STYLE STOP
Fashion Week Trends For You
By Linda Peavy
The runways are officially closed. New York Fashion Week Winter 2024 is a wrap, and I’ve got the seven trends you will see coming to a retailer near you.
Bows
Mac DuggalBow Front Strapless Taffeta A-Line Gown
Bows are not just for little girls anymore; bows are back. From embellishments to shoes to hats to blouses, bows were everywhere. Want to use one that’s chic and modern? Try a low-heeled shoe with a cute bow at the toe or a sophisticated blouse with a bow at the neck. Coach used bows to accessorize their handbags.
Executive Coats
Mackage Rose Wool and Leather Coat
Executive Coats are style statements. Remember when coats were only used to keep you warm? Now, they are as much of a fashion statement as your outfit. These collections were made with high-end fabric from single-breasted to double-breasted to hooded. The Michael Kors Collection stood out.
Metallics
Tadashi Shoji Plus Size Metallic Jersey Gathered Gown
Metallic Sheath Dress, Personal Collection
Modern Metallics are not your 1970s metallics. In rich hues, the runway metallics were classy and chic, with an air of sophistication. Christian Siriano’s collection used metallics to highlight his show.
Orange
Stella McCarthy Crepe Maxi Dress
Orange is bright and looks good on many complexions. It was featured in collections from light peachy hues to dazzling sequins. Helmut Lang offered a homage to this color in their garments.
Office Wear
Spanx Perfect Asymmetrical Suit
Office Wear means it’s time to dress for the office again. You will have plenty of options from the runways collection shown this year. From tailored suits to separates, pulling together an outfit will be easy. Tory Burch featured several designs using office wear as a mainstay of her runway show.
Red
Badgley Mischka Strapless Peplum Gown2 Reds. The hottest color of the fall isn’t going anywhere. Red is here to stay, as was apparent during Fashion Week. From blouses to haute couture gowns to pants, red was ablaze. Christian Cowen used red fur to accent his garments.
Black and White
White House Black Market Suit
Black and White. One of the most popular color combinations was in full effect in New York. From asymmetrical designs to solids, the shows offered a variety of elegant ensembles showcasing these colors. Badgley Mischka used these colors to highlight their collections.
