When temperatures rise and faux fur is removed from the agenda, Xavi Rbl Player Shirt designers look for new ways to add texture to their collections—pieces with movement that bring the runway to life. And this season, fringe proved to be the order of the day. Taller Marmo’s creations have become beloved by fashion people in recent years, and now it seems everyone else wants a slice of the action, too. “Fringe is often used to bring an element of fun texture to an otherwise basic outfit, which might explain why it was everywhere this past party season,” says Annie Wheatland-Clinch, assistant social media editor at Who What Wear UK. “Still, as much as a tasseled treasure can feel like a special touch, it can quickly veer into generic after the first few wears. This is why this season’s array of contemporary interpretations is a welcome refresh—from bright colours and metallics to playful plastics and ropes, pieces from Jil Sander and Celine give us hope that this novelty trend has staying power, at least for another season or two.” Grab your exfoliating mitt and fake tan—shorts season is upon us and the stakes are high! “Last year, underwear became outerwear and our minis shrunk to micro size, so it comes as no surprise that shorts have joined the party, making a bold comeback on the catwalks,” says Wheatland-Clinch. “What I think is most exciting—apart from the prospect of showing a bit more leg, a bit more often— is that as well as the usual summer line-up of linens and crochets, the likes of Tom Ford and Gucci have hiked up hemlines with a touch of tailoring, embracing suit styles and bringing belts back into the equation. Now, this leggy trend has far more potential to become a transitional staple, as opposed to one that will be forever bound only to our summer wardrobes.” “If 2022 was the year of the micro skirt, 2024 will be the year of the micro short,” confirms Speed. “As fashion continues to take inspiration from Y2K trends, brands like Fendi and AZ Factory have been ushering us into a new era of shorts; an ever so slightly more modest take on 2023’s hot pants obsession.”
Xavi Rbl Player Shirt, hoodie, sweater, longsleeve and ladies t-shirt
We often see metallics take over the winter collections, Xavi Rbl Player Shirt but this spring, there’s a surprisingly fresh range of shimmering pieces that are here to transform metallics into a perennial favourite. Between lamé and satin, brocade and leather and sequins and jewels, never before has the trend been so thoroughly explored. An audible gasp could be heard when Tove’s liquid-gold dress came round the corner, whilst La Pointe’s fabulous silver sequin two-piece sent the paparazzi flashbulbs into a frenzy. “Whilst sequins and metallics never really go out of style, for spring/summer 2024 they’ve had a revamp, with liquid-gold dresses, shimmering chainmail-style creations and glistening silver tailoring adorning the catwalks alongside plenty of sequins and a hefty dose of lamé,” says Nash. “It might not be the most practical of trends—you’re unlikely to see me in a fabulous sparkling two-piece on my commute, I’m afraid—but what I love about it is that it really brings the joy back into dressing. Put on the pieces you normally reserve only for best and shine!”
