I’ve noticed a significant shift in the overall fashion landscape, perhaps you have too. The style now is moving towards a very elegant direction, we’re swiftly transitioning from the experimental Y2K trends and embracing refined, mature, and altogether polished looks. You might think of it as just the next stage of quiet luxury movement, and you wouldn’t be wrong in that assumption. But the current fashion tone is also influenced by the opulent fashion of the 1960s, which includes elements like A-line skirts, luxurious Duchess satin, and plenty of cinched silhouette.
I could go on, but for the sake of this story, I’ll get to the point: personally, I’m stepping into my elegant era in 2024 and have been collecting outfit inspirations I want to emulate in the coming weeks and months. These looks are all over my mood board because of their understated polish, both chic and easy to wear without feeling too costume-y. Next up, I’ll be sharing eight elegant outfit ideas that are easy to put together.
This outfit tells me I need to own a white long coat. While black long coats have long been a staple in my wardrobe, this gray-white hue feels more elegant and avant-garde to me. I particularly love its simple style paired with other neutral colors, and I’ve already started shopping for a version as the one from Frankie Shop in the picture is currently sold out.

Scarf coats are still very popular in 2024, and they look very elegant no matter what they’re paired with. I particularly like to pair them with casual pants and ballet flats for a relaxed yet elegant look.
Shop the look:
The long opera gloves add a certain theatricality to an otherwise standard winter coat, and I’m really fascinated by this pairing.
Shop the look:
Yes, when you pair classic blue jeans with exquisite pieces like this satin-edged hem jacket from emerging brand Liberowe, it looks incredibly elegant. Delicate ballet flats and a minimalist handbag complete this beautiful and refined ensemble perfectly.
Shop the look:
The simplicity of the 90s is the main theme I’m focusing on this year. I’ll be documenting how supermodels of that era redefined timeless pieces like black turtleneck sweaters into minimalist yet incredibly chic ensembles, with this look defining the atmosphere of “less is more” with its clean lines.
Shop the look:
Sometimes it all comes down to the choice of shoes. A pair of classic pointed-toe flats or pointed-toe heels can make a simple pair of jeans look very sophisticated. Doubling down by adding a pair of leggings underneath (a savvy move I’ve been copying from fashionistas this winter) makes denim look fresher than ever.
Shop the look:
Wearing skinny jeans as pants again wasn’t on my 2024 bingo card, but here I am, eyeing this perfect outfit, eager to recreate it.
Shop the look:
Effortless elegance doesn’t need to require a lot of effort, which is why I’m happy to be able to recreate this look that appears put-together without too much mental strain. Just throw on a scarf over your coat, preferably in a contrasting color.
