Embrace the warmth of the season with fresh, vibrant looks that celebrate the beauty of spring and summer.
This season is all about breaking free from tradition. Mix and match prints and colours, wear head-to-toe sets from sunrise to sunset, and go bold with the most brilliant shades under the sun. Step out with confidence, get creative, and curate a collection of new classics—because this spring-summer has something for everyone.
If there’s one thing we know this season, it’s that self-expression reigns supreme. Whether you prefer to dive into serene shades of blue, from cornflower dresses to cobalt separates, or opt for the understated luxury of soft lilacs and lavenders, there’s a spring-summer trend for every taste. Consider the return of the ‘going out top’ with its metallic blouses, sheer fabrics, and head-turning embellishments, perfect for updating the classic ‘jeans and a nice top’ look. Or embrace the cool, effortless vibe of relaxed, oversized tailoring, with blazers and pants that exude a laid-back elegance, or even shorts and waistcoats for a twist on traditional suiting.
Don’t forget the essentials like double denim, making a strong comeback this season, or matching sets that are perfect for effortless resort dressing, offering vibrant prints and breezy combinations that are as versatile as they are smart.
These fashion trends for spring 2024 are your guide to making this season your own, blending timeless effortlessness with a modern twist.
Into The Blue
We’re all aware of that infamous Devil Wears Prada quote, “It’s not turquoise, it’s not lapis, it’s actually cerulean.” But this spring, when it comes to shades of blue, you can take your pick – whether it be Bec + Bridge’s cornflower dresses or Anna Quan’s cobalt separates. Finish with white accessories to keep the look fresh.
Out-Of-Office
May we introduce you to one of the best things about this season’s approach to resort dressing? Meet the matchy-matchy set: easy to pack, easy to wear and oh-so versatile. Look to brands such as Palm Noosa and Miimi Jiinda for vibrant prints, Acler for breezy skirt-and-top combos and Florere for pieces that look just as good worn as separates.
Just because you’re out-of-office, doesn’t mean your wardrobe needs to be, too. This season, create An Office Capsule Wardrobe with investments that always suit the dress code.
Spring Party-Saviour
Bless the return of the ‘going out top’, first seen in the late ’90s when we all thoroughly acquainted ourselves with the idea of ‘jeans and a nice top’, and now updated with fresh shapes and textures. We’re partial to a metallic blouse that looks great with literally anything, a sheer top that adds oomph to basic denim or any sort of embellishment that will turn heads for all the right reasons.
Tailor Made
Forget the staid suiting of yesteryear; the latest tailoring is all about fresh silhouettes and a cool, undone approach. Look to relaxed, oversized blazers and pants for a foolproof formula, or throw out the rulebook altogether by swapping your pants for shorts or your jacket for a waistcoat. This season, anything goes.
Denim Report
Long gone are the days when denim was reserved for casual Fridays and weekends; now, it’s about as essential as a wardrobe staple gets. In reality, anything goes in terms of how you style your favourite pieces, but in fashion, head-to-toe is the name of the game this spring. Team a twill shirt with straight-leg jeans or a denim skirt in a matching wash, then just add metallic accessories for contrast.

Purple Please
Want a colour that exudes timeless elegance and modernity? Look no further than lilac. From lavender dresses to periwinkle bags or even washed-out violet shoes: whichever variant of the soft purple shade you choose, there’s a piece that’s just waiting to elevate your spring fashion game.
