From the catwalk to star-studded events, our world — and closet — is always heavily influenced by fashion trends. This past year, we saw the rise of the thriving no-pants trend to the cottage-core cowgirl aesthetic, both of which are barreling into 2024 at rapid speeds. There were also the metallic shimmering silvers inspired by Beyoncé, hot pink brought to Us by Barbie and everything bejeweled courtesy of Swifties. All in all, it was a very good year, but it doesn’t need to end here. In fact, many of these trends are just getting started — which is why we’ve rounded up a handy list so you can shine bright during your “new year, new me” moment. Who knows what 2024 will inspire?
