The major ready-to-wear shows for the ss24 season take place during
September and October 2023. However, the resort 24 season is complete
and ss24 fashion weeks have taken place in Australia, Spain and
Berlin. This means that certain trends and key items have emerged as
imperative to any floor assortment. Considering that ‘spring one’
drops in stores as early as late February/early March, it is important
to offer styles that can be worn immediately, as well as those that
can be kept for later in the season. Here are our picks for key colors
and styles for spring 24.
Key Colors
Black and neutrals are the gold standard for early spring but specific
colors have been making their mark too.
Neutral Tones
From beige to winter white, neutral tones work well in early spring.
