This season’s indulgent top trends for AW25
By Michaela Longstaff, Mikko Shoes founder
The first tell-tale signs of Autumn/ Winter are here: shorter days, refreshingly crisp evenings, and, of course, Mikko's indulgent new season collection.

AW25 brings a thoughtful shift away from the uber-casual and towards everyday elegance, complemented by a palette drawn from wintery landscapes. You’ll love the two key trend stories defining the mood of the season, which celebrates the emotive 50’s and 60’s with a wistful note of romanticism.
The ‘She’s a Mod’ collection is an ode to contemporary mod styling with masculine inspired refinement. Embrace this minimalist, playful gamine look with ballet flats, lace-ups and updated Mary Janes, paired back perfectly with wide legged pants, blazers and straight skirts.
In contrast, ‘The New Look’ trend story delivers refined classics with a contemporary twist: think tapered toes, understated trims, and mid-block heels. Pair with lady-like blouses, cardigans and skirts, or jeans for effortless polish.
‘Heritage Texture’ adds strength to feminine dressing with floral embroidery, bouclé, velvet, houndstooth, and leopard print – English country meets book club. A sophisticated alternative to sneakers, our ‘No Fuss Flats’ collection delivers on the very strong trend for minimalist flats. Perfect for an elegant elevated look – this trend is here to stay.
Inspired by nature, this season’s colour palette is designed to blend seamlessly into your wardrobe. ‘Terra Nova’ embraces the richness of the outdoors with fauna inspired tones of caramel, toffee, forest, and olive; while ‘Winter Fog’ offers après-ski cool with vanilla, limestone, ivory, and smoke – perfect with chunky knits, winter tailoring and faux fur trims.
It wouldn’t be winter without the signature ‘Cool Blues’ collection, offering a cornerstone winter hue. From strong denim influences to enduring navy and oceanic tones, this palette is a refreshing alternative to black, transitioning effortlessly from autumn to spring.
Overall, the new collection celebrates the return to everyday elegance - creating curated, purposeful styling.
