The Harvey Nichols SS24 trend guide
Step into the new year in style with a little help from Harvey Nichols
Sponsored by:
The start of a new year is rife with opportunities for introspection. Will you make it through Dry January? Will you stick to your new fitness goals? And, while those make for inspirational musings, for the more sartorially focused, the new year brings with it the promise of a new season and, therefore, a new wardrobe. The SS24 catwalks were bursting with big fashion moments and, thanks to Harvey Nichols, you can browse them all at one destination.
As ever, the key to updating your wardrobe for the new season is sticking to the trends that align with your natural style. Invest in versatile pieces that blend seamlessly with your existing wardrobe. Not sure where to start? We’ve scoured the freshest drops at Harvey Nichols to bring you the biggest brands and best pieces guaranteed to turn heads this season.
Elevated basics
Propelled by the quiet luxury trend that was popularised by Succession, stealth wealth shone bright last year with a focus on quality fabrics, impeccable tailoring, and versatile muted colours. For SS24, the trend continues to flourish with a hint of vintage business chic. Think Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy or Victoria Beckham with their roll-neck jumpers, crisp shirts, and easy denim.
Canada Goose Georgian roll-neck jumper
Canada Goose’s cold weather clothing expertise translates into this cosy Georgian wool jumper perfect for warding off bitter January winds. Layer under a trench coat for an effortless look.
Gucci cotton Oxford shirt
You can’t go wrong with an Oxford shirt for the office and Gucci’s blue cotton iteration features detachable sleeves for added versatility.
Totême whipstitch scarf
There’s nothing like a cosy scarf for warding off the winter chill and, with its oversized design and rustic whipstitch trim, Totême’s upscale take on this cold weather must-have is the upgrade your favourite coat deserves.
Extreme Cashmere N°313 Twirl skirt
Wrap yourself up in sumptuous knitwear with Extreme Cashmere’s midi skirt. Pair the flared beige skirt with a matching jumper and high-heeled boots for the ultimate polished look.
Metallics
From Coperni and Blumarine to Miu Miu and Balenciaga, metallics found their way onto almost every Spring 2024 runway. Far from being relegated to Christmas parties, this year, metallic looks will find their way into date nights, brunches, rooftop catchups, and perhaps even boardrooms.
Galvan Sienna satin dress
Effortlessly sexy, Galvan’s Sienna silver satin dress features a halterneck design and a floor-sweeping hem. Pair with lashings of silver jewellery and a sleek updo for a showstopping evening look.
Rotate Birger Christensen metallic faux leather trousers
(Faux) leather trousers are having a big moment right now and Rotate Birger Christensen’s trendy metallic take is perfect for a night out. Pair with strappy sandals and a boxy blazer for a fun date look.
Petar Petrov metallic silk-blend bodysuit
Fresh from the brand’s SS24 collection, Petar Petrov’s gold bodysuit is crafted in a silk-blend lamé for a polished button-down effect. Wear with wide-leg trousers and blazers for a bold take on workwear.
Veronica Beard Delphine metallic tweed dres
If high-octane metallics feel too risky for work, incorporate hints of sheen with Veronica Beard’s Delphine tweed mini dress crafted with a metallic weave. Throw on the matching jacket and sheer tights for a stylish workwear look.
Girlhood-core
Building on the balletcore and coquette fashion trends of last season, this year is all about unabashedly embracing femininity. We’re talking florals for springs and beyond, bows on everything, layers of tulle, shades of pink, and everything pretty and pastel-hued in between. Designers have dipped into the delicate trend and offered countless iterations for every aesthetic this season.
Simone Rocha bow-embellished T-shirt
Simone Rocha’s saccharine confections are synonymous with femininity. This black cotton T-shirt features tulle puff sleeves embellished with bows, making it a great casual option to pair with jeans and ballet flats.
Self-Portrait floral appliqué mini dress
Take your fashion cues from Sofia Coppola’s Priscilla with Self-Portrait’s chic knit mini dress adorned with floral lace appliqués, crystal-embellished bow brooches, and detachable shoulder pads.
Kitri Myla floral-jaquard top
Bring dopamine dressing into 2024 with Kitri’s Myla top. The pink floral jacquard top features a mandarin collar and bow fastenings, making it a great statement piece for your weekend wardrobe.
