Despite the seemingly constant rain, spring is, in fact, here. As we wait for the weather to catch up, Vogue spotlights the trends our counterparts across the pond are investing in for spring 2024. From low-rise jeans to polka-dot prints, these are the six trends you can expect to see French women wearing in the months to come.
Bermuda shorts
Good news if the pantless trend strikes fear into your heart: Bermuda shorts will be big this spring. The masculine effect of knee-length shorts is chic and ever so slightly unconventional. Take your pick from tailored, denim, cotton or leather versions.

Polka dots
Time for leopard to slink back off into the jungle: the 1950s-inspired polka-dot print is about to make its presence felt in a big way. Polka dots were all over the spring 2024 runways, adorning everything from minidresses to shoes to tights.

Low-rise jeans
Making a comeback as part of the Y2K revival, and spied on the runway at Miu Miu and Schiaparelli for spring 2024, low-rise jeans are trending again. Just ask Bella Hadid.

Rugby shirts
