As we step into Spring and Summer 2025, people who love fashion are super excited to try out new styles. I watched a fashion expert named Justine who reviewed all the biggest runway collections. In this blog post, I’ll break down the trends she found and explain how regular people can wear them. I’ll also share examples from big designers and how they styled everything on the runway.
This is kind of like a case study project but make it fashion. I looked at how designers interpreted these trends and added links to Vogue’s Spring/Summer 2025 Ready-to-Wear coverage for more inspiration. These trends are perfect for warmer weather, from spring picnics to summer hangouts.
Elevated Athleisure: Comfy Meets Chic
This trend is about mixing sporty clothes with stylish, dressy elements. It’s great for spring and summer because it’s light, comfy, and still looks cool.
- Ralph Lauren had models in cozy turtlenecks, elegant trousers, ski glasses, and matching bags—like you’re about to walk a runway on a mountain.
- Ferragamo showed strap tops layered over bodysuits and leggings. Justine suggests you could swap the bodysuit for a knitted dress, which feels more wearable in hot weather.
- Lacoste and Ralph Lauren also went for flowy skirts with sporty tops, especially in beige and off-white colors.
- Miu Miu did something creative—tying jackets and sweaters around the bust over a white skirt.
- Prada styled a shiny metallic dress under a sailor-style coat, but the cap was a little over the top.
Spring/Summer Styling Tip: Try mixing sneakers with flowy skirts or pairing a sporty top with fancy trousers. Light fabrics work best under the sun.
Tank Tops: The ’90s Are Back
Tank tops are making a major comeback this season, especially white ones with wide straps. Super simple but super versatile for warm days.
- Stella McCartney paired printed tank tops with super-wide trousers—perfect for an edgy streetwear look.
- Coperni made theirs cooler by adding distressed fringes in all-black.
- Moschino had a rope design going across the chest and waist, which was one of Justine’s favorites.
- For nighttime looks, Dior used shiny tanks, and Rabanne layered them under mesh and sequin fabrics.
Spring/Summer Styling Tip: Don’t be afraid to customize your tank tops! Add pins, brooches, or layer them under something see-through for a night out. Pair with denim or cotton wide-leg pants to keep things breezy.
Tulle Fabric: Dreamy & Soft
Tulle is super light and perfect for spring and summer. It makes every outfit look soft and romantic, kind of like a fairytale.
- Chanel went all in with tulle tops, shorts, dresses, and capes in matching pastel colors.
- Sportmax showed a two-color tulle draped outfit. It looked fancy but a bit hard to wear every day unless you style it down.
- Jason Wu used tulle with Japanese-style boxy prints, making it look super unique.
- Nancy Dojaka wrapped tulle around shoulders—great with skirts for an evening vibe.
Spring/Summer Styling Tip: Add a layer of tulle over dark jeans or a simple mini skirt. It adds movement and is super cute for summer evenings or garden parties.
Plaid Patterns: A Little British Twist
Usually, plaid feels more like fall, but this spring/summer it’s back in lighter ways.
- Burberry stayed true to their roots with tiny plaid prints on trousers—perfect for beginners.
- The Row made plaid coats that totally stood out against the rest of the outfit.
- Some designers even played with sheer plaid linings, which looked cool and artsy.
Spring/Summer Styling Tip: Try plaid on light fabrics like cotton or linen. Pair with plain tops so it’s not too loud. Light blue and beige plaids are super wearable in warmer months.
Men’s Wear Inspired Suits: Power Looks
Suits aren’t just for the office anymore. These ones are wider, more flowy, and look great even in warm spring or summer evenings.
- Hugo Boss showed three-piece suits with a super relaxed fit.
- Bottega Veneta added creative touches like one-leg trousers and oversized shirt collars.
- The Attico added flowy scarves for a romantic feel.
- Saint Laurent added masculine colors and strong shoulders, almost vintage-looking.
Spring/Summer Styling Tip: Try wearing suits in lighter fabrics like linen or cotton. Pair with a simple tank or crop top underneath to stay cool. Don’t forget sneakers—they make suits feel less formal.
Mocha Color: The Shade of the Season
Mocha is the star color of Spring/Summer 2025. It’s cozy, warm, and looks amazing on all skin tones.
- Giorgio Armani mixed mocha with lighter brown shades using silky and sheer fabrics.
- Hermès added texture with deeper browns and leather.
- Miu Miu made mocha pop by pairing it with electric blue.
- Simon Miller used gradients of mocha and brown, with soft accessories like chocolate brown handbags.
Spring/Summer Styling Tip: Mix mocha with white or sandy colors for a beachy look. Try it in fabrics like satin or chiffon to keep it light and breathable.
Conclusion: Which Trends Will You Try?
Justine believes all these trends are wearable if you style them right. Whether you like soft tulle, comfy athleisure, or bold suits, there’s something for everyone this spring and summer.
My personal favorites were the mocha color looks and the sporty athleisure outfits—they seem the most wearable for school or weekend outings.
Let me know which trend you’d try or which one you’d skip. Would you wear a tied jacket like Miu Miu or go full tulle like Chanel? Either way, Spring and Summer 2025 are going to be stylish.
