As the fashion world returns to a period of celebrating comfort and sustainability, micro-trends and excessive ornamentation are gradually becoming a thing of the past. Fall/Winter 2024 honors cool, timeless leather materials, cozy knits, and well-tailored trousers. As the runways regain their vibrancy, Style-Republik has compiled the fashion trends designers are showcasing in their collections this season.

Textured Coats

The cold season is the time for coats to shine, often in wool or tweed materials. However, this season, designers have elevated coat options with fur, ribbons, knitting, as seen in the collections of Gabriela Hearst, Tory Burch, Diesel, and Ulla Johnson.

Pantless

For the past year, pantless outfits have been slowly but surely creeping back into the fashion world. In Fall/Winter 2024, this bold style is making a strong comeback. This trend appeared on the runways of Chloé in olive green knits, while Dior elevated everyday office wear to new heights – neat and elegant, demonstrating the versatility of pantless designs.

Plaid

Prominent in this year’s Fall/Winter collections are plaid designs, evoking a classic autumn feel. Patterns are used as the main highlights of each design, such as the warm woolen coats from the Chloé brand, the classic Helmut Lang headscarves, and the uniquely structured blazers from Rabanne.

Sheer Outfits

Despite the chilly autumn weather, designers are still enthusiastically endorsing sheer clothing for the upcoming season. True to its style, Ludovic de Saint Sernin honors transparent dresses with sequin details, sheer shirts, and see-through midi dresses. With sexy silhouettes and seductive designs, brands like No.21, Helmut Lang, and Eckhaus Latta are also leading the way in this fashion trend.

Deconstructed Suits

Deconstructed garments bring a unique yet traditional and sophisticated feel. Leading the modern style, breaking through traditional boundaries, Helmut Lang opts for an elegant style for the vest collection, with sleek black silhouettes, while Monse breaks the rules of classic vests by designing unique seams and collars.

Scarves

For decades, coats and scarves have become fashion statements, favored by celebrities like Kendall Jenner. In Fall/Winter 2024, brands are quietly asserting that everything about scarves should take precedence. Bringing luxury and royalty, scarves accentuate outfits with a reminiscence of royal eras in history. They embellish and complete your outfit, with form-fitting, wrapping, and asymmetrically cut silhouettes. It’s no wonder brands like Proenza Schouler, Jane Wade, Tod’s, and Fendi all agree that this will be a memorable fashion trend this year!

Fur

Fur has always been an essential part of fall/winter fashion, especially in the current fashion revival era. Brands have identified fur as the dominant fashion trend this season. The runways of Acne Studios, Burberry, and Khaite attract attention with fur designs and accessories, perfect for wearing in the cold late-year weather.

Crisscross Detailing

Crisscross style is a booming fashion trend this Fall/Winter season. Jane Wade highlights this style with sharp leather materials, bringing a seductive appearance. Meanwhile, Monse incorporates crisscross details into vests, creating an elegant and chic overall look. Fforme impresses with a simpler style, with a knit sweater featuring large crisscross details.

Oversized Knits

The oversized knit trend is the focal point of this runway season, marking its presence on both fashion runways and Pinterest. As seen in NYFW shows by Tommy Hilfiger and Jason Wu, oversized knits and thick, long scarves will be essential items for the upcoming cold season.

Leather from Head to Toe

Leather has become a popular theme this Fall/Winter season as brands elevate it to new heights. Ludovic de Saint Sernin, MM6 Maison Margiela, Prabal Gurung, and Gabriela Hearst are brands making a statement with leather outfits from head to toe, with creative designs and unique combinations.

Headscarves

Last year, headscarves attracted fashion enthusiasts as a fresh accent for familiar A-line dresses and high-slit gowns often seen on the red carpet. However, as all trends gradually pass, brands like Khaite, Proenza Schouler, Puppets and Puppets, and Del Core are bringing back headscarves in ready-to-wear form. This is considered the most practical fashion trend you can find on the runways this season.

Turtleneck Sweaters

Instead of regular collar shirts, designers have chosen to elevate turtlenecks by a few inches, bringing a fresh feel to the wearer. This detail appears in all fashion products, from Burberry’s turtleneck trench coats to Bevza’s standing form-fitting knitwear. It can be seen that the turtleneck trend has made waves on the Fall/Winter 2024 runways.
