Boy Trends: Spring 2024
As the seasons change and brands begin releasing new collections, my blood rushes just a bit. For as long as I can recall, I’ve always loved being the “early adopter” of new and revolving trends. As I scroll through Instagram, Pinterest, and catalogs, my brain files these little notes away. With the exception of the period of time post-college where I actually did trend forecasting for the junior’s fast fashion industry as a career, I have historically just noted trends quietly to myself and made purchases for my own closet. I’m excited to now have a space here at Little Boy Thrift to share my perspective on industry trends in boyswear...starting with Spring of 2024.
Statement Stripes
A less subtle, more “in your face” “look at me” stripe is emerging on the playground this season.
Thick lines, bold contrast.
The Boys Are Bringing Flowers
As we await Spring blooms to appear in our neighborhoods, floral prints are fighting the classic feminine stigma.
Notes of Nostalgia
Newly made or loved through generations, the vibe is the same. Notice hints of folklore and stories from long time ago among many Spring 2024 graphic prints.
60’s & 70’s Sport
Tank tops, short shorts, spaced out stripes, and contrasting color binding on all things comfy knit.
Kooky Characters
Artists have let their imaginations run wild and we as the consumers are invited to embrace the kookiness that lives inside of each and every one of us.
Stretch Check
For over a year, so many of us boy moms have been loving a classic race track check. Tapping into a bit more fun and a little bit of funk, we’ll start seeing more play with this pattern, including what I’m dubbing as “stretch check”.
Quilts & Collars
Emerging here and there…soft quilted jackets and vests, a collar peeking out. Maybe these two trends are more for your dress up days. They sure are cute.
