While some are still waiting for the snow to melt and others are planning their summer vacations, we are getting into these upcoming spring fashion staples! Once a time when pastels thrived, fashionistas are taking a different approach in 2024. Floral prints may be out, but high-waisted slacks are making a comeback. Don’t be the last to get on board. Here are seven spring fashion staples you should add to your wardrobe ASAP!
1. Denim sets
Denim has never gone out of style; it simply keeps evolving! This spring, add a denim matching set to your closet. The set is versatile, making it perfect for brunch with girls and carnival dates with your boo. It is also easy to style, requiring only accessories, basics, and shoes.
2. Dynamic blazers
We are still slightly traumatized by the business-casual trend of the 2010s, but the only way to move on is to reinvent! For the office girlies, a blazer is somewhere in your closet. This year, spice up the blazers you buy. Opt for bright colors, patterns, and different materials. Pair them with cargo pants or biker shorts for casual Fridays. Keep it simple, and let the blazer be the outfit’s focal point.
3. High-waisted trousers
High-waisted jeans have become a fashion staple in the 2020s; now, high-waisted trousers are a must-have. As people continue to include nostalgia in their personal styles, these trousers have been elevated past their ’70s flair. The cut of the pants is flattering for every figure and highly versatile. Trousers can be worn at work, on a date, or while running errands.
When you enter the office, high-waisted trousers can be paired with a tucked-in button-down, blazer, and loafers. For casual events, throw on a plain cropped tee, baseball cap, and New Balance sneakers. Just make sure to add a belt for a little taste of glamour.
4. Faux Leather Jacket
Springtime is known for erratic weather, so you can never go wrong with a leather jacket. This fashion staple is perfect for 2024’s trends, and jackets are becoming focal points of outfits. Minimalism also continues to thrive. Adding a leather jacket to a simple outfit can push it over the edge.
5. Windbreakers
Windbreakers, popularized in the ’90s, have always been considered a spring fashion staple. In 2024, the girls are upping the ante by styling them in a more feminine manner. Adding a mix of accessories, a beat face, and a pair of heels can take the simple item from athletic to fashionable.
6. Miniskirts
The Y2K aesthetic continues to influence 2020 trends, including the resurgence of miniskirts. For all the times our moms told us we couldn’t wear them, now is the time to reclaim the clothing item. Styled with boots and a structured shirt, miniskirts can bring a 2000s trend to modern times.
7. Crochet sets
Crochet sets were popular in the early 2000s but were reserved for superstars like Beyoncé and Jennifer Lopez. Redeeming its power, many Black women have learned the art of crocheting, putting the fashion staple back in the spotlight. Crochet sets come in different forms, such as dresses, shorts, and skirts. This spring fashion staple must be added to your closet, perfect for brunch or beach days.
