Fashion month is famous for highlighting the big hitters: Prada, Gucci and Fendi, to name but a few. Yet the luxury labels that fashion editors truly favour and often splurge significant amounts of our paychecks in pursuit of, aren’t always the huge household names. And New York-based brand Khaite is a perfect example.

Standing out as a highlight of the New York Fashion Week schedule this season, Khaite showcased its spring/summer 2025 collection in the centre of the city to industry experts and famous faces including Anna Wintour, Susie Lau and Eva Chen.

As expected, it was undeniably chic, and if you thought the sheer trend wouldn’t quite tie in with a more formal feel, you’d find yourself mistaken. Think subtle see-through black blouses under blazers, neutral sheer trousers beneath straight-cut tunics and translucent tights that offer a hint of sheen. Plus, we were shown a simplistic colour palette of creams, blacks, pale pinks and one pop of red, proving that shades needn’t be striking to make an impact when paired with the right materials.

The three key takeaways? The sharp focus on structure with sharp tailoring taking centre stage; the mixing of materials, as lightweight chiffon contrasted with chunky crochet and plenty of soft silk finds; and the brand’s love for great leather. So expect to see these three styling trends start to trickle down into our wardrobes next season, just like the knitted co-ord that shot the brand to fashion fame.
