SUMMER 2025

One color stealing the spotlight? Butter yellow.
Soft, warm, and surprisingly wearable, it’s showing up on everything from linen button-downs to flowy midi dresses. Unlike neon or lemon, butter yellow is easy on the eyes and flatters a range of skin tones.

Textured Whites
White is everywhere, but not in the stiff button-down way. Think gauze, crinkled cotton, crochet, and open-knit pieces that look like vacation and feel like freedom.

Sheer Layers
Sheer is having a moment, and yes, it’s wearable. Organza overlays, mesh wraps, and layered chiffon tops let you flirt with transparency without baring it all. Think soft intrigue, not exposed everything.

Patterns
Polka dots and stripes are having a bold resurgence, and this time they’ve grown up. Think: oversized dots that feel like modern art and stripes that lean architectural, not nautical. Mix them if you’re bold, ground them with neutrals if you’re not. A dot blouse with denim? Yes. A striped button-down with linen trousers? Always.

Artisan Details
Fringe, hand-dye, visible stitching. Pieces with character and craft. The kind of things that don’t just hang in your closet, they tell a story. Think modern boho grown-up.

Jorts Done Right
Keep it casual: throw them on with a soft tee and simple slides for weekend coffee and wandering the farmers market. Then—swap in heels, add a great belt, and throw on bold earrings for an easy transition to patio dinner with friends. Jorts aren’t just cool again—they’re surprisingly versatile.

Skirts with Swing
Skirts are swirling back with sheer panels, wraps, drop-waists, A-lines, high-waisted midi’s and tiered prairie styles being great choices. Pick the shapes that work for your shape, and wear them with sandals, low-heel booties, or heels.

What Tops Pair Best with Skirts?
Balance is key. Tuck in a crisp button-down or knot it at the waist. Try a fitted tee or ribbed tank with a flowy skirt, or pair a boxy crop top with a high-waisted midi. A lightweight sweater half-tucked works too. And don’t sleep on a structured vest—it’s the unexpected polish your skirt didn’t know it needed.

The Grown-Up Tank
Ribbed cotton, textured knits, square necklines, and wider straps, you can actually wear a supportive bra with! Finally, tank tops with a little authority. They hold their own under a blazer or solo with trousers, jeans, shorts, and skirts.

Sandals with Substance

The coolest sandal trend for summer? Sculptural minimalism meets comfort you can actually live in. Look for sleek fisherman styles, asymmetrical leather straps, and toe-loop flats in matte black, soft metallics, or rich caramel tones.
