We are tantalisingly close to 2025, and while the new year signals a clean slate in many ways, fashion isn’t always necessarily one of them. The trends that are big this side of the 31st won’t disappear at the stroke of midnight, replaced by even fresher looks; inevitably some of what we’re seeing now and will come with us into the next 365 days. And while this will apply to all of the main trend headliners, it’s also true for the smaller microtrends we’ve seen bubbling up recently.

What is a microtrend? This is what we like to call looks and pieces that are distilled down from bigger trends of the season, resulting in these smaller off-shoot trends. An example of this might be the top-to-toe leopard print outfits that we saw on the runways—while it’s rare to see someone wearing such a look, how the trend is being worn in real life is often a microtrend. In this instance, this could be the leopard print bags I’ve seen so much of on the streets of London lately.
