Unexpected Shapes
If you’ve had every type of bag there is (and some fashion girls have), the only way to add some excitement is with a trend that will be readily available in 2024: oddly shaped bags. From distorted proportions and objects to out-of-the-box designs, designers are having fun with shape and size, and this will continue (and expand) well into the new year.

Chrome-Effect
Whether it’s the Renaissance effect or a general mid-century modern revival, chrome is going to be big in 2024. “Cool silver tones and bold chrome will make their way into the mainstream in 2024 as people trade in their trusty neutrals for something a bit more hardcore,” says Sydney Stanback, global trends and insight lead at Pinterest. “We’re seeing this across multiple categories, including home, beauty and fashion.” The verdict? Chrome will define 2024.
