Aries: April is the month of change for you Aries. All energies are on your side, so be daring! Colors, textures and patterns are the watchwords of this month. Opt for a beautiful red jumpsuit with trendy sneakers and everyone will follow your energy. Beware of excess, however, as this could lead to a few slip-ups, but knowing you, go for it and you’ll be rewarded.

Taurus: April officially kicks off your birthday, so shine on this month! A long, flowing, brick-colored trench coat and sunglasses will be the centerpiece of your look. Now all you have to do is choose clothes you’re comfortable in underneath to give yourself that first gift: feeling good!

Gemini: Make way for lightness and creativity this month for you. Be up for mixing styles with a long trench coat and a mini skirt. All that’s left is to add a nice pair of boots and the accessories of your choice to radiate in this first month of spring!

Cancer: Be your own boss this month. Choose your best colored pantsuit, a white tee shirt underneath and sneakers to shine. Don’t make things difficult for yourself this month and do as you please, the sun is waiting for you!

Leo: Change is waiting for you Leos, so take the plunge and make a fresh start. Go for a total white look, pants and blouse or a long dress – the choice is yours! Add a colorful clutch and some chunky jewelry and you’re all set for April.

Virgo: April will put a strain on your organization, but don’t panic, the key is to let go and be daring. Opt for a midi skirt with boots. Pastel colors and minimalist jewelry are the perfect accompaniment. Your efforts will be rewarded, so take advantage of the fine weather to show off your best side.

Libra: Librans, you know better than anyone that this is a season of emancipation for you. So follow your path to pursue your dreams. The perfect look to reflect who you are this month is the steamy white dress. Style your outfit by adding a barrel bag and sunglasses to make a statement. Feminine and stylish, conquer whoever you want with this look!

Scorpio: As one of the most active signs in the zodiac, this month is all about slowing down and focusing on yourself, Scorpios. Your two must-haves this month are a blazer and an it-bag. So follow your intuition and find these two iconic pieces that remind you of the strength you have within you to live this season to the full.

Sagittarius: Bright colors, playful patterns and accessories are the master words of April for you Sagittarians. Polka dots are back, so go for a white skirt with black polka dots, a colorful top and fun accessories. Your strong drive will match this look perfectly, so go for it!

Capricorn: “Get out of your comfort zone” must be this month’s mantra for you Capricorns. The perfect mistake-free look for you is total denim. Opt for a denim dress cinched at the waist with the belt of your choice, or a pair of denim bell-bottoms with a denim blouse will make you an assertive and stylish Capricorn! What better way to shine?

Aquarius: For Aquarians, this month is all about finding the happy medium and making compromises. Try these two looks: the first is a pair of high-waisted jeans with a vitamin-packed blouse and a pair of little heels to complete the look. The second, the perfect candy-pink pantsuit in which to spend the month of April. So, which way are you leaning?

Pisces: Pisces, this April will push you upwards and offer you new horizons. So what could be better than opting for a printed and/or colorful dress? As the centerpiece of your look, it’ll boost your ambition and joy with the color the sun reflects on you (and on your dress).

It’s worth it to invest in a great bag, seeing as you’ll use it almost every day. But you don’t have to break the bank to carry around essentials and look cute while doing it! Here are a few perfectly chic and handy purses that you can get for less than a Benjamin.

Impromptu dinner parties mark some of the best evenings of your twenties. There’s nothing quite like enjoying fresh food with friends, wining and dining late into the night. Whether it’s for a birthday, Shabbat, or just because, it’s a milestone to throw your first party. Here’s everything you’ll need to make it a great occasion – minus the cookware and food. We’ll assume you’ve got that covered!

Candles, Candles, Candles!
Did you know that the word “candlestick” refers to both the candle and its holder? Confusing, we know, but make sure to grab a few of both for added ambiance.

Festive Fabrics
Wake up grandma: doilies are back. Doilies, and linen napkins and wicker place settings… the options are endless so choose your own adventure!

Florals, Darling
Self explanatory: bright blooms = blooming conversation. Pro tip: skip pre-made bouquets and build your own with loose greens and flowers! In this case, it’s cheaper to customize.

