From swirling, psychedelic prints at Gabriela Hearst and Givenchy, to vibrant, sunset-hued knits at Isabel Marant and Paco Rabanne, the runways served as a love letter to color-wonderful hippies of a bygone era. But lest you take this as a literal throwback, take note of interesting shapes, proportions, and weaving techniques that make these looks inescapably for here and now.

Whatever it may lack in keeping secrets or holding car keys, the catsuit more than makes up for in sheer novelty and ease of movement. All-in-ones spotted at Roberto Cavalli and Victor Glemaud felt like a brand-new approach to getting dressed and showcasing your best assets—whether that be covered in sparkles à la Burberry, in a full-on blackout as seen at Balenciaga, or a garden variety floral at Collina Strada.

Perhaps it’s what the age of virtual workouts has wrought, but there’s no denying designers’ commitment to showing off some midriffs. From Y2K schoolgirl prep at Miu Miu to vibrant ’60s brights at Max Mara and Moschino, and glam ’80s allusions at Versace, the only question that remains is simply this: Why cover your belly when you can show it off?

This season is marked in part by the very best clothes to party in. And nothing hits the dance floor in quite the same way as some fringe (ahem, Roaring ’20s). Dresses at Rodarte, Dries Van Noten, Ferragamo, and Proenza Schouler leveraged the ASMR-soundtracked movement a good fringe dress can elicit. Not that you can hear it over the DJ.

Dolce & Gabbana, LaQuan Smith, Michael Kors, and Fendi all got the memo: Suiting is made to pair with bras and bikini tops. Maybe we spent so many months away from offices, designers decided that when the return to work happens, it needs to look a little different—and dare we say, sexier? Whether these suits and bras are built for the board meeting or dinner out, there’s no doubt they’re statement making.

These contrasting combinations are many things, but basic isn’t one of them. Done up in stripes and polka dots, the current approach to black and white is graphic, yes, but it’s also playful, bold, and, in short, head turning. Tory Burch’s corseted dress felt like a workwear revelation, while Schiaparelli’s disco-worthy top and skirt were a louche and luxe approach to evening, and Balmain’s maillot and statement-shoulder blazer, done up in spots, was a return to the ’80s we can get behind.

The Row, Prada, Chanel, Peter Do, and Raf Simons all support the notion that the bigger the jacket, the better. Why bother with anything so unhinged as a too-tight topper? Instead, leave yourself room to be, room to grow, room to layer, room to ruminate in blazers that find their power in pure volume.

Come spring, the look in shorts is less laid-back denim cutoffs, more polished and tailored shorts ensembles. Adam Lippes, Hermès, and Fendi are just some of the designers who embraced a more structured approach to having legs, knowing how to use them.

The past couple of years saw many changes in the fashion ecosystem, but none quite as impactful as our communal, widespread commitment to leisurewear. In short, ladies really know their way around some chic athletic gear, so designers need to bring their A games to impress in this particular category. Tod’s, Loewe, Stella McCartney, and Rick Owens were just some of the labels that, well, brought it.
