Cartoon character with santa hats and ornamented cup Ceramic Mug

Though trousers have been significant for the past few seasons, Cartoon character with santa hats and ornamented cup Ceramic Mug all signs point to the fact that skirts are well and truly back for 2024 (I check Google Trends on the daily, so I know you’re searching for them!). The skirt’s hold on spring/summer 2024 is undeniable, as according to Tagwalk, there are 33% more of them this season compared to spring/summer 2023. Styling-wise we saw everything from simple tees and vests to bikini-style tops, but the most elegant way to wear your skirts right now is with a blouse. Don’t take my word for it though—instead, bank on Ferragamo, Louis Vuitton and Carven. “Sorry suiting, but the most commanding look this season comes from the unexpected pairing of loose, languid layers,” says Remy Farrell, Who What Wear UK fashion editor. “Where some see strength in boxy silhouettes and graphic lines, there is an undeniable assurance and quiet confidence to tucking a sheer blouse into a streamlined skirt—a clear sign that unabashed femininity is showing up and out this season, and if anything convinces you to trade in trousers, it will be that Givenchy moment [pictured above].” Nothing says springtime like white dresses; they really do make up the DNA of our wardrobes in the warmer months. What’s so fresh about S/S 24’s version of this classic is that it doesn’t just come courtesy of cotton. In fact, you’ll find it in chiffon, silk, taffeta and gauzy knits. “Winter might be all about the LBD, but for spring/summer 2024, white dresses in all iterations are coming to the fore once again, with plenty of designers honing in on statement, snowy pieces that can be worn by everyone,” says Who What Wear UK managing editor Poppy Nash. “Whether you’re a romantic who is a fan of fairytale-esque, frothy, floor-length numbers (like me) or are a minimalist who prefers elegant and chic, clean lines in the form of structured minis and midis, there’s something for you here. You’ll often see 2024’s signature white dress combined with other key trends for the season, such as sheer fabrics, romantic details like draping and flat footwear, too. Combine them all for an outfit that shows you really know your stuff.”. “S/S 24 is all about simplicity-meets-sophistication, and if you’re looking to buy one statement-making piece this season, make it a white dress,” concurs Speed. “There’s nothing quite as eye-catching as an all-white look, and it’s a piece you can easily tailor to your own style.”
