Over the past few years, the once-controversial trouser has quietly become a staple among fashion’s most influential dressers. From off-duty model moments to polished city looks, capris have been embraced by a new generation of style leaders including Bella Hadid, Kendall Jenner, Emily Ratajkowski and Hailey Bieber. Their effortless styling has helped transform the silhouette from early-2000s nostalgia into a modern fashion essential.

What makes capri pants work right now is their versatility. Designers and fashion insiders alike are embracing sleeker, more tailored versions that sit just below the knee or mid-calf, often styled with sharp blazers, oversized shirts, or minimal knitwear. The result feels polished yet relaxed — exactly the balance that defines contemporary spring dressing.

Street style has also played a major role in the trend’s longevity. Fashion girls across New York, Paris and Copenhagen have been pairing capris with ballet flats, kitten heels, and slim sneakers, creating silhouettes that feel both nostalgic and refreshingly modern.

For Spring 2026, the look continues to evolve. Black stretch capris remain the most popular choice, but we’re also seeing tailored versions in suiting fabrics, soft neutrals, and even denim entering the conversation. Styled with structured jackets or simple tanks, the piece easily transitions from day to evening.

In a season where practicality and polish go hand in hand, capri pants offer a perfect middle ground between tailoring and casualwear. And if the fashion crowd — and its favourite It-girls — have anything to say about it, this once-debated silhouette is officially here to stay.

The post The Capri Pants Trend Continues: Why They’re Still a Spring 2026 Favourite appeared first on Voir Fashion.

After ten years building VOIR and working as a stylist, one thing has become clear:
not every trend deserves space in your wardrobe. Every season brings noise — our job is to bring clarity.

At VOIR, we approach trends like data and treat style as the edit.
Fashion should adapt to you — your ambition, your identity, your mood — not the other way around.

I’m a maximalist at heart; I flirt with quiet luxury when softness calls.
Some days I want shoulder pads and jewellery that announces the room before I do.
Some days I want silk, trench coats, and silence.
Style should allow that range.

A decade in fashion taught me this:
Trends are just data. Style is the edit.

If you’re a woman building something — a career, a business, a reputation, a life — and you want a wardrobe that moves with you, not against you, you’re in the right place.

This season has a main character, and she’s not shy about it.
The ’80s are back — reimagined with 2026 confidence.
SAINT LAURENT SS26 lives rent free in our minds. That woman — sharp tailoring, padded shoulders, jewellery that doesn’t whisper — she’s the energy we’re channelling all spring. Not copying. Translating.

So here it is.
The Spring 2026 VOIR Edit.
The only trends worth knowing — and how to make them yours.

THE TRENDS

1. The ’80s Power Comeback

The pendulum is swinging back to decadence.
Power shoulders. Oversized suiting. High collars. Clothes that feel like armour.

Wear it:

Oversized blazer + silk camisole

Sharp trousers + statement earrings

Gold cuffs stacked like punctuation

Not 1985 nostalgia. 2026 with authority.

2. Cerulean / Capri Blue

If you learn one colour this season, let it be Cerulean — that oceanic, Amalfi-tile, Capri-travel blue that cuts through neutrals like a sentence.

Wear it with:

Navy

Stone

Buttercream

Crisp white

The easiest way to update your wardrobe in one move.

3. Texture Takes Over

Fringe, feathers, tassels — but edited.
Not boho. Not festival. Architectural.

Wear it:

Fringe on tailoring

Feathers at the hem, not the sleeve

One texture at a time

Drama, with discipline.

5. Look-at-Me Jewellery

Minimal jewellery is on sabbatical.
Statement earrings, sculptural metal, cuffs that speak before you do.

Wear it:

Slick hair + oversized earrings

Tailoring + jewellery as the outfit

Let accessories lead, not follow

Confidence isn’t a tone of voice — it’s a material.

6. Knitwear, Reimagined

Knitwear is no longer something you wear — it’s something you style.

