Vintage trends coming back in 2024 From 1980s power dressing to short dresses and sixties miniskirts

In recent years, vintage has become an integral part of our wardrobe, partly to be more sustainable, partly to look cool. Big brands are taking inspiration from the past for their new collections, and celebrities like Dua Lipa and Bella Hadid are choosing pieces from the past to stand out on the red carpet. Even us mere mortals look to fashion history for inspiration to make our outfits more interesting, or simply to keep up with the times. So at the start of a new year, we ask ourselves which vintage trends will return in 2024. Will we dress like Priscilla Presley in the 1960s or Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy and Gwyneth Paltrow in the 1990s? Will we fall in love again with the power dressing of the 80s or the handbags of the early 2000s? A few key clues are provided by fashion month SS24, but if you want to prepare yourself for the vintage shopping sessions ahead, here are the trends from the past that will shape 2024.

The return of the 80s

Remember Ashley Tisdale and the glory days of the early 2000s, when she and other teen stars carried glittering sequin bags? Girlie and somewhat flamboyant a key part of Disney Channelcore, it's becoming popular again, as evidenced by Rabanne's collaboration with H&M (although there the reference was more to the Sixties) and Fendi's reissue of the Baguette with a shower of sequins. At the same time, there could also be a revival of interest in box bags. The film Barbie, as well as its star Margot Robbie, Taylor Swift and Sofia Richie-Grainge, have put the model back in the spotlight, and we can expect to see more and more of them.
