I'm sure you didn't think I'd make the above statement without sharing the trends with you, and you would be correct. Below, I've highlighted some of summer's most prominent trends, all of which had a prime placement on the Prada and Miu Miu S/S 23 runways.

Miu Miu and Prada's "pants-less" skirt look may leave you wondering where you'd wear such a look, but brands have interpreted the trend as miniskirts with a sheer layer of tulle over them. It's sheer styling made easy.
