Low-rise belts were a popular trend at Paris Fashion Week Spring 2024. These statement belts were styled around the hips, rather than the waist, offering a fresh and decorative alternative to the utilitarian accessory. Designers like Louis Vuitton, Miu Miu, and Miaou presented a more subtle take on the Y2K look, with belts that were both stylish and functional. The low-rise belt trend is perfect for those who want to add a touch of edginess to their outfit, while still maintaining a sense of sophistication. Whether you’re wearing a dress, skirt, or pants, a low-rise belt can help accentuate your curves and add a pop of color to your outfit.

Ultra-Oversized Blazers

Oversized silhouettes and businesscore fashion have already been trending this year. In the spring though, the two will join forces to make a case for the extra-oversized blazer which can also double as outerwear during the transitional, in-between season, if we are to believe the runways of Issey Miyake, Marni, and Carven.

Micro Hemlines & Knee-Socks

Designers like Givenchy and Ann Demuelemeester showcased tulle veils covering other pieces, while Balmain presented 3D plastic bouquets. These innovative materials are expected to replace animal or fossil-fuel-based textiles in the fashion industry. The trend is not just about the materials themselves, but also about the little but thoughtful flourishes that can make any outfit feel special.