Wear it:

Knotted around the waist

Draped over the shoulder

Looping through tailoring

Comfort with an agenda.

7. The Preppy V-Neck Comeback

V-neck sweaters layered over crisp shirts.
Cher Horowitz energy — but she’s grown, travelling, and has meetings with investors.

Wear it:

Slim V-neck + oversized shirt

Loafers or heels

Pearls or metal to contrast

Preppy, but paid.

8. Silk Scarves Under Blazers

Not on bags. Not in hair.
Under tailoring. Tucked into trench collars. Styled like structure.

Wear it:

Vintage silk + black blazer

Satin under trench neckline

Monochrome for quiet impact

The trend that says: I know exactly what I’m doing.

9. Funnel Necks, Forward

Yes, they’re still here.
The 2025 breakout silhouette is evolving into light spring fabrics: leather, suede, bonded jersey, crisp cotton.

Wear it:

Funnel-neck leather jacket + wide jeans

High-neck knit + trench collar

Funnel-neck tops with minis

Face-framing. Outfit-sharpening.
Effortless impact.

10. Mocha Shades

Black’s softer replacement.
Mocha, caramel, chocolate — the new neutral that behaves like a luxury code.

Wear it with:

Cerulean blue

Butter yellow

Powder pink

Espresso head-to-toe

Mocha isn’t a trend.
It’s a decision.

The post Trust Me — These Are the Only Spring 2026 Trends That Matter appeared first on Voir Fashion.

Woven Ballerina Flats

Gabriela Hearst SS25

Ballet flats and Mary Janes took over in 2024, and for 2025 they’re back with a Greek twist. The breathable design is perfect for a warm summer’s day and double up as a great beach shoe on holiday. From rounded to pointed designs there’s so many styles to choose from.

Retro Trainers

Miu Miu SS25

The vintage look is back once again and the more worn in the better. Runways were filled with nostalgic, sporty designs from Miu Miu to Gucci they really channelled the beloved 80s and 90s aesthetic. The comfortable design is done best with a prominent brand logo, abundance of contrasted colours, and don’t forget to style them with a colourful sock and jean short.

Heeled Flip Flops

Ferragamo SS25

The heeled flip flop is about to become a spring/summer staple in 2025 as seen heavily featured on the runways and we are so here for it. Its versatility is endless – able to be styled from a casual day look to an evening gown, if you only have room in your wardrobe for one shoe, it must be this one!

Minimalistic Sandal

Tod’s SS25

Minimalistic sandals are so in according to Max Mara’s runway for spring/summer, focusing on practicality they’re designed with a simple, clean, and functional approach while maintaining a sophisticated aesthetic. Featuring few straps and subtle lines, they result in a very streamlined look.

Boho Platforms

Hermés SS25

Chloé dazzled us last year with its ultra-high boho wedge, and for 2025 they are back off the shelf and straight into our everyday wardrobes. With bohemian being a big hit for 2025, level up your shoe game in the same style with an elevated leather sandal. Easy to style due to their simplicity, their outfit versatility becomes endless.

Slingback Kitten Heels

Jimmy Choo

Slingback kitten heels have slowly been climbing up the trending shoe list over the past year and are here to stay for spring and summer in 2025. Their elegant design gives you a clean and sophisticated aesthetic, whilst still maintaining comfort with a smaller heel. Best paired with jeans for a casual look or a maxi dress for an evening get together.

Miu Miu

Loafers have become a go to in spring and summer, and in 2025 have a new trending shape – a rounded square front. Giving you that old money aesthetic, they look stylish and polished with any outfit, but are best paired with light coloured linen fabrics to really bring the focus to the crafted leather of the shoe.

The post Step Into Style: The Must-Have Shoe Trends For Spring & Summer 2025 appeared first on Voir Fashion.

