You’re about to witness the inside of my brain for the last three weeks—otherwise known as my 2024 style mood board. I’ve been scheming all the ways to refresh my wardrobe, and after copious Instagram scrolling and market research, I’ve finally curated my perfect edit (that is until next month’s new arrivals start rolling in). There are a few trend patterns among my favorite brands and fashion people, but the through line that screams the loudest is this effortlessly cool “Oh, I just threw this on” vibe. It’s an amalgamation of the “mob wife” and quiet-luxury aesthetics, and if that doesn’t make sense to you, the following 24 items are sure to clear it up. Below, you’ll find the apparel, footwear, accessories, and jewelry that will seamlessly fit into your existing wardrobe while adding just a touch of trend. Keep scrolling to get the inspiration and items you need to breathe some fresh style into your closet this year.
Never in my wildest editor dreams did I think I’d be writing about the “mob wife” aesthetic, but consider me intrigued. I don’t have the gumption to pull off the full look, so I’m starting small with outerwear. Fur coats turned up everywhere overnight, and I’m excited to buy in. Pair one with easy blue jeans for an approachable take on this new trend. Flat shoes are also on my Instagram feed in abundance: sneakers, ballet flats, and loafers alike. In my opinion, the best way to make this classic shoe style feel fresh is by going for prints and bold colors.
I’ll admit I’m not the biggest jewelry and watch wearer, but one of my resolutions is to accessorize more in 2024. The editors and influencers in the images above all showcase the chicest styles to invest in, so I’ve rounded up the pieces that match their vibe to a T. Below, you’ll see chunky pearls, the resurgence of bangles, and the mixed-metal items that give you the best of both worlds.
Do you know that internet trend of “wearing” your clothes versus “styling” them? This category is the latter. Take your favorite tee and pair of jeans and simply add one of the following items to transform your everyday look into something more on-trend. Whether you choose a metallic bag, sporty hat, or cute bow, any of these wardrobe additions will add that effortlessly cool feel to your outfit.
