The 5 Biggest Fashion Trends For Summer 2025
You can't go wrong with a print this summer Saks Off 5TH Sandals, swimwear, dresses—there are certain pieces we want in our closets summer after summer. But with every season there are new twists and trends. That's why we went to Melissa Garrick, SVP, General Merchandising Manager, at Saks Off 5TH, to find out the worthy wardrobe updates. 'While the fisherman aesthetic made waves this spring with striped sweaters, crocheted pieces and knit accessories, this summer's style is taking a more refined and sophisticated turn,' Garrick says. 'Think tailored silhouettes, crisp linen and elevated matching sets, balanced by bold pops of color or print for a playful twist." Garrick shares the five biggest fashion trends for summer 2025: Jackie O. was onto this trend long before 2025, and it keeps coming back for good reason—a great pair of sunglasses can take any outfit to the next level. 'Oversized sunnies and aviator styles are having a moment this season as the perfect statement accessory to throw on,' Garrick says. 'We're all reaching for shades the second we head out the door and these instantly elevate any look.' Go for a solid shade—black and white are classics—or have fun with a print. A linen dress is a summer staple Saks Off 5TH 'Nothing like the feeling of a new summer bag,' Garrick says. 'The go-to trend this season? Texture. Adding this playful detail can make the simplest of outfits feel more dynamic and interesting. While summer is the time to embrace any bold color in your wardrobe, we're seeing warm color hues take center stage in the form of textured bags. Red continues to reign supreme as the ultimate 'It Girl' shade, as well as pink and yellow for a lively pop of color to any look.' Eye-Catching Sandals No matter if you feel like a flat or go sky-high with a heel, it's all about sandals. 'A bold pair of shoes can really stand out in the summer,' Garrick says. 'From woven detailing to unexpected adornments, this fun footwear trend is here to stay. Whether you're in a dress or a cute pair of shorts, select something that feels unique to you.' Complete your look with a textured bag Saks Off 5TH Prints For Days 'Dresses and skirts are the bread and butter of summerwear and printed patterns just give us a little more spice,' Garrick says. 'I love anything that adds personality to an outfit.' While prints trend time and again, the aesthetic is always evolving. This season we are once again taking cues from Queen Bey. "Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter has undeniably shaped the cultural zeitgeist, inspiring a wave of Western-influenced trends, from the revival of cowboy boots to a renewed love for cow-print motifs. As we head into summer, polka dots are also emerging as the season's standout pattern, echoing the way butter yellow defined spring. It's the perfect balance between playful and sophisticated." Linen 'I'll never get tired of this quintessential summer staple,' Garrick says. 'It's timeless and versatile—and perfect from day to night in the heat. This summer, linen is taking over some of the season's most prominent silhouettes—from wide-leg trousers to tailored, longer-line shorts. Whether you're headed to brunch with friends or navigating an office commute in the heat, linen gives a breathable and effortless alternative to the silhouettes we are reaching for.'

I'm a size 14 fashion editor and always struggle with heatwave outfits but these are my flattering pieces from £2.50
TEMPERATURES are rising - as is anxiety over what to wear. Here, deputy fashion editor Abby McHale reveals what is in and what's out for summer 2025. LOOSE TROUSERS Loose trousers are great for warm weather and the high street is full of them. Made from linen or cotton, bag your flowy, elasticated trousers now. Trousers, £20, Tu at Sainsbury's - buy here DRAPE TOPS The drape top is the design of the season - slightly asymmetric in design and made from ruched fabric that sits on one shoulder and the top of your other arm. Top, £19.99, Mango - buy here LONG SHORTS Short shorts are out - this year it's all about length. From bermuda style denims to long line linen pairs, they're ideal for holidays but work well with a shirt, for the office, too. Shorts, £29.99, Zara - buy here FISHERMAN SANDALS Take sandal inspo from fishermen - chunky straps make for sturdy support, give plenty of breathing room and are bang on trend. Sandals, £32.99, New Look - buy here M&S shoppers have found the 'perfect basic summer top' - it's only £8 POPLIN SKIRTS Poplin skirts are light, breezy and so easy to wear for any occasion. They cinch in at the waist before flaring out in an a-line style to your calf. SHIRT DRESS Shirt dresses are everywhere at the moment. It's an easy throw on option and you can opt for a belted version or something more flowy. For fuller busts, size up and add a belt. Dress, £22.99, H&M - buy here LINEN SHIRT A failsafe option for the warm weather, a linen shirt is a wardrobe staple that can be worn buttoned up or open with something underneath as an alternative to a jacket. Shirt, £18, F&F at Tesco - buy here GRAPHIC T-SHIRT Don't be afraid of wearing a graphic slogan t-shirt. You're spoilt for choice on the high street and no you won't look like an oversized child. They are on trend and fun. T-shirt, £15.99, Reserved - buy here OVAL SUNGLASSES From Rihanna to Kendall Jenner hop on board the celebrity accessory trend for oval sunglasses. They will instantly make your outfit look more chic. Sunglasses, £2.50, Primark - buy here WOVEN BUCKET HAT A hybrid of a straw hat and gig-goer's essential, not only will the woven bucket hat keep you cool and UVs off your face and neck, it looks expensive too. Hat, £17.50, M&S - buy here AND WHAT NOT TO WEAR THIS SEASON… DITCH DENIM JACKETS Let go of your fitted denim jacket and opt for something more lightweight - denim is heavy and having it fitted is a no go in the heat. Plus, it's just a bit outdated. Choose lighter materials such as linen and cotton instead. NOT-SO COOL IN A KAFTAN From the seventies to noughties women have long reached for the go-to kaftan cover up when the sun shines, but a more versatile co-ord has replaced this look. Go for a cotton or crochet co-ord set that covers, keeps you cool and you can wear to your local park, abroad or a pub garden. RIP THE LBD The iconic Little Black Dress has run out of steam, well, for summer anyway. This summer the designer brands and high street giants have declared the LWD - that's the Little White Dress - the look of the season. Be it mini lengths or long, sleeveless or not - just make sure it's white. The Row and their £640 version. SEE YOU SLIPS Satin slip skirts are slinky and sexy with heaps of appeal but they're not for summer. Imitation satin (aka polyester) is too hot for rising temperatures and shows sweat. Swap for flattering A-line midis in cotton to stay cool. Crisp white will go with everything.