One of the best things about the spring and summer seasons is that accessories make an appearance at full force. They dress up your favourite staple pieces and add that personality and flair to your outfits after your winter jackets have been retired. Whether it’s statement sunglasses for those sunny days, playful details, or jewelled to the max, we’ve compiled a guide for you of the hottest accessories for spring and summer 2025.

Statement Sunglasses

Alexander McQueen SS25

Sunglasses have become a lot more than a functional accessory – they’re a bold statement of individuality and personal style. For SS25 they were a go to for designers and were seen with vibrant colours, oversized frames, and eye-catching flair. We can’t wait to see them all over our Instagram feeds once the sun comes out.

Stacked Belts

Miu Miu SS25

Stacked belts not only were a heavy feature on the runways but also seen on a lot of attendees during the spring and summer showcases. This trend embraces the elegance of layering, combining different textures, and finishes to create a multi-dimensional look. Far beyond utility, stacked belts will serve as an elevated accessory this summer.

Bag Charms

https://uk.pinterest.com/pin/633387443296044/

The bag charm trend has exploded over the past year, and last autumn made its way to the Parisian street style during fashion week for Spring/Summer. This cute trinket is a fabulous way to level up your bag game even more, or why not clip it onto your belt loop, as we are sure it’s going to be an even bigger trend this spring and through summer with practically everyone owning one or ten.

Coastal Jewellery

Chloé SS25

Did someone say beach day? We at Voir for sure can’t wait for holiday season and what better way to get in the spirit than by wearing a coastal accessory. Try the Chloé seashell earrings, or an oversized necklace adorned with sea treasures, or if you prefer something simpler try mini coastal charm hair clips.

Ties the knot

Saint Laurent SS25

Spring and summer 2025 are all about powerful sophistication and what better way to create a sharp and polished look than by adding a tie to your outfit. Bold patterns and colours can elevate an already sleek ensemble, or oversized statement ties create a dramatic street style look.

Undercover

https://www.instagram.com/p/CxtYnXWhC1C/

After the lights dimmed at Undercover, we assumed the finale had just occurred, but as gasps and exclamations echoed from the beginning of the runway, we knew we were about to witness fashion history. Three models were languishing down the runway wearing glow-in-the-dark birdcage dresses with live gardens and butterflies inside. The glasshouse 3D pieces are one of the most talked about moments of the season, so it’s to one’s surprise that the designer responsible is the ever-inventive Jun Takahashi. Even the harsh, fan-favorite critic @hautelemaude was impressed. Unlike the one-and-done marketing gimmicks we’re used to seeing from brands, the dresses seamlessly blended with the rest of the collection and its theme: the surreal contrast between dark and light. Backstage Takahashi shared that “He feels like he’s stuck in the world, but he wants to release himself.”

https://www.instagram.com/undercover_lab/tagged/?img_index=4

This sense of existing in limbo was in the see-through veils and loose, feminine silhouettes that billowed like fading memories. The opening sheer tailored suits showed razors, playing cards, and flowers trapped in between the front and back layers. Georgette black suits, bedazzled spider embellishments, and faded t-shirts made the collection look like workwear rinsed in a cauldron. A somber color palette gave way to polka dots and bright yellow, followed by graphic co-ord sets of Neo Rauch’s paintings that perfectly conveyed that surrealist feeling. Tulle was everywhere; overlaying hoodies, as shoulder pads, and even crunched up as portraits from his first oil painting exhibition shown earlier this month, “They See More Than You Can See”.

https://www.instagram.com/undercover_lab/?img_index=1

The ambiance further enriched the theme, with broken and lit chandeliers on the cement floor, low-pitched cellos obfuscating the background, and gifted scarves with folklore illustrations upon our seats. With ‘Deep Mist’, Jun Takahashi devised an ingenious moment amongst an already innovative collection. Flooding our feeds on day two of fashion week, this show will go down in the books.

