Summer 2025 Trends You Need to Know Now
Tank tops for U-turns
Tank tops have long been recognized as wardrobe classics, serving as a dependable base layer for any outfit throughout the year. And in recent seasons, this essential has undergone numerous high-fashion renovations, with designers attempting to elevate the tank above its humble origins. See: Rabanne spring/summer 2025 tank top worn as a dress adorned with chainmail, Willy Chavarria tank worn with belted wide-leg trousers, 16Arlington knitted sheer tank, Ralph Lauren tank-and-high-waisted skirt combination, and Stella McCartney tanks printed with "mother" across the chest and "fucker" in smaller font below. What neckline should you champion this summer?
The nightie dress
Just-out-of-bed style is a common theme in the winter months, when people swaddle themselves in outerwear that resembles cosy down duvets, but it’s possible to replicate the feeling in the summer, too. The nightie dress, which is made from cotton poplin or silky fabrications and has a whimsical, bedroom-worthy appearance, is this summer’s answer to a throw-on dress, as it has a slightly undone quality. It’s yet another interpretation of the ongoing cycle of “granny” trends that have emerged in recent months, with a loose fit and a flourish of details, including broderie anglaise, lace and ribbons. As shopping editor Joy Montgomery outlined in her hot-take on the nightie dress: “The style may resemble the sorts of frocks you see advertised in packs of five in knitting magazines”. Her sage advice to pulling it off? “The secret to its success lies in the execution and, of course, the styling.”
Get sporty: upgrading athleisure basics.
The sporty spirit created by numerous football tournaments, the Olympics, World Championships, and, of course, Vogue World's athletic-themed spectacular in Paris has filtered into designers' collections. Consider Miu Miu, GCDS, and Tolu Coker's block-coloured track jackets for spring, as well as Ferragamo and Simone Rocha's references to "balletcore". Wales Bonner nailed sporty fashion once more with her ongoing relationship with Adidas Originals, which was seamlessly paired with her regular items for spring/summer 2025.
Teen spirit: summer plaid
In 2025, how will grunge be interpreted in a new way? Plaid, but do it elegantly. Check out The Row's square-neck checkered maxi dress, complete with black bows on the shoulders. Elsewhere, the print was explored through flannel shirts (inspired by Nirvana's Kurt Cobain, who was known for his love of checks), ruffled skirts, and outerwear. Matthieu Blazy, who sent a fresh-faced Kate Moss down his spring/summer 2023 catwalk in trompe l'oeil leather "jeans," a white tank top, and a checked shirt worn nonchalantly undone, revisited the pattern for spring/summer 2025 as a thick coat-come-shirt. plaid outfits
Scout’s honour: utility gear in khaki and olive
Fashion is made all the better when there’s an element of functionality – be it a cleverly-placed pocket or closures, like poppers and buttons, that are as stylish as they are practical. Options to consider for the new season are Sacai’s cargo trousers, the desert hues explored at Isabel Marant, or the funnel-neck jackets seen at Gucci and Mugler. There were also looks that boasted scout-ish charm: Fashion East’s Olly Shinder took the brief literally and added a preppy hat and neckerchief to one of his looks. utility gear
