2024 fashion trend predictions [video]

Thank God and in some ways. Oh, no, I'm getting to the age where

Getting another year older is starting to become daunting like when I was younger. I was excited to get older

I was like the older I am the more independence. I have the cooler. I'll feel this is amazing and now

getting older

Has a little bit more

Weight to it. I'm turning 23 this year and

23 sort of feels like 25 and

25 is getting pretty close to 30

There are gonna be a lot of life changes for me in the next few years

And the new year is sort of reminding me of that. It's this rude awakening that the clock is ticking

And on top of that, I feel like time is just moving so much faster the older I get I feel like New Year's Eve

2022 was

Six months ago

No, it was a year ago. Time is moving really fast and I'm gonna be totally old soon

But that's totally fine because I don't know. I think my happiest years are yet to come

So that's at least a silver lining. I don't know for some reason. I'm already having an existential crisis about the new year

I can't do New Year's resolutions this year. I just can't I can't

I almost just need to pretend like it's not a new year. That's my vibe this year. It's like nope

It's just another day because I don't want to think about how quickly time is moving

But do you know what? I do have the mental bandwidth to do?

Talk about fashion in an honor of us approaching 2024

I thought I would predict some fashion trends for 2024

I'm going to share what I think is going to be trending in

2024 now, I will say it is harder to pinpoint trends nowadays because we're so exposed

to

various niches and aesthetics through the internet and

Trends just don't feel as universal as they used to pre-internet. I assume

because I wasn't alive really before the internet, but

despite how messy and

Overwhelming the fashion world is today

because of the internet

There still are

Trends that you can pinpoint like for example in 2023 we had

Ballet corps. Okay, people were wearing little ballet slippers little leg warmers

Little leotards, you know what I'm talking about. There were ribbons, you know, like ballet-esque sort of pink ribbons happening

Ballet corps definitely happened in 2023

There was the quiet luxury stealth wealth trend which was

pretty much just

Basic clothing. Okay, like simple minimal designs

classic timeless pieces

That are classy

Have always sort of been

somewhere in the zeitgeist

But this sort of style became very trendy in

2023 a lot of people especially celebrities were really gravitating towards

That sort of aesthetic and I'll be honest. I hate

Calling that aesthetic

Stealth wealth quiet luxury old money aesthetic. I hate it because

You can accomplish that aesthetic for so cheap. You can go to a thrift store and

buy

Everything you could possibly need for that aesthetic go get a simple button-down a pair of khakis a

pair of simple well-fitting jeans a pair of old loafers a

Few nice sweaters. You can get all of that from the thrift store for like 30 bucks. I don't like how it's being associated with

wealth though, I understand it in a way because

prior

to this being a trend

Designer clothing expensive clothing was mainly very loud lots of logos blah blah blah blah blah

That was the trend now. It's all about wearing designer clothes

But it not being obvious in a way

I sort of appreciate that sentiment too

but I guess my issue with the name of the trend is that it sort of excludes people who

can't spend

$500 on a button-up like most people can't so that's

So exclusionary it's unfair to me

like it paints this picture that only wealthy people can participate in this trend and I just I fucking hate that so

Anyway, I went off on a tangent. What else did we have in 2023? Oh

sort of a

Soccer or if you don't live in America football aesthetic a lot of people were wearing soccer jerseys in

Soccer shoes like the Adidas Samba was the shoe of the year. I would say

That's sort of a soccer shoe and so many people were wearing soccer jerseys. It was like all the rage

So all of that to say, you know

Yes, it is harder these days to pinpoint what the trends are but in retrospect

there still

Definitely are

Trends happening, you know, it's not like a complete

Mess where it's like everything is happening all at once. We can't put a finger on one thing

So here are my 2024 fashion predictions. These predictions are based on things that I've seen on the runway

over the past few months and

Got feelings that I have my predictions are somewhat rooted in reality

Because I'm kind of seeing what's on the runway and the runway tends to predict what's gonna happen in the world

But I'm mainly going off of gut feeling

Okay, and I'm probably gonna be wrong about everything. I don't know. Maybe not maybe not so we'll see

