Colored denim. All things oversized. Barbie …and where to try them on right now.
The trend: Pretty pastels and bright florals.
THE EXPERT: Jessica Murphy, buyer, Hanny’s Men’s Wear, Style by Hanny’s, Couture by Hanny’s, Hanny’s St. Croix
“Pretty pastels and bright florals remain at the top of our favorite spring fashion trends this year. The tea-length full print dress and wide bottom trousers are on everyone’s must-have list. Even men’s fashion has embraced a similar color palette with pale pinks, lemon yellows, and the color ecru in place of bright white.”

The trend: Cropped flare denim jeans.
THE EXPERT: Brenda Dahlstrom, Co-Owner of Hers and On Track Boutique
“The cropped flare denim jean is the perfect length to show off your shoes. That bit of flare at the leg opening balances out your hips, just like full-length bootcut pants do. And we know that a wider pant opening lengthens the legs. Plus a frayed hem is the
most polished form of distressing.”

The trend: Wide-leg jeans. And all things oversized-fit.
THE EXPERT: Bryttin Henderson, Women’s Clothing Expert at Scheels
“In 2024 we expect to see a large demand in wide-leg jeans and all things oversized-fit. One popular jean that we carry is the Jean Good 90’s pant from Good American. We also anticipate seeing lots of pastel colors. Not only are we seeing pastel tops and jackets, but there are multiple styles of pastel jeans and pants that would look great in anyone’s closet as well!
In the jewelry world, detailed gold and pearls have been a hit. One of our favorite jewelry trends is double or triple stacking necklaces!

The trend: Effortlessly classic
THE EXPERT: Rebecca Calhoun, Owner of Poppi Italian Leather & Fashion
“Italy is undeniably a style capital— think Gucci, Ferragamo, Prada. This spring seen on the runways in Milano were Wide-Leg Pants, Vests, and Maxi Dresses—all fashion styles that are effortlessly classic pieces. Emerging colors that Milan designers are embracing are blush pink, mossy green, sky blue, and colors that complement the Mediterranean countryside such as Poppy coral, pink, and red. Invest in several pieces of quality that can
be mixed and matched in colors and styles to create a fresh new spring/summer wardrobe.

The trend: Functional, fun, and fashionable.
THE EXPERT: Kristin Welch, Tyrol Ski & Sports
“The fashion trend that we are seeing from many of the outdoor brands we carry is functional, high quality designs, in fun and fashionable colors! Tracy’s Marmot rain jacket is made of a
3-layer Nanopro fabric that is durably waterproof, windproof, and breathable. The jacket is just as appropriate for town as it is for the trail. And we love it in the cheery ‘Golden Sun’ color!”

The trend: Denim. Denim. Denim.
THE EXPERT: Ginger Knapp, Owner/CEO of Ama La Vita
“Denim is very strong for 2024. Jeans in wide leg, cuffed, barrel, and straight. Denim overalls, skirts, shorts, jackets, vests, jumpsuits, and dresses are also trending. White, all shades of blue, black, and colored denim. Wearing denim on denim is totally on trend! Pair the denim skirt with a vest or jeans with jacket, jumpsuits and jackets, basically anything goes when it comes to denim!”

The trend: Colored denim. Barbie.
THE EXPERT: Ashley Moberg, Owner of Real Deals
“One thing that we are seeing is colored denim, from corals and pinks to sages and brown tones. Helps make those spring and summer outfits extra fun, and sure to get compliments! Also, the Barbie effect is still strong, and women are loving pink more than ever!”
