Sunnier days are finally, officially, blessedly here—and it’s time to get a jump on the spring 2024 fashion trends that have been taking over our feeds. If your wardrobe is starting to feel a bit tired after months of gray skies, you’re in luck: A new season is bringing plenty of fresh inspiration from the spring runways along with it. Better yet, they’re all actually wearable, from demure ballet flats to sporty tenniscore separates.
1. Athletic prep
One of our favorite 2024 fashion trends for https://agata.id/ spring and summer is the return of the preppy aesthetic. This one is directly tied to Miu Miu’s string of hyper-popular runways, starting a few years ago with that micromini pleated skirt and culminating in this spring’s Gossip Girl–esque collection. Updated prep-school classics like polo shirts, track jackets, and button-down shirts walked down the runway this season with a new attitude. Meanwhile, Challengers (and Zendaya’s sporty red-carpet style) is inspiring a renewed interest in tenniscore. There’s never been a better time to dress like you belong to a country club.
2. Boho 3.0
Welcome back to the zeitgeist, fringe! While the word boho might send you on a stress-induced mental trip back to 2013, fear not: The aesthetic has been remixed for 2024, with new takes on crochet, fringe, and flowy tops that feel cooler than ever before. Boho-aligned brands like Chloé, Ulla Johnson, and Ralph Lauren leaned hard into the look for spring—and we only expect it to get more popular as summer fades into fall. Invest now and you’ll be set for the whole year.
3. Basics with a twist
Stealth wealth is still going strong, but it’s poised to change a little in the new year. With ’90s luminaries like Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy clearly on the mood board, simple (yet glamorous) outfits are all the rage right now. “I believe we will move into an ’80s, ’90s look somewhat adjacent to quiet luxury,” says Jenny Walton, a Vogue contributor and writer of the newsletter Jenny Sais Quoi. “Someone who dressed in a very simplistic and chic manner such as Bessette-Kennedy will continue to be a big inspiration. I also think that restraint will become more and more alluring.” Get a jump on minimalism with hardworking basics—each with just enough personality not to fade into the background—like draped tank tops, sharp blazers, high-waisted jeans, and relaxed loafers.
4. Little white dresses
Forget the LBD. This spring, labels like Tory Burch, Prada, and Tove (among many others) are going in the opposite direction. Whether you’re heading to a garden party or to cocktails, these numbers are just as sweet as they are alluring—and they’ll only get more practical for the heat as spring blossoms into summer. We appreciate how easy they are to style; throw on simple jewelry and take your pick from ballet flats, walking sandals, slingback heels, and summer sneakers.
5. Westward bound
Call it the Cowboy Carter effect: Fashion is taking a big trip out West this season, and we’re following. Instead of doing full vaquera cosplay, though, it’s more about taking cues from the American West: cowboy-style stitching on jackets at Chloé, lacy frontier dresses at Dior, futuristic denim sets and cowboy boots at Ganni. Whether you respond more to Texas tuxedos or Western boots, it doesn’t hurt to work a little frontiersman flair into your wardrobe.
