My Trend Predictions Are Usually Right—These 7 Are Up Next

Not to sound cocky, but my trend predictions usually turn out to be accurate. Ask anyone—I’ve historically been ahead of the curve in talking about emerging trends and often test-driving them myself months, and in some cases multiple seasons, before they enter the mainstream. Of course, this is part of the task at hand of being a fashion editor, but I’ll come right out and say it: I think I’m pretty good at it.

Take, for instance, the capri pant trend I was trying my hand at as early as last September that’s now made its way from the runways to the racks at Zara. Or the same goes for the antique-style brooches I’ve been talking about for months, only to see so many of them in the fall 2024 collections. In other words, I tend to get it right more often than I don’t, so if you’re curious about which emerging styles are in the trend pipeline, you might want to pay attention to the predictions I’m laying out here.
