Spring is on the horizon and as the warmer temperatures and sunshine sneak back into our lives, it’s time to put our winter wardrobe away. But as you look to turn in your winter clothes for spring items, you might be wondering, what is “in” this spring? The early spring/summer runways of 2024 have set the tone for what to expect over the next several months. Past trends like animal print and fringe are making their comeback with a high-fashion twist. Trench coats, florals, and everyone’s favorite 90s jeans and basic tee are remaining as staples for the year to come. Preppy looks and both blue and metallic will take center stage as the go-tos for 2024. Hot off the runway, these are the anticipated fashion trends everyone will be rocking this spring.

Sky Blue
Spring is known for pastels, and as seen on many runways already in 2024, an icy, pastel blue is the color of choice this year. This light blue will elevate any outfit and is versatile in the sense it can be used for tops and bottoms and still add the same classy element to your look.
Trench Coats
While we may be tucking the puffer coats away til next year, you are likely still reaching for a lightweight jacket to add to your outfit. And when you do, reach for a trench coat. Trench coats are not new to being at the top of the trending lists, but this year, statement trench coats will be the new “it” item. Coats with extra details in the buttons or trim will take the place of the more basic options on the market.
Fringe
From tops, to skirts, to dresses, to coats, fringe is back. These fringed items debuted on the runways and the flare of this detail is bringing us back to the boho looks of the early 2010s, with an added touch of elegance. Even luxury brands are embracing fringe detailing in their pieces. Spring is playful and fun just like the fringe, so now is the perfect time to embrace this look.
90’s Nostalgia
The classic 90’s high rise jeans and basic ribbed tops aren’t going anywhere. This basic look is becoming the new symbol of quiet luxury. While minimalist in essence, the look can be dressed up or down. You may think of this as last year’s trend, but the simplicity and versatility of this look remains all the rage. Dig these items out of the depths of your closet or grab your wallet and add them to your lineup.
Animal Prints
The latest “mob-wife” trend is likely a driving factor in the increased popularity of leopard print this year. Prints are on shirts, shoes, dresses, and bags and we’re not mad about it. If the patterns are intimidating to you, try it out on shoes or a purse first. Soak in the compliments and then invest in a statement piece
Sheer
Light and airy just like the incoming weather; sheer tops, dresses and layers have found their way to the runway and will surely be making their way into closets everywhere. Transparent fabrics, laces and open knits, and the tease of skin that comes along with these pieces is reminiscent of the shedding of layers we experience each spring.
Metallics
Unlike the pastels of your typical spring wardrobe, all things sparkly will be just as popular this year. Golds may be the top choice for your jewelry, but its also coming to take over your wardrobe. Similarly to the patterns, start small with a gold accessory like a bag or shoes, to test this new trend out before stepping out in head to toe gold.
Preppy
From athletic looks to everyday styles, preppy is back. The matching sets and the revamp of the boring polo shirt has the preppy style looking better than ever. Not many trends can embody both athleisure wear and business wear, but this preppy look does just that. Grab a cute tennis skirt, or a sweater polo to use for work, and you’ll have the “preppy” look down before you know it.
Florals
No stranger to the spring season is florals. These elegant detailed designs are a staple that embraces feminism and the feeling of warmth that accompanies spring time. We will continue to see florals be center stage this spring time, and they will continue to bloom through the summertime.
Spring is a time to embrace the changes that come with the new year, including those of the latest fashion trends. Whether you’re most excited about the playful fringe, animal patterns and metallics, or the more simple 90s nostalgia, sky blues and trench coats, there is a trend that will fit everyone’s style needs this season.