Okay to start

2010

Abercrombie and Fitch

Aesthetic. I think it's gonna come back. I

Lived through this time. Okay, I remember what everybody was wearing. Okay, it was

skinny jeans

low-waisted

Button-up sort of polo shirts

Everything was really fitted. There was definitely some preppiness going on, you know, the collared shirt

little preppy khaki sort of skirts

very much a New England vibe a

East Coast sort of vibe like upstate, New York

vibes

you know the jackets had these like big buttons and

And

Sometimes were lined with fur. I feel like the Abercrombie and Fitch aesthetic from 2010

Combined preppiness with outdoors enos in a way that felt completely impractical. Okay

like Abercrombie and Fitch is

Not like Carhartt in the way that Carhartt is

actually outdoorsy

Abercrombie is not

Fully preppy. There are skinny jeans. There are mini skirts

there are short shorts, but there are also polo shirts and

Sweaters I

Really think that the entire vibe of Abercrombie and Fitch in 2010 is gonna come back now. Okay, I predict

fitted collared shirts I

Could even

Kind of see skinny jeans. I don't know like I feel like we're due for skinny jeans to come back and Abercrombie really

Loved the skinny jean I could see like tight jeans that have sort of a little bootcut flare coming back

both of these types of jeans being

low-waisted at the highest mid-waisted

Abercrombie did a lot of mini

Denim shorts like super short denim shorts. I could see those coming back to

Abercrombie tended to stick to a very

nautical

Outdoorsy preppy color palette navy blue white dark green dark gray

Etc. You know, I could see that sort of happening. I feel like Abercrombie and Fitch was sort of a romanticized

Version of

living in a preppy place like

Connecticut, you know imagine you're just growing up next to a lake and

You go to this prep school down the road

And so you wear your collared shirt in your skinny jeans in your little boat shoes

With your little sweater and you go out and take a walk by the lake

And then afterwards you go and I don't know like ride a horse or something and then after that

You go to bed and then the next morning you wake up and you put on your cute little

Collared shirt again and you put on your little skirt and your little boat shoes and you go to school like do you know what?

I'm saying

It's that sort of fantasy. I just I feel that coming back. I really really realized that this was coming back

When I went to the spring 2024

Ready to wear Miu Miu show go check out that collection

If you want to see proof that I think that this is coming back if Miu Miu is doing this

It must be coming back

Yeah, it's like this preppy

meets outdoorsy

Fantasy because it's not fully functional. It's it's definitely an

aesthetic

Okay

Next trend is sort of similar. So be patient with me because you're gonna be like Emma you're a broken record

Yeah, we have other stuff to talk about but that comes later

next trend

Sailor, I'm talking about

someone who sails a boat a

sailor

People are gonna be ripping off

That style or not ripping off

But copying that style

Okay, a classic

sailors uniform is

white pants

white sort of button-up top

Maybe with some navy blue details like a navy blue handkerchief around the neck and then a classic sailors hat

which is like a

round sort of cap that has

Sort of a lip at the front of it. It's usually white

Although, you know, they come in various colors and then of course boat shoes. Okay boat shoes

I'm not kidding like Sperry's I

Swear, they're gonna be in in 2024 and I'm not gonna lie

I'm gonna get a pair because I forgot about boat shoes and then my dad and I were talking one day

randomly about what I wore in high school and

Boat shoes were kind of trendy in high school like a few kids

Had boat shoes and we're wearing them around and I was like, I want boat shoes

so I got boat shoes and

I wore them a little bit in high school and I said to my dad

I'm kind of bummed out that I donated those actually I said now that we're discussing them again. I'm realizing how

Cool, they are and how classic they are and then my dad was like is anyone wearing boat shoes right now?

And I was like, honestly, no

No, like no one's wearing boat shoes fast-forward two months later

I go to the Miu Miu show the same one that I just referenced earlier

They're wearing boat shoes and I was like stop this right now

Stop this right now. It's happening. Boat shoes are gonna be back the classic

Brown boat shoe with the little brown lace on top. It's gonna happen. Just mark my words. I just really see

people

Finding inspiration in the classic sailor uniform that we all know and love

Obviously, there's the boat shoe

We already covered that I think people are going to be copying more than that though

You know a lot of times sailor outfits are all white with little pops of Navy or little pops of red. I