Save Enough Seats!
Depending on the length of your guest list, you might need to get creative with seating arrangements! Side tables, floor pillows, and folded blankets are all great options – and add to that young, bohemian vibe.

Spring: chilly one day, sweltering the next. What’s a girl to do? One word: tights. Both solid and sheer, tights are the answer to a day that starts in the 40s and ends in the 70s. Here are some of our favorite looks, straight from the ‘gram!

The ultimate festival hack: a versatile bandana. Keep your hair out of your eyes, wear it as a crop top, or soak it with water and wrap it around your neck for a stylish cool-down!

Little White Band Tee
This is the festival version of the little black dress: rep your favorite retro rock stars with a distressed white t-shirt. It’s a statement, base piece, and conversation starter all in one!

Spicy Scrunchies
There’s no avoiding a ponytail at a hot concert venue, but make it your own with a decorative scrunchie – velvet, velour, or Van Gogh: the choice is yours!

Crochet & Lace Tops
In the desert, these are doubly useful: they’re super cute and let the breeze in!

Aries: Fuel your fearless spirit! Step into spring with bold leather jackets and daring sunglasses, letting patterns reflect your confidence and embody the vibrant energy of the season.

Taurus: You love to splurge, but this month, keep it real. Embrace versatility with comfy staples and jeans, grounding yourself in neutral tones. Add practical elegance with a stylish backpack this spring. Your one allowance? A killer birthday outfit.

Gemini: It’s never too early to think about your birthday season. This month, paint with all colors of your personality, incorporating vibrant colors and unique prints, expressing your duality with artistic jewelry.

Cancer: You’re loyal like nobody else, Cancer, but you don’t often extend that to yourself. Celebrating your own achievements with monogrammed accessories that echo your perennial strength.

Leo: Keep it sunny for spring, with a sunshine-yellow sundress paired with a statement necklace that sparkles like your vibrant personality. Slip into comfy wedges for a touch of glamor. Voila! The perfect ‘fit for frolicking.

Virgo: Rally the troops (i.e, your besties) and get coordinated outfits, or, if you’re a part of a co-ed sport’s team, make sure you have a say in the uniforms! If anyone can do it, it’s you!

Aquarius: Aquarius, rock the revolution with ethical threads and earth-loving brands. Sport a tee that shouts a cause you champion. Accessorize with bracelets supporting your favorite charity.

Pisces: You’re in fashion flow, Pisces! Embrace comfort in loose fabrics and bohemian accessories, letting your intuitive choices mirror the fluidity of spring, where renewal dances in the air.

The 1700s are calling, and they want their corsets back! Jk, jk, but it does seem like we’re living our best regal lives now that this gorgeous staple is back in the zeitgeist. Even still, there are so many varieties of this throwback garment, from vintage to modern. Here’s what to wear, depending on the occasion.

For the party, opt for a casual elastic lace corset with straps, so you can dance all night without worries about slippage.

For date night, go for something sweet and strapless, and make sure to pair it with a necklace which draws the eye to, well, wherever you want it to go!

For high tea brunch, it’s your moment to go classic with a bone-structured front-clasp corset, and add a tulle skirt and gloves to really play the part.

For running errands, first of all, we commend you for skipping the sweatpants. But you’ll still want something black and fully secure to keep it casual.

For the weekend, you’ll want something that garners a ton of compliments to keep the good vibes going! We recommend a pretty, flattering color and an eye-catching material like silk or velvet.

Last month was Copenhagen Fashion Week, and we’re still reeling from the influx of inspiration from both the runways and the streets. If you’re not familiar, this Nordic fashion fiesta is not your average runway affair; it’s a celebration of Scandinavian style that effortlessly blends minimalism with bold creativity. From sustainable fashion statements to avant-garde designs, Copenhagen Fashion Week is a trendsetting playground that showcases the intersection of tradition and innovation. Here are some of our main takeaways on trends to come:

Power Clashing is back! The moment is now to mix as many patterns as possible, and one of them better be leopard print!

Texture is everything. If your ‘fit doesn’t make people want to reach out and touch it, it may be time to add more faux-fur.

