Sherry had the privilege of attending some of the most anticipated runway shows during PFW, and saw first-hand what the hottest trends and standout collections will be for Spring/Summer25.

Among the many shows I attended, Valentino was the one I was most eager to see—particularly because it marked the highly anticipated return of Alessandro Michele to Valentino. Michele’s flair for blending whimsicality with opulence truly lived up to the hype. However, no Paris Fashion Week would be complete for me without mentioning Chanel. I’ve always been a true Chanel girl, and their latest collection only deepened my love for their timeless elegance.

The Key Trends for SS25: Ethereal and Bold

What struck Sherry was the consistent theme across multiple shows was the balance between femininity and boldness. Designers embraced sheer fabrics and lingerie-inspired pieces, creating looks that were both daring and delicate. Flowy silhouettes were everywhere, offering a relaxed yet graceful aesthetic, while pastel shades dominated the color palette—think soft pinks, pale yellows, and baby blues. And let’s not forget the feathers, which adorned everything from skirts to tops, adding an extra touch of playful sophistication.

Must-Have Pieces for Spring/Summer 2025

“As a personal stylist, I’m already eyeing several standout pieces for my clients. One of the most coveted looks will undoubtedly be the Loewe cropped leather jacket, a piece that effortlessly combines edginess with sleek design. For those leaning toward power dressing, the YSL burgundy suit and the YSL grey suede bomber jacket are absolute showstoppers. Chanel’s ethereal sheer baby blue halter top paired with a feather skirt will be a must-have for anyone looking to embrace both romance and high fashion.”

The Shopping List for SS25

According to Sherry, if you’re looking to refresh your wardrobe for Spring/Summer 2025, here’s what you’ll be shopping for:

  • Oversized bags and clutches, which made a bold statement on the runway.
  • Flowy dresses and skirts that exude femininity and ease.
  • Well-tailored suiting and outerwear to balance elegance with structure.
  • Sheer pastels, offering a light, airy feel for the warmer months.

The key to these trends is versatility—whether you’re dressing up for an event or opting for a casual yet chic daytime look, these pieces will carry you through the season effortlessly.
