Fall/Winter 2024 Fashion Trends From the Runway

As the fashion world makes a pronounced return to an age of wearability and longevity, pushing microtrends and statement pieces to the wayside, this season brings a wealth of inspiration for your fall mood board and shopping cart alike. With timeless and effortlessly cool leather accents, super cozy knitwear, and sharply tailored trousers all popping up across collections this season, we're looking forward to seeing what's in store as the international runways begin. 

As the runways heat up, L'OFFICIEL has rounded up the Fall/Winter 2024 fashion trends designers are threading through their collections this fashion month.

Cold weather seasons signal an abundance of overcoats, usually in the form of wool or tweed, but this season, designers have elevated their outerwear options. Feathers, fringe, and woven designs were featured on the runways this season, as seen in the collections of Gabriela Hearst, Tory Burch, Stella McCartney, Alexander McQueen, and Ulla Johnson.

Pantless looks have been slowly but surely easing their way back into the fashion zeitgeist over the past year, but this season, this bold look was shown in full force. This leg-forward trend made an appearance on the Chloé runway in an olive green knit look, and in a sleek Dior look that takes business casual to the extreme, a true testament to the versatility of the no-pants look.

Fall/Winter 2024 Fashion Trends: Plaid

For this season's collections, designers overwhelmingly opted to work plaid into their pieces, seamlessly weaving the quintessential fall pattern into designs. The print acted primarily as the center of each design, as seen in the cozy wool overcoats on the Chloé runway, in Helmut Lang's vintage scarf-inspired look, and as a standout structured blazer à la Rabanne.

For years, capes and shawls have served as a fashion statement, frequently worn by celebrities like Kendall Jenner. However, this fashion month, brands have emphatically declared it's time for all things shawl. Offering a touch of luxury and regality, shawls elevate an ensemble with a nod to Old Hollywood glamour. Showcasing the look through figure-hugging, wrapped silhouettes, cropped variants, and asymmetric hemlines, brands like Proenza Schouler, Jane Wade, Issey Miyake, and Fendi agree this is a Fall/Winter 2024 fashion trend worth remembering.

Fur has always been a part of fall fashion, but we are in the age of a resurgence. Brands have identified a distinct Fall/Winter 2024 fashion trend set to dominate this season. Acne Studios, Burberry, and Khaite showcased fur detailing, accessories, or full-on fur outfits on the runway, ideal for the autumn and winter months.
