Having analysed the spring/summer 2024 fashion trends for months now (literally), Leland Honeyman Jr Randco Young’s Building Racing shirt 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.

Not to be that stereotypical editor that’s always rambling about French fashion, Leland Honeyman Jr Randco Young’s Building Racing shirt but the girlies get it. I know it’s so passé to ramble about the magic of visiting Paris or how French style has a grip on the zeitgeist, but I don’t care. I know for a fact that some of the best trends and outfit inspiration come from this fashion capital, and there’s no greater proof of that than Paris Fashion Week. Twice a year, we’re served up not only a bevy of new trends that French women will champion and the fashion set at large but we’re also given ample street style looks. And fall/winter 2022’s collection presentations were no exception. Beyond Rihanna showing up to Dior in sheer lingerie slip, we saw some of the best street style looks to come out of Paris in a hot minute. It could be the fact we’ve not been able to travel as much, but we saw the fashion set bring it. They wore everything from feathers and fringe to opera gloves and tinted shades to suits and gowns. And while the clear consensus can be that dressing up is back, if you’re still wondering what the most noteworthy looks to come out of Paris fashion week was, you’ll want to keep reading. Ahead, I’ve taken it upon myself to scour through hundreds of photos to round up the six trends that dominated the street style scene in Paris this season. These trends were beloved by the attendees and are shaping up to be big for the rest of the year.
