Luxurious, Bold, and Timeless Leatherwear
Leatherwear remains a hallmark of luxury fashion, and 2024 is seeing it reimagined in fresh ways.
Leather jackets, trousers, dresses and even mini skirts come in classic and bold shades alike, from rich blacks and neutrals to eye-catching shades of blue, red, and green.
This key trend not only highlights the material’s versatility but also underscores the shift towards fashion that focuses on timeless appeal.

Elevated Knitwear for Comfort
Knitwear is having a moment beyond seasonal appeal—this year, it’s an essential for luxurious comfort year-round.
Designers are elevating knits with intricate patterns and unique textures, transforming cosy sweaters and form-fitting knit dresses into casual, chic wardrobe staples that pair comfort with elegance.
Perfect for layering, knitwear is endlessly versatile. Look for pieces with ribbed textures, asymmetrical cuts, or subtle embellishments to add a stylish twist to your outfit.

Many designers are now producing eco-conscious designs using recycled fabrics, organic cotton, and plant-based leathers, allowing consumers to indulge in style with a lighter environmental footprint.
Eco-conscious essentials often feature minimalist designs and timeless cuts, making them versatile investments in the modern wardrobe.
Stella McCartney and JW Anderson are some of the best brands that offer eco-conscious options in support of responsible fashion.

Beloved for their versatility, these classics transition seamlessly between casual and formal settings.
