What is the best way to describe Winter 2024 fashion? It’s as if the runways hit the refresh button, blending cosy classics with bold statements and tossing in a few surprises to keep us on our toes. Whether you’re revamping your closet or just eyeing what’s new, these winter fashion trends have something for everyone—from the boho enthusiast to the minimalist lover. So, grab a hot cocoa and let’s break down what’s in store for your winter wardrobe!
Must try fits
Boho 3.0 Winter 2024 Edition
Boho is back, but forget the 2014 Coachella vibes. This is Boho 3.0—remixed, refined, and undeniably chic. Designers like Chloé and Isabel Marant have embraced the aesthetic with fresh takes on crochet, fringe, and floaty fabrics. We’re talking retro florals, rich suede, and faded denim that even Sienna Miller would approve of. The modern boho girl is less “lost at a music festival” and more “glamorous world traveller who shops at markets in Marrakesh and Paris.”
Denim on Denim
Remember when the denim-on-denim look was the punchline of fashion jokes? Well, this season, it’s the punchline we’re all proudly wearing. Labels like Schiaparelli and Moschino showed blue-jean ensembles that take the “Canadian tuxedo” to new heights. Expect plenty of denim-on-denim outfits ranging from Western-inspired shirts to trendy long skirts. If Britney and Justin could do it back in 2001, you can definitely rock it now.
Riding Boots
If you haven’t already dusted off those tall, structured riding boots, now’s the time. This equestrian-inspired footwear trend is set to dominate the season, pairing perfectly with flowy fall dresses, skinny jeans, or anything else in your autumn closet. They add a touch of sophistication and a pinch of practicality to any look. So, saddle up—because riding boots are ready to take you places (even if it’s just to brunch).
Dark Cherry Accessories
Burgundy, oxblood, claret—call it what you want, but one thing’s for sure: dark cherry is the colour of the season. This rich, sultry hue is popping up on bags, shoes, and pretty much anything that can be dyed. From Coach to Gucci, designers agree that this deep shade is a must-have. Plus, it’s the perfect colour for hiding the occasional red wine spill. Fashionable and functional? We’ll drink to that.
Studs, Studs, and More Studs
Studs are back in a big way, and no, we’re not talking about 1980s punk rock. From belts to boots, the hardware is everywhere this season. Loewe and Chloé are adding studs to bags and jackets, making them more statement pieces than subtle accents. But the best part? Studs are a great way to add some edge to your wardrobe without committing to an all-black look. Just keep the rest of your outfit simple to avoid looking like a walking DIY project.
Prep School Redux
Fashion has gone back to school, and it’s more polished than ever. Preppy blazers, full skirts, and button-down shirts are making their way into everyday wear, thanks to Miu Miu and Tommy Hilfiger. The key to nailing this look is all in the layering: think V-neck sweaters over crisp shirts, paired with relaxed trousers or pleated skirts. This trend is perfect for those days when you want to look like you’re meeting your professor for a coffee, but with way more style.
Chunky Loafers
After a brief stint in fashion’s time-out corner, chunky loafers are back and bigger than ever—literally. These bold, stacked shoes with exaggerated soles and hardware are stomping their way through fall fashion, courtesy of Gucci and Victoria Beckham. Want to make a statement without towering in stilettos? Chunky loafers are your new best friend this winter 2024. Pair them with straight-leg jeans or a trench coat to let your footwear do all the talking.
Leopard Print
Animal print is back, and this time it’s more sophisticated and versatile. Leopard coats, blouses, and skirts made waves on the runways of Dior and Isabel Marant, offering a glam twist on a classic print. You can go all out with a head-to-toe leopard ensemble or keep it subtle with a printed bag or scarf. Either way, it’s a trend that’s as fierce as it is fun.
Butter Yellow
If you’ve been steering clear of colour, it’s time to add a touch of buttery yellow to your wardrobe. This soft, creamy hue is popping up everywhere, from Gucci’s buttery suits to JW Anderson’s sweater dresses. This fall outfit is a must for winter 2024, so pairs well with black, white, navy, and even denim—making it one of the easiest “trendy” colours to incorporate. Consider it the fashion equivalent of comfort food: mellow, satisfying, and oh-so-good.
T-Bar Shoes
Mary Janes are evolving, and their slightly edgier cousin, the T-bar shoe, is taking over. With a strap connecting the toe to the cross strap, this retro style is ideal for adding a touch of preppy chic to your look. Miu Miu and Ferragamo are championing the style, and we’re seeing everyone from Katie Holmes to Justin Bieber sporting them. Who knew T-bar shoes could be so versatile and essential for every woman’s winter wardrobe?
Faux Fur
Faux fur isn’t just for accessories this winter—it’s a mainstay in outerwear, bags, and even shoes. Everyone from Prada to Loewe is embracing the plush look, and we’re not mad about it. After all, who doesn’t want to feel like they’re wrapped in a cloud? Go for a cropped jacket, a furry handbag, or even fuzzy slippers. The only downside? Your pet might get a little jealous.
Neckties
Neckties are no longer just for the office. Once a symbol of structure and conformity, they’ve now become a playful accessory that adds flair to even the simplest outfits. Schiaparelli showed ties with menswear-inspired looks, but you can just as easily wear one with a casual shirt and jeans. Not sure how to tie a tie? Time to brush up on those skills—because neckties are the ultimate conversation starter this winter.
Glove Flats
Ballet flats are taking a minimalist turn this season, with glove flats—simple, unembellished shoes that fit like a glove—becoming a staple. Free of straps, bows, or other decorations, they’re the perfect foundation for a chic, understated outfit. This winter 2024, pair them with cropped trousers or a midi skirt for a look that’s effortlessly elegant. Who knew going back to basics could look so refined?
With these trends in mind, Winter 2024 is shaping up to be a season of contrasts—think maximalist outerwear meets minimalist shoes, or bold, boho patterns paired with refined accessories. So go ahead and experiment, because if there’s one rule this season, it’s that there are no rules—only stylish, cosy possibilities.
