Personal style is just that, deeply personal—enjoy it without pressure. As a designer, I aim to inspire and encourage rethinking existing pieces or discovering new ones for versatile wear. In the era of slowing down, let's move away from fast fashion's one-time wear mentality to embrace pieces that can be restyled and cherished.
Get ready to dazzle this holiday season with the hottest style trends of 2024.
1. Long, trench coats are having a moment. Style them with anything from leggings and a t- shirt to over a formal dress to keep yourself warm and on trend.
2. Warm Neutrals. After years of cool greys, lean into the warmer tones of brown and creams. Color combinations like blue (all shades,) greens and pinks with brown will be everywhere.
3. Mesh. The mesh and lace look to add texture to any look is not going anywhere. Take a lace or mesh shirt and wear it over a slip dress - voila - a brand new outfit!
4. Plaid. Skirts, pants, jackets, sweaters - wear this pattern as you would a neutral.
5. Maxi skirts - cut on a bias or a straight cut maxi skirt is a year round staple that could be paired with anything from a graphic tee to a formal top for an event. The best part of these is that they are comfortable to wear.
