With warm weather just within reach, the desire to ditch the heavy parkas, huge sweatshirts, and bulky cable knit sweaters is undeniably strong. Spring means it’s the season of comfy t-shirts, denim shorts, flowy skirts, and flowery dresses. But alongside the entrance of a new season comes the inevitable introduction of new fashion trends. Where do you even start with all of these trends? Well, I’m passionate about fashion and putting together outfits, and as spring has now sprung, I’ve outlined below my favorite trends predicted to take over this spring 2024 season:
- Business Casual: Blazers and trousers are no longer only reserved for the office – you can’t go out anywhere in the city without seeing someone donning trouser pants with a belt and fitted t-shirt nowadays! I love the idea of wearing comfy office pants with sneakers, a t-shirt, and a baseball hat to go out for brunch in. It’s such a great and cool way to look put together without feeling the scratch of stiff denim hugging your legs. You can even wear a casual outfit and dress it up with a pair of black loafers and socks. I’m personally all over this trend, and I can’t wait to get a pair of tan trousers (or maybe a pop of color, like a sage green or baby pink pair!) for this summer, and ditch wearing my tight denim jeans.
- Loose Fitting Jeans: Speaking of denim jeans – I’m actually okay with not getting rid of them completely this spring – as long as they’re not skin-tight. I’m so excited that the trend for jeans now is the “loose fitting, baggy look.” This style of jean is so comfortable to wear - they’re probably the closest jeans can ever get to feeling like sweatpants. I love the idea of styling loose or “relaxed” jeans as some retailers call them, with a spring pastel-colored t-shirt and sneakers. I personally prefer hi-rise and mid-rise variations of the relaxed jean – low-rise does not look the best on me, but I encourage you to go out and try each version and decide which style suits you best!
- “Peach Fuzz” Colored Apparel: If you haven’t already heard, the Pantone Color of the Year 2024 has been declared “Peach Fuzz,” so you can definitely expect people to be wearing this color this spring. This beautiful, light orangey-pinkish color would look great as a workout top with leggings for going on a walk or hike, it would look cozy as a cropped zip-up sweatshirt over your outfit, and I would love to see it used as a button down top over a neutral-colored outfit. This color is a little out of my comfort zone, so maybe I’ll start small with it by potentially using it as a little extra pop of color somewhere; think as a headband, handbag, shoe color, etc. I’m excited to see all the ways people interpret this color of the year into their spring plans!
- Big Oversized Tote Bags: I’m thrilled that the trend for bags this year is geared more towards practicality vs style-only; last year the bag trend was tiny, itty-bitty bags and purses that looked chic, but lacked functionality. This year you could go for a tote bag with a quilted material to sling over your shoulder and toss your necessities into, linen-blend totes with cute patterns on them, and if you’re feeling like splurging, you can opt for a higher-end leather bag from retailers like Michael Kors. Having a nice bag always pulls your outfit together.
- Rose/Flower Appliques: A really pretty trend this spring is rose or flower appliques on items like shirts, dresses, shoes, and bags. They’re also making an impact on hair accessories as well. I think this trend is gorgeous, and it has this elegance and romance to it that’s enticing. I’d love to find a top to wear for going out to dinner that has a rose applique right on the center of the neckline, maybe with a leather jacket or light blazer to complete the ensemble. I’ve also seen these flower appliques on dresses, which would be stunning on a wedding guest dress, or bedazzling on a handbag.
