If you're ever struggling to wrap your head around the fresh trends that are set to take off, just have a browse through some recent celebrity outfits. Often decked out in It items, the celeb style set is the group I look to when I want to get a sense of what's destined to ripple out into our wardrobes.
With the new season coming into focus, I've naturally shifted my attention to the seasonal pieces that are capturing the interest of celebrities right now and which I think they're wearing to look more fashionable and current. Whether it's an item plucked straight from the runway or a new take on a classic design, the microtrends that are taking off at the moment offer interesting ways to refresh your wardrobe.
Whilst the name suggests these trends are destined to fizzle out after a few weeks, this usually isn't the case. Often off-shoots from wider overarching trends, these fresh designs are new interpretations that can enliven an existing trend whilst supporting the growth of a new one. Having captured the affection of the celebrity fashion set's most stylish, these trends are primed to last well beyond the next few months, with some even set to define what it means to be stylish in early 2025, too.
Read on to discover the four new microtrends that celebrities are loving right now.
4 WINTER 2024 MICROTRENDS CELEBRITIES ARE LOVING RIGHT NOW
1. TIES
Style Notes: Since Saint Laurent debuted its spring/summer 2025 runway show in September, celebrities have been quick to emulate the chic suited looks seen throughout. Just last week, model Hailey Beiber wore a grey suit that appeared in the collection, complete with a red polka-dot tie. Embracing this underrated accessory, Beiber wore hers tightly secured and layered over a white button-down. Also participating in the new-season trend, fellow model Didi Stone styled a monochrome tie with a white button-down and black high-waisted trousers, asserting that the tie trend is on its way up.