Mach & Mach double bow ballet flats
Give your party shoes a comfortable feminine upgrade with Mach & Mach’s black leather ballet flats embellished with crystal bows.
Subtle logomania
While quiet luxury will continue to flourish, runway collections have seen a resurgence of logomania with visible branding growing in popularity by 7 per cent this season, according to fashion analyst @databutmakeitfashion on Instagram. However, unlike the loud logomania of the Noughties, designers are taking subtler approaches this season. Think logo plaques and embroidered patches.
Jacquemus Le Hoodie Gros Grain sweatshirt
Jacquemus’ easy elegance is reflected in the Le Hoodie Gros Grain sweatshirt. The ecru cotton sweatshirt is cut for a slouchy relaxed fit with a slightly cropped hem and a logo-embroidered tab, perfect for wearing with cargo trousers to run errands.
Loewe mohair-blend beanie
Accessories instantly upgrade any outfit and Loewe’s mohair-blend beanie embellished with the brand’s famed emblem at the turn-up cuff is sure to be a favourite this winter.
Moncler logo stripe-intarsia wool jumper
Crafted from 100 per cent wool, Moncler’s striped intarsia knit jumper features a crew neck and a logo plaque at the chest. With versatile black and white stripes, this is a jumper you’ll return to every winter.
Ganni logo-intarsia cotton-blend vest
The ultimate cool-girl brand, Ganni gives the classic vest a spring-ready upgrade that’ll look great on its own over faded jeans or worn over a tailored shirt with wide-leg trousers for a more polished look.
Large bags
After Succession gave us last year’s best fashion meme with the “ludicrously capacious bag”, big bags aren’t going anywhere this year. Oversized carryalls promising to hold your essentials and more are set to take over. Lean into the rising indie sleaze trend and accessorise yours with chains, keychains and charms.
Saint Laurent Jamie XL shoulder bag
Saint Laurent’s Jamie bag exemplifies Parisian sophistication. Crafted from soft brown leather with quilted stitching, it features the YSL logo plaque on the front and gold-tone chain shoulder straps.
Acne Studios Musubi leather tote
Acne Studios’ street-style chic aesthetic translates into the slouchy Musubi leather tote crafted from leather with knotted sides, a shoulder strap, and a debossed logo.
Coperni XL Swipe bucket bag
Coperni’s Swipe bags were inspired by the ‘swipe to unlock’ feature of smartphones. This XL iteration is crafted with crocodile-effect leather and is perfect for comfortably toting your laptop around all day.
Marni logo-embroidered raffia tote
Get ready for summer early with Marni’s large raffia tote bag adorned with an embroidered logo. With two shoulder straps and a zip-fastening compartment, this is the perfect beach bag for when the time finally comes to jet off.
Beauty trends
While updating your wardrobe is all well and good, you’ll need to be clued up on 2024’s biggest beauty trends to complete the ensemble. Beauty notes for the new year include fresh glowy skin and pastel shades that complement the girlhood-core and balletcore looks. Think skincare supplements for a natural glow, oodles of blush, and pops of cherry red.
Nars Lunar New Year Quad eyeshadow
Dip into the official Pantone Colour of the Year, Peach Fuzz, with Nars’ Lunar New Year quad eyeshadow palette. The smudge-proof palette includes soft peach, brown, nude, and a shimmery metallic shade for building up all manner of elegant looks.
Fenty Beauty strawberry Pop Match Stix
Get a flushed cold-weather look with Fenty Beauty’s strawberry Pop Match Stix. The creamy formula reacts with the skin’s natural chemistry to deliver a rosy tint suited to you and can be used on the cheeks and lips.
Tom Ford liquid lip luxe matte
Cherry red was popular among designers last year and we’re taking the alluring shade into 2024. Tom Ford’s scarlet stiletto liquid lipstick is infused with black rose oil and seaweed extracts for a matte look that feels smooth and hydrating.
Lyma Supplement starter kit
Skincare supplements are a great way to boost your internal health and glow. Formulated by Dr Paul Clayton, Lyma delivers a potent blend of ingredients, such as ashwagandha and vita-algae D3, to help boost immunity, productivity, and luminosity.
