For Summer 2025, luxury houses are embracing breezy silhouettes, bold palettes, and a renewed sense of ease. Here’s what to wear when the mercury rises.
MR PORTER
The New Short Suit
Fendi
The tailoring trend gets a warm-weather upgrade with sharply cut suits paired with tailored shorts — a smart solution for city dressing in the heat. Dior Men led the charge with streamlined monochrome sets in tonal greys and dusty blues, while Fendi offered relaxed fits with soft layering in linen and silk blends. The effect? Boardroom polish meets vacation ease.
Coastal Neutrals
Zegna
Earthy tones and off-whites are the new go-to for understated summer luxury. Zegna’s collection was a masterclass in tonal dressing, layering shades of sand, ecru, and bone across fluid tailoring and soft knitwear.
Loro Piana
Loro Piana followed suit with suede slip-ons and linen overshirts in sun-faded hues, ideal for Mediterranean escapes or barefoot dinners by the sea.
Sleeveless Statements
Gucci
This season’s ultimate power move? No sleeves. From Gucci’s sleeveless tailoring to Loewe’s sculptural muscle tees, arms are the new focal point. Best worn with wide-leg trousers or shorts, this trend blends sport and sophistication effortlessly.
Luxe Utility
Prada
Functional fashion gets a luxe rethink. Hermès delivered safari jackets, tech-fabric vests, and multi-pocket trousers in rich tobacco tones, while Brunello Cucinelli added refinement with lightweight cotton cargos and polished leather sandals. Think performance with polish.
High-Gloss Finishes
Giorgio Armani
Shine isn’t just for eveningwear anymore. Bottega Veneta showcased patent-effect outerwear and glossy leather shirts in bold jewel tones, while Givenchy offered a more minimalist take with metallic accents and high-shine accessories.
Elevated Beachwear
Gucci
Gone are the loud logos and garish prints — this summer’s swimwear is refined. Tom Ford brought retro-inspired short shorts in rich colours and silk textures, while Amiri introduced coordinated beach sets with artisanal embroidery and soft, vacation-ready fabrics.
