2024 Fashion Forecasting
A couple of years ago, I predicted the rise of cherry-themed fashion, and it was spot on. Cherry-picked earrings, tank tops, and dresses popped up everywhere. My predictions for monochrome outfits, the perfect striped t-shirt, and black platform shoes also hit the mark. Now, I'm back with my 2024 fashion and style predictions.
First, jewelry. Heart-shaped lockets are back, especially in gold. I adore them; they scream baby doll, tasteful, sincere, and innocence. They pair adorably with summer clothing. Medium thickness chain necklaces are also on the rise, versatile and chic. Charm bracelets are making a comeback too, but think tasteful and delicate, not the stretchy ones from 2002. Do your remember those? I do! However, I was thinking about this months ago, knowing charms would go back in style. Low and behold, they were spotted at TJ Maxx in the jewelry section just yesterday!
Ray-Ban style sunglasses are out. Instead, look for more beveled, possibly square styles. Bigger works too. I also bought a big black bow for my hair, and I'm predicting bows are coming back. It feels very early 2000s, and I am digging it. I’m also going to make a call that denim purses as in. I already bought one! They go quite nicely with almost any outfit.
Fitted athletic shorts with white banded bottoms are making a return. I already have a red pair that looks so cute with a graphic tee. Pair them with Converse, jelly sandals, or athletic shoes for an adorable look. Gladiator shoes and Birkenstocks are out. Foreign fitted t-shirts are rising. Picture a green graphic tee, not skin-tight but fitted, with "Italia" written on it. Simple, international-themed tees. Crop tops are finding their way out, replaced by fitted, abstract, stretchy mesh tops. I’ve never loved crop tops, finding them slightly tacky, but the abstract/mesh trend is more refined and classy.
In makeup, blush is a huge yes. It accentuates your cheekbones beautifully. Keep your look natural. Natural hair and makeup are in; anything too gaudy is out.
2024 is about simplicity with an adorable twist, balancing spontaneity and mindfulness. It’s about embracing your body’s natural curves with confidence. It’s about being yourself! It’s giving Sex and the City vibes! History repeats itself, and this year, it’s all about refining timeless styles with a modern touch.