The Reign of Dark Red. We’ve already written about the fashion world’s obsession with Black Cherry, and Copenhagen was not immune to the forbidden fruit.

Modern Bogcore. Its location on the Nordic peninsula means foggy, mystical climate informs a lot of fashion in Denmark. This year, it took the form in elegant greens and blues, with a casual focus on layering.

Heading out on Spring break soon? There’s never been a better time to go for that bold, short haircut! Short, carefree strands perfectly align with the laid-back vibes of the season, offering low-maintenance chic that lets you focus on the beach, not your hair. Imagine strolling through campus post-break with a fresh, breezy look, ready to conquer the remainder of the semester. So, grab those scissors and we’ll cut to the chase: Here are our top three short styles for the modern girl!

If you’ve noticed the streets are leaning more cashmere than casual lately, you’re not alone. The “old money aesthetic” has taken the world by storm, harkening to an understated wealth popular in the 1980s. If you’re looking to claim some casual elegance for yourself, here’s our official assessment of the 5 core components for dressing with a pinch of panache:

A trenchcoat isn’t just an outer layer; it’s the pièce de résistance that turns a casual ensemble into a runway-ready affair.

A long skirt adds a touch of drama and sophistication to your wardrobe. For this look, keep away from boho and opt for tan, denim, or black, with extra points for anything leather.

A gray sweater is the unsung hero that effortlessly conducts the balance between comfort and class. This piece is so essential; it’s like the salt in your wardrobe – making everything better!

Whether it’s a statement necklace, a classy watch, or a bold handbag, these additions are the exclamation points in your style story! If you’re not into sparkle, an Hermés scarf will do the trick.

Millionaires don’t need to impress with stilettos. To really walk the walk, invest in a nice pair of kitten heels or lifted flats.

Aries: Your ruling planet, Mars, is on the move. Embrace boldness with a red leather jacket. Confidence radiates as Mercury enters Pisces, inspiring creative layering.

Taurus: Lucky Jupiter continues to bless your sign, encouraging you to indulge. Indulge in cozy textures and earthy tones. Uranus retrograde suggests a style twist—try statement earrings for added flair.

Gemini: Spring is on the horizon, bringing you back to life from a social hibernation! Experiment with mixed patterns and vibrant colors. A whimsical hat complements your Mercury-ruled charm.

Cancer: Saturn retrograde in your fellow water-sign of Pisces calls for reflection. Opt for comfort and soothing tones. A cozy oversized sweater nurtures your style during Neptune’s introspective phase.

Leo: Now is the time to shine even brighter than usual. Metallic accents dazzle—try bold gold accessories. Jupiter in Taurus amplifies your love for attention-grabbing ensembles.

Virgo: These days, you’re inspired by dreamy elegance. Embrace flowing fabrics and soft hues. Uranus retrograde signals a style shift—try a bohemian-chic scarf for a subtle change.

Libra: Exude sophistication with tailored silhouettes and classic colors. Neptune retrograde encourages subtle glamor—try a delicate lace detail for romantic appeal.

Scorpio: At winter’s end, your allure is on full volume. Experiment with edgy details and deep hues. Mars in Aquarius suggests a statement piece—rock leather pants for bold empowerment.

Sagittarius: Jupiter enters Gemini soon, fueling your free-spirited style. Embrace boho-chic with vibrant patterns. Uranus retrograde prompts a fun twist—try funky sunglasses for an eclectic touch.

Capricorn: Dance with cosmic energy in funky, celestial-inspired leggings. Embrace playful patterns and vibrant hues, adding a touch of whimsy to your sophisticated style during this celestial rendezvous.

Aquarius: Mars enters Aquarius, sparking your individuality. Experiment with futuristic styles and bold colors. Pluto retrograde suggests a standout accessory—try unconventional, statement earrings.

Pisces: Neptune retrograde in Pisces prompts ethereal charm. Embrace flowing, pastel pieces, then enhance your dreamy side with a celestial-inspired necklace for added mystical allure.

