These 5 fashion trends will define 2024, according to an expert

By avi maxwel / in , , , /

New year, new looks.

While 2024 hasn’t arrived just yet, it’s never too early to get a head start on embracing fresh trends. And according to celebrity stylist Micaela Erlanger — whose extensive client list includes Lupita Nyong’o, Meryl Streep and Amal Clooney — there are plenty of standout styles in store for the year ahead, plus one she’s ready to bid goodbye.

“I think ’90s and Y2K looks aren’t totally exiting the chat, but we’re starting to see a departure from that,” Erlanger tells Page Six Style. “And that is a trend that I would love to leave behind.”

And unlike the low-rise jeans and dad sneakers of the early aughts (and 2020s), Erlanger’s picks for 2024 are sure to stand the test of time.

“I like to follow more classic, timeless styles,” says the longtime vintage lover, who recently partnered with luxury resale platform Vestiaire Collective to sell treasures from her own collection.

Below, discover (and shop) the five trends Erlanger predicts will define the year ahead.

Kate Middleton’s most incredible recycled fashion looks over the last 20 years

By avi maxwel / in , , , , , /

It’s been more than two decades since the Princess of Wales stepped into the royal spotlight, and yet her sartorial prowess has never been more admired. 

From gracing the stage as St Andrews University It-girl to eventually becoming Prince William’s beautiful royal bride, the nation quickly developed an obsession with the way the Princess dressed – a phenomenon we now refer to as ‘The Kate Effect’. 

WATCH: Kate Middleton’s best outfits over the past ten years

“Women around the world wanted to be Kate Middleton, and in the early days when Kate mostly favoured high street brands, her fans were able to emulate her, even if it was just a token nod,” explains royal style expert, Miranda Holder.

“Kate manages to tread that awkward line between fashion and the restrictive etiquette limitations of the working royal perfectly – and all this makes utterly compelling viewing, keeping us hooked.”

Supermarkets head to malls like Green Acres as sites revamp, rebrand

By avi maxwel / in , , , , , , /

Exits can bring opportunities.

As retail landlords contend with filling large vacancies created by the exits of department stores, supermarkets are increasingly part of redevelopment plans to draw more foot traffic to the retail sites.

The additions of supermarket tenants often align with mall owners’ plans to redevelop struggling properties or “de-mall” them by converting them to open-air retail centers.

“In the current environment, the universe of department stores and anchors is contracting. The demand in the retail space is not to backfill them with other department stores,” said Eric Bunyan, senior vice president of leasing at The Macerich Co. The Santa Monica, California-based real estate investment trust is planning a redevelopment that will bring an 80,000-square-foot ShopRite supermarket to Green Acres Mall in Valley Stream.

WHAT TO KNOW

  • More supermarkets are coming to malls because of opportunities created by the exits of department stores.
  • A new ShopRite is planned for Green Acres Mall, a Whole Foods Market will open in 2025 at a redeveloped site called The Shops at SunVet, and Asian grocer 99 Ranch Market opened at Samanea New York in Westbury in 2022.
  • Completion of newly built retail spaces in the United States fell to record-low

As winter approaches, the change in seasons not only brings a chill to the air but also an opportunity to refresh your kids’ wardrobes with cozy and stylish winter fashion. Dressing your little ones for the colder months involves a delicate balance between warmth, comfort, and, of course, a touch of trendy flair. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to choose fashion for your kids this winter, ensuring they stay snug and stylish.

1. Prioritize Comfort:

  • Comfort is paramount, especially for active and playful children. Opt for soft, breathable fabrics like cotton and fleece for inner layers to prevent skin irritation. Ensure that outer layers are water-resistant and windproof for added comfort in winter weather.

2. Layering is the Key:

  • The versatility of layering is a game-changer in winter fashion. Choose lightweight, thermal innerwear to provide an extra layer of insulation. This allows for easy adjustment as indoor spaces are usually warmer than outdoors.

3. Invest in Quality Outerwear:

  • A durable and well-insulated winter coat is a must-have for every child. Look for features such as a hood, adjustable cuffs, and secure
