While baggy and wide-leg jeans have been the cool new kid on the block for the past few seasons (and unquestionably racking up a ton of miles on my denim odometer), when I saw relaxed ’90s straight-leg silhouettes pop up on the spring/summer 2024 runways, it felt like a stamp of approval to lean into the style again. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not giving up on my wide-leg jeans any time soon—they are the defining denim trend of the past year after all, but straight-leg jeans have always been the silhouette I’ve gravitated to the most. They are versatile, look polished, and are easy to wear with sneakers and heels alike.
8 Spring Print Trends That Will Make You Want to Break Up With Quiet Luxury
Controversial take coming for you… I’m tired of how the term “quiet luxury” has been interpreted. Don’t get me wrong, the concept of investing in basics is something that I’ll always endorse. But as we’ve witnessed the mass popularization of minimalist aesthetics in the past few seasons, it feels as if something has gone missing from the mainstream. My theory? The magic is gone. Yes, style is subjective, but what’s irrefutable is that statement pieces are the spice of life. After all, anyone can own those traditional staples (e.g., classic button-down, wide-leg trousers, or flat sandals), but few can style them in a way that feels signature to them. The absent component in the current landscape is the acknowledgment that while the quiet luxury movement has been championed by more minimalist-leaning brands, that doesn’t mean you have to approach it from that lens. It’s more about approaching style with intention—finding the delicate balance between adopting bold trends and living in those “boring” but timeless things.
6 Major Heel Trends That Are Giving Flats a Run For Their Money
Flats have been the talk of the town all year, so this might earn me a few enemies but I don’t mind saying it: I’m kind of over them. While many have thanked fashion’s higher powers for bringing back a comfortable and stylish option, I’ve never personally been a flats person and the few pairs I have tried have failed to become my true go-to’s. In the wake of the flats renaissance, I’ve still clung to the few inches of height that I can get. And now thankfully for me, my flat-shoe fatigue is being met with an influx of especially fresh and forward heels that I’m predicting could mark an end to flats as we know them.