With spring just weeks away, the tides of culture seem to be shifting towards a kind of hopeful romanticism. Taylor Swift has announced a dreamy-seeming new album, Tik Tok is obsessed with emulating rom-com heroines, and The Notebook is coming to Broadway. All this wistful limerence has given rise to an emerging trend we’re calling the Modern Muse aesthetic. Somewhere between bridal and boho, the white base of the muse’s palette says, “I’m married to my art.” If you’re tired of coquette and want something a bit more divine, this trend might be for you. Here are the essential elements:

Windblown Magic
There’s an almost tomboy element to the unkempt nature of a true muse. Work with your hair texture, not against it, to create an aura of effortless charm. When in doubt, a little time by the seaside or in a nearby wheat field is known to do wonders for the keratin.

Lounge Around
A muse exudes a feeling of total inner peace. If you can’t access that in this modern world, let your actions lead the way. Settle into your environment and breathe before you speak. A handy dried flower will underscore the point, at least for a photo-op.

Everyday Cool
The Modern Muse is an elevation of the extremely trendy “clean girl aesthetic,” taking pristine fabrics and glass skin to another level. Invest in the perfect white top – or better yet, a corset – to bring with you wherever you go. Even when you’re not in full muse getup, you can carry that quiet confidence into any situation.

Get ready to sprinkle some extra love on your favorite ladies because Galentine’s Day is just around the corner! Picture this: heart-shaped confetti, twinkling lights, and a playlist that screams “girl power.” Start with a cute welcome sign at the door because your gal pals deserve a warm greeting. Dive into the decor with an explosion of red and pink—balloons, streamers, and, of course, heart-shaped everything. Scatter empowering notes around, turning your space into a charming love haven for your fantastic friends.

Want to take it to the next level? Create a DIY photo booth with quirky props for unforgettable snapshots and capture the joy of your friendships. Elevate your snack game with heart-shaped treats and cupcakes that are almost too cute to eat. Don’t forget a signature Galentine’s Day punch to keep the party spirits high! The pièce de résistance? A cozy corner with cushions and blankets for those heartfelt conversations and laughter-filled moments. With these ideas, your Galentine’s Day bash is bound to be a love-filled, laughter-packed extravaganza!

After a day of hitting the slopes (or the shops – we’re not judging!) it can be hard to find the energy to make a whole après-ski spread. Luckily many of the recipes in the Alpine tradition are easily substituted with items you probably already have at home! Here are a few of our favorite easy alternatives, s rab a blanket, gather your pals, and let the après-ski feast begin!

Instead of fondue, try baked brie…
Fondue, who? Baked brie is just as delicious with half the effort. Simply pop in the oven for melty magic, then serve with thyme and jam.

Instead of hot chocolate, try a chocolate martini…
Ditch the cocoa for a chocolate martini: vodka, chocolate liqueur, cream – shake, sip, and party! If you’re still feeling fancy, line the rim with crushed peppermint.

Instead of Swiss Rösti, try baked potato chips…
Transitional Rösti is great, but who has the time? Indulge in potatoey goodness with this throwback snack, just slice up a potato or two, season, bake, and crunch!

Instead of sausage and pretzels, try salty charcuterie…
In lieu of baked pretzels, try this for a snack attack! Assemble meats, cheeses, and pickles and serve with crunchy pretzels for some salty goodness.

Double check your calendar: while it’s not that Roaring 20’s, culture has suddenly been overtaken by a dangerous aesthetic, seemingly overnight. The “Mob Wife” look is all about opulent luxury and unapologetic glamor. Marked by iconic pieces like fur coats, leopard print, glitzy jewelry, and cherry red, this is the ultimate meeting of fashion and ferocity. Here are three easy steps to claim this femme fatale style as your own.

Channel your inner mob wife by perfecting the art of the confident strut. Glide with purpose, shoulders back, and chin up, letting every step exude the unapologetic confidence that defines the glamorous world of danger.

Timeless and showy, a fur coat is the ultimate style statement. If that’s not your thing, opt for the extravagance of leopard-print, keeping all eyes on you.

One thing about mob wives is, they’ve got plenty of time on their hands to lounge around in luxury. Invest in the finer things of life, like intricate nail art and over-the-top interior designs.