Alexander McQueen

https://www.instagram.com/p/Cx45Ig1LKXi/

A bittersweet moment for fashion, this season Sarah Burton presented her last collection for Alexander McQueen. After three weeks of back-to-back shows, it’s hard to draw an emotional reaction from saturated guests; and yet. Kaia Gerber and Naomi Campbell’s appearances already sparked cheers, but it was nothing compared to the hollers and applauds that drowned the room when Burton herself (for the first time in what seemed like forever) did a full circuit of the runway. In a plain shirt and jeans that gave no indication of the magnificent collection that had just preceded her, the designer blew kisses and hugged longtime industry friends like journalist Sarah Mower, making for a deeply emotional grand finale. In her 26-year tenure with the brand (half working closely with McQueen and half as creative director), she has been persistent in honoring McQueen’s designs while reimagining womanhood from her perspective.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Cx5bfAEtPEI/

With ‘Anatomy II’, she delivered both a culmination and a retrospective of her work. On every seat, a departing note read “This collection is inspired by female anatomy, Queen Elizabeth I, the blood red rose and Magdalena Abakanowicz, a transgressive and powerfully creative artist who refused ever to compromise her vision. The show is dedicated to the memory of Lee Alexander McQueen, whose wish was always to empower women, and to the passion, talent and loyalty of my team.”

Kaia’s opening look set the tone, a corseted dress slashed with the first of many surgical cuts inspired by the ‘Hunger’ 1996 collection. Gold and silver embroidery substituted the violence and horror from the original pieces, instead celebrating the female body. Blood red, bone-white and black made up a very anatomical palette, all while referencing Britain and empowering women. Everything was a triple entendre; poppy flowers alluded to Tudor times, were printed in aquarelle graphics that degraded to blood stains, and became 3D dresses that petalled like vaginal folds. They were in shiny bustiers, sharply tailored mini dresses, and frilly embroideries on suits. The embrace of women’s bodies was also in the textiles printed with creations of Polish feminist artist Abakanowicz. Skeletons were reimagined in soft knitwear, where yarn bundled up as intestines and stitches and loops formed a feminine silhouette. Bones jutted out in the shape of sharp cutouts, tailoring flayed open with aggressive slashes as if it was skin or a reference to McQueen’s famed destruction of Saville Row tailoring.

https://www.instagram.com/kaiagerber/?img_index=3

The show was filled with symbolism in a way we’re accustomed to seeing from Burton, an exquisite end to a respected and historical chapter in the legacy label–and fashion. The show was a melancholic and beautiful moment in itself, making us grateful to have experienced her touch at McQueen in real-time.

Mugler

https://www.instagram.com/p/CyAywXht4ji/

From the very beginning, Casey Cadwallader’s arrival at the Maison has stirred up a lot of drama: Thierry Mugler superfans desperate for a comeback of his Vegas-style spectacles, high-brow editors frowning upon the brand going commercial, and an unexpected fervor from the gen populous (his H&M collaboration sold out in 8 minutes). It makes sense then that with this collection he’s leaning into the newly-found mass media appeal and away from haughty fashion critics. “We’re kind of an emerging brand in a funny way”, he chuckled at the show’s preview.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Cx8sEaZtbEc/

The show still clung to the theatrics Mugler was famed for (maybe because of this), but he gave it a showbusiness spin. Cadwallader even included the one-hour delay and throngs outside that are surmised before a spectacle. His fear of being too ‘costumey’ now assuaged, the designs were inspired by his love of octopuses and jellyfish. Large fans and bright lights turned the stage into a very dramatic wind tunnel. And the cast? He gave it the star power usually reserved for a Broadway production. Celebrities and supermodels alike walked the show, earning whoops and delighted gasps as they walked. Paris Hilton, Angela Basset, Helena Christensen, and Aber Valletta walked alongside Irina Shayk, Kai Isaiah-Jamal, Paloma Elsesser, Adut Akech, and Alex Consani. Phones and smiles were just as high when jersey garments billowed as if underwater and body-con dresses had seven-meter-long chiffon trains rippling like tentacles. Signature spiral-cut jeans and corset jackets were patterned with polka-dots and ombré sprays inspired by sea slugs, while sequined sheer bodysuits glistened like fish scales. Those weren’t the only classic and archive pieces given the aquatic treatment: elegant coats inspired by the SS97 collection had fringes inspired by jellyfish, resin body plates became exoskeletons, and tulle sleeves and trousers gave the illusion of SS99’s ‘floating’ tailoring. The show delivered one of the biggest spectacles of the season and served as an identity reset, proving that the new, more commercial Mugler is successful– and not going anywhere.

