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.
