Fashion trends have always played a significant role in shaping our style choices and defining our personal expression. Emerging from various sources such as runway shows, designer collections, celebrity influences, and cultural shifts, they act as a reflection of societal changes and serve as an indicator of what is currently considered stylish. However the idea of trends can lead to mixed reviews, with some finding them restrictive or unappealing, while others embrace them wholeheartedly. I personally believe that tends can provide inspiration and spark creativity in our wardrobe choices, ultimately encouraging us to step outside of our comfort zones and try new styles we may not have considered before.
Now, imagine tapping into the magical energy within each trend – whether it’s bold patterns, unique color combinations, fabric types, or unconventional silhouettes – allowing them to enhance your confidence and transform your aura. With each outfit choice becoming more than just fabric on your body; it becomes an enchantment that reflects your essence.
In my books Glamcraft and Glamstrology (releasing October 2024), I discuss at length how glamour magic provides an opportunity for self-discovery through fashion experimentation while giving you the freedom to shed old perceptions and embrace newfound confidence. By embracing 2024 fashion trends through the lens of glamour magic, you can unlock endless possibilities for personal expression and create a truly captivating persona all the while becoming a magnet of attraction for your desires.
From innovative designs to sustainable materials, fashion in 2024 is all about pushing boundaries and making a statement. Here are some of the top trends you can expect to see and how to use them to your advantage magically:
Bold Colors
In 2024, bright bold colors continue to take center stage alongside geometric prints and abstract designs that demand attention. Bold colors unleash a witch’s power to make a statement with their appearance. Vibrant hues intertwined with bewitching patterns amplify their magical aura while capturing attention in ethereal ways. Drawing upon symbolic meanings associated with certain colors or patterns can enhance spellcasting rituals even further. By aligning yourself with a bright bold color on a deeper energetic level, you can utilize their transformative properties to amplify intentions and enhance glamour magic.
Additionally, prints are expected to take center stage as well. Patterns inspired by nature’s flora and fauna display an intricate tapestry that mirrors elements found within spells and enchantments. Use these prints as talismans to invoke a harmonious connection for enhancing magical pursuits.
Glam Witch Tip: Wear red for power, pink for love, orange for confidence, yellow for happiness, green for abundance, blue for serenity, purple for wisdom, brown for grounding, black for protection, and white for purity.

Exaggerated Base
One trend that has captured the mystical imagination is the exaggerated base. Embraces dramatic proportions this trend creates the look of elongated legs through a high waist crop. By donning these garments, witches can create an allusion of a longer and taller profile, adding an air of mystique to their presence. The high waist not only accentuates the natural curves of one’s body but also creates an illusion of elongated legs and a slimmer waistline — a perfect canvas for casting spells of confidence and allure. This elongated silhouette not only enhances a witch’s physical allure but also serves as a metaphor for elevating intentions and ambitions, symbolizes reaching higher levels of spiritual growth and personal empowerment. Additionally, elongation in fashion represents an extension of goals, aspirations, and self-expression. For witches seeking to align their magical craft with the heightening energy of elongation in fashion, incorporating exaggerated high waist garments can be profoundly impactful.

Gender-Fluid Fashion
Gender norms are continuing to be challenged, and fashion is following suit. In 2024, expect to see a continued blurring of traditionally gendered clothing categories as more designers embrace inclusivity and create clothing that can be worn by anyone regardless of gender identity.
Gender fluid fashion allows witches to embrace the freedom of self-expression without boundaries. Incorporating elements such as flowing robes or mixing traditionally masculine and feminine clothing pieces can enhance a witch’s connection to their power and intentions. By utilizing clothing items or accessories that blur traditional gender norms, witches can cast spells that challenge societal expectations and promote acceptance and inclusivity in magical circles.
Glam Witch Tip: Rebel against gender norms and free yourself from limitation. Allow your inner divinity to shine outside of the binary.

Metallics, Sequins, and Fringe (Oh My!)
Another mesmerizing trend is metallics and sequins. In the realm of fashion, these radiant fabrics bring a sense of opulence, flamboyance, and splendor to any wardrobe adding an otherworldly shine to any outfit. Wearing these types of fabrics effortlessly create an air of sparkling magic in your ensembles. However, beyond their aesthetic appeal lies an intriguing correlation with attraction and deflection – two key principles often associated with witchcraft.
When it comes to attraction, metallics have a mesmerizing effect on viewers. Their reflective surfaces effortlessly draw attention and command presence. It is akin to casting a glimmering spell on those around you. Imagine slipping into a stunning silver gown or an eye-catching gold suit, instantly captivating others with your radiant aura.
On the other hand, sequins can act as powerful tools for deflection within the realm of witchcraft-inspired fashion. By adorning yourself in garments bedecked with twinkling sequins or intricate beadwork, you can ward off negative energies while simultaneously embracing positive vibrations. The interplay of light on these embellishments acts as a shield against unwanted influences—keeping your personal energy protected as you shine brightly.
Fringe offers the ability to use cord magic—the practice of utilizing knots and cords for manifestation and intention-setting. Select clothing items that feature frayed edges or tassels and tie specific knots with intentions to direct energy and create spells with your fashion.
Glam Witch Tip: Wear these fabrics as often as possible for optimal glamour!

