This fashion month has been one to remember with an array of new creative directors debuting their collections for top labels, noteworthy street style moments, and exciting celebrity attendees. But above all, we can't help but keep our attention on the new trends. Brands such as Gucci, Tom Ford, Bottega Veneta, and Ferragamo have already ushered in new ideas we can't wait to start adding to the mood board. Other designers also have not been shy in putting forward their unique vision to their collections, with quite a few common themes in certain presentations, henceforth unveiling the must-see trends of next season. From denim on denim to shiny metallics, here are 14 trends that deserve to be added to your wardrobe come the Spring/Summer 2024 season

String Theory

Alexander McQueen Spring/Summer 2024.
Prada Spring/Summer 2024.
Bottega Veneta Spring/Summer 2024.
Rabanne Spring/Summer 2024.
Gucci Spring/Summer 2024.

Come spring, fringe is coming for your clothes. However, designers are leaning into longer lengths. Alexander McQueen debuted a fitted blazer dress with sequin fringe swept across the front before cascading down the sides, while Prada opted for a fringe skirt overlay.

Wearable Clothes

Hermès Spring/Summer 2024.
Loewe Spring/Summer 2024.
Michael Kors Spring/Summer 2024.
Givenchy Spring/Summer 2024.
Gucci Spring/Summer 2024.
Courrèges Spring/Summer 2024.
Max Mara Spring/Summer 2024.

In a world where virality is chased and micro trends run rampant, this season, designers took a step back—presenting a lineup of garments meant to be worn and not just seen. Sabato de Sarno's new Gucci leaned heavily into this, with an array of commercial-ready garments—though it still felt fresh, such as its crystallized mini dresses and leather pencil skirts with a mid-slit.

Loud Luxury

Balmain Spring/Summer 2024.
Marni Spring/Summer 2024.

Quiet luxury who? Enough of the whispers, designers are shouting on the Spring/Summer 224 runways. Contrasting prints, vivacious colorways, and unique proportions—standing out is the name of the game next spring in the loudest way possible. For inspiration, look no further than Marni, Rabanne, and Balmain.

Pale Yellow

Loewe Spring/Summer 2024.
Max Mara Spring/Summer 2024.
Gcds Spring/Summer 2024.
Fendi Spring/Summer 2024.

Pale yellow has dominated the runways this season, with a stamp of approval from Max Mara and Gcds. Fendi worked in the shade through color blocking, pairing a pale yellow tank with a more vibrant yellow sweater, grey trousers, white heels, and a bright orange handbag. Loewe introduced the hue in a simpler fashion, with a slim-fit maxi dress styled with sequin flats.

Pale Blue

1 / 4
Fendi Spring/Summer 2024.
Marni Spring/Summer 2024.
Prada Spring/Summer 2024.
Tod's Spring/Summer 2024.

A more saturated version of cerulean blue, pale blue is here to take over. The soothing shade popped up on numerous catwalks, including Marni, Fendi, Tod's, and Prada—though it took shape in a variety of silhouettes, from basics such as sleeveless tanks to formalwear like silk column dresses.

Hot Pants

Gucci Spring/Summer 2024.
Prada Spring/Summer 2024.
Tom Ford Spring/Summer 2024.
Chloé Spring/Summer 2024.

Out: Mini skirts. In: Hot Pants. 

Brands such as Gucci, Tom Ford, and Prada are all on the same page: Hot pants are the new mini silhouette to wear next spring. But don't panic, there are plenty of ways to hop on the trend without feeling exposed. Be it throwing on a fringe skirt overlay (as seen at Prada) or staying covered on top with an oversized blouse (as spotted at Khaite), the motto for next spring is "go short or go home."

'90s Minimalism

Cos Spring/Summer 2024.
Gucci Spring/Summer 2024.
Prada Spring/Summer 2024.
Khaite Spring/Summer 2024.
Loro Piana Spring/Summer 2024.
MM6 Maison Margiela Spring/Summer 2024.
Hermès Spring/Summer 2024.

