If you’re a fashion lover, you’ll already know that few things are worse than being out of touch with fashion. As we wait for spring to wrap up, it’s time to start preparing for the many delights of summer. The first port of call? Your wardrobe.
This article will walk you through all the essential details you need to know about prepping your wardrobe for the summer season. Here you’ll find color and style recommendations to ensure you can stock your wardrobe appropriately. Let’s get right into it.
Fashion: A Shared Journey
Before we start, it’s important to mention that fashion is an experience best enjoyed when shared. As such, having someone you can coordinate these styles with is always a great idea. The best part is the more, the merrier.
So, if you want to meet new people who share your fashion interests, social video platforms are a good place to connect with like-minded fashionistas. You can browse online to learn more about how these platforms can help you find and connect with people with similar fashion tastes.
That said, let’s dive right into the top 5 summer 2024 fashion trends you should know about.
#1 Color: Red
For some time, major design houses focused on subdued tones with hints and streaks of bold colors. However, this is now changing thanks to the latest Barbie movie released last year. This trendsetter introduced a new wave of fashion, entering the scene with a colorful pink splash.
At first, designs were limited to different shades of pink. Now, however, the focus is also expanding to cover other bold colors, especially red. Top designers like Valentino, Gucci, and Alexander McQueen have already introduced some iconic red-colored wear. Others will follow suit, so you can be sure of seeing a lot of red this summer.
#2 Style: Drop Waist
High-waist wear has been in and unfashionable since the 1970s. They were also quite popular last fashion season too, but this time, the direction has gone lower. That’s right, now it’s all about drop waist wear. To be fair, drop waist was also quite trendy last season, but this summer, you can expect it to be even more popular.
The best part about this particular fashion trend is there are already lots of style varieties. This includes drop waist belted trenches, maxi skirts, pleated flowing skirts, and so much more. So, regardless of your taste, you’ll definitely find a design that perfectly fits your fashion needs.
#3 Shorts
Summer usually comes with a lot of heat and a sunny atmosphere. In times like this, you don’t want to wear clothing that covers your entire body. So it will come as a relief to note that shorts are back in vogue, but there’s a difference.
This summer, the kind of shorts you’ll see around are the really short ones. We’re talking mid-thigh level length. Interestingly, there are numerous ways to style this particular fashion item, from oversized tees and coats to crop tops. Also, you can pair your short shorts with knee-high boots, slippers, clogs, and even sneakers. You are welcome to experiment; there are no wrong options.
#4 Everything Oversized
Last season, the oversized dressing trend was limited to tops and blazers. This season, everything’s been oversized! With the fantastic designs that Stella McCartney, Bottega Veneta, and others have already put out, this particular trend will be a huge hit. So don’t be surprised the next time you walk into a store to pick up some new threads and they appear to be bigger. Just go with the flow.
#5 Transparent
If you’re searching for a trend that perfectly merges style with boldness, this one might suit you. Transparent has been making waves since last season, and in 2024, you can expect even more daring designs. However, you may want to put off wearing these to work or at least wear something underneath first. This is to make sure you remain professional-looking enough at work and avoid pesky HR complaints.
Conclusion
Thanks to a series of innovative designs and bold colors, the summer 2024 fashion season is looking fun already. Now, from the above, you already have a great idea of what threads to look out for next time you go shopping. Here’s a tip: alternate with whites if you would rather not pick too many red clothes.
