As New York’s post-fashion week pack-down commences, we’re busy poring through the runway looks to ascertain each designer’s most covetable trends – and trends are there plenty. We have been spoiled for choice from the incoming spring summer ’24 ready to wear collections. There are modes of dressing that feel familiar (if you haven’t invested in double denim already, please do) and some unexpected details that are a sign of things to come. 

Structurally speaking, there was a consistent stream of cream tailoring, utilitarian detailing, and oversized suiting in attendance. But it won’t be long before we give into sheer fabrics, ruching en masse, and ladylike embellishments to ‘add a little spice’ to our everyday ensembles.  

And because the seasons cannot be relied on to stay in their proverbial lanes, most designers employed an ‘anything goes’ approach to their spring summer offerings with plenty of trench coats, leather layers, and even distressed knitwear alongside their core collection. Which means we’re likely going to see combinations of juxtaposing pieces coming together i.e. a super fine full length sheer slip dress underneath a heavy and oversized leather jacket or all-purpose cargo pants with an itty-bitty knit bralette. 

Below, we break down which key trends are big news this season.
