Happy fashion month! I hope you’ve been enjoying our coverage as much as I have. 2024 NCAA Women’s College World Series Stanford Cardinal Oklahoma City Shirt So far, my colleagues have dissected the only Milan runway trends you need to know, the elite street style outfits from London, the top-tier runway looks from NYC, and much more. As for me, I decided to do a little compare-and-contrast exercise with the newest street style photos from Milan and Paris. So how is the fashion set dressing differently in each city this season? For starters, Milan showgoers heavily favored baggy pants and jeans, while Paris attendees largely went with straighter-leg and more tailored styles. Scroll down to see examples of how the two cities differ right now.

Milan witnessed a big change, too. Gucci’s new creative director Sabato De Sarno held positions at Prada, Dolce & Gabbana and Valentino before taking on this role, 2024 NCAA Women’s College World Series Stanford Cardinal Oklahoma City Shirt 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.