Aries: This year, you’ll return to your most basic instincts and elements, gaining a clear sense of what makes you you. Instead of focusing on your outer layer, invest in the more intimate pieces… you get what we’re saying? Good, now make it lacey 😉

Taurus: Lucky Jupiter remains in your sign until the end of May, closing things out right around your birthday. Make this year’s celebration one to remember – no “I’m not a birthday person” protests about this one! And of course, you’ll need a gown or suit to rule them all.

Gemini: Jupiter enters your sign in May, bringing many months of luck and blessings. Take full advantage of this astronomical goodwill. If you see a style or a look that feels aspirational or out of your comfort zone, that’s your sign to embrace it. In 2024, you can rock anything!

Cancer: 2024 will bring you a year of travel, which means you’ll want to pack light with the best of your essentials. While you’re still at home, focus on whittling down your wardrobe to the very best. If you can’t picture yourself wearing something on a luxury boat or highrise hotel, it’s not for you.

Leo: As a Leo, you’re probably tired of hearing about headgear. It’s true, your mane is what you are known for, but you don’t need to overly adorn your hair to shine. Invest in products, not accessories in 2024.

Virgo: Just as you like it, you’ll fly under the radar for the first portion of 2024, dear Virgo. Though you shimmer in just about every color you wear, here is your permission to go fully black-clad. Just make sure to wear luxury materials like leather and sheer silk.

Libra: You’re feeling transient and adaptable at the year’s beginning, which is most likely rooted in any Aquarius placements. Lean into your shapeshifting energy and design a few outfits based on your favorite movie and television characters. Who’s the star of 2024? It’s you!

Scorpio: The moon rules your sign at the beginning of this year, Scorpio, coming into full fruition on the 25th of the month. On this day, take note of the scents you are drawn to. Your signature perfume of 2024 will emerge from these clues.

Sagittarius: Sag? More like swag! In 2024, you will come into a style of your own. It’s been nearly a decade since you allowed yourself a personal rebrand, and Mercury decrees that now is your moment. Come summer, your wardrobe will be the envy of royalty.

Capricorn: You’ll need to watch your wallet in 2024, dear Cap. Though there are many shiny things that strike your fancy, limit yourself to just one major purchase a month. As the quality of your objects heightens, so will your life.

Aquarius: You’re full of anxious energy as Mars prepares to enter your sign in February. For now, sate yourself by shopping the winter clearance racks, then after Valentine’s day treat yourself to the shiniest object which dazzles you most.

Pisces: Dreamy, fate-casting Saturn remains in your sign through much of the year. Currently, it’s retrograde, which may muddle your ideas about when to shop and what to get. For now, moodboard out your spring and summer wardrobe. When Saturn goes direct in June, it’ll all become clear.

Everyone’s making and sharing in and out lists for the New Year, but while you’re screenshotting hot takes, don’t forget to set some legitimate goals for 2024! Those who have established and accomplished goals know that even the smallest things can help along the journey, and often, the solution is where you least expect it. With this in mind, here are a few cute and creative accessories that may help you achieve your dreams in the coming months – whatever those dreams may be!

It can be hard enough dressing for the cold, much less in a fashionable way. That’s why we’re obsessed with Cozy Girl Style, which embraces the weather challenges by incorporating soft, luxurious, and most importantly warm fabrics. Begone the January blues – with the right scarf, anything is possible!

In late December, Pantone announced its much-anticipated Color of the Year for 2024. Gentle and elegant Peach Fuzz is a warm neutral “whose all-embracing spirit enriches mind, body, and soul.” While we at Poof Apparel may have been hoping for something a little more vivid, it’s clear that Peach Fuzz is an excellent choice for a mainstay of design and fashion. Evocative of nostalgic sunsets and fresh springtime blooms, this shade is an excellent choice to buoy any modern outfit. Here are a few styling examples we’ve got on our digital moodboards:

Many dubbed 2023 the “Year of the Girl” due to the Barbie movie and Taylor Swift and Beyonce’s record-breaking concert tours. Indeed, it seemed like a celebration of all things feminine surrounded us, from Pantone’s previous color of the year to Girl Dinner and beyond. In all likelihood, this is why the bow, arguably the most iconic symbol of girlhood, has swept the internet by storm in recent weeks. It all began in earnest with the coquette aesthetic, then graduated (as it often does in Internet culture) to a meme. Even when the fervor is over, there’s no doubt bows are back in the zeitgeist. If ribbons are new to your boudoir, here are a few creative and unique ways to style them:

Aries: December beckons Aries to embrace bold elegance. Opt for luxe textures and vibrant colors to reflect your dynamic energy. Let your style make a statement, whether through a striking coat or daring accessories.

