SPRING SUMMER 2025 CAPSULE WARDROBE AND FASHION TRENDS

In this article is the list of all the clothes, shoes, and bags that are in fashion for summer 2025.

Obviously, you don’t need to buy everything from spring summer 2025 capsule shopping list to build a fashionable summer capsule wardrobe. Though you might do it for the plot.

I put everything that’s in fashion for spring summer 2025 on the checklist just to make sure you could build a better capsule wardrobe for spring summer 2025. You will know what to buy for yourself and include in your capsule closet for spring summer 2025, depending on your style or your mood.

Anyway, whatever your style is, no matter who you are, what you do, where you work, or how old you are, here’s what you need to build a fashionable capsule wardrobe for spring summer 2025.

I see you are raising your eyebrows right now. But please, don’t give me that look. Sure, a capsule wardrobe should consist of staple clothes and shoes that all go together well. But apart from the staples you also need a few pieces that will elevate your spirits in your wardrobe. Pov, we are talking about a wardrobe larger than a capsule here. And more than just the key 2024 summer fashion trends.

But trust me, you need something exciting in your closet for spring summer 2025 something that will lift your mood on the blue days. Because a fashionable wardrobe can do just that – decorate your day, inspire and give you the boost you need to get out of bed and seize the chances.

By the way, I made sure that you can shop while reading. This article won’t close when you click on the item you like. Read, check the window that opened in a new tab, shop and then come back to read the rest. Be sure to browse through the galleries to find a similar product if you click on an item that is slightly over your budget. I made sure to add clothes at different price ranges that are available all over the globe.

And yes the list is long. Like really long. But don’t worry, I’m here to help you. *Fill out this form if you want 1 on 1 help with shopping. And if you wonder about the longitivtiy of the piece you want to buy – you might want to check the In&Out Spreadsheet I sent it to you – that is if you are Brunette from Wall Street Founding member. *Well you can always upgrade your subscription.

Now to the SS25 shopping list. As said, I hyperlinked all the items on the list – not just for you, but for me too. I will be shopping from this list too. In fact, I have already bought a few things – expect to see them soon in the spring outfit edits. The items written in ALL CAPS are staple items that never go out of style and you should have them no matter your lifestyle. Trust me, there will be this one day when you too will need to put on a little black dress or a pantsuit and step into fancy dressy shoes.

Ps. The printable spring summer 2025 shopping checklist with all the fashionable things that I am buying/bought for spring summer 2025 is waiting for you on Brunette from Wall Street Substack

ACCESSORIES

Shop the accessories first to make sure you don’t run out of money before you even pin a sculptural floral brooch on your tweed jacket, put on a bag charm on your new hand candy and shoe accessories on your old sambas and count the shells on your bikini.

GLOVES

Partially thanks to the return of boho, gloves are very fashionable for spring summer 2025. 2025 is the year of fancy day gloves and elbow gloves. I already have a pretty nice collection of elbow gloves and daytime cotton gloves in my wardrobe. Hence, I will put my hands on/in these lace gloves.

TIGHTS AND SOCKS

Forget about the mid-calf socks and loafers on a mini skirt or knee socks and Sambas – this season we wear ruffle socks And white lace tights. When we are not at work and wearing 6DEN sheer tights, of course.

White lace tights and white lace socks are very fashionable for spring summer 2025.

Ps. Check the styling trends to see how to style tights with slingbacks for cold summer 2025. The most stylish combination might shock you.

BELTS AND SCARVES

A silk scarf under your chin or in your hair, and a fashionable belt – this season a thin belt, offer a fun way of elevating your outfit for a casual day. 

They are the perfect accent, especially when emphasized with matching jewellery. Although you might prefer a Chloé logo belt more – logo belts are coming big for AW25/26.

HAIR ACCESSORIES

Yes, just like last year, spring summer 2025 is all about hair accessories. Larger-than-life hair accessories and jersey headbands are still trending (I bought these two), but you might want to shop for a French comb this season.

A French comb is the most fashionable hair accessory for spring summer 2025. But there are a few more hair accessories we will be wearing this year. Be sure to go through the extended report on SS25 hair accessories to find out what other hair accessories are in style for spring summer 2025. *You don’t want to miss chain headwear.

