FAQs

Are puffer jackets in style in 2024 women's? ›

But now plenty of designers are releasing playful iterations of puffer coats that make them more than a mere necessity. Now, they're actually desirable.

On the autumn/winter 2024 runways, trench coats became as familiar as breakout Canadian model Agel Akol, who walked in 38 shows. Along with traditional gabardine, denim and leather versions were seen at Khaite, Burberry, Courrèges, Balmain, Tod's, Thom Browne, Tom Ford, Moschino and Dior.

Spring 2024 Outerwear Trend: Cropped Trench Coat

The spring/summer 2024 runways were filled with all kinds of trench coats, including various cropped lengths.

Lean Into Animal Print

Animal-printed fur, especially leopard, is making a comeback in 2024. Stella McCartney's F/W 2023 show gives us a glimpse of an oversized knit sweater covered in animal print. If you want to turn heads, try styling a leopard print coat or knit piece with a scarf in the same print.

The rise of the cropped trench is hardly a surprise, with the autumn/winter 2024 runways flooded with cropped jacket styles.

The current spring jacket trends we're seeing combine performance with polish. Bomber jackets and leather coats add a relaxed, sporty edge to any outfit; we love them paired with straight-leg jeans and slingback heels.

The invention of inexpensive synthetic textiles for insulating clothing led to fur clothing falling out of fashion. Fur is still used by indigenous people and industrialized societies, due to its availability and superior insulation properties.

Then, the trend came to life. Designers from Luar to LaQuan Smith in New York, Simone Rocha and Roksanda in London and Dolce & Gabbana in Milan each sent fur looks down the runway. Street style images across each city have revealed that showgoers are also, once again, sporting furs.

Winter and cold weather. Fur collars are designed to keep you warm, so they are best suited for cold weather. Winter is the obvious season to wear a jacket coat with fur on the collar, but you can also wear it in cold weather in other seasons, such as fall or spring.

Are utility jackets in style in 2024? ›

Last week we talked about the top 2024 Spring Fashion Trends, and I mentioned that I'm seeing current utility jackets in more relaxed silhouettes this season. Today I styled a casual spring outfit with the Gap Relaxed Utility Jacket, which has the shorter, boxier style that I'm especially drawn to right now.

Naturally, the body warmer, with its action-packed vibe, plays a starring role. Unrelated, the gilet is having a moment in the spotlight, with two distinct types of waistcoat – one austere, one kitsch – freeing fashion's arms for spring/summer 2024.

In conclusion, shackets have emerged as a dominant trend in 2024, offering a perfect blend of style, comfort, and versatility. Whether you're dressing for a casual day out or a formal event, a well-chosen shacket can elevate your look and make a lasting impression.

The decline of the puffer is surprisingly big news in fashion. Quilted, down-filled and padded coats have been a seasonal phenomenon since 2016 when, in a rare crossover between wearability and high fashion, Balenciaga showed an off-shoulder version in bright red on the catwalk.
