8 Fall/Winter 2024 Fashion Trends From the Runway
Use the runway as your guide to get a first look at the fall fashion trends everyone will be wearing this year.
As the fashion world makes a pronounced return to an age of wearability and longevity, pushing microtrends and statement pieces to the wayside, this season brings a wealth of inspiration for your fall mood board and shopping cart alike. With timeless and effortlessly cool leather accents, super cozy knitwear, and sharply tailored trousers all popping up across collections this season, we're looking forward to seeing what's in store as the international runways begin.
As the runways heat up, L'OFFICIEL has rounded up the Fall/Winter 2024 fashion trends designers are threading through their collections this fashion month.
Sheer Garments
Despite the inevitable frigid fall temperatures, designers are embracing sheer for the upcoming season. True to his style, Ludovic de Saint Sernin highlights diaphanous dresses with sequin accents, transparent blouses, and sheer midi skirts. With their sultry silhouettes and captivating designs, brands like Christian Cowan, Helmut Lang, and Eckhaus Latta are also leading the pack with this Fall/Winter 2024 fashion trend.
Deconstructed Suits
Deconstructed suits bring a sense of edge to a traditional and sophisticated garment. Pioneering a modern and experimental approach to traditional suiting, Helmut Lang opts for a sophisticated flair for the suit, offering sleek and sharp black silhouettes, while Monse breaks down the classic suit, using unique lines and collars.
Fall/Winter 2024 Fashion Trends: Shawls
Superhero chic? For years, capes and shawls have served as a fashion statement, frequently worn by celebrities like Kendall Jenner. However, this fashion month, brands have emphatically declared it's time for all things shawl. Offering a touch of luxury and regality, shawls elevate an ensemble with a nod to Old Hollywood glamour, and brands like Proenza Schouler, Helmut Lang, Monse, and Prabal Gurung agree this is a Fall/Winter 2024 fashion trend worth remembering.
Fur
Fur has always been a part of fall fashion, but we are in the age of a resurgence. Brands have identified a distinct Fall/Winter 2024 fashion trend set to dominate this season. Ulla Johnson, LaPointe, Eckhaus Latta, and Khaite showcased fur detailing, accessories, or full-on fur outfits on the runway, ideal for the autumn and winter months.
Criss-Cross
The criss-cross style is the Fall/Winter 2024 fashion trend for making a statement. Brands like Ludovic de Saint Sernin implement it via edgy leathers for a sultry look, while Monse incorporates criss-cross detailing into suit jackets for a sophisticated twist. Fforme uses a more simplistic approach with a large draped criss-cross sweater. Either way, the criss-cross style is one to turn heads this upcoming season.
Oversized Knits
The trend of oversized knits has taken center stage this runway season, making its mark on both fashion runways and Pinterest boards alike. As seen on the NYFW runways by Tommy Hilfiger and Jason Wu, oversized knit sweaters and long chunky scarves are poised to become wardrobe essentials for the chilly months ahead.
Head-to-Toe Leather
Leather has emerged as a prevalent theme throughout this fashion month as brands elevate it to new heights. Ludovic de Saint Sernin, Khaite, Prabal Gurung, and Ulla Johnson are among the labels that have embraced head-to-toe leather ensembles, showcasing innovative styling and design.
Hoods
Last year, hoods titillated the fashionably minded as an unexpected addition to the typical A-line gowns and high slits seen on the red carpet. However, as all trends trickle down eventually, brands like Khaite, Proenza Schouler, and Helmut Lang are returning hoods to their ready-to-wear form. Consider this the most utilitarian Fall/Winter 2024 fashion trend you'll see this runway season.
