The New Year marks the perfect time to welcome change whether that's a new workout routine, new mental habits, or of course, a new wardrobe. While a complete closet overhaul might be a bit unrealistic, I've found that adding a few items goes a long way to help my outfits feel fresh and current. The fashion scene is already anticipating a slew of trends to take off in 2024, so I've decided to share my personal favorites below. Some of these trends have caused quite the debate after returning to the spring 2024 runways while others are a continuation of last year's cherished styles. I promise that investing in any of these finds will undoubtedly give your wardrobe a very chic upgrade. And the good news is that each of these five covetable trends is ready to shop at Net-a-Porter. Here's exactly what to buy.
Metallic Flats
Unlike most trends that vanish as quickly as they appear, ballet flats are certainly playing the long game. Until now, I've resisted the urge to purchase a pair because I tend to be pretty trend avoidant, but these comfortable shoes have officially won me over. I specifically have my eye on the metallic iteration, which adds a subtle shiny detail to any outfit.
The Mary Jane style is a fashion-girl favorite, and this chic pair by Le Monde Béryl is sold exclusively at Net-a-Porter.
The rose-gold leather is radiating elegance.
These stunning investment flats are worth every penny, and not to mention they look amazing with denim.
For those who aren't ready to commit to the full metallic look, this ballet flat offers an equally stylish alternative. The silver toe cap makes for a luxe finishing touch.
The rubber pebbles along the bottom of the shoe make this pair unique and ensure added grip for comfortable walks around the city.
Polo Prep
Love it or hate it, polo shirts and sweaters are making a strong comeback this spring. Designers including Miu Miu, Dries Van Noten, and Bally are embracing the preppy, polished aesthetic that's reminiscent of country club and private school attire—but with a fashionable twist. Expect to see collared button-downs, striped sweaters, and sporty uniforms emerge as wardrobe must-haves this year.
I've been eager to try Gigi Hadid's clothing brand Guest in Residence, and this cozy, chic cashmere shirt has me ready to add to cart.
This coveted sweater just came back in stock. I love that it can be worn alone or as a cozy layering piece.
Lisa Yang sweaters are hot commodities, and since this vibrant green sweater is on sale, I'd consider this find an absolute steal.
This two-toned polo shirt is office friendly and guaranteed to be worn on repeat.
It's easy to get stuck in a routine with neutral separates, so sometimes I like to switch things up. This colorful polo sweater feels like a breath of fresh air.
Capri Pants
The controversial fashion trend that I'm most excited to try in 2024? Capris. Naturally, after many seasons of wide-leg pants and baggy jeans, the pendulum has started to swing in the opposite direction. Capris are uncharted territory for Gen Z and will give fashion people the space to experiment and have fun with their style. I can't wait to wear them with kitten heels or ballet flats.
I love that these capris have a flared hem, and they're versatile enough to wear on almost any occasion.
This pair strikes the right balance between tailored pants and comfortable leggings.
It's giving Carrie Bradshaw.
The recycled leather-blend fabric has such a sleek feel.
The strappy details and gold-toned hardware effortlessly elevate this classic pair of black capris.
XL Handbags
While I'll always appreciate a mini-bag moment, I'm relieved to say that oversize, roomy handbags are a key item to own in 2024. Their practicality is what's most appealing—nothing feels better than tossing my entire life into one accessory. Leave it to luxury brands Khaite, Saint Laurent, and Demellier to ensure these functional bags don't compromise craftsmanship or style.
The unstructured silhouette makes this blue suede tote by Khaite extra roomy. You are guaranteed to fit a day's worth of supplies (and more) in this chic handbag.
The brown and black striped pattern is so classic and makes this raffia woven tote feel appropriate for all seasons.
If you're looking to invest in a new work tote, here's the one I'd recommend. It's large enough to fit a laptop and has a timeless appeal that guarantees use for years to come.
Twenty-twenty-four is going to be my year for travel, and this pink tote will make the perfect companion.
The long, wide handles sit so comfortably on the shoulder, making this luxe handbag an everyday essential for running around the city.
Suede Sneakers
If you're looking to up your sneaker game this year, I'd recommend investing in a pair that has texture. The suede and leather combination is currently trending, and after purchasing a pair of my own, I'm absolutely over the moon. Style them with a simple black top and jeans to let the shoes take the spotlight.
I'm always on the lookout for sneakers that have an authentic '90s feel. These New Balances are just that, and the yellow suede is a warm pop of color.
The gorpcore trend is still prevalent in the fashion community, so these sneakers couldn't be more appropriate. This collaboration between Veja and Reformation strikes the perfect balance between sporty and on-trend.
This best-selling sneaker hasn't lost any steam.
The iconic Loewe monogram makes these designer kicks a popular choice. I'd wear them with white denim and a cozy cardigan.
The deep burgundy velvet and suede accents give these shoes a one-of-a-kind look.
