Looking for some trendy ideas to refresh your wardrobe for the new year? Then this roundup is right what you need! We’ve gathered the coolest and hottest trends that will be on every blogger and fashionista this year, feel free to dive into them!
Polished Preppy
While the “covid years” gave us permission to go full goblin mode and encouraged lounge dressing, fashion pros say the industry is now experiencing a direct pushback on ultra casual styles. Look for refined shapes and touches of prep and polish. Voluminous suiting in statement colors, along with the return of the polo shirt, signify a desire for this classic, crisp aesthetic.

Old Money
Coinciding with the polished preppy aesthetic is quiet luxury, which is all about wearing pieces that look and feel super expensive but aren’t blazingly so. Think perfect tailoring and high-quality materials versus blingy branding. Also referred to as “old money style,” you can also dive into this 2024 fashion trend with accessories like bags, jewelry, and shoes.

Grandpa Chic
It’s officially time to bid adieu to coastal grandma and instead usher in a new icon: eclectic grandpa. Think retro streetwear, chic cardigans and customized clothing. Terms like “grandpa style” and “eclectic clothing style” are surging +60% and +130% respectively on Pinterest.

Ultra-Feminine
If grandpa core doesn’t hit, then perhaps the hyperfeminine styles of 2024 are more your speed. Ultra girly aesthetics are very in a la coquette core, Barbie, ballet, and cottage vibes. Pink and lacy details are in, as are bows, pastels, and floral prints.

Wardrobe Basics
The perfect non-trend trend is wardrobe basics. Stitch Fix stylists have noticed people requesting classic pieces more frequently, such as button-downs and solid colors. A tucked in button-down is a timeless look. For an office-ready ensemble, style with wide-leg denim and throw on a tie-waist trench coat, worn open to show off the rest of your ‘outfit. There seems to always be a “twist” to make basic staples a little more interesting, but 2024 will see an uptick in classic styles that aren’t so basic. A twisted button here, an open cut there, these styles are ever-so-subtly subversive but wearable enough for those of us who have to commute into an office or run errands before brunch.
Corporate-Core
As more and more companies require in-office work days, fashion has embraced the office aesthetic by romanticizing corporate wear. Pleated trousers, optical glasses, and slate grey have become anything but drab, and you can even wear this trend outside of the office without looking like weird.

All White
Lightness was a theme stated in many spring/summer 2024 collection show notes, like Missoni, which featured a multitude of white and pastel sheer looks. The lightness of material and attitude was certainly evident, but the color palettes designers chose also played a role. Many designers opted for all-white looks, some crisp and minimalist, and others springy and playful.

Return Of The ’90s
This year sees a return to the ’90s aesthetic. Yes, we’ve seen revivals before, but for this round, think Friends and Buffy the Vampire Slayer; even The Sopranos is gaining traction with the “mob wife” aesthetic, which is (really) just a subsection of ’90s-core. Leopard print, fuzzy accents, and minimalist-meets-maximalist touches will be all the rage.
