Milan witnessed a big change, too. Official Detroit Red Wings Maddox City Capsule Shirt Gucci’s new creative director Sabato De Sarno held positions at Prada, Dolce & Gabbana and Valentino before taking on this role, which catapulted him and his first collection for the brand into the spotlight last September. Buyers, editors and celebrities descended upon the Italian city to take in the spectacle—ask any fashion devotee without a ticket and they would likely have told you they’d give away their Birkin to have a front-row seat at this show. There’s no denying that De Sarno’s predecessor Alessandro Michele kept Gucci on the fashion map with his geek-chic sensibilities; an aesthetic that would define a moment in fashion history. Still, moments pass, and we saw De Sarno usher Gucci into a new era, one that places more value on essentials over eccentricities—a notion we’re seeing across the rest of the industry. A business built upon the customer’s desire to be seen in shiny new things will always have its issues. However, the thing that felt “new” this season was that some things just didn’t change at all. Perhaps the most noteworthy takeaway was that trends don’t seem to hold the same power that they used to. I’m generalising, of course—things get meta real fast if you so much as take a peek into the no-trends-actually-being-a-trend rabbit hole—but it feels as if creating trends for the sake of it could be a thing of the past. “The spring/summer 2024 collections have shown a continued commitment to 1990s nostalgia and the extraordinary everyday, where everyday items are elevated to exceptional levels of design and style whilst remaining chic and comfortable,” observes Net-a-Porter’s market director Libby Page. And she’s right. The market has experienced a shift of tectonic proportions in recent years where a genuine focus on quality over quantity and investing in things that last has become a priority for previously frivolous shoppers. The latest collections reflected this.

We love jeans. Jeans are our friends. Official Detroit Red Wings Maddox City Capsule Shirt They give us endless outfit ideas when our inspiration is running dry, and they even translate to our wardrobes year-round. They’re a true-blue closet staple. However, there are certain trends that jeans just don’t jive with as well as others. Chalk it up to its laid-back associations, but sometimes denim just doesn’t do the trick, which is why it’s helpful to consider the full range of options in front of you. This spring, you may have a trend or two (or seven) that you’re eyeballing. However, investing in a trend is only the first step because as we all know, the hardest part is tackling the styling aspect. This is where today’s denim focus comes into play. While reaching for the closest pair of crop-flare jeans might feel like the best option when test-driving your trend of choice, sometimes it’s worth brainstorming a bit further. Ahead, we’ve highlighted a small pool of pieces that look wonderful paired with non-denim accouterments. Scroll down to find out what they are and to shop the trends. If you’ve yet to try the belt-bag (aka fancy-fanny-pack) trend, rest assured because it’s not too late. Unfortunately, fastening the strap inside of your jean loops might prove too fussy. Instead, layer it over an easy spring dress for a cool look that also happens to be hands-free.
