Buy Now, Wear Now: 6 Must-Have Trends for Spring/Summer

Fashion's ongoing love affair with sport-infused elements isn't slowing down. This season, sporty details made their way onto luxury pieces from the likes of Miu Miu, Ralph Lauren, Brandon Maxwell, and Casablanca, blending functionality with elegance. Think of sneakers paired with tailored skirts, sporty bombers over cocktail dresses, or luxe track pants replacing regular slacks. It’s all about mixing comfort with sophistication in a way that feels chic without trying too hard.

What to look for now: A sleek bomber jacket or a pair of elevated sneakers will instantly inject an element of sportiness into your wardrobe without looking overly casual. Track-inspired pants are versatile too — they can be dressed up or down with the right accessories.

Nostalgia was in full force on the SS25 runways, with designers like Saint Laurent and Versace channeling the most influential eras of the 20th century. There was a notable return to ‘90s minimalism, which celebrated sleek, clean lines and subtle sensuality. But this vintage revival wasn’t just about one decade — designers also embraced the ‘70s and ‘80s, reimagining some iconic shapes and silhouettes, with updated materials and bold patterns.

What to look for now: Vintage-inspired denim, bias-cut skirts, and tailored blazers with shoulder pads are immediate ways to incorporate this trend into your closet. You can also take a cue from the '90s and opt for minimalist slip dresses or simple slip skirts that pair effortlessly with chunky sneakers or delicate sandals.

Spring/Summer 2025 saw a rise in sculptural silhouettes, with designers like Victoria Beckham and Khaite experimenting with geometric shapes and architectural forms. From oversized ruffles to asymmetrical hems, the key to this trend is the bold use of structure. These pieces defy expectations while still embracing femininity, offering a way to stand out without sacrificing elegance.

What to look for now: A sculptural top or an asymmetrical dress can immediately refresh your wardrobe with this avant-garde trend. For those who are more reserved, a single sculptural accessory — like a structured handbag or statement shoes — can do the trick.

Florals for spring are nothing new, but for SS25, designers offered a refreshing update to this classic print — just look at the collections from Valentino, Erdem, and Giambattista Valli. Gone are the dainty, muted flowers of seasons past; in their place are bold, oversized blooms in unexpected color combinations. These vibrant florals make a statement, playing with scale, and sometimes even adding elements of digital print or hand-painted aesthetics for a more modern twist.

What to look for now: A floral dress or blouse in a bright, punchy color palette — think fuchsia, tangerine, or electric blue — will feel more contemporary and add energy to your wardrobe. If you’re feeling adventurous, a floral pantsuit or printed accessories can make a huge impact.

Sheer fabrics were everywhere on the Spring/Summer 2025 runways, offering a light, breezy option to supercharge your wardrobe. Sheer isn’t just about revealing skin — it’s about adding texture, depth, and a sense of airiness to outfits. Designers from Tory Burch and Michael Kors to Tom Ford and Nensi Dojaka and played with layering sheer materials over bold prints, creating intriguing looks that demand attention.

What to look for now: Layering sheer tops over a structured bra or fitted t-shirt is an easy way to bring this trend into your wardrobe. Sheer skirts or dresses, when paired with high-waisted shorts or a slip underneath, create an ethereal effect that’s wearable yet daring.

This season, the pastel palette is emerging as a key player for both day and nightwear. But this time around, they're a bit bolder, with designers like Chloé, Alaïa, and Issey Miyake using them in unexpected ways. From head-to-toe tailored suits to fluid, ethereal dresses in delicate pinks, lilacs, and buttery yellows, the look is fresh and empowering.

What to look for now: Opt for pastel pants or a blazer that brings a modern twist to the office, or invest in a soft-hued midi dress that can transition from brunch to evening with ease.
