Every season brings a flurry of new trends, but some stand out for their audacity and aesthetic impact. Here are 5 trends to watch out for in 2024, all poised to be the most talked-about styles of the year.
1. No Pants (Still!)
Kylie Jenner, Hailey Bieber, Bella Hadid – all the A-listers have embraced the no-pants trend in 2023, and it’s not going anywhere in 2024. If you’re not familiar, it’s all about wearing clothing that sparks conversation, often consisting of just underwear, like a fitted slip or boxer shorts, in public settings.
2. Skirt Over Pants
Directly from the 2000s, the skirt over pants (or ‘skousers’ as they are sometimes called) is making a major comeback. This vintage fashion eccentricity is finding its way into both men’s and women’s wardrobes. The latest Stylight report reveals a 37% increase in Google searches for the ‘skirt-over-pants’ trend.
3. Barrel Jeans
This denim cut is set to ignite the same heated debates as skinny jeans did. Barrel jeans, as the name suggests, mimic the curved shape of a barrel. It’s a statement piece, and a sure way to turn heads.
4. Slip Skirt
Recognizable for its low waist and silky aesthetic, the slip skirt, which enjoyed its heyday in the 1990s, is benefiting from the current fascination with visible lingerie. This trend is back in full force, and it’s making its way to the top of many fashion wish lists.
5. Red Tights
In 2024, the age-old question ‘nude or black tights?’ is rendered moot. Both are outdated! Fashion is looking back to the aesthetic codes of childhood, incorporating opaque red tights for a bold, chromatic twist that perfectly encapsulates the season’s vibrant energy.
