Cold weather seasons signal an abundance of overcoats, usually in the form of wool or tweed, but this season, designers have elevated their outerwear options. Feathers, fringe, and woven designs were featured on the runways this season, as seen in the collections of Gabriela Hearst, Tory Burch, Stella McCartney, Alexander McQueen, and Ulla Johnson.

Fall/Winter 2024 Fashion Trends: Pantless

Pantless looks have been slowly but surely easing their way back into the fashion zeitgeist over the past year, but this season, this bold look was shown in full force. This leg-forward trend made an appearance on the Chloé runway in an olive green knit look, and in a sleek Dior look that takes business casual to the extreme, a true testament to the versatility of the no-pants look.

Fall/Winter 2024 Fashion Trends: Plaid

For this season's collections, designers overwhelmingly opted to work plaid into their pieces, seamlessly weaving the quintessential fall pattern into designs. The print acted primarily as the center of each design, as seen in the cozy wool overcoats on the Chloé runway, in Helmut Lang's vintage scarf-inspired look, and as a standout structured blazer à la Rabanne.

For years, capes and shawls have served as a fashion statement, frequently worn by celebrities like Kendall Jenner. However, this fashion month, brands have emphatically declared it's time for all things shawl. Offering a touch of luxury and regality, shawls elevate an ensemble with a nod to Old Hollywood glamour. Showcasing the look through figure-hugging, wrapped silhouettes, cropped variants, and asymmetric hemlines, brands like Proenza Schouler, Jane Wade, Issey Miyake, and Fendi agree this is a Fall/Winter 2024 fashion trend worth remembering.

Fur has always been a part of fall fashion, but we are in the age of a resurgence. Brands have identified a distinct Fall/Winter 2024 fashion trend set to dominate this season. Acne Studios, Burberry, and Khaite showcased fur detailing, accessories, or full-on fur outfits on the runway, ideal for the autumn and winter months.

The criss-cross style is the Fall/Winter 2024 fashion trend for making a statement. Jane Wade implements it via edgy leathers for a sultry look, while Monse incorporates criss-cross detailing into suit jackets for a sophisticated twist. Fforme uses a more simplistic approach with a large draped criss-cross sweater. Either way, the criss-cross style is one to turn heads this upcoming season.

Last year, hoods titillated the fashionably minded as an unexpected addition to the typical A-line gowns and high slits seen on the red carpet. However, as all trends trickle down eventually, brands like Khaite, Balmain, Nina Ricci, and Alexander McQueen are returning hoods to their ready-to-wear form. Consider this the most utilitarian Fall/Winter 2024 fashion trend you'll see this runway season.

Taking a slight depature from the typical turtleneck, designers opted to take it up a notch this season, bringing necklines several inches higher than average. Seen in everything from sweeping Burberry trench coats to structured sweaters à la Max Mara, high necklines were a hit on the Fall/Winter 2024 runways.

Tied sweaters have been making the rounds on Fall/Winter 2024 runways across the world, but have been particularly prevalent in Milan, cropping up in the collections of both Max Mara and Moschino. A tied or draped sweater offers designers the opportunity to add visual interest and depth to a look through a pop of texture or color, resulting in a complete look that exudes an air of effortlessly chic style.

This season, designers are drawing inspiration from a wealth of nontraditional sources—traditional military attire included. Spotted on the Prada runway in the form of structured caps and tailored suits, as well as on the Tom Ford runway in the form of a fitted dress with gold button accents, it seems the militaristic uniform trend is here to stay for the time being.

Ribbons ruled the runway this season, there's no doubt about it. From hair accessories to tie-front tops, designers seemingly couldn't get enough of the trend that's been taking over the TK and TK alike, but on the runways at the Prada, Richard Quinn, and No. 21 shows, designers boasted a twist on the trend—structured bows. Designers crafted bows out of heavier materials, marking a departure from the typical satin or grosgrain, resulting in a unique, more structured appearance.

Fall/WInter 2024 Fashion Trends: Olive Green

From the sheer lacy number on the Gucci runway to the flowing Chloè trench coat, olive green has certainly had a grip on the Fall/Winter 2024 collections. While it is typically considered an autumnal hue, designers are departing from the norm and putting their own unique spin on olive green this season, as seen in a wide range of looks, like Ferragamo's head-to-toe monochromatic look and the voluminous tulle clutch à la Saint Laurent.

Fall/Winter Fashion Trends: Chunky Scarves

The chunky scarf emerged as a must-have wardrobe item this past winter—thanks to the viral moment that the Acne Studios mohair scarves enjoyed. The style has been spotted everywhere from the streets of New York, Paris, and Copenhagen alike, but has also emerged as the It-accessory on the Fall/Winter 2024 runways. Brands like Stella McCartney and Ann Demeulemeester opted to put a textured spin on the trend, while GCDS models sported chunky scarves with threads of glitter woven into thick burgundy mohair.