Minimalist Magic
Simplicity will always have their place in fashion but expect minimalism with unexpected details in 2024. The minimalist aesthetic resonates with individuals seeking a break from the chaos and distractions of modern life. In a world filled with constant stimulation, the allure of less is undeniably seductive. Minimalist fashions offer a sense of calmness and clarity by stripping away excess details, leaving only what is essential.
By embracing minimalist clothing, witches and magic makers can harness its inherent qualities for their craft. Less distracting attire allows witches to focus their energy on their intentions without unnecessary interruptions or external influences. The concept of invisibility also plays a role – through dressing minimally, one can attract less attention, allowing them to move through spaces with grace and subtlety.
An added component to minimalist fashion is dressing in predominantly white clothes—al la Geri Horner (formerly Ginger Spice). The color white holds particular significance in both minimalism and magic. In fashion, it represents purity, neutrality, and timeless elegance. Symbolically speaking, white is associated with white magic – benevolent practices that promote healing, protection, and spiritual growth.
Glam Witch Tip: Adopt minimalism when you wish to fly under the radar and blend into the crowd.

Retro Revival
Nostalgia plays a powerful role in shaping trends -evoking emotions and transports us back to cherished memories. In an ever-evolving world, there is comfort in embracing familiar styles that remind us of simpler times. For 2024, throwback looks inspired by the ’70s disco era or ’90s grunge scene (think flared pants, tie-dye patterns, oversized blazers, and chunky platform shoes) are forecasted to be on the rise. Retro and vintage styles possess an enchanting charm that resonates deeply with witches who thrive on nostalgia. Reviving timeless fashion from bygone eras not only brings forth an exquisite sense of style but also connects them to ancient traditions and energies. Through time-honored enchantments woven into these classic looks, witches tap into mystical forces imbued within each stitch.
Glam Witch Tip: Use the smoke of rose incense or spritz rosewater spray to cleanse vintage clothes of energetic vibrations from previous owners.

Sheer Sensibility
One trend that is set to enchant the fashion scene in 2024 is sheer clothing. Delicate and ethereal, sheer fabrics are making a bold statement on runways and in wardrobes worldwide. But did you know that these translucent textiles also hold a mystical connection to witchcraft?
Sheer clothing has long been associated with enchantment and allure. Its ability to reveal while still leaving something to the imagination perfectly aligns with the essence of magic. Just as witches use their spells and rituals to cast an air of mystery, sheer fabrics have the power to create an alluring illusion, allowing glimpses of skin or striking underlayers to capture attention.
Incorporating sheer elements into your wardrobe can be a truly magical experience. Sheer clothing allows for easy airflow around the body, creating an unobstructed flow of energy during spellwork. This free movement helps in channeling intentions effectively while maintaining physical comfort throughout rituals.
Glam Witch Tip: Wear sheer garments on the night of a full moon to call in and channel lunar energy.

Statement Accessories
Statement accessories hold transformative powers in the hands of any witch. By adorning themselves with symbolic pieces, such as amulets, pendants, or talismans charged with specific energies, witches amplify their magical intentions and lend visual emphasis to their spells. These uniquely crafted accessories serve as both fashion statements and powerful tools of enchantment.
Glam Witch Tip: Accessorize with anything that challenges the patriarchy.

Sustainability
Sustainability has become more than just a trend; it’s a crucial philosophy that aligns with a witch’s respect for nature. As more and more consumers become conscious of their environmental impact, sustainable fashion will continue to gain traction. In 2024, expect to see a rise in eco-friendly materials like organic cotton, recycled fabrics, and innovative alternatives such as mushroom leather or pineapple fiber.
By incorporating eco-friendly materials, using upcycled garments or creating their own sustainable fashion pieces through spellwork, witches can showcase their commitment to both style and environmental harmony.
Glam Witch Tip: Forget fast fashion trends and focus your attention on handmade and ethically sourced goods.

Voluminous Shape
As style forecasters have predicted, oversized garments are set to take center stage in the coming years, captivating fashion lovers with their unique and mesmerizing aesthetic. Voluminous clothing has its ability to redefine traditional beauty standards and embrace body positivity. These larger drapey designs allow individuals of all shapes and sizes to express themselves boldly, breaking free from societal norms that promote restrictive sizing.
Oversized fashions also make an unexpected connection with the whimsical world of witchcraft. By embracing these flowing and billowy silhouettes, individuals can tap into a sense of empowerment and mystique, channeling their inner enchantress.
When draped in voluminous clothing, one can’t help but evoke images of powerful sorceresses roaming through ancient forests or witches conjuring up spells in hidden realms. The loose-fitting fabrics swirl around like ethereal spirits, enhancing a sense of mystical energy that lends a touch of otherworldly charm to any outfit.
Glam Witch Tip: Celebrate your witchiness by draping yourself in a voluminous garment and hitting the town for a night of bewitching enchantment!
