We’re back from Fashion Week and here are the top 13 trends that dominated spring/summer 2025 runways from New York to Paris. It’s all about minimalist, feminine styling. The good news: you don’t have to give up on the balloon skirt trend just yet. But maybe it’s worth taking a trip to grandma’s closet for kitschy prints. Or just pretend you’re athletic with the sportcore look. Look forward to a fresh, cool color palette with different shades of orange, surprising peep-toe shoes for summer and handbags with charms.
The spring/summer 2025 top 13 trends
1. scarf look
The scarf look is an absolute highlight for spring/summer 2025, with designers transforming flowing scarves into chic, draped outfits. Seen at brands such as Versace and Bottega Veneta, these lightweight, asymmetric pieces create a flowing, artistic silhouette that perfectly combines comfort and elegance.
2. sportcore
The sportcore trend mixes athletic clothing with chic, fashionable elements. Designers such as Miu Miu and Lacoste have incorporated sporty pieces such as pleated tennis skirts and varsity sweaters into their collections and given them an elegant, tailored twist.
3. swimwear remix
The bikini top is becoming the new statement piece! Seen on the catwalks of Max Mara, Ferrari and Hermès, the bikini top is worn boldly under oversized blazers or shirts. This trend combines the playful sensuality of the beach with structured power dressing elegance to create a bold, sophisticated look.
4. crumpled look
Ironing not your thing? The crumpled look for spring/summer 2025 celebrates natural, rumpled textures in fabrics like linen and cotton, offering a relaxed yet polished style. Designers like Ann Demeulemeester and Rochas have embraced this casual style – low effort but super chic.
5. Love-Lace
The delicate lace trend for spring/summer 2025 showcases the beauty of sheer, delicate fabrics in feminine silhouettes. Designers such as Valentino and Philosophy Di Lorenzo have used lace to create airy, ethereal pieces that perfectly balance elegance and boldness. This trend combines vintage charm with modern design.
6. grandma’s flower pattern
The floral print trend brings with it a vintage touch that is reminiscent of the floral patterns of times gone by – like those in grandma’s closet. Designers such as N°21 and Valentino are reinterpreting these timeless motifs with modern cuts, creating a perfect blend of nostalgia and contemporary fashion.
7. volume and precision
Spring/summer 2025 captures both extremes of volume and precision. The trend ranges from voluminous, dramatic balloon skirts and dresses to figure-hugging, flowing draped fabrics that wrap around the body in a sculptural way. Designers such as Akris and Rohk have implemented these trends.

The peep-toe shoe is making a strong comeback for spring/summer 2025, with designers such as Miu Miu and Tory Burch reinventing this classic style by incorporating sculptural heels and minimalist designs.
9. bag-charming

Key colors
10. pink
Pink is back for spring/summer 2025, but please, we don’t need to repeat the summer of Barbiecore – no one needs a sequel. Instead, style smarter: go for clothes with subtle pink accents or prints that subtly incorporate the color without overloading your outfit.
11. butter yellow
Butter yellow is totally on trend, but let’s get one thing straight – it’s not meant to dazzle you like a bright canary yellow or give you lemonade vibes.
12. mint
Mint, the ultimate refreshing color trend that breathes new life into wardrobes everywhere. Soft yet striking, this delicate shade of green is perfect for adding a pop of color without overpowering the look.
13. orange
Orange is back for spring/summer 2025, especially burnt orange, but bright and pastel shades were also seen on the catwalks. To avoid looking completely like an orange lemonade, pair it with basics or show a little skin.