Could see that coming back, you know

lots of stripes

like navy blue and white stripes

little pins and stuff on jackets and hats I

Feel like sailors always have little pins on their jacket and even beyond that just nautical themes in general like

Sweaters that have anchors on them or fishes on them

You know quilted looking fabrics that have sort of a beach scene on them

Like I just think nautical in general is gonna come back but more specifically

sailor

aesthetic

All right, this one might be a reach but hear me out we have the French

artist

aesthetic

Let me explain what this is when I imagine it in my head. Okay, I

picture

boxy sort of comfortable pants in neutral colors

black khaki

denim maybe like

sort of a

Classic denim like a classic blue I picture a black and white striped top

I picture a little beret. I picture loafers or ballet flats, but not like a ballet flat

That actually looks like it would be worn for ballet like no pink satin. I'm talking about just a flat

black or maybe red

Shoe, I really think that this is gonna come back

specifically black and white stripes

Horizontal

Horizontal black and white stripes. I feel like that is going to come back in a big way

Like I feel like that is gonna be the pattern of the year. Actually, that's a huge statement

I don't know if I want to make that statement actually now I'm getting nervous

But I really think that black and white stripes are gonna come back and be like a very popular popular popular pattern

because obviously

Horizontal black and white stripes are always somewhat in you know

It's a very classic pattern, but I can see it being like the pattern for a moment and

the cute little French beret hat

With the little things sticking up the little boop sticking up at the top. I

Think berets are underrated. Actually. I just got a few of them

because I realized that

They are deeply underrated

They're so cool-looking

They add so much personality to an outfit

And I don't know. I just I I really like them and maybe even with the pants

Pants that have like paint stains on them and stuff. I

Don't know. I I can see it. We'll see

We'll see if it happens, but the French

artist aesthetic

Might be hot this year. And if it is I fucking told you so and if it's not

Forget I said anything

Okay, next I'm seeing vampire

Come back and I feel like we've already sort of seen

the vampire kind of aesthetic comeback

But I think it's gonna get even stronger in 2024 when I think of

sort of a Count Dracula esque

Look, I think of

black clothes

Maybe with some pops of white

Maybe with some pops of maroon or dark red. I think of

Suiting, you know like black and white suiting. I

think of

lace, I

think of

Triangular shapes. Okay. So like for example

Maybe it's a tight leather vest that has little points

when I think of

Dracula esque fashion. I think of sharp points

pointy clothes I

Think of dramatic trench coats. I think of a sleek black heel

you know, maybe I even think of I

Don't know. I just think the vampy vibe is gonna be happening. I

feel like lace

Hasn't been super popular necessarily

over the past year

Maybe I'm missing something, but I haven't seen a lot of lace. I think lace is going to come back in a big way

lace everything

not lace everything but

people who are into this sort of

Dracula

Aesthetic will definitely be wearing a lot of lace. I can imagine

people wearing clothes

that have

Like a skeleton on it, you know, like I feel like that

Fits into this vampire core as well

Imagine a shirt that looks like it's an x-ray and it can see through to your ribs and stuff

I think that's gonna be really trendy like clothes that have a skeleton sort of printed on it

I actually just bought a shirt like that. Actually. I bought two shirts like that. Oh my god

Wow see like I can't tell what came first, you know the chicken or the egg like did I buy those?

Just because I like them and now I'm saying that I think it's gonna be a trend because I like them or is

It starting and I'm just on the bandwagon without even realizing it

I don't know, but I do think that that's going to be a big part of that trend

Okay. So next one is a complete

random guess I

I mean, I guess it's not a complete random guess, but I'm definitely

Winging it with this one. Okay, but hear me out over the past few years

We've had many trends based on

Sports, okay

There was sort of the soccer core

Happening which was the soccer jerseys the adidas sambas

there was ballet core the whole theme was like

The ballet slippers the leotards the leg warmers the bows

What's next?

There has to be another sport that has its moment in

2024 I have a few guesses

number one

Race car driving aesthetic. Okay. I'm talking about race car jackets. I'm talking about super sporty glasses

I'm talking about

You know

Tight sort of jumpsuit looking outfits

this sort of

Happened already in like

2015 it might be too soon for it to come back

But I think it might come back if it's not that I could sort of see it being hockey too, though

you know the classic hockey jersey coming back in with the sort of

Zigzag laces on the neck. I

Don't know though. There's not really a lot to do with that. Like there's not a lot to rip off from hockey. So I'm not

Sure, it could be baseball

Baseball core am I losing my mind?