Y PROJECT

https://www.instagram.com/yproject_official/?img_index=2

After hosting a 6,000-person rave in Milan for the Diesel show, pressure and anticipation were high for Glenn Martens’ Y Project show. The standing-only room front row was crowded with the same young stylish people gathered outside the venue, making the inside look like superfans had sneaked past security and PR instead of invite-only. And with Martens’ reputation as fashion’s newest wunderkind, they might as well be crazed fanatics.

https://www.instagram.com/yproject_official/?img_index=2

The collection was based on the fabric manipulation of denim, a material at this point synonymous with the Belgian designer. It was twisted, frayed, and saturated in fierce shades of lavender, yellow and red. They made up scrunched dresses, crumpled boots, and even hooded shawls. Denim became transformable and appropriate for every occasion, a concept some might remember him pushing since his earlier years. Although it began as a way to send the same look down the runway twice, this revolutionary concept is taking a firm hold on fashion now. From stacked trousers and scrunched-up bags to jackets zipped up to make a Y-shape, we won’t be surprised to see his innovative draping at Zara or Shein in a few months (unfortunately maybe days for the latter). This particular collection was inspired by the Gothic architecture of his hometown, Bruges. With it, he finally gave us an insight as to why he chooses denim: “In Bruges we have the tallest Medieval tower that’s made of bricks. It’s nice that the material they were using is basic bricks, unlike in England or France who were using ornate stone. The material that we use is very basic and archetypal, cotton and denim, but from them we create these constructive twists.” Even if the triad of models wearing fake serpent necklaces around their necks were the most talked about looks, it’s the cementing of the denim-is-fit-for-all revolution that made the show so significant.

The post The Catch-Up: The PFW Shows Making The Most Waves appeared first on Voir Fashion.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CxvmvllSaHg/

The LINO womenswear show started off in classic Owens’ doom: a demonic melody played as obsidian ensembles opened the show, the Palais de Tokyo setting shrouded in artificial fog. But as soon as colorful petals began falling from the sky, we knew something was different. Sure, they were in reference to when Roman Emperor Heliogabalus notoriously suffocated his guests with rose petals (‘I didn’t have enough of them to kill everybody’ said Owens), but an uncharacteristic positiveness was in the apocalyptic fog.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CxxR0edrXG5/?img_index=1

The distorted song revealed itself to be Diane Ross chanting ‘I still believe in love’, the fragrance from the petals pleasantly lingered, and the fog was in bright shades of pink and yellow. The inspiration behind this change was Bjork: ‘I went to (her) concert and her intelligent, life-affirming energy made me kinda embarrassed of my own mopey adolescent pessimism.’ said the designer.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CxvocnGNWIi/?img_index=2

That’s not to say that the show wasn’t Owens at its core. The opening looks established a black theme filled with skin-tight silhouettes, long leather skirts, and structural jersey draping that remained a theme throughout. Models wore alien-like black contact lenses and slicked-back hair with micro bras, oversized gloves, and shaded sunglasses. Wastlines were high and hemlines were low, complete with the brand’s signature pointed shoulders.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CxvmFCOgRHW/?img_index=10

