“As someone who is self-diagnosed as ‘chronically online’, I’ve seen a lot of flash-in-the-pan trends over the past few seasons,” A Little Dirt Never Hurt Unisex T-shirt, Sweatshirt, Multiple Colorways – Cross-gender Fashion says Elinor Block, editorial lead at luxury fashion gaming company Drest, which enables its users to create infinite outfit possibilities in the metaverse. “The past year we saw Barbiecore, ‘blokecore’ and ‘tomato-girl summer’ emerge as some of the bigger, zeitgeisty aesthetics adopted by Gen Z and the TikTok crowd. And whilst some are rooted in major trends, when it comes to real life, there’s no doubt that longevity and items that work season after season are a bigger draw. “When playing with clothes in Drest, however, there’s definitely a different kind of approach I take to dressing. The virtual world allows me to style looks that I might not have considered before with more out-there pieces from high-octane brands such as David Koma or Balmain—I haven’t been able to stop thinking about that cherry-red, rose-covered dress that I spied on the S/S 24 runway. It gives me a chance to be more experimental and see how I can move that into my IRL wardrobe without taking too much of a risk.” This, dear reader, is what the modern-day dressing-up box looks like. As always, any piece you invest in, be it inspired by the trends below or otherwise, should only be purchased if you intend on keeping it in your wardrobe for a very, very long time. I’ve gone to great lengths to cherry-pick the ones that have a chance.

Grab your exfoliating mitt and fake tan—shorts season is upon us and the stakes are high! A Little Dirt Never Hurt Unisex T-shirt, Sweatshirt, Multiple Colorways – Cross-gender Fashion “Last year, underwear became outerwear and our minis shrunk to micro size, so it comes as no surprise that shorts have joined the party, making a bold comeback on the catwalks,” says Wheatland-Clinch. “What I think is most exciting—apart from the prospect of showing a bit more leg, a bit more often— is that as well as the usual summer line-up of linens and crochets, the likes of Tom Ford and Gucci have hiked up hemlines with a touch of tailoring, embracing suit styles and bringing belts back into the equation. Now, this leggy trend has far more potential to become a transitional staple, as opposed to one that will be forever bound only to our summer wardrobes.”. “If 2022 was the year of the micro skirt, 2024 will be the year of the micro short,” confirms Speed. “As fashion continues to take inspiration from Y2K trends, brands like Fendi and AZ Factory have been ushering us into a new era of shorts; an ever so slightly more modest take on 2023’s hot pants obsession.”
