Jackets with built-in scarves have been around for a while now—with the Toteme versions specifically kicking off the trend. We're seeing the trend evolve now with more cape-like versions and leather styles from designers including Phoebe Philo and Bottega Veneta, so we expect to see this trend grow even further.

Fitted Blazers

In 2023, we saw flats take over in a major way. As we head into 2024, the most dominant shape we're seeing are pointed ballerinas that are crafted with a V-shape along the foot. Designers including The Row, Saint Laurent, and Toteme have versions in their collections.

Furry Outerwear

There has been a lot of chatter on the internet about the mob wife aesthetic that is sweeping the fashion space. One of the key items dominating the look? A dramatic coat in faux fur, vintage fur, or shearling.

The fresh sunglass style to own in 2024? Acetate aviators. The sporty shape is a cool take on pilot glasses that feels less common than wire-frame versions.
