After an exhilarating month filled with runway shows, presentations, and glamorous events, the Spring/Summer Fashion Month concluded with Paris Fashion Week. Many of the style trends that emerged from New York, Milan, and London Fashion Weeks have reaffirmed their significance and are poised to dominate in the upcoming year. Notable trends such as bubble skirts, precise tailoring, and a vibrant shade of butter yellow made strong appearances on the Parisian catwalks. Additionally, this fashion capital introduced new styles that we can anticipate seeing in stores six months down the line.
The spectrum of brands showcased was impressive—from iconic houses like Dior, Chloé, and Louis Vuitton to popular retail names such as Isabel Marant and Ganni. Emerging labels like Vaquera and Undercover also made their mark. Alessandro Michele’s arrival at Valentino brought forth an eccentric maximalist approach for a brand known for its monochromatic themes (remember last year’s bold use of hot pink?). Meanwhile, Peter Do from New York retained his minimalist aesthetic even after relocating his runway shows to Paris through deconstructed suiting designs.
Here’s a look at some standout fashion trends from Paris Fashion Week for Spring/Summer 2025.
The Rise of Grandma Chic
Michele’s debut collection for Valentino generated significant buzz—and he did not disappoint with an extravagant lineup featuring whimsical pieces reminiscent of vintage styles found in your grandmother’s wardrobe. This “more is more” philosophy resonated throughout collections by Saint Laurent—where sharply tailored suits contrasted beautifully against brocade jackets paired with lace skirts—as well as Dries Van Noten’s eclectic mix of jacquard jackets matched with snake-print trousers.
A Nod to Racing Culture
The spirit of sports remains alive post-“Olympics”, influencing many designers at Paris Fashion Week. Vaquera kicked off proceedings with racing-themed tees on day one while Dior showcased evening wear inspired by athletic gear—think track pants paired elegantly with checkered moto jackets—all while artist Sagg Napoli demonstrated archery at the end of the runway! Ganni contributed sporty jersey-like dresses while Loewe presented jumpsuits adorned with “Moto Race” graphics.
Polo Shirts Take Center Stage
This season saw preppy aesthetics make waves on runways—with polo shirts emerging as a key item across various collections. From classic short sleeves featured by Casablanca to rugby-inspired designs seen at Vaquera—the versatility was evident! Lacoste surprised audiences with daring side cut-outs on their polos while Miu Miu embraced early ’00s nostalgia through double-collared styles.
Chic Windbreakers Steal The Show
Cecilie Bahnsen delivered one of the most exciting collaborations this season—a blend between her romantic Scandi aesthetic known for delicate silhouettes and North Face’s practical outdoor wear resulted in stunning windbreakers featuring sheer fabrics combined harmoniously alongside functional elements like adjustable hoods! Zimmermann also impressed us showcasing high-low hemline versions whereas Rabanne opted for cropped striped patterns embellished beautifully!
Pirate-Inspired Trousers Make Waves
This season marked an elegant shift towards boudoir-inspired trousers—an alternative trend gaining traction against traditional hot pants looks! These flowing bottoms resemble pirate slacks or bloomers but extend longer than Bermuda shorts cinched stylishly around calves instead! Chloé championed lace-infused lingerie-like options paired delicately layered tops whilst Louis Vuitton offered cuff-detailed variations styled alongside embellished tunics!
