Following a whirlwind of fashion extravaganzas across New York, London, Milan, and Paris, the Spring-Summer 2024 Fashion Week has left us enamored with a myriad of trends. From ethereal sheer and opulent gold-white dresses to the resurgence of miniskirts and mini shorts, the runway showcased an array of styles destined to grace our wardrobes in the coming months. Floral and fringed patterns added a touch of whimsy, while the catwalks embraced the allure of total denim looks and the timeless coolness of leather jackets. As we delve into the fashion forecast, let’s unravel the threads that will undoubtedly shape our style narratives in the upcoming seasons.
The miniskirt: Short is in during this Spring-Summer 2024 Fashion Week. The trend was first spotted in the suit-inspired tiny miniskirts at Sabato di Sarno’s debut show for Gucci. Then, it appeared with ruffles at Miu Miu and Chanel, in a seventies-like vinyl fabric at the Louis Vuitton Spring-Summer 2024 collection, or with sexy and sculptural designs at Mugler and Weinsanto.
The minidress: At Chanel, Miu Miu, and Versace, the garment adopts a deceptively wise sixties-inspired style. Conversely, designer John Galliano at Maison Margiela offers an effective punkish and baroque minidress, while Andreadamo introduces the piece in a range of nude drapes. This Fashion Week, the Marni, Missoni, and Dsquared2 show bet on a more-than-mini dress, which already signals next summer’s viral trend.
The mini short: Mini shorts displayed a minimalist, jet set-like style at Gucci, Chanel, Valentino, and GCDS. Prada and Dolce & Gabbana presented a neo-tailoring version of it, while Khaite and Tom Ford opted for a rock’n’roll version.
The no pants trend: Bolder than the mini, the no pants will definitely be a hot trend next summer. Set by Kendall Jenner after being photographed in a Bottega Veneta jumper and tights revealing her panties in November 2022, the pantless look emerged on many catwalks this Fashion Week – at Bottega Veneta indeed, with black panties paired with a jewel-collared top, at the Luar and Schiaparelli shows in a decadent workwear style, at Ferragamo in a minimalist version, at Marni with a matching camisole, at Miu Miu with swim trunks, and at Vaillant with jewel panties.
The bra-top trend: Another upcoming trend is the bra-top, which consists of wearing your bra as an actual top and will appeal to everyone who prefers to drop the top rather than the bottom. More covering than the micro-bra trend from the Fall-Winter 2023-2024 collections, the bra-top is minimalist at Rick Owens, sophisticated at Hermès and Atlein, worn like a jewel at Vaillant, sober at Dries Van Noten delicate, or sported over a tee-shirt at Acne Studios.