MUST HAVE ACCESSORIES FOR SPRING SUMMER 2025 ON MY SHOPPING LIST

NEW TRENDY BAGS

Welcome spring summer with a new handbag. Preferably with bag charms (bag accessories) – the most wanted accessories of the season are bag charms (bag accessories).

A fringed bag is the most fashionable bag for summer 2025, next to flap shoulder bag on a long strap, of course. Even so, it’s summer and a basket bag is essential – shop for a fashionable embellished bucket bag with seashells or pearls – it’s the prettiest bucket bag yet. Or go for big leather shopping bag that can fit your entire life in. If you need a bag that is spacious enough to fit your entire flat, get a bag with pockets – it is the key bag trends for spring summer 2025, too.

Other bags in fashion for spring summer 2025 are a structured top-handle bag with a framed spherical knobs closure – I will buy this one that will transition well into fall 2025; baguette bag, patent leather bag and small gold minaudières that can maybe hold a lipstick that will be very fashionable for fall 2025.

SUMMER BAGS EVERYONE IS SHOPPING FOR SPRING SUMMER 2025

DESIGNER BAGS YOU NEED IN YOUR CAPSULE CLOSET

If you are shopping for a new designer bag to elevate your capsule wardrobe, get Khaite white leather bag, or Valentino shoulder bag.

JEWELLERY

Jewellery is going maximalist for spring summer 2025 and stacked bracelets, charm necklace and extra large-scale earrings are set to add drama. Or shop for hoops, and fringed earrings that are very fashionable for fall 2025. If you don’twear earrings (I don’t!) buy into the biggest summer 2024 trend – molten metals.

Or my favourite trending jewllery – bangles, and pearl choker necklaces with multiple strands of pearls and ribbon tightly wrapped. POV tiktok is oversaturated with this jewellery trend. You might want to be fashion forward and shop for boho chocker instead. Boho jewllery will be big for AW25/26.

Or be classy and finally get a diamond watch, pearl earrings and pearl necklace.

Still, you might prefer to be seasonal and get a vintage ruby ring, or a lavish wrist cuff bracelet and arm cuff. All in all, bracelets and arm cuffs are the most fashionable jewellery pieces for summer 2025.

By the way, chain necklace layered with a choker are still in fashion for 2025. They are giving indie sleaze, though.

HATS

Spring summer 2025 brought back the sailor hat, structured pillbox hat and turban. But no well-curated spring summer capsule wardrobe is complete without an enormous floppy straw hat (I will buy this one). Still, if you really want to be on trend for SS25 you will want to get a crochet bonnet. POV millennials might prefer a baseball cap for a chic summer look.

HEADWEAR TO ADD TO YOUR CAPSULE WARDROBE

Ps. You can also wear your new silk scarf tied in the back or tied under your chin. Like Grace Kelly would with oversized sunglasses.

SUNGLASSES

While oversized black sunglasses and cool Aviator sunglasses will never go out of style, everyone fashionable is shopping for round sunglasses right now. Round sunglasses and futuristic sunglasses are the most popular sunglasses for spring summer 2025.

SHADES TO INVEST IN 2025 – THE TRENDIEST SUNGLASSES OF THE SEASON

Ps. Check the extended eyewear fashion trend report to find out more about sunglasses in style for 2025. But first, shop for spring-summer capsule wardrobe must haves.

Now that you are all accessorized and up to date with the latest accessory trends – let’s fill your closet with some new season’s clothes and shoes.

TRENDY UNDERWEAR

Well, we might need to shop for fashionable underwear first. High-rise stretch knickers and lace bralettes are back in fashion, and there are so many pretty bras and briefs to shop for spring summer 2025 capsule wardrobe.

As for the colour, go for fashionable berry red lingerie. And no, I won’t write you should buy berry red lingerie to feel sexy and powerful because we all know that is not the thing with lingerie. That is what men think and it is wrong. It was old marketing creeps (mostly men and that poor secretary who had to write it all down) back in the 50s who came up with the idea to sell lingerie as the ultimate power. The results were bad for all the new generations of women. Anyway, we know better now.

