For spring 2024 fashion trends, designers are focused on balancing polished and classic silhouettes with daring and skin-baring details. And, though New York Fashion Week runways were showing looks that will not hit stores until six months from now, there are spring and summer fashion trends for 2024 you can start wearing immediately — even as the current season begins to turn into crisp fall.
Models graced countless catwalks at NYFW debuting flowing black tie skirts, pencil silhouettes, tailored suiting, and more — all crafted in unique and head-turning ways. Staud was a standout when it came to saturated pastel slip skirts, mastering two trends in one. Carolina Herrera took classic and timeless silhouettes and designed sheath dresses of sheer guipure lace, slip skirts in Barbiecore pink, and minidresses with a nod to mod style. Alejandro Alonso Rojas expanded upon her trademark knit crochet textures with silk slip dresses, suiting sets, and fringe detailing that all effortlessly took on lives of their own with the slightest bit of movement.
The color of the spring 2024 season? A vibrant shade of lilac. And suiting sets reigned supreme in bright white and soft cream tones. Nostalgia is still a key factor of dressing for spring, as trends of the past are back by way of '90s slip skirts and '60s mod silhouettes.
While you explore the spring fashion trends for 2024 that have emerged from New York Fashion Week this season, keep an eye out for three more cities chock-full with designer shows, street style stars, and more as the fashion set move on to London, Milan, and Paris.

Spring 2024 Fashion Trend: Lilac
For spring 2024, Barbiecore pink has been replaced by a saturated shade of lilac, feeling a bit more sophisticated with hints of cerulean and periwinkle in the mix. Still vibrant and saturated, this pastel tone of purple hit the runway by way of sheer guipure lace sets at Carolina Herrera, belted trench coats at Michael Kors, floor-skimming silk skirts at Staud, and more.

Spring 2024 Fashion Trend: White Suiting
While white will forever be a summer trend, it was tailored suiting that brought the hue to life for spring 2024. Michael Kors debuted boxier sets, while Christian Siriano opted for the double-breasted powersuit style, L'Agence went classic with a long and lean silhouette, and Gabriela Hearst leaned into slightly more saturated ivory tones.
No matter the silhouette, the message was clear: polished sets are back in classic neutrals like white and cream for the season to come.

Spring 2024 Fashion Trend: Drop Shoulders
Designers are showing skin for spring 2024 by way of necklines that drop off one shoulder or two. For a sultry evening look, draw inspiration from Alejandra Alonso Rojas's slip dresses, with high necklines that pull to one side or another. Altuzarra brought back the cold shoulder from the early aughts with off-the-shoulder silhouettes that are held up by spaghetti straps at the neckline. And Rosie Assoulin opted for a classic one-shoulder silhouette with cropped tops that featured a short sleeve on one side and nothing at all on the other.

Spring 2024 Fashion Trend: '90s Slip Skirts
Designers are throwing it back to the '90s and early aughts when it comes to their day-to-night pairings, styling slip skirts with everything from crop tops to cotton T-shirts. While some satin bottoms flowed with the wind, like Staud's newest styles, others felt more tailored and pencil-like, as shown on the runways of Altuzarra and Carolina Herrera.

Spring 2024 Fashion Trend: Mod Minis
Show some leg this warm-weather season, drawing inspiration from the runways at the spring 2024 season of Fashion Week. Instead of restricting silhouettes and tight shapes, however, opt for the minis of the 1960s — adding a mod appeal. Designers like Michael Kors, Tory Burch, and Staud sent retro minis down the runway to show off the new look of the season.
