This post will show you the 10 must-know fashion trends for Spring Summer 2024.
Let’s talk fashion trends.
It may still be winter right now, but spring is just around the corner, and it’s time to start thinking about what our spring wardrobes are going to look like.
It’s never too early to start planning outfits and curating your ideal wardrobe, after all!
Think of this as your comprehensive guide to all the must-know fashion trends and aesthetics of Spring/Summer 2024.
Best of all, all the clothing and accessories you’ll see are under $200, so you won’t have to break the bank in order to freshen up your wardrobe for the spring.
There’s a lot to cover, so let’s get right to it!
Peach Fuzz
The color experts at Pantone have declared “Peach Fuzz” the 2024 Color of the Year, which means you’re going to see peach tones everywhere by springtime!
This soft, peachy shade is all about “bringing a feeling of kindness and tenderness, communicating a message of caring and sharing, community and collaboration,” according to Pantone.
With a contemporary take on a vintage hue, Peach Fuzz feels just *ripe* for the spring and summer.
In addition to Peach Fuzz, these colors are also trending, so you’ll want to add to your shopping list, as well:
- Cherry red
- Matcha green
- Charcoal gray
Get the Look:
Cap-Sleeve Top
This top has a beige undertone that makes it *almost* neutral, but it still has a sweet, peachy hue that embodies the Color of the Year.
With a delicate lace trim and cap sleeves, its feminine design makes it a must-have for Coquettes and Cottage Core girlies alike.
Bustier-Style Mini Dress
This bustier-style mini dress will have you feeling (and looking) peachy thanks to its inviting and on-trend shade.
It features a flattering silhouette with a sweetheart neckline, shaped cups, and a cut-out section at the back.
Wear it with a blazer and sneakers now for a fashion-forward look or with cute sandals in the summertime.
Mob Wife
Move over Clean Girl, we are now in our Mob Wife era.
Wondering what the Mob Wife aesthetic is? Well, it’s almost the exact opposite of the Clean Girl aesthetic.
Think faux fur coats, stiletto heels, oversized sunglasses, leopard print, layered gold jewelry, and anything else that is “extra,” over-the-top, and sexy.
More is more when it comes to nailing this trend!
If you’re looking for inspiration, look to TV and movie characters like Carmela Soprano or Adriana La Cerva from The Sopranos, Karen Hill in Goodfellas, or Connie Corleone in The Godfather, who director Francis Ford Coppola describes as “a sultry, delightful Italian princess.”
(Of course, I should note that this aesthetic is only about copying the look of these ladies and has nothing to do with copying their lifestyles.)
Get the Look:
Leopard Trim Mini Dress
Channel your inner (make-believe) Mob Wife with a sexy slip-style mini dress featuring a leopard print trim.
This hot pink frock is lingerie-inspired and definitely not an everyday piece of clothing, which means it’s perfect for this brazen aesthetic.
To get the full Mob Wife effect, style it with sheer black tights, high heels, and tons of chunky gold jewelry, including oversized hoop earrings and layered pendant necklaces.
Faux Fur Long Coat
Perhaps the most essential “Mob Wife” clothing item is a long faux fur coat. These coats just make you look rich — even though this dark green option is under $160!
It doesn’t get much flashier than a faux fur coat, and that is the whole point of this maximalist trend.
Ditch your wardrobe basics in favor of over-the-top pieces that are guaranteed to turn heads — it’s the Mob Wife way.
Leopard Print
Take a walk on the wild side in 2024 with leopard print. Animal prints are set to be huge this year, with leopard and cheetah prints leading the pack.
While leopard print is also an aspect of the Mob Wife aesthetic, it’s not the only way that it is being styled this season. We are seeing an influx of leopard print jeans paired with sporty sneakers and oversized sweaters for a street-style look that is ultra-cool.
Whether you go for a bold fur coat like Hailey Bieber did at the Super Bowl (above) or opt for a more demure leopard print item, you can’t go wrong either way.
Get the Look:
Leopard Print Pants
Leopard print denim and pants are on the rise, and now is your chance to get ahead of the curve!
These pants have a loose, wide-leg fit and adjustable tie waist for an on-trend silhouette that will pair perfectly with ballet flats or trendy sneakers.
