Jeans: The 10 trends for spring 2024

The star of the year: the baggy

Yes, fashion is an eternal beginning. The proof is with those who rushed to the futal once worn by their parents. But unlike yesterday, baggy is considered chic and parade in fashion shows from Loewe to Versace, via Gucci. Even the Schiaparelli house has its model, which it combines with a tweed suit jacket. An inspiring idea for those over 16, because it is familiar with bourgeois codes while evoking the origins of street pants. Especially when boxer shorts (which stick out) and a turban imitating the durag complete the look.

The reappearance of the year: the slim

For months now, the press and the fashion world have been announcing its return. As you read these lines, know that Madame Miuccia Prada is in the process of producing thousands of them for winter 2024. Note, since its consecration in… 2005, these tight pants have never really disappeared from our fashion departments. A real pot of glue, he uses various names just to get himself bought and it works. So Skinny, Fitted or even Jeggings full of elastane and comfort continue to please. But the model of 2024 could well be the Slim Straight which, unlike its predecessors, has a less tight cut on the thigh. Ditto at the ankles, which allows (finally) to remove it without acrobatics or loss of balance.

Flowers or pearls: romantic details

On the catwalk side, designers from Valentino, Germanier and even Ralph Lauren opted for an embellished canvas. From jackets to pants, the pieces are adorned with details in the shape of flowers, pearls or coated in gold. A real feast for the eyes and an original look. So these wonders could make a splash at your niece’s wedding, as far as etiquette allows. Because in 2024, the charm of denim does not rest solely on the robustness of its canvas, its patina or its washes.

The bleached canvas option

It is with this adjective that the Anglo-Saxons define this canvas discolored by bleach. Initially manual, this technique was particularly popular with Skinheads, who sought to set their looks apart from Hippies. Later, it was the Punks who had fun washing their jeans in their bathtub, even giving birth to Neige jeans. It now includes the spring-summer collections of Moschino, Proenza Schouler, Gauchere and Mark Fast. Tending to gray or pale blue, bleached materializes in skirts, jackets and of course pants, inspiring us to adopt it as a total look. And just like white jeans, its almost neutral shades allow all kinds of combinations.

The Capri of the 2000s

No, it’s not a joke, these cropped pants are coming out of the closet this spring. Neither shorts nor pants, this hybrid piece had its period of glory in the 2000s. Avril Lavigne will not say the opposite. But today, the Coperni house is dusting off the capri pants from the Y2K archives by embellishing its hem with ruffles. Combined with an elegant shouldered blazer, the Capri takes it up a notch.

The denim shoe

This year 2024 again, indigo fabric takes the form of shoes. In the spring-summer collections of the big houses, the denim madness is attacking boots at Givenchy. The Carel house opted for Kitten Heels, Michael Kors released mules in frayed fabric, while Hermès dressed its high-top sneakers in light blue twill. This trend, which started in spring 2023, proves that the fashion of the 1990s-2000s is not yet ready to disappear. Especially since our stores are full of denim models.

Favorite, cap: head accessories

In the accessories department, head ornaments are also riding the denim wave. If the Y/Project brand has opted for the frayed denim cap, our brands in turn offer something to make a beautiful face: scrunchie decorated with pearls, bob with a striped pattern, bow barrettes… our hairstyles also give in to the trend .

Light spring coat

To change the classic denim jacket – also called Trucker jacket – designers add length, like Dries Van Noten. At the end of this cutting work, an ideal coat for mid-season emerges. And even if it doesn’t promise to save our skin from the rain, this piece offers an alternative to classic beige raincoats. This is evidenced by the street looks, immortalized between Paris, Milan, London and New York during the last Fashion Weeks.

The gray canvas

According to the magazine Vogue, it’s “the new seasonal essential”. From clothing to accessories, gray seduces in all its forms. Beyond the fact that it is less expected than black or blue and much less messy than white, this shade remains easy to wear. It goes as well with a sober look as it tempers a variegated outfit. So gray can be more fun than you think.

Sugared dyed denim

It’s known that pastel shades have the gift of brightening up our basics. In pale pink, buttery yellow or even Peach Fuzz from Pantone (a sort of washed coral), spring colors are on the rise. We dare to wear them in a contrasting way, multi-colored or monochrome. This season, anything goes!
