If you’re someone who fancies a novelty style à la Carrie Bradshaw or still riding the high of a Cowboy Carter summer, fringe styles will be in heavy rotation this season. Coming in everything from leather and suede to beaded materials, the look is nothing short of fun. On the opposite end of the sartorial spectrum are retro doctor bags, which were inescapable on the spring/summer 2025 runways. However, designers didn’t fully reinvent the wheel, instead making small yet noticeable tweaks to freshen up the silhouette, such as leaning into of-the-moment hues (hello, butter yellow) and details like metal adornments. And we’d be remiss if we didn’t bring up the canvas bag renaissance. Once a go-to for lazy days at the beach or groceries, the cotton carryall is now, dare we say, luxe.
