The HEWI Spring / Summer 25 Trend Report
Spring / Summer 25 is a tale of two halves. On the one hand, it’s a season of unabashed femininity, swathed in tulle, chiffon and sugary pastel shades.
There was romance in the air, with peep-toe pumps, billowing dresses, lace, bows and ladylike looks that call to mind the poised glamour of the Italian Riviera.
On the other hand, it’s a season defined by strength, from tailoring and a new wave of power dressing, to sporty, utilitarian inspired looks.
Ultimately it’s a season of optimism, as spring should be, from joyful colours to whimsical shapes, playful prints and eye-popping jewellery.

Romantic, delicate and decidedly modern, powder pink is undoubtedly Spring / Summer 25’s prettiest trend. From Miu Miu to Khaite, Akris to Alaïa, this soft shade was all over the runways in the forms of shapely dresses and sleek tailoring, proving that pink can be powerful as well as feminine. Whether you lean in to classic elegance with delicate sandals, silky separates and ballet-core styles, or ground your pink by pairing it with darker shades and sharper silhouettes, this versatile, wearable pastel is a must-have for your new-season wardrobe.



From diaphanous dresses to sheer, silky separates, gossamer-thin tulle to bows and lace; the fashion world is in a whimsical, ethereal mood this spring. Look to the carefree femininity of Chloé, whose broderie anglaise blouses and ruffled tops are the perfect way to embrace the trend – or opt for dreamy, diaphanous dresses from Erdem and Zimmermann, perfect for when the weather warms up. Take note, this season’s romantic looks have a modern edge – so choose bold blooms rather than ditsy florals, and pair floaty gowns with sharp blazers and leather jackets for a contemporary twist on classic spring style.



Gucci’s Jackie 1961, Balenciaga’s Le City, Prada’s Re-Nylon… iconic bags are making a comeback, often with a 2025 edge. Gucci’s 75-year-old Bamboo bag has been stretched into an east-west shape – one of the biggest bag trends of the moment – while the Loewe Puzzle has been reimagined in a relaxed silhouette and softened leather reflecting fashion’s current love affair with slouchy shapes and worn-in finishes. There’s never been a better time to rediscover – or resell – your most iconic bags; or discover our edit of forever favourites to tap into the trend.



From floral headscarves, sunglasses and shift dresses at Gucci to corsets, waist-cinching trench coats and curve-sculpting pencil skirts at Dolce & Gabbana, designers paid homage to the jet-set glamour of the Italian Riviera this season. Echoing fashion’s prevailing mood of soft, yet strong femininity, this look is all about unabashed sensuality but also very wearable. Add a dash of the dolce vita to your look with silk scarves, bold jewels and cat-eye sunglasses that will take you seamlessly through spring and summer, whether you are on holiday or not.



When Miuccia Prada of Miu Miu takes her bow in a tomato-red ensemble, you know that this is going to be one of the season’s must-have shades. The fiery hue was everywhere from Louis Vuitton to Bottega Veneta, across sleek tailoring, eveningwear, statement pieces and eye-popping accessories. The perfect colour for balmy summer nights or bold wedding-guest looks, opt for pillar box dresses and separates for scene-stealing chic, or choose scarlet-hued accessories to add instant energy to neutral ensembles.



This season’s most sought-after jewels are striking and statement-making, from oversized earrings to eye-catching beads and colourful gemstones. In keeping the new season’s mood of soft, yet subversive femininity, pearls are making a comeback, albeit reimagined in bold new styles – think baroque pearls set against geometric-cut gemstones, supersized and irregular shapes, or even in contrasting colours, as seen at Bottega Veneta where they appeared in green strung on a necklace alongside gold beads. While classic pearls and other timeless pieces will never go out of style, bigger, bolder jewellery is the perfect way to elevate day-to-day looks, bringing instant, effortless chic to even the simplest of outfits.



Fashion’s Olympics-inspired love affair with sports continues this season. There were sporty tanks at Dior and Gucci, colour-block track jackets at Miu Miu and balletcore separates at Simone Rocha and Ferragamo. Forget lockdown-style loungewear, the new sporty styles are more sophisticated than slouchy; think satin bomber jackets, sequin-embellished swimsuits, suede judo pants and fluid polo dresses. Tap into the trend by teaming a sleek tank with loose, tailored trousers, or layering a luxe bomber jacket over a silky summer dress.



This season sees a return to power dressing, with suiting all over the spring runways. But in 2025, tailoring has been reimagined into more relaxed silhouettes in keeping with the current mood of ‘soft power’. Think smart suits worn with flats, rather than teetering heels, blazers layered over hoodies, pencil skirts dressed down with denim, and caps and mini bags added to create instant off-duty cool. It’s a look that feels both luxurious and laidback at the same time, making it one of spring’s most wearable trends that will take you effortlessly from work to weekend.



Bohemian-inspired shoes are back this spring. There were clogs at Hermès and Ulla Johnson, fisherman sandals at Zimmermann and Simone Rocha and gladiator styles at Missoni and Isabel Marant. From the simple to the ultra-embellished, all are perfect for adding an earthy, eclectic accent to spring / summer’s whimsical tulle dresses and powdery pastel shades.



No longer just for the festive season, silver steps into the spotlight for Spring / Summer 25. Forget party dressing and eveningwear, this high-shine hue is the new neutral to incorporate into your daytime repertoire. The key is to pair your silver with casual pieces; see Paco Rabanne, Dior and Prada, who all layered intricate silver dresses with clashing sports-luxe outwear, creating a fresh, modern take on metallic dressing.
