Top 10 Summer Fashion Trends to Try in 2025

Summer 2025 is shaping up to be a season of bold choices, fresh aesthetics, and unexpected comebacks. Whether you're planning a beach vacation, building a capsule wardrobe, or just want to stay on-trend, these summer fashion trends will keep your style game strong. From color palettes to silhouettes, here are the top 10 looks to embrace this season.

1. Soft Sorbet Tones

Move over neon — 2025 is all about soft pastels. Think sorbet shades like peach, pistachio, lavender, and lemon. These colors are easy to style, light-reflective (perfect for hot weather), and instantly refreshing.


2. Sheer Everything

Sheer fabrics are trending across runways and street style. Whether it’s a mesh overlay dress, see-through blouse, or semi-sheer maxi skirt, this trend allows you to layer creatively while staying cool.

3. The “Coastal Cowgirl” Aesthetic

Picture denim shorts, linen shirts, light leather boots, and straw accessories. The western-meets-beach vibe is relaxed yet confident, and perfect for summer festivals or weekend trips.

4. Statement Sets

Matching two-piece sets — from crop tops with skirts to coordinated pantsuits — are both easy and polished. In 2025, expect bolder patterns, asymmetry, and playful cutouts.

5. Sporty Minimalism

Think tennis-inspired skirts, zip-up tops, bike shorts, and sleek white sneakers. This trend balances athletic function with clean aesthetics — ideal for busy summer days.

6. Maxi Dresses with a Twist

Maxi dresses aren’t new, but this season they’re reinvented with asymmetric hems, side cut-outs, twisted straps, and tie details. They’re romantic, breezy, and surprisingly versatile.

7. Elevated Loungewear

Loungewear goes luxe with satin finishes, wide-leg trousers, and tailored knit tops. Perfect for those who want to look put-together without giving up comfort.

8. Metallic Accessories

Silver and chrome are dominating accessories this year. Add a futuristic touch with metallic handbags, platform sandals, or hoop earrings — they elevate any basic outfit.

9. Micro Bags & Oversized Totes

Yes, both extremes are trending. While micro bags offer a touch of fun and minimalism, oversized totes are making a comeback for practical fashion lovers.

10. Sculptural Sunglasses

Eyewear is getting bold in 2025. From geometric shapes to colorful lenses, sunglasses are no longer just protection — they’re the statement piece of your look.

How to Wear These Trends

You don’t need to overhaul your wardrobe to embrace 2025 style. Start by mixing one or two trends into your everyday outfits. Try pairing a soft pastel maxi dress with metallic sandals, or layer a sheer blouse over a minimal sporty crop top. Fashion this summer is about self-expression, comfort, and confidence.

Summer 2025’s fashion landscape is playful, creative, and surprisingly wearable. Whether you're drawn to dreamy colors, bold accessories, or reinvented classics, there’s a trend for every mood and personality. Try something new — your summer wardrobe will thank you.

Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas Win Best-Dressed Couple at the SAG Awards

Image
Tonight, the 2020 Screen Actors Guild Awards kicked off in Los Angeles, California with a red carpet filled with Hollywood's biggest names, including the likes of Scarlett Johansson and Cynthia Erivo. Arguably the best-dressed duo of the evening, Sophie Turner and her husband Joe Jonas stood out even in this exceptionally star-studded crowd. The Game of Thrones actor worked with Louis Vuitton for her SAG Awards look this year with designer Nicolas Ghesquière creating a custom strapless floor-length gown in bright satin fuchsia. With its subtle sweetheart neckline, darting at the tips, and a western-inspired belt buckle cinched at the waist, it was an unabashedly glamorous look that felt simultaneously classic and current. The sexy high slit—an ode to Jessica Rabbit, perhaps?—amplified that feeling, as did her simple metallic stiletto sandals. Meanwhile, Jonas played up his wife’s streamlined aesthetic with a traditional tuxedo by Boss that was finished with all the requisite bl...

Out of Clothes? You Can Always Use a Pillow

Image
There are officially no rules anymore when it comes to posting Insta-worthy outfits. Even amid a global pandemic, creativity abounds, and that’s how I assume the #pillowchallenge got started on Instagram. The social media challenge involves taking one or more large pillows and fashioning them into a minidress via a belt around the middle. Yes, your back is totally exposed, but from the front it looks like the kind of waist-cinching, thigh-skimming confection you might expect to see on the runway. Personally, I think it looks like something Jeremy Scott would show—daring, irreverent, silly, and a little sexy. It is truly absurdist fashion and also the epitome of dressing for the gram. Why? Because it doesn’t matter what you look like from any other angle, so long as you capture that one shot! And the results are delightful. Brittany Xavier, an especially social media savvy influencer (she’s big on TikTok) said, “I didn’t want the pillow to look too sexy like lingerie, but rather mor...

Activewear is Booming, But Only a Few Labels Are Making it Consciously

Image
New Yorkers are coming up on month three of remote work. While other parts of the country are slowly reopening for business, we probably won’t go to a dinner party, a concert, or a restaurant until the end of summer (if not later). The fact that most of us live in small apartments only compounds the sense of cabin fever. That’s why this Memorial Day Weekend feels like a particular gift: Not only are we getting an extra day to unwind, take a long walk, and disconnect from our laptops, but the weather looks pretty good, too. Many of us will take the opportunity to get some exercise—perhaps outdoor yoga or a bike ride along the Hudson—and might be inspired to pick up some new workout clothes, too. Activewear and loungewear are among the only apparel categories that saw an increase in demand at the onset of COVID-19, understandably so; we’re working out at home and prioritizing comfort more than ever. It’s great that we’re finding ways to destress and stay healthy, but when you pause...
