4 Styles to Carry into 2024
FRINGE
There’s something about fringe that feels more timelessly cool than “trending.” A dominant characteristic of ’20s and ’70s fashion, fringe today goes beyond the flapper dress and the Western suede jacket, iconic garments from those eras. Fringe adds texture and movement to modern dressing. Highlight a hemline or diffuse sharp lines. Add an artisan touch with intricate texture. Influencers like Leandra Medine and luxury heavyweights are propelling the style forward with new creative ways to don the look. Choose from beads, shaggy wool, raffia, and more.
Bows
Bows were big for 2023 and they’re sticking around. No longer reserved for children and babies, adults can also enjoy tied ribbons in their hair, and bow shapes on their clothes and accessories—a style that's all about reclaiming girliness as a symbol of empowered femininity. In the 1980s, designers dressed women in suits with exaggerated shoulder pads to make them look powerful, like men. In 2024, bows achieve the same objective, to empower women, yet in a way that celebrates femininity directly and boldly. Barbie’s hit movie certainly accelerated momentum for the look, and Garmentory faves, like Sandy Liang and Miu Miu, continue to propel it forward.
Silent Streetwear
It’s a stark shift from the recent logomania obsession and nostalgia for Y2K fashions—we've shifted into an appreciation of quiet luxury, that is, the logo-less styles that are celebrated for quality materials and timeless “good taste,” but that also promenade an if you know, you know attitude. Now, this silent style has moved from cashmere sweaters and fine leather moccasins to sportswear. Like, the clothes that you wear outdoors. Velcro, zippers, technical fabric. Think heightened normcore fashion. Discover the sporty take on silent luxury below.
Red
The bold hue is sticking around for a New Year filled with passion. Perfectly suited for the winter blues, red can easily warm up tonal neutrals or light up a room in monotone color-blocking. Choose from bright scarlet tones or deep burgundies—there’s a perfect hue for everyone. The easiest way to incorporate red into your look? Accessories—shoes, scarves, and gloves. Also, red hosiery is really having a moment right now.
