Jenna Ortega’s Wednesday style, alternative hues and chic style are the top three of the 2023/2024 school fashion trends. Experts of the Russian clothing brand Gloria Jeans told socialbites.ca about this.
“One of the main trends is the dark academy aesthetic, which Jenna Ortega showed so well in Wednesday’s TV series. In style, this direction came from fiction—often dark and gothic—whose subjects emerged on college campuses,” they explained.
Experts explained that the dark academy color palette consists mainly of dark colors: black, graphite gray, dark walnut.
“They often contrast with white. Experts noted that adherents of the trend wore A-cut dresses with lace collars, blouses with “dramatic” sleeves, suits with vests, classic shoes with a massive sole – oxfords, brogues, loafers, Mary Jane shoes.
Among other trends, the preppy style was also noted, inspired by the shape of elite private schools specializing in preparing students for admission to prestigious universities. Its recognizable elements are the accent emblems on sweatshirts, cardigans and jackets.
“The preppy outfits include pleated mini skirts, Oxford striped shirts, oversized cardigans, textured knit vests, and tweed trousers. A trendy and unusual technique is to complement items with personalized items: short patches on collars, embroidering initials with contrast threads on cuffs or pockets,” added the experts.
In addition, the brand team suggested paying attention to alternative color tones.
“The color scheme of the next school year is very diverse: the designers tried to prove that business-style clothes are not boring. “Dark bottoms, light tops” is a universal formula, but there are many concessions to the dress code. For example, ordinary white can be replaced with pastel pistachio, sky blue, delicate latte. The alternatives to black are midnight blue and dark chocolate,” emphasized the experts.
