As 2024 is coming to an end, it’s clear that this year has presented a variety of new fashion trends while also reintroducing old ones. The question is, which pieces are meant to stay, and which ones will unfortunately be forgotten? From tops, to bottoms, to accessories, here is a recap of this year’s fashion trends:
Adidas Samba shoes
Described by Adidas as “inspired by the greats of soccer,” this low-top leather sneaker with its signature 3-striped design and suede accents has been a hit this year. You may have seen the Samba OG shoes in Cloud White, Core Black, and Gum around campus. This pair of shoes is timeless, as its basic style and colors match any outfit.
Low-rise jeans
High-rise jeans are out — low-rise jeans are in. Low-rise jeans have replaced leggings and sweatpants, becoming a widely popular staple in everyone’s closet. They pair perfectly with any longline tee or try them with a pair of Uggs. Look into brands such as Hollister, Pacsun, or Motel Rocks for your perfect pair of jeans.
Pinstripe linen pants
Popularized this summer, pinstripe linen pants are perfect for lounging at home or a day at school. Blue pinstripe linen pants have been a favorite, sold by brands such as Brandy Melville, Hollister, and Abercrombie & Fitch. This piece can be worn in warm weather as well as on chillier days, providing chic comfort.
Jorts
Short for “jean-shorts,” Jorts has officially made a comeback from the ‘80s. Its streetwear aspect makes any outfit effortlessly cool, especially when paired with a basic tank top or oversized graphic tee. If you are into street fashion and looking for a new piece, jorts are your best bet.
Leopard print
Providing a classy addition to your wardrobe, leopard print easily turns heads. From leopard-printed tanks, maxi dresses, to mini skirts, this statement pattern has been everywhere. On dressier occasions, you can count on leopard print to create a glamorous and sophisticated look.
Off-the-shoulder tops
Off-the-shoulder tops offer a versatile way to show a bit of skin while keeping things elegant. Off-the-shoulder sweaters have made an appearance as the weather gets colder, being stylish yet cozy. For a more casual look, off-the-shoulder graphic tees can be fresh and playful. Off-the-shoulder tops can be dressed up or down and never fail to add some flair to a basic outfit.
This year provided a variety of looks that will definitely become staples for future years to come. However, there’s no doubt that new trends will arise next year. As we say goodbye to 2024, make sure to keep a lookout for fresh styles coming soon!