STYLISH DRESSES FOR COLD SPRING 2025

Get a jump start on summer with the most fashionable dress of the season – mini 60s style dress – I’m obsessed with this one (I have just bought it actually) or bet on a dress with exaggerted hips. Or turn to another direction for something equally exclusive that gives the same effect, but you can wear it everywhere from brunch to a fancy garden party to work – a ruffle trim dress. But, if you can buy only one dress, get a hoop dress – it is the No. 1 the most fashionable summer dress in 2025. This years is all about crinoline.

*Browse through the widget below to see/shop for the dresses I recently bought for myself.

DRESSES TO WEAR WHEN IT RAINS

If it is enduring favourites you are after, then opt for a fashionable mini lace dress with ruffles, bodycon long knit dress, floor-sweeping polo dress in cool pastel tones, or a knee length dress in jacquard.

THE MOST FASHIONABLE COLD SUMMER DRESSES 2025

Revamp your entire mode with an updated long slim fit shirtdress, which is perfect for work and play in summer), denimshirtdress, square neckline dress, a semi-sheer evening dress – I’m obsessed with this one and will most likely buy it too (it’s the little black dress you buy once and wear forever, pov until your daughter steals it from you). Or try something entirely new – like a long jacquard dress, or even better – the trendiest TikTok dress of the season – heavily beaded dresswith a dropped waist.

Oh, and also the mini dress with bubble. Yes, the mini bubble dress is still in style for spring summer 2025.

*Browse through the widget below to see/shop for the dresses I recently bought for myself.

CHIC DRESSES FOR THE PARTY

No closet is really complete without at least one little black dress hanging up in there.

Ps. If you don’t know what little black dress to buy for summer 2025 – fill out this form. It will help!

Or get a chemise – I bought that dress, too. And if you want to take the guesswork out of guessing, a silver mirrored gownis the one to wear when you don’t have time to put on accessories before you step out of the door.

SUMMER DRESSES FOR HOT SUMMER DAYS

For an updated summer look, get a tulle wrap dress – with layers of organza on the front of dress, or explore cloud-like dress – I’m obsessed with this one. You heard it here first – the silhouette of prefall 2025 is going to be the one that flatters in an elegant way.

Also fashionable for summer 2025 are the corset tulle dress and halterneck dresses. Plus, all the dress styles that are in fashion for spring 2025 – only made of thinner materials.

*Browse through the widget below to see/shop for the dresses I recently bought for myself.

LIGHT SUMMER DRESSES FOR THE CITY

Another summer dress I’m pretty sure you will be happy to wear again is a paisley dress. I bought this dress. Btw Boho dresses are very fashionable for summer 2025.

Browse through the widget below to see/shop for the dresses I recently bought for myself, also.

STYLISH SUMMER DRESSES FOR THE BEACH

Good news if you like a kaftan. Your favourite beach-to-bar dress is back in style with the addition of waist-cinching details like seams, ties and fringes.

SUMMER DRESSES THAT ARE A MUST IN EVERY WELL-CURATED WARDROBE

Every summer wardrobe needs its white dress collection. The little white dress is the warm-weather counterpart to the LBD – crisp, fresh, and eternally chic. The everyday long white cotton dress is your go to for effortless style – and a white summer sun dress it’s the dress that works as hard as you do. Except when you don’t and you need a long white vacation dress that looks as good poolside as it does at dinner.

The right date dress can change your life. Oh yes, this dress is the ring bringer. Better get a cocktail dress for your engagement party, too.

Or maybe you are more fun, and a resort cocktail dress is what you need.

Either way, we all know you will be sitting at the church the next day – for the plot and for this church dress. Surely, a brunch after church is a must. And you need a reliable daytime party dress rotation – a spring Sunday dress and a summer Sunday dress. Saving brunch and meeting your in-laws after lunch? Luckily, afternoon tea is a delightful affair with any company. But a morning dress is a must – get this one.

On the other side, long summer days call for picnics. But you need a picnic dress that is not too precious for the grass yet special enough for all those pictures and reels. This one will do the role perfectly.

For something fancier than sitting on a picnic blanket by the lake, a party in the rose garden sounds marvellous. Match the scenery in this summer garden party dress.

Oh, it’s a birthday you are celebrating? This birthday party dress was sown for moments that require something trulyexceptional.