But then entered this utopic hope. Pink, burgundy, red, and brown reiterations of the black getups appeared, with delicate wedding trains and capes substituting sheer funeral veils. Then came silk garments billowing in the wind and the ‘donut’ gowns we saw last season– puffball cylinder-shaped mini and midi dresses in toned-down pastels. It’s that same faith we had in the models, watching them brave through stairs and wind in sky-high platforms and orthopedic gladiator sandals.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CxvmFCOgRHW/?img_index=1

It was surprisingly refreshing seeing his usual structural artwork interpolated with more wearable pieces– we can’t remember the last time we saw Owens do cropped leather jackets, and his decision to use lava red is sure to bring in commercial success for the brand.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CxxAl5XNatM/

In LINO he found a cautious sanguineness, making us see the beauty present on Earth amongst his signature melancholic futurism. There was no better way to show this than by using eco-friendly recycled yarn for getups that were perfect for an ecological apocalypse. The five final looks certainly made us think of doomsday preparation: differently colored hazmat loose jumpsuits covered every inch of skin. From beginning to end, Owens urges us not to ignore the bitter and harsh reality, and yet he inspires us to find the light in the darkness.

Dior SS24

Renown for their feminine silhouettes cult label Dior threw away their playbook this season instead, Creative Director, Maria Grazia Chiuri has injected feminism the collection, willing for women to dress for themselves.

Chiuri invites us to reimagine the female archetypes, from the ‘dangerous’ medieval witches to the ‘devilish’ femme fatales of 19th Century France. In a nearly all-black color palette, the show was a funeral for the clichés we have been fed our whole lives, unchaining the women of the present through garments that reclaim the power of the past.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Cxs4DqKPCDI/?img_index=3

Bewitching displays were present in fishnet and cobweb patterns, charred gray denim, delicate lace dresses, and frayed tailoring. The Parisienne Independent Thinkers were in the maps and Eiffel Tower graphics on structured blazers and long woolen coats. She reframed female stereotypes by adding gladiator straps to ballet pumps, utilitarian silhouettes to aprons and capes, and fitting power suits under dainty, cinched belts.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Cxtgraftu9o/?img_index=1

Contrasting her earnest message was a colorful backdrop filled with satirical feminist slogans: the ‘Not Her’ art installation by Italian artist Elena Bellantoni. “It’s the dark side of Dior!” Chiuri claimed with a enchanting glint in her eyes.

Karoline Vito SS24

On the closing day of MFW, just as the sun finally shone after a week of rain, Karoline Vitto made history. Known for her body-positive clothes, the London-based Brazilian designer had a tear-filled, monumental show supported by Dolce & Gabbana. Although she has been making waves for the last two years with her inclusivity message at LFW, it’s nothing compared to the significance of having only plus-sized models strut down the Milan runways.

Vitto brought true, authentic inclusivity to the fashion capital. Models from size 10 to 24, were flown in from her London studio. The collection further proved this, as she used her signature jersey and metal materials to hug the folds and curves society condemns women for.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CxtItzltRBS/?img_index=1

Structural metal rings laddered down hips and thighs, while skimpy swimwear, barely-there slip dresses, and low-rise trousers celebrated models’ bodies. Structured bustiers, skin-bearing vests, and jersey cutout dresses followed. Vitto wants the runway to represent real women because, in her own words, ‘the majority of us are not sample size, we should be seen.”

https://www.instagram.com/p/CxnmIPBtBSG/?img_index=6

After showing with incubator Fashion East at LFW for the past two years, Vitto gained the support of Dolce & Gabanna after world-renowned stylist Katie Grand vouched for her. It comes as no surprise then that we saw classic Dolce lingerie shapes and references to their 1992 collection, coupled with the archive fabric and size-inclusive heels gifted to Vitto by the Maison.

