These 5 fashion trends will define 2024, according to an expert
New year, new looks.
While 2024 hasn’t arrived just yet, it’s never too early to get a head start on embracing fresh trends. And according to celebrity stylist Micaela Erlanger — whose extensive client list includes Lupita Nyong’o, Meryl Streep and Amal Clooney — there are plenty of standout styles in store for the year ahead, plus one she’s ready to bid goodbye.
“I think ’90s and Y2K looks aren’t totally exiting the chat, but we’re starting to see a departure from that,” Erlanger tells Page Six Style. “And that is a trend that I would love to leave behind.”
And unlike the low-rise jeans and dad sneakers of the early aughts (and 2020s), Erlanger’s picks for 2024 are sure to stand the test of time.

Below, discover (and shop) the five trends Erlanger predicts will define the year ahead.
Glamour galore
Great news for fans of crystals, sequins and all things that glitter: “People are excited to dress up again,” per Erlanger.
“We’re heading into a new year — and a new red carpet season — and I’m predicting a real return to glamour,” she says. “Even if you’re not in the market for an evening gown, you can elevate your look with a rivière necklace, a show-stopping earring or an ‘It’ bag.”

Sustainability
“I think people are really into buying fewer, better things right now, and curating their closets in a meaningful way,” says Erlanger.
“I’m personally very invested in the circular economy; I both sell and buy resale. And I love it because you can find such amazing, one-of-a-kind things, things you couldn’t find elsewhere. And that, in itself, is statement-making.”
