Women’s fashion trends that I noticed this year
Okay, so I was scrolling through TikTok the other day, and it hit me: women’s fashion in 2024 has taken a very specific turn. Oversized shirts, baggy pants, and jorts (yes, jorts) are everywhere. If you blinked, you might think we’re in 2019 again, except with more Sambas and fewer Adidas Superstars. And apparently, I’m not the only one who noticed because a viral Reddit thread is absolutely going off about these trends.
Are We All Dressing Like Billie Eilish Now?
One commenter summed it up perfectly: “A lot of this feels Billie Eilish-coded.” And honestly? Now that they said it, I can’t unsee it either.
But not everyone is vibing with the current fashion moment. Some are fully embracing the slouchy, effortlessly cool aesthetic, while others are already waiting for this era to pass. Let’s break it down.
The Rise of Oversized Everything
Baggy clothing has officially taken over. Think loose graphic tees, oversized hoodies, wide-leg jeans, and enough layers to make you look like you got lost in your dad’s closet.
Fashion cycles are nothing new, but this trend has real Y2K energy—except instead of bedazzled baby tees and low-rise jeans, we’re all swimming in denim and extra-large thrifted finds. One Redditor even compared it to early 2000s skater fashion, saying: “Hollister men’s side looks identical to Bass Pro Shop right now, NASCAR T-shirts and everything.”
And here’s the wild part: major brands are fully leaning into this. Abercrombie and Hollister, which once defined the fitted aesthetic of the 2010s, are now stocked with camo cargo pants and distressed jorts. One commenter said: “I walked into Abercrombie and saw that camo shit there. I couldn’t believe my eyes.”
Jorts Are Back—And People Have Thoughts
Look, jorts (jean shorts, for the uninitiated) are one of those items that feel like they should’ve stayed in 2010. But here they are, making a full-blown comeback, and people are not happy about it.
One top-voted comment summed it up in just three words: “The jorts are the worst.” And the replies? Pure chaos:
“Agreed 🤢”
“I tried them on once and immediately regretted everything.”
“I actually think they’re kinda cute???”
Love them or hate them, jorts are having a moment. Whether this is a blessing or a curse remains to be seen.
Sambas Are Giving 2016 Flashbacks
Another major talking point? Adidas Sambas. If you went to college in the mid-2010s, you probably remember a different Adidas moment—Superstars were the shoe. But now, Sambas are everywhere, and they’re bringing up some serious nostalgia.
Redditors are divided on whether this trend actually feels fresh or if it’s just another cycle repeating itself:
“Sambas bring back memories of 2016 for me.”
“Nah, 2016 was the era of Adidas Superstars, not Sambas!”
“That’s funny because my school was obsessed with Sambas back then too!”
Either way, if you haven’t bought a pair yet, give it a few weeks—your FYP will probably convince you otherwise.
Low-Rise Jeans Are Creeping Back
If the thought of low-rise jeans sends a shiver down your spine, brace yourself—they’re coming back. They never fully replaced mid and high-rise styles, but they’re popping up everywhere again.
One person put it bluntly: “Low-rise is back on the menu, girls.”
But before you panic, some are finding a silver lining: “It’s been back for a few years already, but it hasn’t made mid and high-rise less available. Personally, I enjoy low-rise—it works well with my short torso.”
So, Where Do You Stand?
Fashion trends come and go, and we’re probably only a few years away from seeing skinny jeans and peplum tops creep back into the rotation (don’t act like it won’t happen). But for now, oversized everything, jorts, Sambas, and the return of low-rise jeans are setting the tone for 2024.
Are you embracing the trends, or are you waiting for the next fashion cycle to bring something new? Let’s hear it—drop your hot takes in the comments!
