The selections at Fendi and Coach pay homage to the generation fixated with trends from the ’90s and early aughts, with shoulder bags and Y2K jewellery making prominent appearances. From cute choker pendants at Coach to more kitschy styles at Versace, it's evident that designers are placing an emphasis on this jewellery style as well.

The easiest way to ace that Y2K style: cropped jacket and cut-off denims paired with tinted shades and a black leather choker.

28/61

Gender-neutral accessories take the lead this season, with Louis Vuitton styling most of its looks with ties, and Miu Miu's smart loafers paired unexpectedly with super low-waist skirts. Socks and loafers are slowly but surely taking over the long reign of the sneakers-and-socks combo.

43/61

It's all about skin-tight thigh-high boots at Versace, sheer hosiery at Gucci, and shiny, sparkly handbags at Valentino — all perfect companions for a sexy night out. Channel the sexy siren this season by wearing your sheer stockings with embellished heels.

Thigh-high heels don't just come in your typical black patent styles, but also in pastel pink at Burberry and pastel green at Givenchy.

48/61

Tread with caution when stylish those thigh-high boots so you'll look trendy, not tacky. Remember: less skin and more proportion, whether it's an oversized jacket or an asymmetrical midi skirt as the key pairings in your ensemble.

18. Pillow clutches

There's been a strong traction for clutches since Bottega Veneta's iconic "Pouch Bag" clutches debuted in 2019. This season, brands from Versace to Loewe follow suit with their renditions of pillow-style clutches.

Look to examples from Miu Miu's low-slung, embellished-buckle belt on a micro miniskirt to Roberto Cavalli, who demonstrated unorthodox ways to style your belt — preferably over a bare torso.

20. Trophy shoes
