Rejoice: The spring/summer 2024 collections are beginning to land in stores, and there's so much to discuss. Now that the summer looks are making their way into our carts and even onto the street, it's time to report on what is actually resonating in the wild. Let's face it—not everything we loved on the runway will translate into a practical item worthy of our already-maxed-out closets.
We may have dissected the runways months ago, but now, we're actually observing which items are becoming popular and buzzy IRL, and we're pleased to say that there are a number of pieces that have managed to break through as *the* ones to know. Whether it's the pretty organza skirt from Carven's breakout spring runway, the Miu Miu x New Balance sneakers that are dominating our social feeds, or the new Bottega Veneta bag that was an icon of 1980s cinema, the most buzzed-about luxury items are set to define the summer, if not 2024 as a whole.
Here, we've put together our master list of the 29 pieces that are making their mark on style right now. These are unquestionably the items that have everyone talking.
Bottega Veneta's latest launch, the Lauren 1980 Clutch, is a re-creation of the bag that actress Lauren Hutton carried in the film American Gigolo.
Fashion insiders haven't stopped chatting about Louise Trotter's debut collection for Carven, and now that the pieces from the acclaimed S/S 24 show have finally hit the market, there are already several favorites to emerge, like this organza midi skirt that was effortlessly styled atop a button-down shirt on the runway.
The newest drop to come from New Balance's winning collaboration with Miu Miu is the 530 SL style, a camel-colored suede pair that features sporty accents like bright-orange and green laces that lend them a fresh feel. Good luck tracking them down, though. For now, they're only available via resale sites like GOAT despite their well-documented Instagram presence.
Miu Miu's rugby stripes are already making a splash, and summer hasn't even technically began. It should come as no surprise, but this fun-loving tee is a fan favorite for vacation and casual summer wardrobing.
Threads Styling Fashion Director Hannah Lewis told Who What Wear that these would become a veritable It item come summer, and we're already starting to see that she was right. The metal frames and '90s oval shape are a cool update to the black acetate shades we've been so used to seeing lately.
Love them or hate them, capris in all their forms are racing back into the spotlight. Still Here is hedging its bets on a certain subset of cool downtown fashion people warming up to its denim pedal pushers. The jury's still out, but it's looking good.
Tory Burch's Violet flats are a modern, futuristic take on the Mary Jane trend. The runway flats have just arrived in stores, and we already anticipate they'll become big hits.
Of all the viral Jacquemus accessories out there, the Calino bag with its pony-hair finish and circular handle is a step above the rest. It's simply a work of art.
Surfercore is happening if Miu Miu has anything to say about it.
Flashback to the '90s! The Row is single-handedly bringing back jelly sandals in all their nostalgia with the Beach sandals, classic flip-flops that come in candy-colored hues like scarlet and aquamarine.
The shape of this dress means everything to me.
Chanel debuted a pair of white Mary Janes with the detail in its S/S 24 collection, and our editors haven't been able to stop talking about them since. With the subtle cap toe and the easy twill fabric, we honestly can't think of a more sophisticated summer shoe choice.
Loewe's woven totes are a hit summer after summer. This beach-ready iteration on its Puzzle Fold Tote is a smart-looking option for all manner of vacations.
It's all about butter yellow at the moment, and British label Aligne's longline waistcoat just might be our favorite way to get in on the trending hue.
With all the talk of the 1950s redux, don't be surprised to see cigarette trousers rear their head again. Slim-fit trousers are an unlikely piece amid all the baggy and barrel shapes happening with pants these days, but their ultra-chic silhouette is such a timeless one. Our editors can't get enough of this pair from Lafayette 148.
While its organza skirts are a fan favorite, the square-toe mules from this Carven collection are an equally beautiful and entirely practical pick.
I'm already predicting these will become the It style of the summer.
Long shorts are poised to be a hit yet again this summer.
Calling it now: Summer 2024 is the summer of elevated flip-flops. The humble—dare we say "ugly"—sandals are undergoing a major rebrand with updates in rich suede and luxe leather.
From Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's "vacation in Italy" wardrobe to the top of our wish lists.
Loewe's iconic Anagram Tank now comes in of-the-moment olive green just in time for sleeveless season.
Barrel-leg jeans are *the* jeans of 2024, and naturally, Agolde's are as cool as they are wearable.
Taylor Swift is wearing these pretty flats on vacation in Italy right now. Just saying.
Gucci Rosso in action.
The airy summer dress of our dreams.
Another day, another beautiful pair of mesh flats to lust after.
Vacation season is here, and retro prints à la Emilio Pucci are already proving to be a suitcase staple for the jet-setting fashion crowd.
There will always be an appetite for whimsy in our closets during the warmer months. Staud's Tommy bag that TikTok can't get enough of is just the thing to satisfy that craving.
