After all four major fashion weeks have taken place, there is an opportunity to review the most important trends. Seasonal trends reflect how consumers perceive the world as a whole. The film "Barbie" not only grossed well over a billion US dollars, but also shared feminist ideals with the "girlish" Fashion connected. This had a visible impact on the SS24 collections. After the casual years of the pandemic, designers sought to return to tailored styles with a touch of elegance; be it in a classic way or with jackets and sweaters over flowing, sheer skirts that revealed the wearers’ legs. In keeping with street style, utility looks continue to be well received. In the upper price segment, designers also present elegant versions of the “practical” trend with luxurious fabrics. FashionUnited has summarized four fashion trends for you.
