Year Ender 2024: From Coquette Core to Mary Jane, top fashion trends that defined the year
Fashion in 2024 saw a blend of whimsical and timeless trends. Top styles included Coquette Core, with bows and femininity dominating Gen Z aesthetics; Fairy Core, featuring ethereal, flowy fabrics; the bold and flashy Mob Wife look and more.
Fashion is an ever-evolving phenomenon. Every year, we see some trends come and go, be it inspired by a viral video on the vast world of the internet or a pop-culture moment (think Sabrina Carpenter). Last year, Barbie Core had the world painting the world in all shades of pink, so much so that the world ran out of the colour; following the pink wave in fashion, this year, many "core" trends came to light. As this year is coming to an end, let¡¯s have a look at the top fashion trends that ruled 2024.
1. Coquette core
If you haven't seen bows everywhere lately, where have you been? Coquette Core is all about embracing femininity. The term "coquette" literally refers to a "woman who flirts," but the trend is more about blending whimsical, romantic, and feminine elements into everyday style and design.
A brief online search reveals exactly how popular the look has become, particularly among Generation Z. The hashtag #coquetteaesthetic has received nearly five billion views on TikTok. Pinterest searches for "bow outfit" increased by 190% in January. Pinterest forecasted "bow stacking" as one of the greatest trends for 2024, with millennials and Gen Z'ers incorporating bows into their hair, clothing, shoes, and jewellery.
2. Fairy Core
Storybook depictions of fairies inspire fairycore fashion and features loose and billowing patterns made of unusual fabric combinations such as chiffon and thick sweater knits. The fanciful fairycore effect incorporates ruffling, pleating, and gathering long lengths of fabric.
3. Mob Wife
Are you sick and tired of silent luxury? So, mob wives are here to help. TikTok is currently swamped with the "mob wife" style, which includes fur coats, black clothes, and leopard designs. This trend also makes use of flamboyant accessories such as gold hoop earrings, a leopard print jacket, or vintage fur for an on-point look.
4. Old Money
Old money, defined by its timeless beauty and understated richness, is gaining traction on social media platforms, inspiring both fashion enthusiasts and casual fans.
It is a fashion trend that is inspired by the lifestyles and clothing of the upper classes, particularly those who have inherited riches through generations.
This style emphasizes sophistication, refinement, and a sense of easy grace. It frequently includes tailored jackets, cashmere sweaters, pearl necklaces, loafers, and other accessories that imply a life of quiet luxury and good taste.
5. Mary Jane
Mary Janes are no longer the typical school uniform shoes. While this style has been in and out of favor since the early 1900s, Mary Janes have recently had a significant return.
This practical yet stylish footwear has been spotted everywhere and is swiftly becoming a must-have for fashionistas and celebrities alike.
Mary Janes are typically a flat, closed-toe shoe with a single strap across the top of the foot. This traditional design is still popular for more informal occasions, but Mary Janes now come in a range of styles, ranging from double-strap platforms to pointed-toe stilettos, making it easy to pick a pair that suits you.
