Okay, so I’ve been diving deep into this whole “trends 2024 fashion” thing, and let me tell you, it’s been a wild ride. I wanted to share my whole process, from start to finish, because it wasn’t as straightforward as I thought it would be.
First Steps: Getting My Bearings
I started, like most people probably do, by just Googling “2024 fashion trends.” Honestly, it was overwhelming. So many articles, so many different opinions. I felt like I was drowning in a sea of sequins and oversized blazers. I spent a good few hours just clicking around, reading snippets, and generally feeling lost.
Digging Deeper: Finding the Patterns
After the initial panic, I decided I needed a more organized approach. I started making a list of the trends that kept popping up. You know, the ones that multiple sources were talking about. Things like:
- Bold Colors – Lots of bright pinks, greens, and yellows.
- Oversized Everything – Think big jackets, baggy pants, huge sweaters.
- Sheer Fabrics – See-through tops and dresses, layered over other things.
- 90s/Y2K Throwback – Low-rise jeans, baby tees, that sort of stuff.
I jotted down these trends in my notebook and then I went back to the articles and images, this time focusing on how these specific trends were being styled. This is where things started to click.
Experimenting: Trying it Out Myself
Of course, reading about trends is one thing, but actually wearing them is another. So, I decided to experiment. I dug through my closet to see what I already had that might fit some of these trends. I was surprised to find a few things that, with a little tweaking, could actually work.
I also hit up some thrift stores. Seriously, thrifting is a goldmine for trying out trends without breaking the bank. I found an amazing oversized denim jacket that I’m obsessed with, and a couple of sheer tops that I’ve been layering over tank tops.
The hardest part? Actually putting together outfits that felt like “me” and not just like I was copying something I saw online. I spent a lot of time in front of the mirror, mixing and matching, and taking pictures to see what worked and what didn’t.
My Takeaways: What I Learned
After all this, I’ve realized that trends are really just suggestions. They’re a starting point, not a rulebook. The key is to take what you like, leave what you don’t, and make it your own. I’m definitely into the bold colors and some of the oversized pieces, but I’m still on the fence about the low-rise jeans. Maybe someday, but not today!
It was a fun and sometimes frustrating process, but I learned so much. The main conclusion is that I will continue to explore more to make it more me!
