The Best of 2024: A Year in Style

As the year winds down, we’re looking back on 2024 with full hearts and overflowing gratitude. It was a year of bold colors, thoughtful designs, and meaningful collaborations—thanks to you, our XCVI community, who brought our collections to life in ways we could only dream of.

From reinventing classics to launching new initiatives, 2024 was a celebration of comfort, creativity, and confidence. Here’s a roundup of our favorite moments, your most-loved pieces, and everything that made this year unforgettable.

Your Most-Loved Colors

This year, we introduced hues that balanced boldness and wearability, and you embraced them wholeheartedly:
● Charanga Red: A vibrant coral-meets-red that made every piece feel like a statement. Whether it was a ruched mini dress, a maxi Gored Peasant Skirt, or a sleek button-up, this color proved that daring can still feel approachable.
● Vining Ivy: A rich, deep green that became a standout neutral. Whether paired with soft beige tones or worn head-to-toe in our jacket-dress, it was the perfect mix of earthy and elegant.
● Macaw: This lively yellow-green hue brightened up transitional seasons and brought a joyful punch of color to tops, dresses, and layering pieces.
● Roebuck: The perfect neutral tan that effortlessly grounded every outfit, proving that quiet, understated colors can make a loud impact.

The Year of Matching Sets

2024 proved that matching sets are the ultimate wardrobe heroes, offering effortless polish without sacrificing comfort. These were your favorites:

● The Cobalt Bomber and Skort Set: Made with our lightweight Whisper 4-Way Stretch fabric, this duo balanced athletic function with street-style flair.
● The Twill Knit Co-ord Casual Suit in Mariner and Spry Blue: Semi-cropped blazers and flared pants brought a fresh perspective to tailored looks, combining structure and stretch for all-day ease.
● The Quan Tank and Pheodora Pant in soft twill burnt orange “Sierra” made a splash with novelty embroidery and exquisite detail all in one comfortable, subtly tailored package.

Your Go-To Staples

Every wardrobe needs pieces you can count on, and these designs were XCVI customer favorites this year:

• The Liquid Denim Hinto Pant: With its ultra-soft stretch and flattering silhouette, it was a go-to for dressing up or down. 
• The Gibbon Tank Dress: With a unique balloon hem at a midi length, the Gibbon Tank Dress can swing formal or casual, depending on styling. Bra-friendly straps and princess-lined jersey panels take her all the way and ensure flattering, movement-friendly style.
• The Gored Peasant Skirt: This timeless piece turned heads in Charanga red, proving that bold color and laid-back ease make the ultimate power couple.

A Year of Bold Collaborations

One of the most meaningful moments of 2024 was our collaboration with Nadia Sofia, a talented artist who worked alongside her mother, our senior designer, to create embroidered designs for our resort collection. Inspired by Japanese dragons and classic 90s tattoo art, this mother-daughter duo brought an edgy, artistic energy to pieces that truly felt one of a kind. Their story of creativity and connection resonated deeply with our team—and with you, too.

Athleisure with a Twist

This year, we also embraced movement with bold athleticwear that kept you comfortable and stylish.

• Rufino Jacket Dress took the signature XCVI jacket-dress in a sporty direction with Whisper 4-Way Stretch. Convenient pockets, a cute hood, adjustable drawstrings on either side, and a two-way zipper made added in our classic functional details for a mini dress that's as versatile and easy to move in as it is adorable!
• The Cobalt Bomber Set showed how high-performance fabrics can have high-fashion appeal.

Our Commitment to Circularity

In 2024, we deepened our commitment to intentional clothing with the launch of our partnership with ThredUp. Through the XCVI Clean-Out Kit project, we encouraged you to give your preloved clothes a second life and keep wearable garments out of landfills. As lifelong thrifters, we loved seeing you embrace this initiative and create a more circular fashion future with us.

Looking Ahead

As we turn the page to 2025, we can’t wait to bring you more of what you love—timeless silhouettes, bold colors, versatile designs, and new ways to express your unique style. Keep an eye out for even more innovative fabrics, expanded collections, and collaborations that will surprise and delight you.

From all of us at XCVI, thank you for being part of this journey. You’re the reason we pour our hearts into every stitch, seam, and design. Here’s to another year of comfort, confidence, and creativity—together.

With love,
Eden & the XCVI Team
