Prada Spring 2024 | 5 Takeaways
Prada is a lifelong favorite of mine. Back when I lived in Zurich I’d often stroll through the store on Bahnhofstrasse. I never actually bought anything. But I loved to look. It was the spring 2012 collection that really got me hooked on the brand. The classic car inspired shoes were so good. I’m still determined to find a pair.
But alas, that is not what we’re talking about here. Today, we are talking about Prada’s spring 2024 collection. Because it’s a good one.
While I’m deep in the mindset of trying to shop less and be more intentional about the items I add to my wardrobe, I still think it’s highly satisfying to look toward designer collections for inspiration on what to wear.
Maybe you have a wedding coming up this summer or are struggling to breathe new life into your work wardrobe. While you may not actually buy a Prada dress or pair of heels, the styling and details can inform what you wear.
So let’s dig into it. Here are my top five takeaways from the Prada spring/summer 2024 collection.
#1. Sheer Details
Are you kidding me?! This is downright angelic. Sheer moments have been popping up for a while but this is the most beautiful expression of it. The simple round neck sheath dress looks absolutely otherworldly with the billowing fabric floating off of it.
I can totally see this getting incorporated into more high street occasion wear. A dress like this would be a dream to wear and would look so dramatic when the wind hits just right.
#2. Demure Shoes
Look at these little green satin mules. Could they be any more adorable?
I love a low heel. It’s practical and comfortable. These would look so badass paired with a distressed pair of slouchy jeans and a black bodysuit. Simple outfits with a pop of color from an accessory is chef’s kiss.
I have an old pair of leopard print mules in my wardrobe that I feel inspired to start wearing again after seeing these.
#3. Fringe
This look is giving 1930s flapper vibes but in a modern chic way. The shape of the dress is so elegant (that little cap sleeve) but the fringe makes it really special.
I’d love to see this filter down to brands that offer a more approachable price point. The details shows a bit of skin but in a very sophisticated way. I’m all here for it.
#4. Long Belts
An ultra long belt that wraps over is probably one of the simplest and most approachable styling tricks from this collection. Head to your local thrift shop and you can easily grab a belt from the men’s section and recreate this look.
Lately I’ve gotten very into belts as a way to add interest to an otherwise simple outfit. Would this be a bit annoying to wear? Perhaps. But it adds an undone element to the look which I’m very into it.
#5. Utility Jackets
Not to be dramatic but this one has captured my heart. An oversized work wear jacket paired over a refined and dressed up look is so good. It adds the perfect mix of unexpected into the outfit and just offsets everything in a very wearable way.
I’m very here for the mix of high and low and this is such a great way to do it.
Voila! Those are my five takeaways from the Prada spring/summer 2024 collection. What do you think? Would you incorporate any of these details into your wardrobe?
