These are the key fashion trends for spring 2024

Fashion trends for spring 2024 have begun to emerge and the fashion gods have spoken: this spring, the fashion vibe is bold and strong, and ‘fashion works for me’. Let us explain.

This season, fashion has got the memo. We want styles that work with us and fit into our lifestyle. We also want trends that boldly pop and sparkle.

Here are five key fashion trends that are everywhere this spring, and they’re all available at Camberwell Junction’s stylish selection of stores.

Business casual

Back in the day, business attire reflected the state of mind of 9-5 office workers: constrained, monotonous, and subdued. The flexibility and work-life balance being adopted in many workplaces are now being reflected in office fashion – and it’s a style called business casual.

This spring, fashion at the office is more relaxed and casual. Camberwell Junction fashion stores are showing loose suits, blazers that extend to the top of the thigh, pants that are high-waisted and skirts you can actually move in.

Styling tip: When it comes to wearing a loose suit, make sure you team it with a tight-fitting tee or knit to create balance.

Black and white

Monochrome black and white is huge this spring, but there are definite trends emerging.

Think big and bold, with sharp contrasts. That means black pants with a white jacket, a black dress with white tights, or a white skirt with a black knit and black boots.

To really nail the look, remember accessories. All black or all white hairbows are a thing – transport yourself back to Madonna circa 1986 and you get the picture. This spring, a pair of black ballet flats will also be in every fashionista’s wardrobe. Camberwell Junction’s fashion stores have every conceivable style so you’re sure to find one you love.

High-waisted trousers

It’s the fashion trend we’ve all been silently wishing for, and now it’s here in a big way.

Whether they’re casual jeans or tailored work pants, this spring the trousers all have high waistlines.

This season, the focus on pants is the silhouette. Forget flouncy embellishments, we’re talking clean cut and tailored. Go for a cigarette style leg or stick with the wide-leg option, just make sure the waist is high rise – then sit back and enjoy the comfort!

Metallics

The Spring Racing Carnival is just around the corner and before we know it the Christmas party season will be here. If you’re looking to up your party looks, the biggest trend this spring is metallics – and we’re not just talking accessories.

Gold, silver and bronze dresses and sheer tops are huge looks this season. Don’t be afraid to go all in and courageously wear two or more at once. If it shimmers, it’s spot on!

Yet, the fabulous fashion buyers in Camberwell Junction know that metallics are not just for night. Incorporate some shine into your work or weekend outfits by adding a metallic top to some casual jeans, or reveal a hint of shimmering chic beneath your office suit.

Show some shoulder

The cut-out trend is continuing to dominate this season, but this spring, all the action is happening around the shoulders – and it’s a little toned down.

This spring, fashion designers are opting for small, delicate cut-outs around the shoulder – just enough to show a little skin, not enough to worry about the cooler weather.

Maxi dresses and more structured tunics feature cut-out sections in the shoulder and simple tops are made that little bit more special with this design feature.

Fashion is all about inspiration, and Camberwell Junction, with its huge selection of big-brand fashion stores and independent boutiques, is the place to go for all your spring fashion needs.
