As we step into the new season, fashion embraces dynamic contrasts – sheer and structured, bold and soft, utilitarian and romantic. Whichever SS25 trend speaks to your style, wear it with confidence and make it your own.
The Elevated Off-Duty Look: Sportswear meets high fashion with a refined take on athleisure. Think buttery soft fabrics, structured track trousers and sleek zip-up tops in neutral tones. This season, designers are swapping classic leggings for sculpted joggers and oversized blazers, proving that comfort and luxury can coexist. Pair with statement trainers or heeled mules for a polished, effortless vibe. Picture: Acne Studios text-appliqué wide-leg jogging bottoms, £420, from Selfridges.
Ethereal Elegance: Diaphanous fabrics are taking centre stage, with sheer layers creating an air of subtle sensuality. From chiffon blouses to transparent skirts layered over structured separates, this trend plays with opacity for a modern, romantic effect. To keep it wearable, opt for sheer panels or layer sheer dresses over bodysuits and tailored trousers. Pictured, Lovebirds printed sheer silk-organza blouse, £380, from Harvey Nichols.
Powder Pink – The New Neutral: Forget millennial pink – 2025 is all about powder pink, a softer, more sophisticated take on the hue. This muted pastel works as a fresh alternative to beige or cream, lending a romantic yet modern touch. Opt for structured blazers, silky slip dresses, or soft spring knitwear to pair effortlessly with blacks, greys and metallics for a refined look.

Volume Up: Exaggerated shapes dominate the runway, from oversized puff sleeves to cocoon-like coats and ballooned trousers. This sculptural approach to fashion adds drama to everyday dressing. The trick to pulling it off? Balance the volume with fitted pieces—an oversized bomber with a slim midi dress or a dramatic puffed sleeve blouse with tapered trousers.

Bold Blooms & Make It Loud: Florals get a maximalist makeover with oversized prints, vivid colours and abstract designs. This season, it’s all about making a statement, whether through a head-to-toe floral suit or a dramatic printed dress. Keep the look modern by pairing with structured tailoring or grounding the print with solid, neutral accessories. Pictured: Molly floral print satin dress, £130, from Monsoon.
Utility Chic: Cargo pockets, belted waists, and heavy-duty fabrics make their mark with an urban-meets-polished aesthetic. Utility chic is no longer just about function—this season, it’s refined and tailored. A boxy khaki jacket cinched at the waist or cargo trousers teamed with a sleek bodysuit and heels create a perfect blend of practicality and sophistication. Cropped utility shirt jacket, £25, Primark.
Power Dressing Reimagined: The classic suit gets a contemporary refresh with razor-sharp cuts, strong shoulders, and fluid tailoring. Oversized blazers, wide-leg trousers and structured waistcoats ooze confidence, so pair with sleek heels for a bold, modern take on power dressing.
