"My immediate response goes to the color oxblood, or as some are calling rich burgundy, wine, or cherry red. Whichever color name resonates with you most, it is the color we're going to see here, there, and everywhere throughout Spring/Summer 24. I particularly loved Gucci's use of it throughout their Spring/Summer 24 collection, with their oxblood-colored handbags being an immediate standout." —Gab Waller, Founder, GabWaller.com Product Sourcing

"Casual yet fashion-forward dressing continues to reign supreme. Spring ’24 is all about an elevated everyday uniform. A standout runway moment for us was from no other than Khaite, who took the ordinary tank dress up a notch by creating a sculptural, organza moment. We are excited to be the exclusive retailer of this showstopping dress. We can’t talk about 'The Extraordinary Everyday' without mentioning accessories. The day clutch is the must-have accessory of the season. We’ll have 40 options available, including styles from Jil Sander, Balenciaga, Ferragamo, and iterations of the The Row’s Margaux bag—which we all know and love. (We will be the exclusive pre-launch partner for this bag now!)."" —Libby Jane Page, Market Director, Net-a-Porter
"Shorts are a key piece for spring, as seen on the Isabel Marant, Khaite, and Prada runways, ranging from Bermuda styles that hit just above the knee to those with micro mini hemlines. We saw this trend on early adapters last year, whether it was the hyper-editorial 'no pants trend' shorts paired with tights and long wool coats, or longer tailored styles worn with matching blazers and tall boots. There’s excitement to show some leg, and as the weather warms up, expect shorts to be everywhere.” —April Hennig,Chief Merchandising Officer, Moda Operandi

"The relaxed luxe, minimal vibe continues. Minimalist evening wear that’s still design-led and super sexy from the likes of Alaïa and Saint Laurent, to androgynous but clean suiting from the likes of The Row, Acne, and Magda Butrym. Accessories to match this would be that understated, minimal oversized tote vibe with champions such as The Row's Margaux bag and Bottega Veneta's Andiamo and Hop bags. Ballerinas continue to be a must-buy on shoes but slingbacks are also a very key style here. Again, just adding to that relaxed, clean, slick style. People want to feel sharp and empowered but in a relaxed and comfortable way." —Kate Rowland, Director of Womenswear Ready-to-Wear Buying, MyTheresa

"Workwear being worn outside of the office is a trend that I believe we'll see heavily throughout this season. Ferragamo, to me, really paved the way for this. TikTok is calling it #corpcore, and with the growth of the trend already reaching new heights on TikTok, I feel strongly that it'll only continue to rise over the coming months."—Waller
