Summer 2025 Fashion Trends
Halters
We can’t lie, halter styles might just take the number one spot for us this summer. So versatile, so flattering, and perfect for the warmer weather.
A halter neckline makes every outfit feel more elevated with little to no effort at all. Whether it’s a halter dress, a halter top or a matching set, the V-shape low neck radiates confident, party-girl energy. It draws attention to the shoulders and collar bones and gives even the most casual ‘fits a bit of edge.
Think beach days, festival nights, rooftop drinks — they work for everything. A halter style is the 2025 summer wardrobe staple you’ll be reaching for 24/7.
Embellishments / Beading / Sequins
Summer = party season, and there’s no better time to add a little extra detail to your ‘fits.
From sequin minis to embellished tops, we’re living for anything that shines and sparkles right now. Perfect for nights out, rooftop parties, or any occasion you want your outfit to do the talking.
A shimmery sequin dress will never disappoint, but if you’re after something a little more low-key, beading is the subtle design detail that makes all the difference.
Experiment with different embellishments and find the one that feels most you!
Polka Dots
Say hi to the print that's everywhere this season: polka dots.
From cute bikinis to fun dresses and effortless tops, this classic vintage pattern is making a huge comeback for 2025.
Summer is the perfect season to incorporate more playful styles into your rotation, and polka dots should be first on your list. Use this opportunity to experiment with contrasting colors, like black polka dots with a white background or white polka dots with a blue background - so cute!
Don’t be afraid to mix polka dots with other trending prints either. A polka dot bikini with a stripey beach bag? Perfect, perfect, perfect.
Shirring
Before we share some outfit inspo, what exactly is shirred?
Shirring is a technique where fabric is gathered using elastic or stitching to create a stretchy, textured effect. This subtle detail instantly adds an eye-catching element to your look and not to mention, is super comfy.
Think fitted shirred tops, flowy skirts, and classic shirred mini dresses, but with flattering shirred detailing. We love these styles for summer, no major styling or layering required — they slay on their own!

Aqua feels like an instant mood boost. Think poolside plans and beach days.
Butter yellow brings a soft, dreamy feel to your wardrobe, perfect for summer date nights and brunches.
Orange is the wild card we just can’t get enough — especially for your GNO plans!
Whether you’re going full dopamine dressing or just experimenting with bold colors, this is officially your sign to shop those stand-out shades.
Stripes
Stripes: the versatile print you know and love.
When we say this trend will never go out of style, we mean it. From bold, colorful stripes to timeless, subtle patterns, a striped OOTD will always fit the vibe.
Perfect for casual summer dates, brunches, and any moment you want a cute, easy fit without spending hours getting ready.
From bikinis and breathable beach striped dresses to playful co-ord sets, stripes are the ultimate way to make your outfit feel effortless, fun, and ready for anything.
Zebra Print
Animal prints are a forever favorite, but this season, it’s zebra that's leading the herd.
This bold pattern is the perfect mix of playful vibes and cool-girl energy.
Style it with denim basics or neutrals to let the print pop, or go all out and pair it with bright colors for a look that’s guaranteed to stand out from the crowd.
Statement Pendant Necklaces
The easiest way to level up any outfit? A pendant necklace.
This cool girl accessory is an influencer-fave atm and it’s not going anywhere, any time soon.
They’re the type of accessory that feels minimal but makes the outfit (exactly what you want in your jewelry lineup this summer!).
Dainty but statement-making, a cute pendant will be the finishing touch to all of your summer looks.
Cowl Neck
Cowl necks, aka the it-girl summer staple. Chic and elevated, this neckline drapes effortlessly to create a soft, flattering silhouette.
Whether it’s a cowl neck mini dress or a going out top, a cowl neck style instantly feels feminine and luxe.
Pair it with simple jewelry, your favorite heels, and a bold lip for your next night out.
Careful though, you’ll want one in every color.
