The Only 5 Trends We Want To Wear This Summer – And Beyond

Summer is always a golden opportunity to ease into a slightly different frame of mind when it comes to getting dressed. Whether you're spending time out-of-office and embracing a holiday alter-go or simply adjusting your wardrobe for hotter temperatures, there's something about balmier weather that encourages a carefree sensibility - and this extends to your clothes.

Grazia's shopping editor, Julia Harvey, has done the hard work for you when it comes to the key trends for summer 2025, cherry-picking her top five. Want to upgrade your office attire but stay summer-appropriate? Try a cargo skirt that's spells urban safari. Planning to update your colour palette for wedding season? Introducing grown-up pastels that will look sleek instead of saccharine. (If neither appeals, what about a preppy boy-meets-girl aesthetic or '70s boho?)

Happy shopping!

Wearable Art

Whether sculptural heels or an abstract print, it’s all about adding interest via unexpected details or colours.

Boy Meets Girl

Preppy, off-duty style remains the linchpin of our weekend wardrobe: consider a stripe, a sweatshirt and a sneaker the holy trinity of this look.

'70s Swing

Our collective penchant for all things bohemian shows no signs of abating: thick-soled, studded shoes and chunky accessories will keep ruffles from feeling too frou-frou.

Grown-Up Pastels

Less saccharine, more sleek, the new pastels nod to the seasonal change but feel grown-up. Accents of black will ground an outfit – consider your wedding guest look sorted.

Urban Safari

Utilitarian separates remain a style staple – think of them as a shortcut to instant elegance. Mix cargo green with sandy tones and a smattering of gold jewellery for a workwear look to see you through summer.
