We started 2024 with the micro trend mob wife, then moved through the Brat summer and now we’re knee deep in Christmas sparkle, writes Mrs Stylewright We’ve seen in a new government, lived through Swiftie and her Eras tour, we’ve watched the futuristic second instalment of Dune, the fantasy of Wicked, cheered and cried at the Euros and the Olympics, revelled in the 80’s and 90’s fashions in TV’s One Day and Rivals, and we’ve soaked up all the social media gossip. We don’t realise it while we’re living it, but what surrounds us will influence what we wear on a daily basis. You may not have gone all out for fur coat and dark glasses mob wife, but did you buy some leopard print this year? Perhaps you didn’t see Swifty live, but maybe you bought some western style boots? I know the fashions of my youth have come back around after I took my 18-year-old daughter shopping in Urban Outfitters – it was like stepping into my 90’s wardrobe! So even though trends start on the catwalk with, mostly unwearable outfits, it then filters through to high street shops with diluted versions that can be worn every day.
Trends are dictated by what’s around us – what we watch and participate in. This then transcends onto the street, and that street will vary depending on where you live – trends will be worn differently in a town compared to a city, or the north or south of the country. So, what have you been wearing this year? If I’m completely honest, I gave up being.
