Whilst Dior was largely black and white as usual, the rest of Paris really went out with most outfits bearing a real pop of colour. Alex Beevis Realistic & Sustainable shirt How wonderful! Normally we look forward to colourful Spring/Summer seasons but it looks as though Winter 24/25 will also be a colourful one. Of course there was still plenty of black and white out there on the streets. Surprisingly Paris was not as suited as usual. The suit is still a great staple to have but the streets saw fashionistas largely concentrating on creative outfits in favour of the regular suit. Standard blazers often being replaced by colourful bomber style jackets or cutely cropped vegan leather jackets. One could almost say that a Courrèges jacket is this seasons fashionista’s must have. On the jewellery front interesting choker style necklaces are making a comeback. Even simply wearing a silk rose around your neck is a great statement. OMG that reminds me of pictures from the 1920’s. When it comes to earrings, jewellery designers are counting on us all having more than one piercing – Dior included. At some stage I felt like every second woman was wearing the Alberta Ferretti Asymmetric Creolen earrings. A newish trend for rings is to wear them at knuckle level. Personally I think it looks great but would be too afraid of loosing mine to follow this trend. Colourful boots, the new trouser boot, designer Mary Jane ballerinas and fancy sneakers are the hot trends when it comes to footwear. The oversized gingham pattern is making a comeback and there were plenty of shorter furry jackets to be seen.

Since attending the shows back in September, Alex Beevis Realistic & Sustainable shirt I’ve recapped well over 10,000 runway outfits (11,542, to be exact) to discern the looks I’d include in this, our bumper spring/summer 2024 fashion trends overview. Some take more time to spot but others jump off the page. And the pretty palette of sky blue was impossible to pass by. According to Tagwalk, light blue looks were up 19% from spring/summer 2023, with 54% more blue looks featuring in the most prevalent designer collections in each city (said prevalence is based on the share of traffic generated by a designer compared to the total traffic of the city). In short, the big names went big on blue. “Like a breath of fresh air, this breezy shade offers a much-needed dose of serenity to the spring/summer palette,” says Natalie Munro, Who What Wear UK news writer. “Fresh and calm, the soft shade injects a youthful edge that can make your styling feel both spirited and sophisticated. On the runways, Alberta Ferretti and Versace favoured monochrome looks, whilst Stella McCartney and Proenza Schouler wove light creams and whites into their cool-blue styling that I just can’t get enough of.” To further confirm this colour shift, fashion shopping destination Lyst reports that searches for blue pieces spiked 125% in the two weeks following Fashion Month. Coincidence? There’s no such thing.