Taurus: Comfort meets chic for Taurus this December. Choose cozy yet sophisticated ensembles that seamlessly transition from festive gatherings to intimate nights by the fire. Earthy tones and soft fabrics will complement your grounded charm.

Gemini: December encourages Gemini to play with contrasts. Experiment with eclectic pairings and unexpected accessories that reflect your dual nature. From classic silhouettes to avant-garde twists, let your style be as versatile as your spirit this holiday season.

Cancer: Embrace your nurturing side, Cancer, with soft textures and muted hues in December. Opt for cozy sweaters and flowing silhouettes that provide comfort without sacrificing style. Showcasing your innate elegance will leave a lasting impression.

Leo: December calls for bold and glamorous choices, Leo. Embrace luxurious fabrics, statement accessories, and regal colors to showcase your vibrant personality. Your style is meant to command attention and leave a lasting impression this festive season.

Virgo: Virgo, find perfection in simplicity this December. Opt for clean lines, neutral tones, and tailored silhouettes that exude understated elegance. Your attention to detail will shine through, making a sophisticated statement.

Libra: Balance and beauty define your December style, Libra. Choose outfits that showcase your love for harmony, with elegant fabrics, soft colors, and statement accessories. Let your style be a reflection of your innate sense of equilibrium.

Scorpio: Embrace your mysterious allure, Scorpio. Opt for dark hues, intricate details, and statement pieces that reflect your intense and magnetic energy. December invites you to captivate with a sense of drama in your fashion choices.

Sagittarius: December urges Sagittarius to express their adventurous spirit through style. Opt for bold patterns, vibrant colors, and free-spirited accessories that reflect your outgoing nature. Your fashion choices should be as lively and optimistic as your personality.

Capricorn: Capricorn, exude timeless elegance this December. Choose classic silhouettes, neutral tones, and refined accessories that showcase your sophisticated taste. Your style should embody the grace and poise that define your sign.

Aquarius: Embrace your unique and eclectic taste, Aquarius. December invites you to experiment with unconventional styles, bold colors, and avant-garde accessories. Let your fashion choices be a reflection of your progressive and individualistic spirit.

Pisces: December calls for dreamy and ethereal styles for Pisces. Opt for flowing fabrics, pastel hues, and whimsical accessories that reflect your romantic nature. Your fashion choices should transport others to a world of fantasy and imagination.

What do the cowboy aesthetic, ‘80s fashion, food-based trends, and the gothic revival have in common? Two words: Black Cherry. This deep rusty red is a unifying force in almost every aesthetic trend we see coming in 2024. The best part is, it’s a universally flattering shade which you likely already have in your closet! To take your Black Cherry game to the next level, here are a few styled looks we absolutely adore:

‘Tis the season for festive gatherings, and what better way to kick off the merriment than with a tantalizing array of holiday appetizers? From savory bites to sweet treats, here are some hosting ideas that not only dazzle the taste buds but also add a dash of festive flair to your table. Get ready to impress your guests with these delightful holiday appetizers that are sure to spark the spirit of the season!

Charcuterie Skewers
There’s so much you can do with a toothpick and some snacks. Opt elegant and display charcuterie like darling little Christmas presents, or charm your crowd with snowman skewers – easily achieved with some tiny mozzarella balls and a well-placed carrot!

Mulled Wine Fruit Bowl
Gently poach a medley of seasonal fruits like apples, pears, and plums in a rich mulled wine reduction, where notes of cinnamon, cloves, and orange peel intertwine. As the flavors meld, a symphony of winter spices fills the air. Serve the succulent fruits in a rustic bowl, drizzling a hint of the spiced wine reduction over the top.

