Come March, if you’re north of the equator, spring is springing. The sun less shy, the trees less naked, days longer, lighter, leafier – you get the gist. And not unlike Mother Nature herself, designers this season have opted for a palette of mossy greens, pale blues, and warmer, earthy shades of beige, brown and gray.

Think bright, crisp pastels of hazy skies, zesty muds, pasty clays, the grainy sands of the year's first (bearable) beach walk, the shiny pines of a weekend picnic at forrest’s edge. Out with the artifice, in with all that grows outdoors – according to Mr. Porter, at least.

Culturally, one might consider this an extension of a bigger, more gradual movement, aesthetically and psychologically: an echo of eco-symbolism and the urban escape, representative of consumers’ aspirations for more conscious spending, as well as for less conspicuous declarations of material decadence.

As such, all this is in similar vein to months gone by, with fashion still taking cues from Quiet Luxury, and its more muted, simplistic code of dress; one that favors subtle details and a higher appreciation for textiles and textures over explosive emblems of wealth. 

Whether you, like some, are annoyed by it being treated as some novel, revolutionary virtue of personal style, its sentiment’s grand sweeping of mainstream high end shoppers slash spectators slash emulators is undeniable, and traces of it continue to linger nearly a year since one of its main initiators – HBO’s billionaire soap opera, Succession – concluded; an impressive feat when measured against the backdrop of today's TikTok-ian trend calendar.

All that said take the hint, touch some grass, and pluck from our picks of Mr. Porter's natural, neutral go-to items for SS24.
