On March 19, the spring season will officially be here. But even before then, we’re itching to ditch the heavy winter layers in favor of brighter colors, lighter fabrics and the latest pedi-baring kicks.
In 2024, spring fashion trends include sports-star athleisure, mary janes and bags that can hold everything, including any emotional support. While more spring deals will for sure be dropping by the buckets, some retailers have pressed the fast-forward button and catapulted into the warmer weather season with some out-of-this-world discounts on the trendiest gear.
These are the biggest fashion trends in 2024 and some of the best deals on the spring essentials your closet is craving, and we’ll keep updating as more come into play:

Elevated Basics
Embracing the basic doesn’t have to mean boring. We’re talking classic styles that effortlessly flow from one decade to the next without skipping a beat. This year, the basics were on full display among the fashion spring/summer runways. And they definitely aren’t boring.
No matter how you choose to dress, having a few simple pieces helps not only take the guesswork out of picking an outfit but keeps your wardrobe timeless. So go on and elevate those basics with pin-tucked lace, extra-long hems, fringe sculptural rosettes, or whatever tickles your fancy.
Flat Footwear
Who doesn’t love buying a new pair of shoes? This year’s spring trends are taking inspo from the balletcore trend, with ballet flats coming back again as Mary Janes with pointier toes. Mesh flats are also a big thing this year, but since it’s an emerging trend, finding them on sale is somewhat of a challenge. But if you’re more concerned with getting them on your feet than getting them on sale, then we have our favorite pick for those, too.
Wide-Leg Trousers
Wide-leg trousers are one of the only true universally flattering pieces, which is one of the reasons this trend is continuing its reign in the fashion world, as evidenced by the countless interpretations on the runways for spring and summer this year. Whether you’re a die-hard fan of skinny jeans or a lover of all things boho-chic, there’s something about wide-leg trousers that’s bound to capture your attention.
Short Shorts
You’ve likely seen plenty of celebrities (Kendall and Kylie Jenner, JLo, Haley Bieber) sporting a no-pants look. While this bold and unconventional look might work for them, it doesn’t necessarily translate into the real world. Usually worn with pantyhose and a dressy top, the short shorts aren’t really shorts at all but the bottom part of leotards and even boyshorts underwear.
As cute as this no-pants style looks on the red carpet and fashion designer runways, we’ve found other options that not only keep your bum covered but that’ll make you feel like the confident person you are walking around in public.
XL Bags
In all honesty, handbag styles run the gamut for the 2024 spring/summer season. On the fashion runways, XL shoulder bags are the big winners, albut ending the micro-bag trend, for now anyway. For spring, the bigger the bag, the better. This spacious yet stylish carryall can effortlessly accommodate everything you need for your day-to-day adventures.
Sporty Athleisure
Athleisure is an enduring fashion trend we hope never fades away, and in 2024, it’s still in full swing. And when you’re lounging or running errands, you likely want to look cute and stay comfy. That’s what this year’s fashion trends do.
When you’re lounging around or hitting up the malls, sporty staples like track jackets, slouchy track pants and white sneakers, in addition to ringer T-shirts and baseball caps, will capture this athleisure trend best — even if you have zero plans to run a marathon, lift weights or be athletic-y in any way.