Spiced Pecans
Elevate your holiday snacking with spiced pecans. Toss pecan halves with a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, and a pinch of cayenne for a hint of heat. Roast in the oven until fragrant and caramelized. Serve them in small bowls for a crunchy and addictive appetizer.

Citrus Sunshine Platter
Oranges aren’t just for holiday garlands! Brighten up your table with a variety of citrus fruits, such as oranges, grapefruits, and clementines, arranging them artfully on a serving platter. The natural sweetness of the citrus provides a palate-cleansing and invigorating snack. Sprinkle with a touch of flaky sea salt for a delightful contrast.

Ethereal sheer styles have been blessing our timelines all year long, and the trend isn’t poised to stop any time soon. From delicate lace to translucent fabrics, this trend has gracefully transformed runways and wardrobes alike. For all its allure, it can be difficult to embrace this trend in the colder season. Luckily, Instagram’s finest fashionistas are here to show you how to layer up in sheer no matter the weather!

At Poof Apparel, we make it our business to know what the up-and-coming trends are. December is a natural time to reflect on what’s to come, so we surveyed the digital landscape and picked out our top 5 trends for 2024!

Even the least fashion-minded person would have noticed the Y2K influence that hit the runway and the streets this past year. The funny thing is, time always has a way of coming back around. While 2023 enjoyed ‘90s and ‘00’s influence, next year will have a distinctly 1980’s feel. Think big moto jackets, puffy sleeves, electric blue eyeliner, and big hair.

We have to agree with Pinterest on this one. Next year, #Cowboycore will have a darker edge – think boot spurs and snakeskin. The visual language will be that of typical western wear, but with a more ornamental and slightly gloomy flair.

For the cottagecore girlies out there, the farm-chic look will take on a more homemade aesthetic. We’re talking true granny vintage: quilts, bows, and doilies adding feminine touches to outfits everywhere. You’ll see this come up in lacey sweater patterns later in the year, but if you want to get ahead of the curve hit up your local craft store!

How can the act of relaxing be boiled down to a single aesthetic? By doing it as over-the-top as possible, of course! Next year people will be flaunting the high-life no matter the season, with tennis skirts, hair hibiscuses, slinky posh dresses, Après-Ski Chic, and even sunscreen-scented perfume. Vacationcore will hit full force in June, causing you to question who on your timeline is actually working and who’s truly in Antigua.

Musicians have long-since been harbingers of fashion, but in 2024 their power will reach the next level. This will follow the fanaticism of Taylor Swift and Beyonce’s record-breaking world tours. When looking for style cues, pay attention to the details on red carpets and in music videos. Metallics, bold makeup, shimmer – these stars often get tips even before the big magazines. When in doubt, grab your Beatle Boots – the classics never fail!

Aries: It’s a busy period, and you’re going to need as much focus as possible to get through the glasses. Invest in a few basic pieces that can create quick, capsule outfits. And while you’re at it, get your glasses prescription checked.

Taurus: ‘Tis the season of hibernation and you couldn’t be happier. While everyone hustles around you, you remain in tune with your deeper nature, happy to cancel plans and cozy up. Still, don’t get stuck in a rut too early. Buy a lavish going-out outfit so you have a reason to party every now and then.

Gemini: The holiday seasons bring a great influx of parties before true winter sets in, and you’re excited to accept all invites. But remember, even as you rush around the cold may get to you! Make sure you have a great collection of excellent coats on rotation.

Cancer: Lately, you’ve been feeling the music. Concerts are a great way to stay warm and active during the winter, so keep doing what you’re doing. In the meantime, perfect your outfit so that it’s easy to toggle between the frigid outdoors and hot, packed rooms.

Leo: Lioness, you’ve been feeling the love. Though you’re usually the center of the party, lately you’ve been more than happy to cozy up with your dearest one. Shy of buying a couples’ snuggie, consider getting some matching outfits. You only live once!

Virgo: Venus in your sign brings a softer, more romantic energy into your orbit. Be on the lookout for new crushes, flirtations, and letters of affection where you least expect them. Need we even say: be prepared to look gorgeous at all times!