Of course, some occasions call for true formality, and a black tie gown is a must. Wait, do we hear a waltz? Ball gown it is, then. No, the waltz is coming from the orchestra pit – you are at the opera. And the dress code requires a white tie gown – this one will do the cut.

SPRING SUMMER KNITWEAR

It won’t be long until the next big event, where we can finally re-emerge looking our very best. Let us bring some glamour back! Every once in a while, we need a transformative moment and a one-of-a-kind pieces to steal the spotlight.

Lightweight and versatile knitwear is perfect for this period as we shift towards spring summer.

Choose between roll-neck sweater, a black turtleneck sweater with 3/4 sleeves (I bought this one from Max Mara), a cropped sweater, pretty pink sweater – I will buy this one – it’s the prettiest sweater yet, but you might prefer to shop for a cropped cardigan – it’s the most fashionable knitwear of the season, or perhaps a lace trim cardigan that is my preferred statement cardigan as we look forward to the future. Lace trim cardigan will be very fashionable for fall winter 2025/26. But stylish boyfriend cardigans are perfect for those chilly spring mornings, too.

SPRING KNITS AND LATE SUMMER KNITWEAR TO WEAR ON COLD SUMMER MORNINGS AND CHILLY SUMMER NIGHTS

Embrace throwback elegance with a halterneck knit top that is perfect for a casual dinner date or a night out, too.

Pov, something knitted is essential for spring summer 2025.

SUMMER KNITS TO ADD TO YOUR SUMMER CAPSULE WARDROBE IMMEDIATELY

For spring summer 2025 capsule wardrobe, fill your closet with a mock neck sweater, V neck sweater and oversized sweater.

Surely you can find fashionable knitwear that matches your style. I’m adding these knitted pieces.

CO-ORD SETS

Prepare for the season ahead by snapping up key pieces that will mix and match seamlessly with what you already own. Double down on a co-ord set that looks great together or styled solo.

I bought myself this chic tweed skirtsuit as it will transition well into fall. And I plan to buy this butter pantsuit next. It’scute.

SUITS

Tailored garments are no longer as oversized as in the past, but slightly slimmer. I am not saying it is time to retire your favourite relaxed oversized suit – oversized suit is still in fashion. In fact, a white oversized suit will look refreshing during the heatwave.

But update your capsule summer wardrobe with a skinny pantsuit and knee-length skirt suit that will transition into fall 2025 effortlessly.

JACKETS AND OUTWEAR

Thinking about how to stay warm as the weather stays cold? Spring summer layering is all about layering up without sacrificing style.

Try a fringed suede jacket or a soft-smooth oversized leather jacket, or fall for the irresistible charm of this season’s most fashionable jacket – parka. I bought it too. But I am already eyeing a jacket that will transition into fall 2025 as some of the most fashionable jackets of the season – more below.

A TRENCH COAT IS A MUST ADD TO YOUR CAPSULE WARDROBE

If you can buy only one thing – get a classic trench coat. Knee length trench coats are in fashion for spring 2025. I have this one from Burberry (pov could be shorter) that comes with a removable hood.

THE MOST FASHIONABLE SPRING JACKETS

An instant pick-me-up, a beautiful jacket is the one item that really pulls an outfit together. I plan to buy this 60s style tweed jacket and this stunning cropped tweed jacket from Sandro to wear with a matching skirt and this trendy oversized cropped bomber for more casual spring ensembles.

I already have a Barbour quilted jacket, but I also need a utility vest and windbreaker for rainy summer days in the Alps.

Ps. Get a stylish windbreaker to do away with dull rainy day styles that don’t excite.

On the other hand, a trench coat will never lead you astray. A trench coat is a wardrobe staple worthy of investing in.

I have this chic taffeta trench coat. You might want the same taffeta trench coat, and a flippy riding jacket too, to keep the look modern.

SUMMER JACKETS TO WEAR OVER A CROP TOP

For not so warm summer nights, I will get a fringed denim jacket. I’m obsessed with this fringed denim jacket and this white tweed jacket that goes seamlessly well on my new skirt. You might also want a safari jacket (I have this one)and jacket with padded strong shoulders that are still in.

BLAZERS

As you manage a full day’s schedule, you will need some stylish blazers that are equally hard-working.

