The Hottest Summer 2025 Fashion Trends for Women
The official start of summer doesn't arrive until June 20, but with the sun out and temperatures rising, we might as well accept that the summertime season is already upon us. There's so much to love about summer, from the long, hot days to the opportunity for sunkissed vacations and, of course, the glorious fashion.
We're already enchanted with this year's boldest style trends. If you want to know what's in, just keep on reading to discover the biggest looks and how to style them in 2025.
Long Jorts
Teeny-tiny jean shorts and Daisy Dukes had been the denim shorts trend for women for decades, so we love to see longer jorts finally having their time in the sun. From above-the-knee Bermuda shorts to ones that hang wall past the knee, these shorts create a completely different silhouette, making a statement without the need to show off as much skin. Whether you prefer a more body-hugging outline or a baggy streetwear style, longer jorts can complement any casual summer ensemble.

Fishy Prints and Patterns
Nautical themes have been a summertime mainstay for a while now, but in 2025, we're seeing a fresh spin on the style with the appearance of playlist fish prints and patterns. This includes tees and sweaters with bold graphic fish prints, button-ups wearing colorful fishy patterns and even tiny fish as charms and embellishments on jewelry and accessories. It's a cute spin on sailor-inspired looks that's surprisingly wearable and versatile.

Festive Stripes
We don't think stripes will ever truly go out of style, but this summer, the trend is more fun and festive, featuring vibrant contrasting colors in bold combinations that make you stand out rather than blend in. Why wear basic black and white stripes when you can make a statement instead? We're particular drawn to unusual color combinations that evoke celebration and feel like a party.

Breezy Rompers
We love the freedom and airiness of rompers for summer—the more playful, the better. They're all about combining function, comfort and style, with a lightness that makes them extra convenient for warm weather days, and while more subdued, single-color styles have dominated in the past, we think more boisterous and eye-catching patterns are going to be everywhere this summer. The brighter, the better.

Pastel Sneakers
Pastel colors and comfy yet functional sneakers are a match made in heaven in 2025, and lucky for all of us, our favorite shoe companies are giving us plenty of options this summer. From sky blues and bubblegum pinks to lilac, mint and butter yellow, pastels are taking over and bringing a light and delicate touch to both errand-running and active days. Even if you're not typically one who gravitates toward these gentle hues, you might be surprised by how cute they can be.

Scarf Tops
This summer is going to be extra hot, and scarf tops happen to be some of the lightest, airiest and most versatile pieces out there—on top of looking super chic. The look is super customizable, not only in your selection of scarf, but also in how you tie it. Online tutorials will teach you dozens of ways to wear a scarf as a shirt, so technically, the same garment can be shaped into many striking looks to wear all summer long.

Tropical Chic
There's something irresistible about tropical and island-inspired prints, typically featuring flowers, foliage and incredible animals you can only find where it's warm and damp. We've already been spotting them all over this season, and they're great not just for swimsuits and sundresses for vacation lounging, but also for everyday tops and accessories. That way, you can evoke the spirit of a trip abroad, even when you're stuck at home or the office.

Head-to-Toe White
White truly is the perfect summer color. Not only does it keep you cool when the sun is blazing, but it looks clean and sophisticated in any context. This summer, you'll look even sweeter wearing the color from head to toe. From your outfit to your shoes, headwear and accessories, an all-white look is always iconic and captivating. It turns out you don't actually need color to turn heads.
