New York Fashion Week, the bi-annual celebration of fashion and culture, was one for the books this past season. From established luxury brands to emerging designers, the runway shows offered a glimpse into the creativity, trends and upcoming style tips we’re all taking a few notes from. The Proenza Schouler Fall/Winter 2024 fashion show, a captivating display of modernity, sophistication, and artistic innovation, was a prime example and one of the stand outs of the season. The collection featured a masterful blend of luxurious fabrics, bold silhouettes, and intricate detailing, showcasing the designers’ impeccable craftsmanship and keen eye for design. As style lovers, naturally we’ve taken notes from the show styling as they’ve presented timeless silhouettes intertwined with contemporary aesthetics. Peep below for the style tips to copy from the Proenza Schouler Fall/Winter 2024 fashion show we’ve picked up along the way.
ACCENTUATE YOUR PROPORTIONS
Custom fit and intricate tailoring are some of the biggest style tips we took from the show. The designer carefully designed flattering pieces that maintain a visual balance by emphasizing certain areas of the body while downplaying others. Pairing voluminous tops with fitted bottoms or vice versa can create a balanced silhouette.
MIXING TEXTURES
Mixing textures is a surefire way to add depth, visual interest, and dimension to an outfit. It involves combining different fabrics, finishes, and materials to create a rich and dynamic look. Pairing smooth textures like silk, satin, or leather with rougher textures like denim, knit, or tweed creates an interesting juxtaposition. The F/W Proenza show has done a standout job at this mixing and matching fur with leather, knits with leather, leather on leather and so on.
LESS IS MORE
Monochromatic outfits are a timeless and sophisticated way to make a statement with your style. This style tip involves dressing in varying shades of a single color, creating a cohesive and harmonious look from head to toe. We’ve seen great examples of this in their all red, all white and all black monochromatic looks, which always make for clean sophisticated outfits.
PLAYING WITH VOLUME
From full skirts and oversized sleeves to statement silhouettes, Proenza has declared elegance over its silhouettes. Much like accentuating your proportions, it’s also important to play with volume as this can create a more streamlined look while keeping it fun & fresh.
KNOWING YOUR COLORS
Choosing and knowing the right colors for your complexion can make a huge difference in your overall appearance. Playing with color is also another great way in expressing your personality and personal style while setting the right tone.
SHOWING OFF SKIN
Revealing the right amount of skin can add a touch of sensuality and elegance to your outfit. Whether it’s a subtle cutout, an off-the-shoulder neckline, or a backless dress, Proenza Schouler has shown skin in a tasteful and understated way that exude sophistication and allure without being overly revealing.
CLUTCHING
One of the biggest bag trends of the season is wearing your bag as a clutch and Proenza has definitely carried on the tradition. This is an easy trend to incorporate into your wardrobe, as clutch bags come in an array of shapes, sizes, and designs, making them versatile accessories that can elevate any look. Whether you’re attending a formal event or a night out with friends, a clutch bag adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to your ensemble.
POP OF RED
Red, the color of the season for another season, isn’t going away anytime soon. For fall winter Proenza uses red as either a pop of color or the statement color in their lineup of looks. Even though red is a bold color it’s also versatile enough to be styled in a variety of ways to suit different occasions and personal styles which Proenza showcases. For a classic and timeless look, pair a red piece with neutral accessories like black or white. To make a statement, wear an all red look as Proenza sets an example for red dressing.