Because the print is so bold, you can balance it out by wearing more basic pieces on top; for example, a plain white t-shirt and a faux leather jacket are closet staples that would be ideal complements to these pants.
Leopard Print Cardigan
Spice up your outfits with a leopard print cardigan. This cute cardi with a mohair-like material is proof that animal prints can indeed be casual and an everyday mainstay in your wardrobe.
Try wearing one with jeans and sneakers for an easy yet fashion-forward look this spring.
Cowgirl Core
It’s official: Beyoncé is in her country music — and fashion — era, and we are all following suit!
In addition to Queen Bey, many other stars like Kim Kardashian and Bella Hadid are embracing cowgirl-inspired clothing, ushering in 2024’s Cowgirl Core aesthetic (or whatever we are calling it).
You may recall last year’s Coastal Cowgirl aesthetic, which was a beachy, more laid-back version of this year’s trend, but in 2024, you’ll want to amp up your Western look with leather, sequins, studs, and sexy silhouettes.
Think cowgirl, but make it glam.
Don’t forget your cowboy hat and some big, bouncy hair curls inspired by Bey, either!
Get the Look:
Denim Corset Top
Put a sexy spin on the Western look with this denim corset top.
Its corset silhouette with cups and button-front design make it ideal for a night out on the town, paired with a silky skirt or some faux leather bottoms for a modern twist.
Thigh High Slouchy Embroidered Cowboy Boots
If these thigh-high slouchy cowboy boots with studded embroidery don’t make you want to dance to Beyoncé’s “Texas Hold ‘Em,” I don’t know what will!
These show-stopping boots will be the ultimate addition to your cowgirl-inspired outfits, especially if you’re headed to any concerts or music festivals soon.
Girly Girl/Coquette
The coquette aesthetic still has us all in a chokehold, so continue to wear all your girliest pieces and embrace your femininity this Spring/Summer.
This viral fashion trend involves plenty of soft pinks, bows, ruffles, lace, and vintage-inspired silhouettes like corsets for an ultra-girly effect that celebrates girlhood.
Get the Look:
Strapless Mini Dress
Embrace your inner coquette with this strapless mini dress featuring all the girly details like lace trim, a corset-like bodice, a lace-up back, and bow detail — plus, of course, its feminine pink hue!
Style the dress with equally girly jewelry, like a rose necklace, and some Mary Jane shoes (more on those later on in this post).
Overdyed Bow Pullover Sweatshirt
Bows are a huge part of the coquette aesthetic, both in the literal sense and now, even in the graphic print sense.
I adore this bow graphic print sweatshirt, which puts a girly twist on a laid-back piece of clothing.
Whether you style it with a feminine mini skirt or keep it casual with sweatpants, you won’t go wrong with this adorable pick.
Hair Bow Pack
We can’t talk about the coquette aesthetic without talking about hair bows!
This is the hottest hair accessory of the moment, and they are the ultimate way to do the coquette trend head-to-toe.
This pack of pink mesh hair bow clips will give you tons of hairstyle options, from braids to half-up, half-down looks that will complement all of your coquette aesthetic outfits.
Office Siren
In stark contrast to the Coquette aesthetic is the Office Siren aesthetic.
This trend features pieces that could belong in an office, like button-down shirts, pinstripe pants, etc. — but made sexy with cropped and mini lengths, cut-outs, and other eye-catching design details.
Opt for pieces in hues like charcoal gray, white, and navy blue and with men’s suiting details like pinstripes and tailoring.
If you really want to embrace this aesthetic, add a pair of small oval or rectangular eyeglasses, also known online as “Bayonetta glasses” (in reference to a Japanese video game character who wears similar glasses) for the total effect.
Get the Look:
Pinstripe Corset Shirt
This pinstriped corset shirt puts a sexy spin on classic office wear. It features a white button-down silhouette with a tailored herringbone striped corset for a sultry, faux-layered look.
By the way, did you know that capri pants are another trend to look out for in 2024?
Yup, it’s true that this Y2K staple is coming back, and these coordinating capri suit trousers can be paired with the shirt for the matching set.
Charcoal Gray Mini Skort
While this mini skort is not appropriate for an office, it’s totally appropriate for the Office Siren trend.
