Trend Report
The Y2K gangs all here, from grommets galore to throwback vanity cases.
Its official: For Spring 2024, your accessories will have accessories.
Across the board, thesartorial pendulumis moving away from 2023s quiet luxury aesthetic to something more like mad maximalism.
Gone are the days of nondescript, understated neutrals (with steep price tags).
Instead, expect pops of color, 3D textures, and main-character hardware.
Bags in particular are getting a big rehaul.
Think Y2K-style buckle bags and grommets although theyre less Avril Lavigne punk, leaning chicly edgy instead.
Campy elements like charms are also coming in hot.
Affix trinkets of all shapes and sizes to your purses.
The kitschier, the better.
(Even Birkins arent spared from being adorned with garish knickknacks just ask Dua Lipa.)
If charms arent your speed, chunky utilitarian pockets will serve both form and function.
Ahead, more of Springs over-the-top bag trends.
We dont know her.
The Return Of Grommets
The early-aughts renaissance is going strong, and grommets are the latest example.
The metal eyelets were a common sight around Y2K, particularly on those ribbed fabric belts.
These days theyre just as stylish as top-handle options, and are meant to be toted out.
Kim Kardashian,Jenna Ortega, andKristen Stewartall have particular affinities for this trend.
Bonus points if theres a built-in mirror.
Incorporate this delicious, muted hue into your palettes.
Opt for cargo-inspired bags in bright, pastel tones for warmer months.
For a relaxed, effortless look, try this haphazardly-folded style.
Attach heart-shaped trinkets, kooky keychains, and other touristy mementos.
Your bag is your canvas, and the possibilities are endless.
Purchase a bag with built-in charms for no-brainer styling, or start a new collection of charms.
Take cues fromDua LipaandKim Kardashian, who bedazzled their designer goods with gusto.
