Ironically, the throughline across the fall 2024 trends is that there isn't one. Quirky little hats and maximal accessories peppered the New York, Milan, and Paris runways—but so did simple wardrobe building blocks in line with easy minimalism. The fall 2024 denim trends possessed a similar sense of anything-goes variety, with designers sending out jeans, jackets, shorts, and skirts that appeal to a wide range of shoppers, from city-dwellers and fashion fans who are chronically online to those who are not.
Given the variety of jean types on the market, you could argue that the 2024 denim trends contradict one another. According to their runways, Stella McCartney and Ralph Lauren champion bejeweled styles with crystals and metallic fringe. Meanwhile, this season, Tory Burch and Victoria Beckham's best jeans for women were neutral, dark-wash denim trousers. Baggy jeans billowed in the breeze at Dries Van Noten, Michael Kors, and Chloé, but at Miu Miu and Bally, models walked out in super-duper skinny jeans. The latter showings have already sown discord on fashion TikTok, inciting yet another round of the Gen Z-versus-Millenials debating which silhouette is superior.