I already have an oversized double-breasted blazer – in navy; and a fashionable double breasted blazer (with mismatched buttons.

For spring summer 2025, I plan to buy a new 80s style double breasted men’s style blazer. You might also want to get a long fitted blazer, a collarless blazer and black grain de poudre blazer with the best price per value ratio. You will wear it forever!

BLAZERS THAT SHOULDN’T MISS IN YOUR CAPSULE WARDROBE

Btw, I buy my blazers mainly from Sandro and Pinko. Why there? Because I like what I buy. Pinko and Sandro Paris make the most fashionable and quality blazers at this price point. Their blazers don’t wrinkle, don’t look outworn the moment you take them out of the box. Plus, they are easy to style all season long. Their price per value is right for me.

SKIRTS

Spring summer 2025 brings infinite possibilities for what lies ahead. Get excited for longer lengths and new skirt trends.

Get bubble mini skirt, long pencil skirt, maxi minimalist column skirt, cascade maxi skirt, sheer skirt, and tiered skirt. Or a mini tweed skirt midi pleated skirt and full tulle skirt that never loses its lustre and the No.1 most fashionable skirt of the season – straight mini skirt.

SOME OF THE TRENDY SKIRTS I’VE ALREADY BOUGHT AND FASHIONABLE SKIRTS I STILL HAVE TO BUY FOR SS25

Worry not; if you are not into the mini and maxi lengths, you can shop for a flared hem skirt and 70s style midi denim skirt instead. I will buy this midi denim skirt. On the other hand, the flared hem skirt is the biggest prefall 2025 skirt trend you can follow in summer 2025. Ps. It will transition into winter 2025/26, also. And there are many colors to choose from.

Live life to the fullest with vibrant splashes of colour. Berry red midi flared skirt exudes a fiery passion, while a midi skirt in pink will colour your mood in anticipation of spring 2025.

SHORTS

Shorts are a must-have item for any fashion-forward girlie. Not only are they practical for the warmer weather, but they also come in a wide range of styles that can fit any occasion. Whether you’re looking for a casual, laid-back look or something a bit more dressed up, there’s a pair of shorts that will fit the bill.

This season, expect to see a variety of super short shorts, bloomers and capri shorts everywhere. But also men’s boxer shorts (still) and super short shorts (I love these) styles from high-waisted to denim, to short tailored shorts (these are my favourite, and I also like these tailored linen shorts but I wear these when I need to dress more business smart), and sweat shorts everywhere.

Whatever your personal style may be, there’s a pair of shorts out there that will fit it perfectly. And for when the weather doesn’t quite agree, get tweed shorts – I have them in every colour, and trust me, they are the most wearable piece in my capsule closet.

SHOP FOR THE SHORTS I HAVE IN MY CAPSULE CLOSET AND THOSE THAT I WILL BUY THIS SEASON

PANTS

If you prefer long pants over skirts and shorts, shop for wide trousers – I will buy these Max Mara linen high waisted pants, capris – I will buy these tailored capri trousers (the most fashionable pants of the season), silk cargo pants, track pants, trousers with an elongated crutch and statement formal trousers.

Finally, recycled black leather pants – must have pants in every well-curated closet; and slim fit pants if you wish to be fashion forward. I will buy these Max Mara powder blue carrot pants And black skinny wool pants that are as comfortable as leggings but can be worn as pants for work and formal events. I wear these for golf, as well.

Btw, I buy most of my pants at Max Mara. They are simply the best.

THE MOST FASHIONABLE PANTS FOR SPRING SUMMER 2025

JEANS

Jeans are once again the fundamental building blocks of any well curated capsule wardrobe.

Embrace the versatility of denim as you wear it with everything from pretty cardigans and simple shirts to going out tops.

Get a pair of trendy white jeans and raw denim jeans; you will reach for those on a daily. I sure do.

For spring summer 2025 shop for 70s style dark wash jeans, low rise jeans (yes, they are still trending – the same as the barrel jeans). Pov the thing with jeans is that their trend cycle on the street is very slow as it takes time to find the perfect jeans and once you do it’s hard to retire them and buy into a new denim trend – just thing of the skinny jeans). Btw, skinny jeans are now back – and they are updated. Shop for modern skinny jeans I have. Ps. there is a male model featured wearing the linked skinny jeans, but these are the same skinny jeans I have, too – they are unisex, so don’t get confused by the model.

