of the current innovations. As per analysis, about 71% of the fashion brands today assume their ventures to expand by about 20% in and onwards 2021. The industry is now focusing on implementing conventional and digital methods to boost sales, customer traffic, and engagement. 

5. Justified Treatment for Employees

Amidst the rush and excitement of getting a new attire or accessory, we often fail to notice how much pressurized the garment workers get. This might not be the case everywhere, but many loyal customers of brands have noticed specific negligence towards low-wage employees. These aspects have become unacceptable in the modern industry of fashion. 

Moreover, sales assistants and low-paid workers became vulnerable to such issues even more during the times of Covid-19. Campaigns were crucial to putting an end to employee injustice in the fashion industry. Also, about 66% of the customers said they should consider brands more that treat their employees respectfully and fairly. 

6. Revolution in Overall Fashion Dynamics

As we can see, significant evolutions are taking over several aspects of the fashion industry today. This is making people bound to adopt new and more flexible ways to reach their goals. 

New industrial models are emerging to drive performance in businesses. Companies are now investing in re skilling talents, refining lends of on-premises and remote workers, inducing a sense of shared purpose in work culture are some of the examples. A considerable chunk of brands expects a hybrid and more advanced business model as a part of the future fashion market.

 

The Bottom Line

The times of crisis have brought innovative fashion market trends into the limelight even more. There is the sheer need to attain high productivity. Also, build strategic ways to accomplish them with ultimate safety and convenience. Hence, all segments of the fashion market, as a whole, are working and propelling towards a progressive eon. The trends, as mentioned earlier, were some of the blazing instances of how the fashion market will roll in the next consecutive years!
