All the things to Know About Winter’s Calf-Hair Trend Development


Instantly following New York Trend Week again in February, I made a fall/winter 2024 want checklist stuffed with items I’d simply noticed on the runway. On it had been textured midi skirts, funnel-neck outerwear, almond-toe flats, and extra. Although I wished each piece on the time (and have both checked most of them off or purchased one thing related albeit budget-friendlier), one specific pattern was and nonetheless is my favourite by a mile. Noticed at each Michael Kors Assortment and Tory Burch, pony- or calf-hair items gave off an air of class and luxurious that nothing else from the runways might compete with.

At Michael Kors, legendary supermodel Amber Valletta modeled a leopard-print calf-hair midi coat styled with easy black pumps and a timeless clasp-closure girl bag. Her signature blonde hair was pulled again in a decent chignon; the one make-up she appeared to have on was shiny pink lipstick. I, like many others who I spoke with afterward, was enamored. That very same week, Tory Burch despatched two appears down the runway that featured the modern, textured materials. One featured a calf-hair blazer and matching pencil skirt and the opposite showcased a cropped, moto-style jacket fabricated from the material styled with khaki trousers. Once more, I used to be sick with need.
