One of the most rewarding aspects of my job is overseeing our monthly street-style photo shoots. IND All-Star ’85 Tee For over a year, we’ve closely documented the stylish goings-on of people around the country. From the inherently cool ensembles styled out on the cobbles of Brick Lane in London to the layered-up looks captured in the narrow, winding streets of Edinburgh’s Old Town, spotlighting what people are really wearing in real-time has become a passion of mine, one that gives me significantly more satisfaction than scrolling on social media. That might come with its fair share of entertainment value, but there’s only so much that I can take away from the outfits snapped through a filtered lens. If I want to adopt a look for myself or add something similar to my wardrobe, I like to take those cues from people who have dressed just for the sheer love of it, not solely for their feeds. This brings me to our next street-style shoot, perhaps our most exciting yet. Those familiar with my name in the byline (because—let’s face it—it’s pretty memorable) will probably be able to connect it with the majority of our French-style stories. For the entirety of my career, I’ve relished analyzing the outfits of our sartorially blessed Gallic cousins, coming up with myriad ways to mirror their formerly imitable style. When I think about it, I’ve probably written enough words on French fashion to fill a whole book. (That’s a project for another day, perhaps.) So you can imagine my sheer delight when the Who What Wear team asked me if I’d want to take a more acute look at the style of French women in the South of France by way of our very own street style shoot. As a self-confessed Francophile, I was excited to see the summer style of the South of France’s inhabitants.

Though trousers have been significant for the past few seasons, IND All-Star ’85 Tee 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.”
