The Top Spring 2024 Fashion Trends Are Here—Shop Them All Now

Unlike some previous seasons, it was hard to put finger on an overarching theme—rather, a constellation of moods and influences that when brought together, form a whole. As spring takes shape, micro trends will surely emerge, but for now, the trends that feel immediately wearable can be found below. A few highlights: Icy blue everything (hardly an antidote to red, but a chance complement); new color codes for the minimalist, dramatic trench coats, and sheer delights for the dreamers and romantics in the room. All these and more key spring 2024 fashion trends to know—and shop, below.

Great White Dresses

A little white dress is nothing new for spring—but what is new is the way labels like Tove, The Row, and Ferragamo styled crisp cotton poplin (over pants with loafers or with XXL belts) to evoke that same easy, breezy sensation in in more modern form. You’ll find the same carefree vibe at Ms. Meri Mak, with brands like Frnch, Equipment and Hilary MacMillan, if you’re looking for something for everyday.

Epic Trenches

Is it really spring if we aren’t talking trench coats? Designers revisited the weather-proof staple by reimagining both the silhouette and its styling. At Ferragamo and Saint Laurent we saw coats outfitted with dramatic details—think Holmesian-esque capes and scarve attachments that cloak the neck and chest like armor—or way-high buttoning as seen at Bottega Veneta to shield you from the elements. Off the runway, the look is easily achieved with designs from contemporary labels like Hilary MacMillan., and high street brands alike.

New Color Codes for the Minimalist

Like a Mark Rothko color field painting, designers took to color blocking this season in a major way. Some, like Maximilian Davis at Ferragamo, sent down pre-styled pieces to take the guesswork out of shade matching, while at The Row and Fendi, opposing hues were partnered up for dynamic effect. If you want to play safe, go for a pre-styled piece like Prisca waterproof coat, or alternatively, you can spin the color wheel and try your hand at a runway look by matching up Equipment’s soft blue Quinne top with the Armand Green Trouser. Either way, get ready for a new spring color palette.

Ice Blues

Coming off the etherealness of white is this soft blue, which graces everything from tender, gossamer blouses (Givenchy) to full suiting (Stella McCartney), and leather coats (Proenza Schouler). Dip your toes into these icy waters with styles from Choklate Paris and Equipment or; opt for a black base if you want a look that’s more edgy; soft beige for a more ladylike approach, or bold red if you’re having another go at color-blocking.

“Air-Con” Materials

It’s getting hot in here! No really, it is. Keep in mind earth’s rising temperatures and it becomes quickly clear that we’re might want to wear a whole lot less this spring and summer. A handful of designers have considered and sought to address this with openwork knitting techniques that are meant to behave as wearable air-con. Some styles are best worn layered, like Hilary MacMillan’s crochet dress is prime for sandy getaways—swimsuits sold separately.