THE MOST FASHIONABLE JEANS FOR SPRING SUMMER 2025

Bring some denim into the summer mix with white denim jeans, or be fashion forward and buy into the biggest AW25/26 denim trend – new season skinny jeans with a wider hem. By the way, I already have these from A.P.C. Paris (but I can’t guarantee they will look like they have a wider hem on you).

And I have these from Sézane, too. Anyway, I will also purchase these wider hem skinny jeans from Diesel. I have more than six skinny jeans from Diesel already (sadly, none with a wider hem yet) and they are all so very comfortable and stretchy.

SUMMER TOPS AND BLOUSES

Optimize your summer wardrobe by investing in items that will never disappoint. Look for signature silhouettes like white T-shirt, silk slip top and classic fabrications like a silk blouse (by the way, I recently bought this shell button-down silk shirt and I just purchased this chic bow-tie silk blouse) for tried and tested styles destined to become mainstays you reach for time and time again.

THE MOST STYLISH SPRING SUMMER TOPS

Keep your spirits high and do away with dullness by opting for a sheer lace high neck top, bandeau top, scoop neck corset, rugby shirt, polo shirt, cropped negligée, mesh bodysuit, cone bra, bralette, and a white tank top.

A BLOUSE IS ESSENTIAL IN ANY CAPSULE CLOSET

We are championing a return to full-on glamour with a standout romantic sheer tiered bell sleeve blouse – we are obsessed with this blouse from Chloé, long-length blouse, shoulder draped blouse, tiered lace blouse, ruffled front-tie blouse, blouse with round shoulders, twist blouse, denim blouse, blouse with ties, and a strapless blouse.

But now it’s not the time to hold back; it’s time to shop for stylish blouses in fashion for summer 2025 with the more is more approach. All in all, this is the party season we have all been waiting for.

By the way, I love this high draped neck blouse, and I already have a similar one, so instead, I will buy this ruffled corded lace blouse that I love so much. POV I need this blouse in every colour.

And if you like my personal style – or just want to dress more feminine chic, you need or get a cowl-neck blouse.

SHIRTS FOR SUMMER CAPSULE WARDROBE

While a classic white poplin Oxford shirt is every corporate girlie’s staple, you might want to refresh your wardrobe with a shirt in oversized cut and vertically placed ruffles.

Explore also sheer shirts, and longer-length shirts and multifunctional styles that can double as dresses and beach cover-ups.

Ps. If you are looking for the best quality shirts that won’t break your bank, look here. Quality garanteed!

SUMMER TOPS TO ADD TO YOUR CAPSULE WARDROBE IMMEDIATELY

Refresh your wardrobe with trendy tops and tees for summer 2025. I will refresh my wardrobe with tube top and slip tops. A slip top with lace trim is my favourite of the must have tops for summer 2025.

IF YOU NEED 2 T-SHIRTS IN YOUR CAPSULE WARDROBE – BUY THESE T-SHIRTS ONLINE

We are not holding back in 2025 – not even when it comes to a simple white T-shirt. While a quiet luxury T-shirt will be in your closet forever and will be your building block for your chicest summer outfits (pov no matter your personal style), an oversized T-shirt, graphic t-shirt, or henley t-shirt will make you look fashionable effortlessly.

THE MOST FASHIONABLE 2025 SUMMER TOPS

Think ahead to that golden tan when considering your summer wardrobe. A sheer lace high neck top, bandeau top, scoop neck corset, rugby shirt, polo shirt, cropped negligée, mesh bodysuit, cone bra, bralette, and a white tank top show up bronzed skin in high contrast. We are ready for that imminent getaway. Well, perhaps not. We still need to purchase swimwear.

SWIMWEAR

We are all dying to feel the warmth of the sun and sea when we are sitting by the pool at the spa (but at least we feel fabulous in crochet bikinis). If you are already planning your well-deserved summer break, make sure you don’t forget to take fashionable swimwear with you.

