Having analysed the spring/summer 2024 fashion trends for months now (literally), Respect Is Earned Loyalty Unisex T-shirt, Sweatshirt, Multiple Colorways – Cross-gender Fashion I’m here to tell you about the ones that are genuinely wearable and will truly affect your wardrobe for the next six months (and beyond, if I have anything to do with it). There’s a lot to talk about for S/S 24, but this hasn’t always been the catwalk way. If all the world’s a stage, Fashion Month has long been the costume cupboard—a trove of froth and tulle, sparkle and glitter designed to catch the eye and hold it. A dressing-up box that, although delightful and entertaining to lose yourself in, doesn’t always hold up in reality. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing—we could all use some fabulous escapism from time to time—but, ultimately, when you venture out from the sanctity of your wardrobe, you need to be able to live in these creations. At least in the physical realm—we’ll get into the virtual later. For spring/summer 2024, I have to applaud designers for creating collections that, yes, hold beauty, but also have a place in the everyday. But first, let’s travel back to September and October of last year and reflect on how things unfolded. Across the four fashion capitals—New York, London, Milan and Paris—a total of 299 designers showcased their collections, 19 new to the Fashion Month circuit, compared to 247 for spring/summer 2023 (credit to the fashion data analysts at Tagwalk for doing these calculations). Growth is a good thing, especially in creative industries, but I found this hard to believe, personally. Off the top of my head, I can think of a handful of designers who couldn’t secure budget to show, or whose brands were lost to greater financial struggles (I still can’t move on from the Christopher Kane-shaped hole that permeated the London schedule). With growth always comes change, and perhaps one of the biggest this season came in the form of a renunciation. Alexander McQueen’s Creative Director Sarah Burton announced that the spring/summer 2024 collection would be her last after 26 years at the brand. Burton had respectfully taken the helm after the British institution’s iconic and groundbreaking founder Lee Alexander McQueen passed away in 2010, with her subsequent collections serving as a love letter to his influence and precociousness. Cate Blanchett attended, Naomi Campbell walked and a standing ovation rang out during the final, tender moments of Paris Fashion Week.

Animal print happened to win Trend of the Year last year, Respect Is Earned Loyalty Unisex T-shirt, Sweatshirt, Multiple Colorways – Cross-gender Fashion and according to your votes and the votes of the critics, its popularity has yet to decrease. This year, however, we saw new animal prints get tossed into the mix like cow print and tons of zebra. The resurgence of animal print last year felt fresh, but now, according to Law Roach, it’s continuing to be successful “because it’s a neutral.” The fashion set taught us quite a lot this year about how to wear this print trend in a way that continuously feels forward and innovative, particularly with the rise of prints other than leopard. Two straight years of success not only within our Street Style Awards but with the industry as a whole has proven that this print trend is one that is well-liked and accepted by people all over the world and with all different styles. “Animal prints, especially leopard and snakeskin, are a fun way to add pizzazz to an outfit,” said a reader. Even if you’re wearing jeans and a T-shirt, something like snakeskin boots or a zebra coat can revamp your look in seconds flat. Suddenly, even the most basic of outfits becomes street style–ready.
