TREND WATCH - LADYLIKE TAILORING IS BACK, BUT WHAT ELSE CAN WE EXPECT IN 2025?

Pouring over the fashion pages of your favourite magazine and sifting through social media to get a hint of new season trends can be overwhelming.  From the layering at Bottega Veneta to the all white looks of Tom Ford there is simply so much to love for spring/summer 2025. Whether you personally are a 90’s minimalist or a colourful maximalist at heart, there is a trend out there for everyone. 

LADYLIKE TAILORING

Yes it's back! Maybe a response to the oversized loungewear of COVID but ladylike tailoring is set to make a return in 2025. Waisted blazers and tailored trenches were in  all the designers collections, so a great time to pick up a beautiful Kilt Blazer in Magenta from the new Mause Collection.

LAYER UPON LAYER

More is absolutely more! Think of jumpers or shirts worn over shoulders or tied round waists and skirts worn over trousers - there are many ways to layer up.  Mattieu Blazy layered skirts over trousers and jeans; Miu Miu layered sweaters around models' waists and shoulders. It is a simple styling tool but it works to create a statement. Layer a wrap midi skirt over your wide leg jeans or layer a sweater over the shoulders of your trench for a low effort stylish update.

VOLUME IS EVERYTHING

Structured shapes, wired creations and puffball skirts were a feature of many designers' runway shows for SS25.  Comme des Garçons, Chloé and Emilia Wickstead all showed puffball jackets and skirts. 

TEEN SPIRIT

Whether your muse is: Nirvana or Dior, Tartan or Plaid is here with a bang for 2025.  Many of the designers showed tartans and checks in some form or another from laidback shirts to more formal classic tailored pieces. Wear a Cobain-esque flannel shirt or blazer with jeans and a tank top for a nonchalant easy breezy outfit.  Or throw on the Olivia blazer in Blair tartan with your jeans and a simple white tee.

ALL WHITE

Colour blocking is always a statement outfit, but all white looks were big in the designers collections for 2025. Whether a soft floaty trouser paired with a crisp shirt or a white knit over a dress or skirt, wearing top to toe in white will be a statement look for spring.
