The 7 Biggest Spring 2024 Trends From Paris Fashion Week

The trends we see at Paris Fashion Week don’t just bookend the season: They also tend to reflect the biggest sartorial takeaways from the past month of runways, presentations and collection unveilings. 

For Spring 2024, there’s an emphasis on material work (as seen in the tulle veils covering other pieces at shows like Givenchy and Ann Demuelemeester, or the 3D plastic bouquets at Balmain) and ideas that feel timely, but not fleeting through little but thoughtful flourishes, whether it’s a keyhole peekaboo cutout or wrapped shoulders, that can make any outfit feel special. This reflects the overarching theme we’ve seen across New York, London, Paris and Milan, of clothes that catch your attention without calling for it so explicitly. 

Keep scrolling to see the biggest trends at Spring 2024 from Paris Fashion Week.

Veiled Clothes

On the Paris runways, sheerness was used in a more literal suggestive fashion — it wasn’t about sensuality, necessarily: Instead of having a translucent garment reveal a bra and panties underneath, the see-through layer worked a sort of outer coating, creating a protective window to a graphic tee (Undercover), a pearly beaded skirt (Givenchy) or just a really pretty dress (Lanvin). She’s demure, but she still wants you to know she’s wearing a ‘fit. 

3D Florals

The florals for Spring 2024 pop out, quite literally. More often than not, when we do come across blooms in the collections, they’re brought out to three dimensions as sculptures or all-over embellishments, like they did at Balmain (made from plastic bottles!) and Chloé.

Keyhole Peek-a-Boo Cutouts

The cutout du jour is a keyhole peek-a-boo moment, showing off a bit of the torso. It takes a few different forms, from a subtle slit (at Alexander McQueen) to bigger belly button windows (at Duran Lantink and Schiaparelli).

Yves Klein Blue

The Spring 2024 runways have proposed an unusual — but very cheerful — color palette for the new season. In Paris, the reigning hue was an intense, rich blue similar to fall’s “Cookie Monster Blue,” but perhaps closer to royal or Yves Klein Blue. It’s worn either head-to-toe (as seen at Issey Miyake), or as a statement piece that pops against neutrals (the preferred approach of Jonathan Anderson’s Loewe and Miuccia Prada’s Miu Miu).

Shoulder Wraps

Designers borrow from bandage dressing (and mummies?) by wrapping shoulders over tops and dresses so that the arms stay close to the body, as seen on the runways of everyone from Chloé and Rabanne to Rick Owens and Peter Do.

Weighted Blanket

Listen, fashion month’s long. And sometimes, there’s not enough room in your luggage to pack your emotional support weighted blanket. We don’t know for certain if this is exactly what they had in mind when working on this collection, but the brands seem to be drawing from those cozy, anxiety-quelling heavy blankets you want to wrap yourself in.

(Belt) Buckled Up

At Ann Demeulemeester, attendants handed guests a black leather belt with the details of the night’s show, signaling a motif that would feature greatly in Stefano Gallici’s debut for the brand. Rkoh also wrapped belts around its models in interesting ways, proving yet again that all it takes is one good accessory to transform any outfit, any time.
