Written by Amy Jackson.

We’ve reached an era where accessories and undergarments are no longer hiding in the shadows – already evident in the rise of the mini short and innovative iterations of silk scarf tops. It comes as no surprise that we are now seeing fashion tights emerge from being background accessories or afterthoughts in our wardrobes. Statement stockings are demanding the spotlight this season, storming the stage on the SS24 runway; from Saint Laurent’s intricate and complex lace to Issey Miyake’s hosiery hues. Designers and the fashion literate alike are seizing the opportunity to revolutionise an outfit through use of the humble undergarment; in an unexpected, tight, twist. Gilded cutouts, delicate monograms, and bold pigments are cementing their position as the main act – and here we are, front and centre. Read on to discover our Editor’s picks and the best of the season.
