From patchwork looks to hardware detailing and all the capris of your dreams, here are 5 trends from the runways and how to get the look.
Capris, please!
If you’re still dreaming about Tommy Hilfiger’s preppy capris or Collina Strada’s earth-toned funky print take, here are some easy pieces to add to your wardrobe.

Sports have gone aquatic
Tennis skirts may have surged in popularity after Challengers, but if NYFW SS25 is any indication, the new preppy athletic-inspired trends pull from their water-based sport counterparts. See Tory Burch’s swimming pool presentation (above), Tommy Hilfiger’s sailor stripes, Taottao’s office-meets-beach collection (above), Sperry’s boat shoe appearances on the runways of Collina Strada and Monse (also above), and all the nautical colour combinations throughout the week. To shop, try these.

Socks are officially on my Christmas list
Thigh highs at Nanushka, socks that perfectly match shoes at COS… whoever said socks were a boring present didn’t know where to shop. Left to Right: Weekday – Rib Knit Leg Warmers; Burberry – Checked Wool-blend Socks – Brown; Gucci – GG Pattern Cotton Blend Socks; Whistles Women’s Rains Knee High Logo Socks
No glove, no love
Opera gloves are here to stay and we’re happy to hear it. In addition to forcing their wearer to take a screen break (no matter how “text friendly” the material is, let’s face it, nobody has quite cracked the code there), these styles provide a perfect and easy elevation to any look. Go for a classic white like Luar, let them be a pop of colour like Wiederhoeft, or go full leather like Who Decides War. From left to right: TOTEME – Leather Gloves – Black; ; Clio Peppiatt – Chantilly Embellished Ruched Tulle Gloves – Ivory
Hardware works too hard
Let’s give hardware a break from its usual purpose-led duties and let it shine as decorative embellishments instead. See AREA’s striking inclusion of metal details and Ronald van der Kemp’s playful over-the-top look. This one is a bit more about the styling than the shopping, but these are a few pieces we’d recommend to get the look. From left to right: KHAITE – Elena Small Studded Textured-leather Shoulder Bag – Black; Balmain – Button-embellished Ribbed-knit Tank – White; Balmain – Embellished Crepe Mini Dress – Black; Rabanne – Nano 1969 Paillette-embellished Chainmail Shoulder Bag – Silver
