As the year draws to a close, it’s time to take stock of past trends. And to discover those who will dress us over the next twelve months.
2023 is coming to an end, so it’s time to look in the rearview mirror. What were the most popular trends of the year ? Stylight studied the searches of its 120 million customers to determine the pieces and colors that reigned over the last 12 months. And reveals the fashion gimmicks to adopt without further delay to have style over the next 12.
The pink color
Driven by the house of Valentino and the film Barbie, THE pink reigned over wardrobes until the end of summer. Dresses, suits, accessories, shorts… This shade even gave its name to an aesthetic, the Barbiecore. Door ad nauseamfuchsia has finally tired of fashionistas who since the beginning of autumn have only sworn by carmine, crimson, burgundy and ruby. Red is the new pink.
Moccasins
Their distinctive sign? A thick sole and, your choice, a metallic chain or two tassels that swing with every step. Comfortable and stylish at the same time, moccasins were on the feet of all fashionistas in recent months. In 2024, Stylight predicts their decline and the advent of kitten heels, these little stiletto heels on which you can run, dance and walk all day long. Doubtful? The platform specifies that in November 2023, the number of searches for the query “slingback kitten heels” would have increased by 57%. You will have read it here first.
Cargo pants and skirts
Is it their low waist, their slightly loose straight cut or their utility pockets that ensured cargo pants such a success? Since spring 2023, this model spotted at Diesel, Versace and Givenchy has been dressing those nostalgic for the 2000s. In recent months, they have been abandoning it in favor of baggy, wide as ever, which the denim brand Levi’s takes great pleasure in feminizing. Same observation for cargo skirts, gradually supplanted by their extra long sisters in indigo canvas.
Cowgirl boots
Embossed leather, a pointed toe, a beveled heel… Slipped over jeans or slipped under a dress, the cowboy boots Happy days have passed in recent months. Their peak of popularity? They experienced it in the heart of winter, in February, and even inspired a variation from Crocs, the specialist in plastic clogs. In 2024, cowgirl boots will give way to biker boots. More imposing and easier to wear, the flagship shoes of the 2010s herald a new era.
Short sweaters and co.
For months, the height of cool was showing off your belly. Short blazers succeeded crop tops before being dethroned by mini sweaters. According to Stylight, it is no longer the navels, but the shoulders that will be revealed in 2024. The name of this very cinematic look? Bardot necklinein a nod to the 50’s actress who was particularly fond of these romantic tops.
The no pants
Surprise, on the catwalk Miu Miu fall-winter 2023-2024 : models walk the catwalk in panties. A bold style nicknamed the “no pants” very quickly adopted by celebrities and influencers, Emma Corrin, Hailey Bieber, Chiara Ferragni and Dua Lipa in the lead. If 2024 promises to be just as bare, the underwear worn above should fade away in the face of transparency. On the program: embroidery and layering games.
Chunky sneakers
THE Triple S by BalenciagaTHE Archlight by Louis VuittonTHE 530 from New Balance… For several seasons, dad shoes have been enjoying their moment of glory. But these large models are being eclipsed by low profile sneakers. These are not the Mexico 66 of Onitsuka, the Samba and the Gazelle from Adidas who will say the opposite. These vintage-inspired sneakers, which evoke the Terrace culture (understand, the style of English football fans in the 80s) are selling at a high price on Vinted.
