The 29 Most-Wanted Designer Buys of Spring 2024, Period

New season, new must-have Prada shoes. The satin mules that were featured on the S/S 24 runway have just now hit stores, and they're already the talk of the town with their square toe and beautiful satin finish. While they come in black and brown, it's Prada's signature lime green that makes the most impact.

Bottega Veneta's newest bag, the Hop, is already on the arms of the A-list. Kylie Jenner brought hers to Paris for Couture Week, and Margot Robbie is also a fan. The large hobo-style shoulder bag is marked by dramatic pointed edges that give it a unique shape. Bottega has mastered the art creating handbags that are both beautiful and practical, and the Hop is the latest example of such skill.

There's a singular item that's serving as the subject of every fashion Substack, Slack message, and personal recommendation in media right now, and it's the kick-flare trousers from High Sport. With an endless array of black trousers on the market, what makes these special, according to those who own a pair, is their sculpting fit that appears tailored but feels as comfortable as leggings.

The impact that Adidas and Wales Bonner have had can't be understated. The duo have been behind the buzziest sneakers all year, and their latest launch, a pair of Sambas in a leopard-print pony-hair finish, has everyone scrolling on StockX and GOAT to score a pair.

I spotted Who What Wear's associate director, Kristen, wearing this gorgeous coat in the office just last week and assumed it was a rare vintage find. The caramel hue and dainty ties make it feel so special in a sea of mob wife–informed outerwear.

I've already waxed poetic about this belt too many times to count, but its minimal-logo hardware and glossy finish continue to resonate with the fashion set.

We're already calling 2024 the era of elegance, and Alaïa's latest bag is the epitome of this new chapter in style. Called Le Teckel, which means "dachshund" in French, it features an elongated shape and double top handles for a silhouette that's reminiscent of 1950s style.

While the Tory Burch pierced heels are the subject of much chatter, it's these just-launched kitten heels that I'm predicting will be the next It buy from the brand. They feature an offbeat cutout at the toe that would be so fun to style with colored socks or tights.

If you're beginning to tire of your blue jeans, there's never been a better time to swap them for some cords—brands have started releasing corduroy versions of their most popular jean silhouettes, most notably The Row and its viral Eglitta Jeans. This particular pair is littering my social feeds right now.

Acetate aviators are set to the be the It sunglasses of the year if Bottega Veneta has anything to say about it. Its curved-frame pair in classic tortoiseshell feels like a nod to vintage styles from the '70s. 

On the heels of the Margaux bag's rise to stardom comes an even newer handbag from The Row that I'm starting to hear chatter about among fashion people. Meet the Idaho, an east-west shopper with an artful trapezoid silhouette that, like many items from the brand, is very "if you know, you know."

This just in: Agolde's best-selling '90s Pinch Waist jeans now come in a long version with an extended hemline that's ideal for taller figures or anyone who's seeking a puddle-ankle effect.

Tory Burch has done it again. This top, worn in black by Emily Ratajkowski on the F/W 23 runway, beautifully rebuilds traditional lingerie motifs with an undone attitude.

Love them or hate them, Christopher Esber's glove-like mesh flats are the subject of a lot of internet chatter these days. They're weird, but I love them.

It's not hard to see that belts have taken a prized spot in the wardrobes of fashion people this season, as designers have elevated the once-boring item to new levels of cool. One such example is Khaite's Lucca belt, which features an exaggerated buckle that makes such a cool statement.

Everything Ferragamo is doing right now is so good. While I have plenty of its new-season shoes and bags on my wish list, it's these boots coated in glossy patent leather from the S/S 24 collection that I can't stop drooling over.

Christopher Esber has always had a way of making dresses that are sexy but appear as though not even a sliver of effort was made. If you follow fashion sourcer Gab Waller, you know that the Vivenda dress is near impossible to track down at this point—that's how beloved it has become.

Named the Hug because of the embracing effect of its shape, the bag is a modern-day homage to a classic satchel bag and is the first handbag Creative Director Maximilian Davis designed for Ferragamo, so it's both a nod to the past and a marker of the future.

Paul Helbers, formerly at The Row, is the creative director behind emerging luxury label Fforme, and its minimal silhouettes and serene color palettes are simply irresistible, like this collarless coat that's effortless yet elegant.

With all things elegant and refined coming into focus this season, it should come as no surprise that long leather gloves are again back on the menu. If I were you, I'd use them to scrunch up the sleeves of a wool coat. Just saying.

This macramé fringe dress debuted on Proenza Schouler's S/S 24 runway, and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since. The style’s swishy fringes are designed to emphasize movement, and a knitted jersey slip offers a range of creative ways to wear it.

When we learned that storied watchmaker Breitling was teaming up with Victoria Beckham to launch a limited-edition watch, we were all ears. The Chronomat Automatic 36 is a harmonious blend of feminine influences from the fashion designer and the masculine influences of Breitling's timepieces.

I'm suddenly on the hunt for a sheer skirt to re-create the vibe of the spring runways, and this semi-sheer Margiela style is at the top of the list. 

Social media is overflowing with shearling and fur outerwear right now, but no piece is having quite the impact as the coats from London-based Ducie. With its shaggy retro-feeling texture and high neck, the Rochelle coat has made its way to the top of our editors' wish lists.

Mesh flats aren't going anywhere this season. While the designer pairs continue to shine, insiders are turning their attention to French brand Le Monde Beryl, whose mesh ballerinas and Mary Janes are handcrafted for the same premium quality you'd get by spending double. This burgundy pair with a pointed toe is especially forward.

I keep hearing the best things about the knits from &Daughter. I'm shocked this scarlet-red turtleneck hasn't already sold out given the huge popularity of red knits right now.

Everywhere I look, fashion people are swapping their gold chain necklaces for corded styles that feel a tad quirky but still quite elevated, like this Cornlian pendant from NY fave Ben-Amun.
