If your wardrobe is starting to feel a bit tired, you’re in luck: A new season is bringing plenty of fresh inspiration from the streets and summer runways along with it.
So what will we wear this year? Follow this article to know.
1. Athletic prep:
One of our favorite 2024 fashion trends is the return of the preppy aesthetic.
This one is directly tied to Miu Miu’s string of hyper-popular runways, starting a few years ago with that micro-mini pleated skirt and culminating in this spring’s Gossip Girl–esque collection.
Updated prep-school classics like polo shirts, track jackets, and button-down shirts are all over our feeds, too.
2. Boho:
While the word boho might send you on a stress-induced mental trip back to 2013, fear not: The aesthetic has been remixed for 2024, with new takes on crochet, fringe, and flowy tops that feel cooler than ever before.
Boho-aligned brands like Chloé, Ulla Johnson, and Ralph Lauren leaned hard into the look for spring—and we only expect it to get more popular as summer fades into fall.

Invest now and you’ll be set for the whole year.
3. Slim sneakers:
For the second summer in a row, chunky sneakers are taking a back seat to their slimmer, sportier cousins.
Paired with everything from runway-ready summer dresses to relaxed trousers, these trainers—often in bold colors like yellow and blue—lend a relaxed, lived-in vibe that feels especially cool this time of year.
Go classic with Adidas or Puma, or try something new with an up-and-coming brand like Alohas.
4. Little white dresses:
Forget the LBD. This summer, labels like Tory Burch, Prada, and Tove (among many others) are going in the opposite direction, giving us white dresses worth swooning over.
Whether you’re heading to a garden party or afternoon cocktails, these numbers are just as sweet as they are alluring—and they’ll only get more practical for the heat as summer gets into full swing.
We appreciate how easy they are to style: Throw on simple jewelry, and take your pick from walking sandals, slingback heels, or summer sneakers.
5. Kitten heels:
A wide variety of labels, from Prada to Rachel Comey to Valentino, showed exceptionally low heels for summer, meaning we’re in for a walking-friendly 2024.
