These runway trends will influence everything from playful prints to lightweight fabrics, redefining how we dress for the warmer months. Let’s dive into what 2025 summer fashion trends we are set to see dominate our socials.
Boho Chic
Boho chic is making a strong comeback for SS25, with suede set to be a standout trend. We can anticipate suede matching sets, accessories and boxy cropped jackets. Lace will also be prominent, featuring in sheer dresses, skirts, and micro bloomer shorts, creating a blend of soft, feminine textures and structured, tailored looks.

Capri Pants
Capri pants are making a comeback! Once considered controversial and out of style, these bottoms are set to be the hottest trend for spring/summer, thanks to the influence of A-listers and recent runway shows. Celebrities have been rocking classic black capris in various styles, giving them a chic, French-girl appeal. As we revisit the 20-year fashion cycle, capri pants are bringing back the early 2010s vibe in a fresh, modern way.
