5. Pins of Colours

It’s time to swap your black hosiery for something a whole lot bolder and louder: coloured tights. A key styling item in Miuccia Prada and Raf Simmons’ Prada spring/summer 2025 runway collection (Mrs Prada even walked out in a purple numer!), the unexpected accessory has made its way to the streets, brightening up fits and moods. Once seen mainly on young children, bright tights are now part of eclectic, expressive ensembles. Pair yours with similar hues for a full-on tone-on-tone look, or contrast them against a neutral fit for that pop of colour, or, do it like Prada and wear yours under a sheer skirt for a leggy, sexy take.

6. Fringe Benefits

Fringe is dominating both the runway and the streets this season. From earrings paired with a minimalist look to accentuate subtle movements, to playful trims on hems and sleeves for just the right amount of drama, to traffic-stopping fringe-covered statement pieces. Whether you decide on going full tilt with fringe, or contrast yours with a crisp button-down for office days—remember to live a little, and enjoy the unadulterated fun that swishy detail brings with every step.
