Spring 2024 fashion forecast: Insights from top experts on must-have trends to shop (2024)

Though it might feel like winter will never end, spring is on the way.

To set you up for styling success, we're breaking down some of the biggest takeaways from fashion month from a handful of experts.

Celebrity stylist Jamie Mizrahi, who works with the likes of Adele, Jeremy Allen White and recently styled 7 For All Mankind's Spring/Summer 2024 campaign, shared with "GMA" the trends she is choosing to take from the runway to real life.

Mizrahi told "GMA" that she usually doesn't style herself or her clients based on trends but has been gravitating towards a few specific things.

"I love it when spring rolls around. My uniform is a white t-shirt and jeans at that time of year," Mizrahi said.

We also spoke with lifestyle host Melissa Chataigne, who is no stranger to red carpets and trends to watch. "After being in sweats for the last few years, it's nice to see the return of power dressing for spring," Chataigne said.

In addition to fashion looks, we discussed one of the most important additions to any outfit -- footwear -- with fashion blogger Maria Makarenko.

Fashion trends for spring 2024

Sheer layering

"For years, we've seen the rise of naked fashion, which culminated in gauzy see-through looks that left little to the imagination everywhere from the runways to the red carpet," Mizrahi said.

"The momentum for sheer pieces isn't slowing down, but we are seeing a shift in how the items are being styled -- now in decidedly more modest ways," she added. "For example, at the Altuzarra and Carven show, sheer pencil skirts were paired with crewneck knits and pointed mules. At Prada, shift dresses made from delicate organza in a range of pastels seemed to float across the runway. What each of these looks showcases is a new age of sheer that is more approachable and more wearable than the completely bare looks that permeated the last several seasons."

Barrell jeans

"Barrel jeans are this season's most divided trend that can be paired with just about anything in your wardrobe. The wide structured cowboy frame pants might seem too masculine, but are surprisingly flattering and make your shoes center stage. Dress for casual Friday with a pair matched with your favorite crisp white blouse or boucle jacket," Chataigne said.

Extra dark denim

If you don't already own it, Mizrahi suggested adding a pair of dark denim to your closet.

"Dark denim with no wash is a great alternative to a black pant or black jeans -- there’s something so crisp about them," she said.

Oversized bags

According to Mizrahi, an oversized bag is a great way to always be prepared when you are on the go.

Purple tones

Goodbye Millennial pink, hello luscious lilac.

"The purple color was seen all over the runaways of Michael Kors and Masha Popova. Try a light knit or add the color to your accessories -- think hats, socks, and undergarments," Chataigne said.

Power dressing

"A focus on monochromatic looks in gray, black and beige are really having a moment," Chataigne said. "Elevate a fitness onesie by adding a power blazer on top or style a waistcoat with tailored shorts of the same fabric, throw in some kitten heels and you're ready to take on the world.

Shoe trends for spring 2024

Metallics

"Shoes with metallic finishes have a big statement to make and can come in any variation from comfortable flats to the strappy stiletto. This trend was featured on the runways of top fashion houses such as Alexander McQueen, Balmain, Muller, Tom Ford, and LaQuan Smith," Makarenko said.

Transparent or mesh flats

"With brands like Ulla Johnson, Bottega Veneta and Stella McCartney leading the way, think of transparent or mesh as a great light breathable shoe for the spring and summer," Makarenko said.

Slimline trainer

"Our sneakers are loosing their volume and are going back to the classics like the Adidas devotee," Makarenko said.

With its retro vibe and a more sensible feel, brands like Ferragamo, Gucci, Miu Miu, Dries Van Noten and Louis Vuitton are all moving away from the chunky sneakers.

Kitten heel slingback

"Miu Miu sparked the popularity of the kitten heel in their previous season and mass market is quickly picking up the trend," Makarenko said.

The kitten heel slingback can be a great day-to-night shoe where comfort meets style.
