Just a few months back when we kicked off 2024, I was thriving on that clean slate and "the world is your oyster" feeling as I thought about the trends I was leaving in the past and those I chose to bring along for the rest of winter. Since 2024 is going to be my most stylish year yet, I had to do a little digging on the trends I'm remaining committed to, and the ones I'm leaving in the dust.
Keep scrolling to see which trends I'm still wearing and loving, and which ones I'm kicking to the curb.
IN: FUR JACKETS
OUT: OVERSIZE PUFFER
The TikTok mob/mafia wife look isn't going anywhere. Think gold jewelry and black turtlenecks topped off with a big faux-fur coat to really commit to the look. By this definition, I have been having a mob wife winter for the past few, but celebrities, fashion people, and content creators alike are all making sure they have good faux fur for the season. There is something very '90s NYC about this trend that I love. It's giving Carrie Bradshaw on New Year's Eve. Sorry, puffer jackets—we'll be keeping you for trips to the slopes, but that's about it.

IN: SHEER/NAKED DRESSING
OUT: BLAZERS FOR A NIGHT OUT
Naked dressing was on everyone's minds for 2023, and in 2024, we are keeping the revealing vibe going. While this trend can be intimidating, there are many ways you can tweak it to fit your personal comfort level. You can always throw a jacket over something or layer underneath with a good Skims bralette if you're in the market for a little extra coverage. This trend is not only seductive but also one for the stylish and bold—two words I'm fully embracing for my 2024 style. This is the perfect look for a fun night out with friends or to pack on a trip. I am obsessed with the trend and thrilled we're still wearing little to nothing this year. Unfortunately for my corporate-dressing lovers, you don't have to throw your blazers away, but you might want to try leaving them at home on a Friday or Saturday night.

IN: TIGHTS
OUT: CARGOES
Consider 2024 the year hosiery makes its comeback. We all love a pair of sheer tights, but fashion people everywhere are experimenting with different fabrics and colors of tights to add some wow factor to a look. Everyone's obsession with cherry red has led to many red-legged looks, as we see above on Elsa Hosk, but bordeaux and lace pairs are rising in popularity. When you add fashionable tights, you're letting everyone around you know how just how chic you actually are. Unfortunately for the baggy cargoes I used to save and store for the weekends, it may be time to say goodbye.

IN: SLEEK STILETTOS
OUT: PLATFORM BOOTS
It's been about two weeks of the New Year, and there is only one shoe style everyone is drooling over: sleek pumps. YSL's signature sexy stilettos have been clogging my Instagram and TikTok feeds like never before. I swear I've never seen so many Lee Pointed Toe Slingback Pump unboxing videos in my life. It's not that I'm complaining, though. I'm just as obsessed as the next person when it comes to good pumps. Nothing adds a bit of power and seduction like stilettos, and they can up the sexy factor of virtually any outfit. Unlike clunky platform boots, these are all about streamlined sleekness made to make your feet and your outfit as sultry as possible. If you ask me, everyone needs at least one pair of sleek stilettos.
