I'm far from a fashion trailblazer, but I'll admit that oversaturated trends tend to be a bit off-putting to me. If a trend has its own TikTok terminology, it's probably not something I want to spend my money on. One thing I do to stay ahead of the curve is try out seasonal trends early. I have a not-so-secret advantage: I live in Los Angeles, where I can easily test-drive spring and summer trends in the middle of winter. I know that not everyone enjoys this privilege, but with some strategic layering, anything is possible! 

Below, I rounded up some spring/summer 2024 trends straight from the runways that I predict will explode once April arrives. Valentino, Victoria Beckham, and Ganni are just a few of our reader-favorite brands I've included, along with shoppable selections from H&M, Mango, and more.

I adore how these shorts are styled with knee-high boots. 

Moncler and Rick Owens are a match made in fashion heaven.

Slouchy trousers are not going anywhere. 

This $21 price tag is calling my name. 

These pants are as comfy as they are stylish.

I love how these pants are styled with a ribbon-accented sweater. 

These are a quintessential pair of capri pants. 

These capris remind me of Grease in the best way.
