Indianapolis Colts Skull Flower Hawaiian Shirt
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.
Who needs a bodycon mini dress when you’ve got one that’s fully bejeweled? That’s the question posited by another major 2024 fashion trend?rhinestone and sequin-encrusted micro-minis. This happy marriage of boxy mod silhouettes and shimmering finishes ranges from peachy nude and pearlescent paillettes and shift dress structures spotted at Carolina Hererra and Richard Quinn to Gucci’s relaxed-to-the-point-of-pinafore tangerine dream dress featuring a gothic checkerboard of rhinestones. Meanwhile, designers like Christian Cowan, Michael Kors, and Versace incorporated ’70s style touchstones like bell sleeves and abstract floral motifs in their takes on this gilded and groovy trend.
Sequins, lam? and metallic treatments never seem to leave fashion?s trend orbit ? but they gained renewed traction for spring as host city Paris looks ahead to the 2024 summer Olympics. A dose of supermodel sashay certainly helped too: at Ralph Lauren, Christy Turlington looked statuesque in a liquid gold gown, while at Versace, Claudia Schiffer lent chequerboard chainmail a sinuous ease.
Head-to-toe tailoring can look a little bit fancy dress, especially if the person at the next desk has turned up in a tracksuit, so trousers-and-a-shirt is emerging as the thinking woman?s choice. It?s a no-brainer that looks like you have brains. The only downside: the Sunday night ironing is real.
When it comes to jewelry, more is more?a little something I learned from the queen of maximalist jewelry herself, Rocky Barnes. Just like mixing browns and blacks, styling both gold and silver jewelry is one of my favorite 2024 fashion trends on the rise. Dip your toe into this trend with a pair of chunky earrings from brands like Heaven Mayhem and pile strands of vintage-inspired necklaces from Galley Los Angeles to your neckline.