Clean lines, neutral shades, and casual suiting — the Spring/Summer 2024 runways have been a throwback to '90s minimalism. Maybe it's the Supermodel effect, but unveiled on the runway have been pieces well worthy of '90s model-off-duty style. That said, designers have certainly interpreted the trend in their own way, be it MM6 Maison Margiela's reinterpreted version of the slip dress (a '90s staple) or Gucci's array of classic wardrobe separates.

Bright Colors

Fendi Spring/Summer 2024.
Bottega Veneta Spring/Summer 2024.
Ralph Lauren Spring/Summer 2024
Helmut Lang Spring/Summer 2024
Chanel Spring/Summer 2024

Taking a step back from the pastels that are typically associated with spring, designers went more vibrant, embracing brighter hues. It's not just one color either, brands weren't shy in incorporating a range of bright colors, from yellow to red to blue. If bright colors seem a bit too Sesame Street for your liking, try having a monochromatic moment — keeping the outfit chic and on-trend.

Denim on Denim

1 / 6
Dior Spring/Summer 2024.
Ferrari Spring/Summer 2024.
Chanel Spring/Summer 2024
Diesel Spring/Summer 2024.
Gcds Spring/Summer 2024.
Dion Lee Spring/Summer 2024.

The great American classic denimwear was certainly a hot topic that took over the Spring/Summer 2024 runways in New York City as well as Milan and Paris. Whether it was a Canadian tuxedo or a denim piece with graphic prints, be sure to note all the ways to play around with denim in your wardrobe come next season.

Metallics

Alexander McQueen Spring/Summer 2024.
Tom Ford Spring/Summer 2024.
Chloé Spring/Summer 2024.
Rabanne Spring/Summer 2024.
Fforme Spring/Summer 2024.

Whether it be a liquid gold (as seen by Ralph Lauren) or a shiny silver worthy to wear on Beyoncé's Renaissance Tour, we spotted a variety of metallic looks for Spring/Summer 2024. A major step up from what you'd find in your local Party City store, the daunting colors are balanced with more simplistic silhouettes, keeping the shades a standout yet easy to wear for everyday 'fits.

Oversized Outerwear

Bottega Veneta Spring/Summer 2024.
Khaite Spring/Summer 2024
Grace Ling Spring/Summer 2024
Helmut Lang Spring/Summer 2024
Diesel Spring/Summer 2024.
Etro Spring/Summer 2024.
Loro Piana Spring/Summer 2024.

Oversized proportions are back in style for Spring/Summer 2024 as decided by Etro, Khaite, and Bottega Veneta. Beyond the traditional winter overcoat, the oversized outerwear fit is especially taking shape in blazers and suiting, allowing an office-friendly take on the trend.

Matching Sets

1 / 4
Coach Spring/Summer 2024
Khaite Spring/Summer 2024
Gucci Spring/Summer 2024.
Hermès Spring/Summer 2024.

Coach and Khaite showed us that matching sets don't have to be just for loungewear. A leather blazer and maxi skirt set or a two-piece fur-lined skirt suit can certainly make a mark in your wardrobe trend-wise.

Full Bloom

1 / 5
Burberry Spring/Summer 2024.
Dior Spring/Summer 2024.
Tanner Fletcher Spring/Summer 2024.
Etro Spring/Summer 2024.
Balmain Spring/Summer 2024.

Florals for spring will always be groundbreaking. But this isn't your grandmother's florals — designers are giving it a fresh update. Instead of all-around prints à la Burberry, Etro opted for floral applique, while Tanner Fletcher cosigned floral embellishments as a unique detail to the design.

Sheer Materials

1 / 5
Saint Laurent Spring/Summer 2024.
Tom Ford Spring/Summer 2024.
Ferragamo Spring/Summer 2024.
Chanel Spring/Summer 2024
Marni Spring/Summer 2024.

Sheer has been here as of late, and designers have declared it's here to stay — though next season there's an added twist. Going beyond a sheer dress with neutral-toned underwear underneath, brands like Ferragamo and Saint Laurent are making a case to strip even further, going nearly bare underneath (yes, we mean it's time to free the nipples).
