Watching the runways for the hottest trends of 2024 makes one thing clear: top designers are inspired by classic Western styles and bringing them straight from the ranch to the runway. Iconic elements like fringe, cowboy boots, statement belts, and more are defining high style and are not showing signs of slowing down. Below are the hottest styles curated from Dallas Market Center showrooms for style inspiration.
Trend #1 – Belts as Big as Texas
Belts are back in a big way for Spring, and that goes for the buckles, too. Rodeo buckles worked their way into the runways and brought back the nostalgic feel of the Wild West. Refresh your belt collection with unique finds and one-of-a-kind designs, pictured here from Barbosa Collection (WTC 14145,14363,14389.)
Trend #2 – Statement Hats
The most iconic of the western accessories, the cowboy hat, was seen on the runway for the Ralph Lauren spring/summer 2024 collection. Add your own pop of personality and charm to your outfit with a cowboy hat, available in a variety of materials, colors, and silhouettes, shown here from Serratelli Hat Company (WTC 14933.)
Trend #3 – Chunky Metals
There is a gold rush with accessories for Spring! Expect to see head-to-toe metallics with shining statement jewelry and loads of gleaming footwear and purses. Upgrade any outfit with a gold statement earring for a unique look. The featured earrings are available at Barbosa Collection (WTC 14145,14363,14389.)
