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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
