The fashion calendar is a complex and confounding puzzle—even for those who work in the biz. Spring and Fall anchor the industry and have folks traipsing across New York and Europe twice a year. Then, there are the pre-season collections, which occur sometime between the core showings (the exact timing is up to the designer's whims). Resort is particularly perplexing. Synonymous with cruise and pre-spring, the season that follows Fall has no set destination (for 2024, Gucci showed in Seoul, Chanel in L.A., and Dior in Mexico City) and serves as a glimpse of what's to come in the new year. To make sense of what the recent resort season revealed about Winter 2024's fashion trends, Marie Claire combed through the collections and curated our findings into one comprehensive report.
We tapped Brigitte Chartrand, Vice President of Womenswear at SSENSE, and Kendall Becker, Fashion Director at Trendalytics, for their insight and turned to the fashion search engine Tagwalk for hard data. Ahead, find a digestible breakdown of the key trends for winter 2024—and be sure to check out our guide to winter's shoe trends, too, for more insight.
