Another denim trend: ripped jeans. For instance, at the Dior, KNWLS, and Mowalola shows, jeans were washed out and burnt to the extreme. At Acne Studios, denim jackets and slim-fit pants are covered in cracked white paint and clay, while Proenza Schouler revamped the arty pair of jeans in a bleached version. Finally, Y/Project?s upcycled grey jeans were made from the assemblage of several pairs of trousers.
Gold hoops and chunky gold chains, along with modern takes on pearl jewellery, were the only show in town this year, but that?s about to change. Silver ? already unavoidable this festive season, what with six pairs of silver trousers at every party, minimum ? is mounting a jewellery box comeback. You heard it here first.
Set against that demoralising disparity, and an equally sobering economic and political backdrop, designers played it safe for spring/summer 2024.?The palette was muted, with black and white blotting out the colour-box brights that typically come to the fore for summer collections. Retina-searing red was one of the few tones that managed to make it through the muzzled colour wheel. The post-pandemic era of body positivity ? and the nude looks that came with it ? has largely faded, and with it the broader variety of body types that had begun to populate the runways.
?Look for recycled materials made from ocean plastics, or regenerative materials such as bamboo, seaweed, or other natural fibers,? English says. ?There is also a resurgence in wool, linen, hemp, and other plant and animal fibers that had been pushed to the side during the rise of polyester.?
My favourite theory of 2023, as coined by the stylist Allison Bornstein, goes that the smart way to make your look shine is to wear the Wrong Shoe. A clompy boot with a long skirt, a flip-flop with winter trousers, trainers with a cute dress. The bad news is, this theory is old news; the good news is, there is a handy update for 2024. So Goodbye, Wrong Shoe Theory, and hello Wrong Coat Theory. Which prescribes ? you guessed it! ? spicing up your outfit by wearing a coat that shouldn?t really work. A long tailored coat over a tracksuit, say, or a parka over your party dress. This could be a handy hack for the first few months of 2024, I reckon.
