If 2023 saw a return to refined glamour, quiet luxury and a pared down take on sensuality, then 2024 will see a continuation of these trends with fresh updates. Of late, the minimal and mildly grunge 1990s and Y2K eras have made a comeback, in the shape of slip dresses, cashmere twin sets as well as leather micro shorts seen across luxury and high street labels. Experts, including designers and stylists, observe that these two decades will dominate the coming year too. What's more, sheercore, which has been a key trend since 2021, will take centre stage next year as well, with designers continuing to style naked dresses appliquéd with 3D ornamentation.
We asked some designers and stylists to share their thoughts on what trends will continue in the new year:
KEEP IT SIMPLE AND REFINED
Creative director Sabato De Sarno at Gucci brought back the old school luxe synonymous with the brand's Tom Ford era for his spring-summer 2024 collection. From logo-ed leather pencil skirts to cocktail coats accented with delicate fringes-there was a nod to simplicity, detailing and refinement.
Shivan Bhatiya, founder and head designer at label Shivan & Narresh, says fashion has undergone a significant transformation, moving from extravagant and loud runways to a focus on functionality.
"The shift towards muted tones and simple silhouettes is now prevalent in global fashion trends. While this mood may not entirely translate to India, where vibrant styles persist, there's a noticeable trend towards functional silhouettes and 'it' bags," he says.