Post-show, editors, models, guests, and the designer herself hugged in joyful tears. Ashley Graham, who opened the show, exclaimed: “You should be crying, it was incredible! We just made history!” She then turned to the reporters. “It feels normal. You want diversity? This is diversity. More designers should be doing this. We need more curves on the runway, we need to have this be the normal. If I’m feeling normal on a runway with this many girls, it means that there’s something that doesn’t feel normal on runways everywhere else.” If this is where fashion is going, count all of us in.

Vaquera SS24

For the SS24 season, Patric DiCaprio and Bryn Taubensee brought their signature NY subversive eroticism to Paris. The show was a look at how celebrities navigate a life filled with cameras– and how we do too, now that we’ve all become our own paparazzi.

Models used ball caps, black-tinted sunglasses, and bags to hide from the flashing cameras and high-pitched tones that made the runway. They dodged and pushed their way through standing guests who, ironically (or appropriately) filmed everything like fans pushing against a security barricade.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Cxp6IgJI2dX/

Inspired by the 00s and 10s, we saw fishnet bodysuits, puffball gowns, bottomless chaps, and a ‘I Heart NY’ shoulder bag. Titled ‘Does It Really Matter’, the show even brought back Tumblr’s most wanted 2000s piece: the ‘Commes des Fuckdown’ slogan cap.

Vaquera questions whether celebrities’ need to be either constantly filmed or remain anonymous really matters when everyone has an iPhone anyway. Whether our own desire to hide or film ourselves truly deserves any attention. Reflecting this camera-shy vs. camera-loving duality, conventional looks were split down the back to reveal buttcheaks and bra straps.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Cxp8XOZIQOJ/

A traditional black tube skirt was overlayed with pink underwear, simple black pantsuits had bondage straps, and golden tank tops had breast cut-out circles. Even if the show stood out for bringing out its classic devilish fun, the message behind it gave us food for thought–or, in this case, fashion for thought.

AVAVAV SS24

Every season, Stockholm-born designer Beate Karlsson breaks the internet with her humor-riddled show (last time the clothes literally fell apart down the runway). And, although the SS24 crowd also ended in laughter and delightful. And, although the SS24 crowd also ended in laughter and delightful gasps, the now-viral collection called out the toxic hustle culture we live in.

Stressed-looking models sped down the runway as they finished dressing, some even sporting half-finished designs or mascara running down their faces. The show opened with the backstage staff quickly stamping ‘AVAVAV’ post-its on the wall and pushing a model onto the runway. After anxiously trying to return BTS, she took off in quick strides as the second model appeared wearing an unfinished graphic T-shirt with “ADD BACK?! lettering.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Cxp4V3HsYey/?img_index=2

The show was about emoting the pressure, chaos, and overwhelm we deal with regularly. It called out the time crunches and unrealistic deadlines designers have to meet while juggling a million things season after season after– you get the point. Models fought back tears as they sported sheer leggings, gloves, and furry boots with “Filthy Rich” tattooed on their chest instead of a top.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CxnXg06Mdbb/?img_index=1

Some hid their faces altogether with front-facing hoodies, others had question-marked Sharpie annotations on T-shirts and one walked out wrapped in duct tape. Near the end, a model even ran down the runway with two foam blocks that read “ADD SHAPE”. What really took the lid off was the last look: a power suit made entirely of empty post-its. Titled, “NO TIME TO DESIGN”, AVAVAV somehow managed to be the most out-of-the-box and relatable show of Paris Fashion Week, simultaneously.

While most people wouldn’t go to dinner or a club in just their bikini, layering a see-through mesh or crochet dress over the top completely transforms the look into a party-ready outfit.

Cutout swimwear

Coutout clothing is so trendy right now and has been seen everywhere, from the runway to the high street, or both (think Mugler x HM)! This is definitely a style for influencers, as although it is really flattering, it can produce some very abstract tan lines— you have been warned!

Layering

This style is super unique but is a really cool and unusual look that will definitely turn heads this summer. Of course, layering is an essential part of street style, but is not really something we often see in swimwear. If you can’t find a swimsuit designed with a layered look like this one, get creative and transform two pieces to create your own!

