Men's Spring/Summer 2025 Fashion Trends Straight Off the Runways
Fashion is having fun again. Cartoon prints are back in rotation, short shorts are getting bolder, and neckties are showing up even on days off.
What do you know — it’s time for another style update. From colour and print to silhouette and accessory, take note of the top Spring/Summer 2025 trends you need in your closet — stat.
Child’s Play
Embrace your inner child with playful cartoon and comic prints that instantly brighten even the dullest days. Coperni’s Disney-inspired and Doublet’s anime-themed T-shirts exude a sense of childhood nostalgia, whereas Kenzo reintroduced its signature tiger emblem in a cute twist.
Core Values
Whether it’s your midriff or navel area, an array of brands embraced skin-baring styles with cropped pieces that add a bold yet playful edge to any look. Case in point: Balenciaga and Dsquared2’s street-cool ensembles. The slither of skin at Alexander McQueen and Prada lends the formal looks added interest.
It’s a Tie
Neckties are the accessory du jour this season—even on days off. While the get-ups at Louis Vuitton, Todd Snyder and EgonLab are a masterclass in tailored dressing, Ralph Lauren, Martine Rose and Bianca Saunders’ eye-catching prints gave the classic piece a fresh spin.
Keep It Casual
It’s evident that relaxed tailoring dominated the Spring/Summer 2025 runways. Instead of the classic pantsuit, opt for short suits for a breezy summer take. Hed Mayner and LGN Louis Gabriel Nouchi’s oversized looks are equal parts smart and casual, but look to Issey Miyake’s and Jacquemus’s thigh-grazing styles if you’d like to take it up a notch.
Leg Up
Hemlines are rising along with the temperatures, as short shorts make a bold statement throughout the season. From Ami and Gucci’s tailored takes to form-fitting styles by Ferragamo and Wales Bonner, brands are all about pairing confidence with comfort. Tune things up with boxer-inspired looks à la Rhude and Martine Rose.
Mark my Words
Make a statement—literally—with bold text that took over the Spring/Summer runways. From relatable words such as “Real Sleep” at JW Anderson to “Lonely Hearts” at Jil Sander and “Not a Tourist, I Live Here” at MSGM, to thought-provoking yet witty phrases as seen on MM6 Maison Marginal and Bianca Saunders, these pieces are bound to be your next conversation starters.
Polo Player
This season, the preppy staple gets a stylish update. From striking colours and prints to unexpected fabrics and oversized fits, take your pick from the slew of designs sent down the runways. Highlights include Versace’s groovy retro piece, Gucci and Dolce & Gabbana’s peekaboo knits and John Richmond and Martine Rose’s shoulder-padded iterations.
Shoulder On
Roomy shoulder bags are the ultimate hands-free essential this season. Loewe and Emporio Armani’s slouchy bucket silhouettes radiate that casual ease and Kiko Kostadinov’s metallic design injects a pop of colour to the monochrome outfit, while Zegna’s XXL piece is perfect for all your knick-knacks… and then some.
Think Pink
It’s all about the soft blush tones this Spring/Summer 2025, as pink ruled both the men’s and women’s runways. Dip your toes in the shade with outerwear from Hermès and Rhude, or go full-on with co-ords à la Burberry and Bottega Veneta. No matter the dosage, the hue is here to stay.
What a Waist
Belted coats are taking centre stage as they redefine outerwear with a cinched-in silhouette. The classic trench—whether printed at Kenzo and Marine Serre or kept classic at Moschino and Wales Bonner—featured an emphasised waist, proving that a simple detail can transform a look with casual elegance.