Its charcoal gray hue and and tailored waistband are reminiscent of classic suit pants, but its super short length and cheeky design (the shorts peek out from underneath) give it a sexy look that is better *suited* for a night out with friends, rather than for a cubicle!
Paired with a white button-down shirt and ankle socks, you’ll nail this aesthetic.
Horseshoe or Barrel Jeans
What is the most sought-after denim style for Spring 2024? Horseshoe (also known as barrel) jeans!
These are jeans that “balloon” out at the sides for an exaggerated curved shape.
Wearing horseshoe jeans will allow you to play with proportions when getting dressed; opt for tops with slim silhouettes to balance these jeans out.
Baggy jeans are also still trending in 2024, so don’t put those away anytime soon!
Get the Look:
Mid-Rise Curved Jeans
Make a statement with this pair of black mid-rise curved jeans.
Their exaggerated curved silhouette makes them incredibly eye-catching and trendy, yet their denim construction keeps them casual.
Wear them during the day with low-top sneakers or booties, or dress them up with heels for a night out.
Extreme Baggy Mid-Rise Jeans
A shade of classic blue denim is going to really emphasize the curved, horseshoe-like shape of the jeans.
And while these jeans are trendy, their extreme bagginess makes them comfy — because no one likes being squished into a too-tight pair of jeans!
Buckled Shoes
It’s time to buckle up!
Without a doubt, the hottest shoes for the upcoming season are buckled flats and Mary Janes. These shoes have a retro-inspired look that feels modern, thanks to edgy buckle details.
Whether you opt for a pair with one statement-making buckle or multiple thinner buckle straps, you can’t go wrong.
Consider picking a pair in an eye-catching color like red to give your outfits a stylish pop of color.
Get the Look:
Red Slingback Buckled Flats
I am obsessed with these red slingback flats with double buckles.
Firstly, they are the perfect hue of cherry red, which is one of the most stylish colors right now. Secondly, they feature sleek, pointed toes contrasted with edgy buckled straps for a cool, contrasting effect.
Even if you wear a basic, all-black look, these flats will instantly elevate your ensemble.
Patent Mary Janes
Classic Mary Janes have gotten an upgrade this season, and this mid-heel pair with triple buckled straps is a cool, modern take.
Look for pairs with block heels and multiple buckles when shopping for spring.
You can play up the academia aesthetic of the Mary Janes by wearing them with some white ankle socks for a fashion-forward look. These will also pair well with Office Siren-inspired outfits.
Statement Stud Earrings
While hoop earrings will always be a classic pick, this season, it’s all about statement stud earrings.
Just look to celebs like Lori Harvey and Hailey Bieber, who have been spotted rocking oversized stud earrings that resemble clip-in styles from the ’80s.
These earrings give an instant dose of retro glamour to outfits and also work well with Old Money aesthetic outfits since they appear so luxe.
Get the Look:
Square Ribbed Earrings
How chic are these square ribbed gold earrings?
Classy with a vintage vibe, they will instantly upgrade your outfits thanks to their oversized square shape and ribbed design.
Multi-Ridged Fluid Gold Stud Earrings
Go for the gold with these gold multi-ridged fluid stud earrings.
Their intricate, chunky design makes them look incredibly upscale, and they are sure to add an eye-catching element to your ensembles in one easy step.
Classy Cardigans
Though the Mob Wife aesthetic may have you thinking otherwise, the Quiet Luxury/Old Money aesthetic is still going strong.
This season’s must-have item is classy cardigan sweaters featuring oversized gold or silver buttons, often with decorative emblems that give them a luxurious look.
To me, these give off a vintage Chanel vibe that is as chic as it gets, so needless to say, I love this trend!
Get the Look:
Golden Button Knit Cardigan
Go for a classy, Quiet Luxury-inspired look with this knit cardigan featuring embossed gold buttons and a contrasting trim.
Its black and ecru color palette is incredibly classic, which means that this piece won’t go out of style… basically ever.
Keep the cardigan elevated by wearing it with a pleated skirt or trousers, or keep it casual with denim.
Textured Cardigan
When we think of cardigans, we tend to think of sweaters, but that isn’t your only option.
This textured cardigan has a tweed-like look (again, giving major Chanel vibes) for an elevated effect, and its light blue hue is perfect for springtime.