Honestly baseball jerseys are really cute. Like I'm not opposed to referencing a baseball jersey, you know the capri pants

super tight the short sleeve

Button-up top

Baseball it could be baseball

But what if it's like ice skating it could be ice skating. It's kind of not that's kind of too similar to ballet core though

Hmm, I don't know

But I do think that a sport is going to have its moment. I just don't know what sport it is

I don't think you'd be

Football. I also really don't see it being basketball. That just does not it just it's not I don't think so

I don't see that happening

tennis

already happened like

2021 2022 if I remember correctly a lot of people were into the tennis

Aesthetic. I love the tennis aesthetic. I think it's very cute, but I think that

That's over for now. That's sort of already happened

Could it be wrestling?

No, like what's what is?

There's really not a lot to pull from that either. So I don't know

We will see we will see what sport ends up being trendy all of a sudden

Okay, next trend has already sort of been happening in

2023, but I think it's going to get really

Really strong in 2024 like even stronger than it is now

sort of the 90s minimalism vibe

like not minimalism in the sense that the people wearing this style only have

two shirts and two pants in their closet

meaning they're living a minimalist lifestyle, but rather

minimalist design

simple designs

simple colors

you know a gray pair of slacks with a black turtleneck a

Long black skirt with a button up top and a black sweater on top. You know what I'm saying like

Simple accessories a little pair of glasses nothing big extreme

Super spicy simple

white tank top and blue jeans like just

Super simple. I feel like the color palette is black dark gray

Maybe light blue denim white

Maybe maroon maybe but that's sort of the color palette little sporty

small frames glasses a

simple loafer or a simple boot

Everything's sort of understated. I don't know. I I think that that's gonna continue

Speaking of trends that I think are gonna continue. I also think this sort of stealth wealth

Quiet luxury trend is going to continue and you know how I feel about that

Okay, I I already went through that so I don't need to go through it again, but I think

Just minimal designs in general are gonna continue in

2024 I

Think there's a lot of fatigue in fashion

Because of the Internet and I think that

That's why a lot of people are reverting to

more minimal designs

more timeless designs

less loud designs because

more loud

overtly trendy

things

get old a lot quicker and

We're being exposed to a lot at all times. So I think

The desire for simplicity is going to continue for probably the next few years to be honest and it's already

happening, but I think it's just going to continue to happen and I'd say the 90s minimalism vibe and

the stealth wealth

Quiet luxury vibe are just two versions of that and I'm not mad

because I could wear dress pants in

loafers and button-ups and sweaters in

Cute little glasses all day long like that's I love that. I don't necessarily like wearing that all the time

But it's definitely a vibe that I go for quite frequently because it's simple. It's effective. It's timeless and

It makes me feel good. You know, I tend to dress that way when I don't want my outfit to overpower me

I want to be the star. I don't want my outfit to be the star. I want to be the star

Okay now completely opposite to that I also think that funny slash ironic

Clothing will continue to be trendy now. There's always

humor somewhere in fashion

Like there's always someone doing fashion in a funny or ironic or weird way, but I think it's going to continue

Last season when I went to the acne studios runway show. I remember one of the models walked out and was wearing this

White t-shirt with a red bra on top of the shirt

Okay, and that was one of the looks and I was like wait, whoa

interesting and then

Fast forward to like a few days ago. I'm shopping at this

Great shop in LA and there's a skirt that has a pair of underwear

Sewed on to the outside of the skirt

So when you're wearing the skirt, it just looks like there's a pair of underwear like slapped on the front

See now that's silly and I think that that's a great example of how

Brands are gonna try to be funny and ironic in 2024

Exposed undergarments. I think that's gonna be pretty big this year

But beyond that I think we can rest assured that brands are gonna do

The classic silly things that they do, you know, whether that's putting a

funny graphic or a funny text on a shirt or that's

making a bag that looks like a

banana or that's

creating a pair of sunglasses that cover like half of your face or that's

Making shoes that are pants like making a pair of pants that has shoes connected to it

