The 7 Biggest Autumn 2024 Trends, Straight From Paris Fashion Week

And just like that, Fashion Month has come to a close, my, what an impression it has made. While it can’t be said for every seasonal showcase, dare I say, the best of autumn/winter 2024 was saved ’til last, with Paris sounding off what’s set to be an amazing season ahead. During Paris Fashion Week alone there were a total of 108 shows and presentations to take in, which equates to one thing: Lots of clothes, shoes, bags and accessories for editors to now analyse. Less than 24 hours after Chanel’s show—an event that’s long been considered a highlight for any fashion fan—still soaking in the spectacle of it all, I thought now would be the best time to talk you through the key trends we saw on the Paris Fashion Week runways while they’re still fresh in my mind.

If I had to sum up Paris’s mood for autumn/winter 2024, it would be elevated wearability. Aside from some interesting play on portions at Loewe and Commes des Garçons, as well as a bag made of 99% air at Coperni, it didn’t take much imagination to see how the vast majority of collections would settle in nicely even in the wardrobes of the most tepid dresser. A/W 24 is truly a season of ready-to-wear refinement, embodied by one brand in particular which proved to be the toast of the town.
