The spring/summer 2024 fashion shows are over and it’s time to take stock. FashionUnited takes a look at the accessories that will shape next summer’s trends, from chokers to tights to ballet flats and XXL brooches.
The choker
As a souvenir of the 2000s, chokers appeared on the runways of many luxury labels, from Dior to Patou to Chanel and Givenchy. Whether glittery, rocky or girly, the necklace fits the Y2K trend.
A soft bag that can be carried under your arm
The large-sized or even oversized handbag was seen in the arms of many models in the Spring/Summer 2024 silhouettes. This often unisex accessory satisfies a need for practicality that the mini bag trend had ignored. The handles made of soft leather or waxed canvas are almost never used because the bag is preferred to be clamped on the side between the arm and hip.
The bucket bag
The linear and rounded pragmatism makes the ‘hobo bag’, a type of bucket bag, an easy-to-carry classic accessory. At Hermès, Chloé and Valentino, the crescent-shaped model is carried in the hand, while Bottega Veneta and Dion Lee carry the bag’s oversized proportions over the shoulder. The simple shape, which was already trendy in 2022, guarantees timeless style and lasting value.
Ballerina flats
Ballerinas have been on the rise again for several seasons and will continue to be part of the game in spring/summer 2024. They are flat, often have a strap and compete with sneakers. The shoes can be found pointed and metallic at Luisaviaroma, powder pink at Balenciaga, lacquered at Akris or in a lace look at Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood.
Pumps as collector’s items
While ready-to-wear clothing is currently following the strong trend of Quiet Luxury, shoes offer the silhouette a disruptive element that disrupts the classic silhouettes. Spiked, faux fur or embossed, luxury brands have gone all out this season to offer pumps with an aesthetic that’s both collectible and Instagrammable.
XXL earrings
The earrings for spring/summer 2024 are particularly glittering and attract attention. In XXL and often in gold, the earrings enliven the silhouette with a cheerful chic that makes no compromises. They can be worn as a pair or individually to find a confident stylistic expression when the outfit is too minimalist.
Brooches
The brooch, which was seen at Schiaparelli, Stella McCartney and Chanel, enjoyed a second youth and brightens up formal everyday outfits. For Spring/Summer 2024, luxury brands are exploring their romantic potential as well as their artistic power. The brooch can be found in all shapes: XXL, flowers, animals or abstract, made of fabric or metal.
tights
Statement tights may be a niche trend, but it’s entirely possible that the collective mind will succumb to them. In pastel tones or light denier black, tights can be paired with long slit skirts or pencil skirts to enhance femininity with old-fashioned charm.