Pack a trendy one shoulder swimwear (one shoulder swimsuit, one shoulder bikini top with no bra cup), or ruched swimwear that doubles up as a bodysuit for the city. Or even better, satin swimwear that is perfect for the club.

If you are reminiscing about halcyon days of vintage glamour, try fashionable retro swimwear (ruffled swimwear, bandeau swimwear, twist bust swimwear, swimwear in botanics print) this summer.

Or perhaps swimwear embellished with shells. You will love those details that add a fashion forward element to a typical beach look.

There is something irresistibly chic about wearing satin on the beach, too. Everyone stylish will wear fringed swimwear this summer.

On the other hand, fashionable swimwear with appliqués is the perfect bridge as we transition from lounging on the sand to lunch in the shade.

LOUNGEWEAR

For those lazy days at home or in a camp, a hoodie or a sweatshirt paired with pyjama shorts seems occasion-appropriate. But nothing looks chicer than a Max Mara belted jumpsuit. I’m obsessed!

SUMMER SHOES AND SANDALS

Step into summer in the most fashionable shoes of the season. I hope you are not afraid of heights because 2025 brought back heeled loafers, ultra-feminine shoes inspired by Cinderella’s glass slipper, T-bar pumps the 70s style sandals, and high heel woven straps sandals.

Worry not; the Little shoe – 60s style pumps are more fashionable on the list of spring summer 2025 shoe trends trending for spring summer 2025. And once you see the 60s style pumps I recently bought, you will immediately forget about other shoe trends.

Btw kitten heel pumps are very fashionable, too. Indeed, kitten heels are very fashionable for spring summer 2025 Still!But they double up when they come with a mini peep toe. GenZ favourite! Btw, we love any shoes once they are accessories with some shoe charms.

But if we could buy only one pair of shoes, we would buy these lace up ballet flats. OK, sneaker-ballet flats, these boat shoes, boxer boots and minimal lace-up Oxford shoes for women are giving, too.

THE MOST FASHIONABLE SANDALS FOR SUMMER 2025

With temperatures rising, we can’t wait to step into sandals. The 70s style sandals, buckle slides, and high heel woven straps sandals are the most fashionable sandals for summer 2025. But fisherman sandals might come high on your shopping shoe list, too. They are some of the most wanted summer shoes for 2025.

Flipflops are fashionable again, also. Shop for flipflops or slides with luge sole – they will be perfect for the poolside.

For the beach front and beyond, get toe ring sandals, cord thong sandals, jellies – PVC flat sandals, wedge slides, or slip-on espadrilles.

SUMMER SHOES FOR WORK

Since sandals are not business formal, I bet, you will want to seize the chance and wear your heeled loafers to work this summer. They are back in fashion! Just like round pumps.

Oh yes, round pumps are fashionable again. POV, they are coming back in fashion for AW25/26. But you will get obsessed with Mary Jane with pointed toes. They go great on your new wide-leg pants. Surely, I will walk around in these Mary Jane with multiple thin straps on a rainy summer day. Pov, having at least one pair of summer-rain shoes is somehow a must. But I love wearing head to toe black in summer – in every weather.

For heatwave, invest in my favourite designer flat mules – they are trending as well.

For something more casual but equally fashionable, get minimal lace-up Oxford shoes to wear with skinny jeans.

SUMMER DESIGNER SHOES TO BUY FOR SUMMER 2025

Designer shoes everyone is buying for summer 2025: Gucci Gignorina slingbacks, Valentino 60s style pumps, The Row flipflops, Loeffler Randall lace up ballet flats – they are the prettiest ballet flats yet.

SNEAKERS

If you prefer investing in sneakers, shop for slip on Vans (PR is doing their best to make them the most fashionable sneakers of the season – IMAO, they are an L), pink suede sneakers, high-top (boxing) sneakers, plump sneakers, Isabel Marant wedge sneakers, Asics Gel-Kayano 14 sneakers (I bought them in white some time ago, but you might want to be more fashion forward than me and get them in grey), Puma Palermo Vintage sneakers, a pair of chic white Veja campo sneakers (I have these), New Balance 574 (I have these– and are the softest sneakers yet), or Taylor Chuck All Stars (I have them in pink, of course) – these three sneakers never go out of fashion. And some On sneakers, of course.
