The New Year has yet to arrive, but we need to prepare not only for the celebration.
Now is the time to think about updating your wardrobe to stay on trend. Let’s look at fashion trends and find out what is best to wear in the coming year.
General Trends
Let’s start by looking at general trends in the fashion world, such as preferred colors and materials:
- Beige, cream, brown. Shades from this range are at the heart of the sensational old-money trend due to their softness and noble restraint. They are universal and, therefore, will easily find a common language with almost all other colors in your wardrobe. At the same time, in autumn and winter looks, this range looks like a bold decision and, although the trend has been going on for several seasons, it still helps to be more noticeable among those who, according to the classics, wear black, dark blue and dark gray.
- Red, burgundy. Wine shades are a traditional fall trend. This year, the burgundy tones were accompanied by an expressive red color. And with it, designers advise being as decisive as possible, including it in images, not just as an accent. They give red total bows the green light: take note.
- Emerald. It’s the same autumn classic as burgundy. Expressive, deep, rich – he has all the qualities to make you fall in love with him. With emerald, you can get the same terse, everyday look as with primary colors, such as black, but the result will look much more enjoyable. And it should be noted that it goes well with all the primary autumn shades, including leafy red and mustard.
- Gray. In autumn, all shades of gray are relevant. But this time, the shade of wet asphalt is in the foreground: not too light or dark. It has depth and extraordinary expressiveness, with which “gray” looks in this color are not just a casual base, although it is the primary solution for occasion dresses.
- Pink. Barbie-core probably left no one indifferent. And although the sensational film has already disappeared from the radar, the trend for pink is still in force. In addition to the doll-pink shade, others from this range are also relevant: fuchsia, dusty pink, and many others. It’s worth trying life in pink.
As for materials, denim, eco-leather, fur, knitwear, and sequins will be at the peak of fashion. The denim trend transforms every season. Autumn-winter 2024 is no exception. This time, the conclusion is that there should be more denim! There are calls to include it in total looks, and the number of ways to create it is growing.
Leather can create contrast even in the most neutral shades, such as black. The contrast between soft and brutal is if you combine leather with a fluffy sweater, between delicate and daring if the skin is in the same image with lace or thin knitwear. With leather (both natural and eco-friendly), your outfit will be spectacular and practical because it is a windproof material that is comfortable in the cold.
Faux fur is at the peak of popularity. The plush fur is delightful, making things a little toy-like. It doesn’t bother designers at all. Moreover, they only enhance this impression with bright fur colors, choosing blue, turquoise, green, and fuchsia. However, coat-style fur coats are also produced in natural colors.
Silhouettes and Styles
Layering is a natural trend for autumn and winter. When it’s cold, you just want to wrap yourself in a couple of warm blankets, so when going outside, you can easily dress in three or even four layers. And the main thing is that they only support it on the catwalks. Moreover, the most relevant thing is to layer on top of each other things with different hem levels, asymmetry, and different textures from fabrics that create drapery. So you can experiment freely with this trend.
Although an emphasized waist characterizes this silhouette, we are discussing something other than Dior’s new look. The emphasis has shifted: coats, dresses, and jackets are narrowed at the waist, while the shoulders are widened, making them more voluminous and masculine. It makes the hourglass curves even more pronounced, and the silhouette looks impressive.
It would seem that the oversized trend is no longer surprising. However, new facets are opening up for it too. What is relevant today is grotesque oversize when it seems that a thing is not just voluminous but a couple of sizes too big, if not more. Broad shoulders and loose sleeves in which your arms “get lost.” In a word, these are things in which you “drown.” At the same time, the more “classic” oversized is still in fashion.
Wide fit heels will be popular in shoes. Platforms are another more comfortable alternative to heels and stilettos. The platform also increases height and visually lengthens the legs while boasting much greater stability.
Changes in Inclusive Fashion
Plus-size girls can choose an outfit that best suits their wishes. In their collections, stylists presented models suitable for creating casual, business, evening, and sports styles. Lovers of romantic looks will be able to remain true to their chosen style. A dress complemented with multi-layered ruffles will help with this. You can avoid the effect of excess volume with the help of narrow parts located one above the other.
A win-win option is an empire-style dress with a high waistline and a slight flare downwards. Trendy asymmetry can be realized if you choose a maxi-length dress. You can create a unique design by tying the hem on one side. You can learn more about hot trends in this article.
Conclusion
As you can see, most trends are a natural development of current fashion. You will only need a little effort to adapt your existing wardrobe to the fashion demands. Now you know what to look for when choosing accessories and clothing. You can also see additional recommendations for creating a fashionable look.
