Stylist Dispatch: Top Trends This Spring

February 29, 2024

“Renewal” is a word that gets bandied about quite often this time of year. Spring can be a time to revamp – or even reinvent altogether. Shaking off the cold weather (you know, those frosty 65-degree Miami winter days) can be simultaneously transformative and restorative. New Year’s resolutions are statistically proven to fall by the wayside before Presidents Day, so now is the time to ask yourself, “How will my look evolve to meet the season?”

We put that question to Kimmie Sussman, the resident stylist at Aventura Mall, and our in-house style maven came back with four distinct trends and no shortage of options on the verge of their own Spring breakouts. Sandal embraces, pops of color, and even a few wistfully winsome nu-vintage looks – here’s what’s coming your way in Spring 2024.

FOR THE LOVE OF LILAC

Givenchy

Maje

Ok, enough darkness, let’s lighten things up a bit. Some might consider Easter pastels a bit on the nose for the season, and we’re inclined to agree, but Kimmie has spotted lilac as another color trend about to pop. And a pop is all you’ll need with a well-considered accessory placement – or dive into a definitive redefine from head-to-toe in lilac. It’s the Spring tone that can – and will – do it all.

NOD TO THE MOD MINI

Sandro

Maje

Get ready to channel your inner Twiggy because the iconic “mod”-look of the swinging ‘60s is making a triumphant return for Spring 2024. Defined by season-appropriate bold patterns, vibrant colors, and, of course, those signature miniskirts, this trend is all about embracing youthful energy and playful charm. Short hemlines take center stage, whether it’s in the form of flirty A-line skirts or tailored shorts. These minis go with all manner of statement accessories for a modern twist on retro chic. Embrace the spirit of the ‘60s with confidence and style, as you rock the miniskirt trend and bring a touch of nostalgia to your Spring wardrobe.

GRUNGE TO GLAM: REDUX

Zadig and Voltaire

Balenciaga

For some, the ‘90s feels like it was just yesterday. But for the rest of us, the grunge-to-glam renaissance is coming back around right in time. If you were around for it (and trust us, you just had to be there) you will recall the ‘90s as a time of cultural reinvention and coming to an understanding of what it might look like to live through the end of history. No wonder we all wore black.

So, when we think of reinvention, what better era to draw inspiration from than the decade that made black a year-round color?

Kimmie has predicted that Spring 2024 will be defined by the effortless elegance embodied in the simplistic, fun-loving, clean lines of kitten heels, slingbacks, and mules. Every year, as the winter months wane, the countdown begins to when women can embrace cool style and comfort for their feet, and this Spring is no different. Paired with cropped trousers for a day at the office or with a flirty sundress for a weekend brunch, a set of demure heels will elevate any Spring look with understated grace. Stepping into Spring with confidence and style has never felt this alluring.
