Below, a definitive guide to shopping the resort 2025 fashion trends—dressing for the in-between season has never looked chicer–or been more fun!
Seeing Spots
In a sea of black, white, grey, and camel, one wouldn’t think leopard-print would find its place. But here we are and for resort 2025, the spotty style is just another neutral. Spotted (literally!) at Bottega Veneta, Valentino, Versace, and Sportmax, you can embrace the cat’s meow now with printed midiskirts, tailored trench coats, chic cardigans, and even mini dresses. In our opinion, such prized pieces belong right next to your go-to wardrobe essentials for easy, yet impactful everyday dressing.
The Boho Breeze Is Still Strong
The boho revival that defined our fall wardrobes remains current for late-winter slash early-spring. And the brand at the helm? Well, that’s still Chemena Kamali’s Chloé, of course. Several other luxury labels have since caught onto the trend as well, from Alexander McQueen and Sea to Isabel Marant. À la eternal boho muse, Sienna Miller, take on the relaxed, yet refined mood by way of a billowy blouse. Our favorites include those from Chloé, Dôen, Mango, and La Ligne. Bonus points if you add in a piece of flared denim or pair of Western-inspired boots.
Totally Twisted
Each season, we can almost guarantee that a new dress trend will pop up and completely take over our, plus all of our Vogue Shopping readers’, wardrobes. If last fall was dedicated to the notable knit dress, then the end-of-the-year is all about the totally twisted jersey dress, which undoubtedly comes with the holiday party seal-of-approval. A tad neoclassical, these dresses are effortlessly easy to slip into. Channel your inner Greek goddess in sleeveless midis from Victoria Beckham and Staud to more covered styles from Loewe and Pixie Market. All you need to really drive the look home is a strappy, Gladiator-esque heeled sandal, elegant evening clutch, and you can call it a wrap!
Go Mod
After months of ladylike dressing–think modest midiskirts, polished pumps, and collarless blazers–designers are embracing seriously short hemlines that resemble those of the 1960s mod era. Valentino’s newly appointed creative director, Alessandro Michele, is the most likely architect of the leggy look, while Sabato De Sarno at Gucci and Nicolas Di Felice at Courrèges echo the mood. Travel back in time to the nostalgic decade and shop miniskirts and dresses from Mango and Veronica de Piante, plus Valentino’s cropped jacket and a pair of pedal pushers from Staud for a more daytime finish.
Behind the Drapes
Minimalists everywhere will rejoice in knowing that draped blouses are sticking around for yet another season. The billowing outfit topper took center stage at several of our most-hearted resort 2025 collections, from Kallmeyer and Khaite to Maria McManus and Stella McCartney. Honorable mention goes to Bottega Veneta’s plaid pick, of course. Add a sense of elegance (and drama!) to your end-of-year wardrobe with one or more of these draped delights, below.
Burgundy Beauties
Mocha mousse has yet to dethrone burgundy as the color of the season. The wine-inspired hue has been top of mind for seasons now (you can thank Sabato De Sarno at Gucci for that), and remains relevant in several resort 2025 collections, seen at the likes of Ferragamo, Alexander McQueen, and Tove. The standout color has of course made its way to the street style scene during the most recent fashion month. Turn to pieces, like a pair of Mango tailored trousers or Lisa Yang’s funnel-neck sweater, to get in on the top-trending color.
Blue Jean Baby
Denim! It’s the fabric of our lives. As recalled by Vogue Runway’s Laird Borrelli-Persson it was the humble blue jean that ballasted the resort 2025 collections, with options skewing towards a slightly slimmer leg than the flared and wide-leg versions we’ve become accustomed to. Below, choose runway-worthy pairs from Khaite and The Row or more affordable picks from Frame and Levi’s to upgrade your current rotation.
Leather Weather
It’s no secret that texture thrives during this time of year–and luxurious leather made its presence felt in many resort collections. In particular, it was hard to ignore the smattering of sleek leather midiskirts across labels like Tod’s, Balenciaga, Teurn Studios, and Ferragamo. Invest in styles from Fforme or Khaite, or tread lightly into the trend with under-$350 options from H&M and Max Mara—both look as good as their price tag. As modeled, style yours with a lightweight knit and a polished, pointed-toe pump.
Shaggy Knits
Move over festive Fair Isles and cozy cashmere, there’s a new It knit in town! Allow us to introduce you to the super shaggy sweater, which puts the spotlight on dramatic details such as 3D fringe, fuzzy all-over mohair, and chunky hand-woven patterns. Make a statement with your sweater this season with the options, below, from Gabriela Hearst and Ganni to Cos and By Malene Birger.
The Sporty Life
Perhaps it was the summer of the Olympics Games or the recent rise of athleisure that’s put sportswear on the minds of several of our favorite designers, from Matthieu Blazy at Bottega Veneta to the boys at Coperni—either way, sporty elements find a new moment for resort 2025. Infuse a touch of sport to your everyday wardrobe with a pair of waxy track pants and matching zip-up jacket; a puffer vest fit for the elements, or a striped tee reminiscent of the nostalgic rugby polo.
Everyday Embellishment
Why save your most festive pieces for just special occasions? From Gucci and Staud to Christopher Esber and Coperni, the resort 2025 collections are encouraging us to inject a bit of sparkle and shine into our end-of-year rotations. And the It item reigning surpreme? The sequin skirt. Wear yours now as the holiday RSVPs start to roll in and then again in January as the ultimate cure to banish any mid-winter wardrobe blues.
Classics, Cropped
The cropped trench coat is about to be your late-winter slash early-spring outerwear obsession. Just look to The Row or Saint Laurent for inspiration. The latter’s leather version is especially luxurious, coming in a chic caramel color no fashion lover can resist. Otherwise, save your designer dollars and opt for wallet-friendly cropped trenches from Pixie Market and Mango. You know what they say: If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it–just make it cropped!
Bubble Burst
As fashion chroniclers, we’re constantly looking to the past with either admiration, or horror. How did we wear that! The early-aughts often fall into the latter category, but this resort 2025 season has us changing our tune by way of one star staple: the bubble hem. Yes, the ’00s-beloved bubble hemline was embraced not only at The Row and Louis Vuitton, but at Coperni and No.21, too. Sweet and stylish at the same time, try any one of these mature (yes, mature!) must-haves from Simkhai, Aje, Ciao Lucia, or Coperni.
