While low-rise styles still reigned supreme, the were taken to new lengths with maxi styles dominating shows and the style set.
Denim iterations were spotted on multiple Spring/Summer 2023 runways including distressed styles at MM6 Maison Margiela and ultra high-waist cuts at Burberry.
Over at Alaïa, form-fitting jersey styles were paired with matching crops, while Martine Rose’s autumn/winter ’23 collection featured a number of floor-skimming styles including a pinstriped pencil silhouette paired back with a sporty tee.
