Which fashion trends will we wear in the Fall-Winter of 2023-2024? And how so? Following the March 2023 fashion week events, Vogue has prepared a graphic list of the top 18 Fall/Winter 2023-2024 fashion trends that will undoubtedly rule our winter wardrobes.
A look back at the Fall-Winter 2023-2024 Fashion Week trends.
Skirts layered over pants
Although 2000s trends appear to be receding from the runways, one final aesthetic statement survived for the sake of nostalgia for this iconic fashion era: skirts were layered over pants in similar hues and tones at Fendi, Givenchy, and Chanel.
Neckties
While remaining true to its austere shape, the tie was also employed to embellish a tuxedo ensemble at Dolce & Gabbana, as well as to add dimension to a shirt and skirt at Dior and Valentino.
Short shorts
Underwear or short shorts? It didn’t matter so much as the lengths were micro-short and allowed you to show off your legs. The (very, very short) shorts attracted us with their adaptability, whether it was athleisure at Miu Miu or officewear at Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood and Ferragamo.
Neo-bouquets
We’ve gone a long way from the previous season’s grandiose declinations. At Prada, Lanvin, and Chanel, the flowers were delicate, embroidered, or attached, yet 3D, creating the illusion of a resolutely poetic bouquet.
Graphic structured shoulders
The graphic shoulder patterns at Louis Vuitton, Alexander McQueen, and Bottega Veneta, whether worn during the day or at night, accentuated the face and added a sense of rhythm to the ensembles that were in sync with winter wishes.
Pretty neckerchiefs
To provide a more romantic take of the tie trend, the neckerchief was played with extravagant volumes and matching shades at Balenciaga, Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello, and Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood.
Tartan
At Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood, Dior, and Burberry, the ever-popular tartan pattern evolved away from its classic punk/grunge style to be worn as a full costume in a strikingly brilliant plaid color palette.
Ultimate laceworks
There was lace, but it was only available in black. Eveningwear at Gucci, Off-White, and Balenciaga relished in the elegance of sheer accents and immaculate lace craftsmanship.
Black and whites
Although black and white are absolute subtleties, they shone in pairs and emphasized the winter silhouettes. This austerity represented a desire for subtle elegance, especially at Emporio Armani, Chloé, and Chanel..
Scenic landscapes
The visual illusions and sceneries at Paco Rabanne, Coperni, and Stella McCartney looked hand-painted and made us want to travel to a gorgeous spot for the winter.
A palette of pop colors
Winter doesn’t have to be associated with a dreary or conventional color palette, and at Loewe, Givenchy, and Paco Rabanne, our favorite designs were given a bright and cheery twist.
Double denims
We had denim double vision, which was worn as a complete ensemble. The sole rule is to pair it with similar colors to get a faultless effect. Jeans were the season’s ultimate statement at Ami, Y/Project, and Versace, whether bleached, raw, deconstructed, or highlighted with precise tailoring.
A throwback to the ’50s
With pin-up type gowns, large petticoats, and tight waists, there was a decidedly feminine 50s look. It was a throwback to postwar couture, updated for 2023. Bottega Veneta, Dior (and its iconic New Look), and Balmain – French and Italian labels alike – championed the 1950s stylish look.
Beige in all its shades
The ultimate exercise in color expression, a range of beige colors was employed to elevate layering as a winter fashion statement at Michael Kors, Hermès, and Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello.
LBDs (with a twist)
These aren’t your typical black outfits. The graphic declinations seen at Alexander McQueen, Loewe, and Louis Vuitton will solidify the LBD’s reputation as a fashion statement next winter.
Feathers
Feathers are light and airy both during the day and at night, and they complemented the star silhouettes of the Valentino, Gucci, and Loewe shows.
Polka dots
We’re traveling back in time to the 1950s! The polka dot print, inspired by the ’50s era and seen on several catwalks this season, emerged in mini, maxi, or sheer designs at Balmain, Miu Miu, and Valentino, in keeping with the fashion expectations of 2023.
Power shoulders
Although timeless, rigid shoulder pads from the 1980s appear to be making a significant comeback, looking more XXL than ever. The designs showcased at Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello, Courrèges, and Balenciaga certainly wowed us.