Metallic fabrics are one of the biggest trends of 2023 and are perfect in summer as they reflect the light and make your tan pop. Whether you go for a classic gold or silver hue or opt for a brighter pink or green, a metallic swimsuit is essential this summer!

Asymmetric hems and cutouts have dominated the runway this past season and are a great way to spice up your poolside looks. This contemporary take on a traditional swimsuit keeps it classic but adds that 2023 vibe.

In past years, we have seen metallic and beaded belly chains, but we didn’t see actual belts coming into trend with swimwear. While it is a totally impractical addition, it is so summery and plays into the summer trend of coastal cowgirls. Just imagine this look complete with cowboy boots!

The Denim Skirt

This past year, all things denim have been resuscitated from the 90s straight to our wardrobes. Although the fashion world usually fights over which trends are coming back, we’ve all agreed on one thing: denim skirts are more in than ever. It dominated this season’s fashion weeks, from the Maison Margiela and Diesel shows to Rihanna and Bella Hadid’s street-style looks. Whether you wear a dark wash midi skirt with a blazer as a spring office look or a micro one with a cropped cami for a summer rooftop party, the denim skirt is here to stay.

The Cargo Skirt

Another aesthetic that won’t be going away this spring is Y2K. But what does this look like for our skirts? You guessed it: cargo. If you were one of the fashionistas sporting cargo pants this winter, this is the perfect way to give the look a spring makeover. And if you weren’t, now’s the time to finally try out the trend! Although it has a military origin, celebrities and influencers everywhere have adapted the look to fit their style– and you can too. Get inspired by Aiyana Ishmael’s schoolgirl core and wear it with loafers, or copy Elsa Hosk’s casual look and dress it up with a leather jacket. Spotted at Miu Miu and Blumarine, it’s official: cargo skirts are the new spring staple.

The Ruffled Skirt

It’s nothing new that ruffles and spring go together like Beyoncé and Jay-Z. And what better way to welcome the season than with a signature spring look? Vertical ruffles have been spotted at Milan and New York fashion week, and are a sure way to make a statement and embody your feminine energy. Leading the trend is the it-girl cult brand Fancí Club, with Doja Cat and Hailey Bieber both donning it. We know ruffles can be a bit too dramatic, but adding them to a skirt is the perfect opportunity to try it out without fully committing to its ostentatiousness. You can dress it down by styling a mini version with some kitten heels and a white tee, or lean into the drama by coupling a high split chiffon piece with a daring top. This spring and summer we’re sure to see fashion lovers playing very differently with the trend, but one thing is for sure: we’re all adding ruffles to our wishlist ASAP.

The Boho Crochet Skirt

If you were one of the ones that learned to crochet during the pandemic, we’ve got good news for you (and we’re extremely jealous): boho crochet skirts are back. You may remember saving these to your Pinterest board circa 2014 but don’t be surprised if they start to make an appearance again. The 70s look has been gaining momentum over the last few months, especially with the arrival of festival season (Hi Coachella!) and the popularity of the Daisy Jones & The Six TV show. Its semi-sheer nature makes it the perfect piece to survive a warm spring day or a scorching summer, so this June you can
catch us watching knitting tutorials on YouTube obsessively. If you’re not up for the extra work though, here are some of our favourite picks:

The Breezy Maxi Skirt

Nothing screams spring more than a lightweight, breezy skirt– and this time around we’re giving the look a maxi update. A warm weather classic, the loose, long skirt will have you wanting to dump even your favourite pair of jeans. It’s no wonder it’s loved by stylists and A-Listers everywhere– it comes in many colors and prints perfect for any occasion. The possibilities are endless: pair it with cowboy boots and a graphic tee to go thrifting or wear it as part of a bold coloured co-ord for a clubbing look. Our point is, if you need to be picnic-ready at three but have a fancy dinner at eight, the breezy maxi skirt is the way to go.