Libra: Your girl gang has been everything this year, and with the holidays around the corner your bonds will only solidify. Though you humbly deny it, you’re the center of the group. Which means, of course, the Friendsgiving hosting is up to you! Set a darling theme that perfectly suits your wardrobe.

Scorpio: With Mercury in your sign, you can hardly keep up with all the communications and actions coming your way. It’s not something you’re used to, but you’ve been managing as best you can. Don’t worry – the planet of chat will leave you alone come November 10th, and you’ll be able to snuggle up in your favorite sweater once more.

Sagittarius: Things have been quiet lately, a little too quiet. As the sign of adventure, you’re not used to coasting like this. When Mercury enters your sign mid-November, things will speed up again. So savor this time with a little self-care!

Capricorn: Dear altruistic mind, you’ve been feeling the weight of the world lately. Remember, you don’t have to take it all on yourself. Hold close to your loved ones, and invest in a weighted piece of jewelry to serve as a reminder of groundedness and tranquility.

Aquarius: Lately, your small world isn’t cutting it. You dream of something bigger, whether that be a cross-country move of an expansion of your social circle. The impulse is correct, but the timing is not. For now, focus on visioning out what you want from 2024, with a fashion and decor moodboard.

Pisces: Winter brings us all closer to our animal instincts, and in your case, to animals in general. If you don’t already have a pet, you might consider adopting one. If you have one, maybe they need a friend? Whatever you do, this month bodes well for finding your furry familiar.

Printed pants are a fantastic way to inject personality and pizzazz into your wardrobe. Whether you’re a fan of bold florals, classic stripes, or geometric patterns, there’s a print for everyone. Here’s an overview on the art of styling fashion-forward outfits incorporating fall’s favorite trend.

Balance with Solid Colors
One of the key principles of styling print pants is balance. Since the pants are already the focal point of your outfit, pair them with solid-colored tops and accessories.

Mix and Match Prints
If you’re feeling a bit adventurous, don’t hesitate to mix and match different prints. The key to mastering this technique is to ensure that the prints have complementary colors or themes. Once you play around with a few patterns, you’ll master the #powerclashing technique.

Go Monochromatic
Monochromatic outfits are not just for solid colors. You can create a chic and stylish look by wearing print pants and a matching top in the same color family. This approach can create a visually elongating effect, making you appear taller.

Add Layers
Layering can add sophistication and texture to your outfit while complementing your print pants. A light jacket, denim or leather, can be draped over your shoulders or worn over your top to add an extra dimension to your look.

Accessorize Wisely
Accessories can elevate your print pants outfit to the next level. Opt for simple and understated accessories that complement the colors in your print. A statement necklace, a sleek belt, or a coordinating handbag can tie the entire look together without overpowering it.

Confidence Is Key
Ultimately, the most crucial element in pulling off printed pants with style is confidence. Embrace your unique fashion choices and wear your printed pants with pride. When you feel good in what you’re wearing, it shows, and that’s what truly sets your style apart!

Move over, matte. This dazzling new beauty trend has taken the makeup industry by storm, offering a new dimension of shimmer to your eye makeup game. Metallic eyeshadow gained popularity during the 1960s and 1970s, thanks to the disco era. Today, it has made a comeback and evolved with a plethora of colors and formulations to choose from. Looking to make metallic eyeshadow your own? Here are a few tips to get your shine on.

Prime Your Lids: Start with a good eyeshadow primer to create a smooth canvas for your metallic eyeshadow. This step helps the eyeshadow adhere better and prevents creasing.

Choose the Right Tools: To achieve a flawless metallic eyeshadow look, consider using your fingertip or a flat, synthetic brush. These tools allow you to pack on the pigment and create intense color payoff.

Layering is Key: For an intense metallic effect, layer the eyeshadow. Start with a light layer and build up the intensity to your desired level.

Blend with Care: While the focus is on shimmer, don’t forget to blend the edges for a seamless transition between shades. A fluffy blending brush will be your best friend in this process.

Experiment with Colors: Metallic eyeshadows come in a wide range of colors, from gold and silver to bold jewel tones. Don’t be afraid to experiment and combine shades to create unique looks.
