The fashion schedule is traveling at a breakneck pace, and the recent resort 2024 collections are no different. Several destination shows had the style set traipsing around the globe to take in the latest from brands that are bound to inspire a winter getaway sooner than later. If you’re keen to get your holiday plans sorted before the summer is over, look no further. Keep scrolling to see the top trends of the in-between season—and get your shopping carts ready.
DESTINATION DRESSING
This season, designers embraced their jet-setting schedule of pre-pandemic years with Gucci showing in Seoul, Chanel in L.A., Dior heading to Mexico City, Louis Vuitton on Lake Maggiore in Italy (in the rain), Carolina Herrera in Rio (also in the rain), Max Mara in Stockholm, and Jacquemus in Versailles. If this doesn’t inspire some wanderlust, what will?
COASTAL ATHLEISURE
Athleisure isn’t going anywhere, folks. The sportiest collections, like Chanel’s ’80s-meets-’60s West Coast-inspired swim and Louis Vuitton’s scuba-chic aesthetic provide the ultimate inspiration for your next beach trip.
BLACK AND WHITE
What’s black, white, and red all over? This monochromatic trend, for one. Carolina Herrera, Dior, and others provided plenty of solid options in the easiest, most wearable color combo. Add a pop of red to channel your inner Cruella de Vil.
SUMPTUOUS SHEARLING
Resort offers, yes, lots of resortwear, but consider the super sumptuous shearling coat for the weeks you’re heading to the mountains or braving the city winds. Options from Chloé, Ferragamo, and Etro add a dose of color and pattern.
PRAIRIE CHIC
Turns out, channeling Meg White this winter is as simple as one cottagecore dress or Western-inspired blazer. Balmain, Alessandra Rich, and The Row showed easy frocks fit for modern-day Little House on the Prairie realness.
SMALL ON TOP, BIG ON THE BOTTOM
Blame TikTok, but Y2K is also not going anywhere. If you’re keen to try the throwback trend, DSquared2, Paco Rabanne, and Gucci all showcased spins on the aughts classics.
SHARP SUITING
An antidote to more casual trends, razor-sharp suiting from Stella McCartney, Ferragamo, and Proenza Schouler demonstrated something more serious without comprising chicness.
SHIMMER AND SHINE
The party dress muscles its way into just about every season. If you need a new excuse to party, consider Balenciaga, Diesel, and Chanel’s options for the sparkle your wardrobe is missing.
ALL LEATHER EVERYTHING
This isn’t your boyfriend’s biker jacket. Designers like Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini and Brandon Maxwell gave their take on head-to-toe leather that’s definitely not breathable, but looks instantly polished.