So it's like your shoes and pants are connected. Like it's all one piece

Things that are sort of extreme ironic funny. I

Mean, there's always some of that happening somewhere

But I think it's gonna continue and even become more of a thing in 2024 because in 2023 we saw

Some brands have a lot of success

By coming out with products like that. For example

There were these big red boots in 2023 they were called the mischief boots and they looked like

little cartoon boots

There are these huge huge red boots. They were like hideous and dumb and funny and

So many celebrities were wearing them and they were all over the news they're all over whatever

It's incredible for marketing and I think in 2023. We saw a few brands that one that I just mentioned being a great example

Utilizing

Insane products that are

ridiculous to

Market their brand, you know get attention

And so I think there's gonna be more of that in 2024 like even more than there was in 2023

you know, it's a game nowadays for for companies to win the attention of the Internet and it's very hard to do because

There's a lot of entertaining shit on the Internet and so I think a lot of brands are gonna throw

you know a bunch of crazy ideas at the wall to see what will stick and what will go viral and

As a result, there's just gonna be more

silly goofy

Borderline gimmicky pieces out there and I think some of them are fun

You know if it's something that you can truly wear on a consistent basis great

Maybe it's something to buy even if it's a little gimmicky

Sometimes gimmicky things actually can be timeless. It's very rare

but I think what

Distinguishes a gimmicky piece. It's just gimmicky and a gimmicky piece that actually is a good purchase is whether or not it's usable

Can you use it? Can you wear it? If it's something you can't actually wear then it's

Just a gimmick and it's a waste of money

But if it's something you can actually wear and it's something that you genuinely enjoy and think is amusing and funny then

great

Another thing I've been seeing on the runway that's been shocking to me is

Super super high-waisted

pants

skirts

Shorts, etc. I'm talking about super high-waisted like up to the ribcage

Okay, I've seen

these types of pants paired with

bra like tops

I've seen these pants paired with

Shirts just simply tucked in but I've seen it on multiple runways and that is a sign to me that it's coming

super extremely high-waisted pants, I

Personally will probably not participate in this trend. Like I really

Do not like how it looks on me. I

Don't have a very long torso to begin with. I really don't need it to look any shorter. You know what I'm saying?

But you never know I might try something on and be like, this is great, I love this

This actually works really well for me

You know, the thing is these super super high-waisted pants are not like normal high-waisted pants that cut off

Right at your waist, you know right at the middle of your waist

They go a little bit too high on purpose

It's sort of an awkward

Design like it looks awkward on but I think

That's sort of the point

like, you know

Sometimes we wear clothes because they give off a certain feeling and that's the number one priority

Like they give off this certain feeling and that's all we care about. I feel like that's what these pants are for

These pants are not necessarily

Meant to be flattering in a way. They're meant to

have personality and

last but not least I

predict clothes that are

very

Okay

We're talking about

Pants that have a bunch of pockets on them

We're talking about a pair of boots that has a pocket in it

We're talking about a shirt that has a bunch of pockets in it

Clothes that are really useful

You see what I'm saying useful in the sense that you can put a bunch of shit in your clothes

Not actually poop. Okay, but I mean you can put your belongings

Into pockets on your clothes. I think that's what takes clothing from being functional to really functional

It's like whoa, there's a place to put my keys. There's a place to put my phone. There's a place to put this

There's a place to put my snack. There's a place to put that like I

Don't know. I just can see that being a

Trend and whether or not the little pockets are always useful

It's almost irrelevant because I think it's gonna be more of a style thing

Than it is actually a functional thing if that makes sense

This is very much

utilitarian, you know work wear

sturdy fabric

comfy boxy silhouettes

lots of pockets

Maybe even too many pockets. I think that's gonna be happening in 2024 and that's all I got. Okay, that is all I have

We'll see if I'm right or wrong. Let me know your fashion predictions for 2024

I would love

To hear you can DM me at anything goes and let me know what your fashion predictions are for 2024

I really want to know what you think is gonna come up what's going to happen. I am

so

Excited to see that's like the one thing I'm excited about for the new year is like what is gonna be trendy?

No, I mean I'm excited for other things too

But I don't know if there's just something so amusing about seeing what a new year brings in fashion
