FYI: this is the #1 dress trend of this summer
Just a little ode to the summer dress: you put it on, add a slipper or heel, sunglasses on, and bam, you're dressed, ready and fabulous with one item. And this year? We're doing it just a little differently.
Vintage vibes and the LBD 2.0
Forget the maxis and floral prints, because the dress trends of 2025 are stylish, nostalgic, and cool. Think: a silhouette from the roaring twenties, a color you normally only wear in the winter months, and a vintage vibes print that we've immediately fallen in love with again.
Top 3 most popular dress trends of summer 2025
Let’s dive in, fellow fashion victims, because today I've worked out the three most popular dress trends of summer 2025 together with the trend forecasters from the major fashion cities. Once, twice... I'm going for brown.
Drop-waist Daze
It's back, that lowered waist from the 1920s. And before you think: will that look good on me? Yes. Because this dress does something magical. It makes your legs look longer, your waist smaller, and gives your look that nonchalant elegance that French girls seem to have a patent on. Whether you wear it with ballerinas, boots, or slippers: the silhouette is everything and flatters every figure.
LBD – Little (or long!) Brown Dress
A brown dress feels classy without being stiff. And it combines just as easily as black, but with just a bit more fashion points. Think mocha, caramel, cocoa, or cinnamon, everything looks beautiful with a sun-kissed skin and a gold-colored necklace.
Gingham Good Vibes Only
Gingham (read: checkered pattern) is back from the dead. Made possible by Jennifer Lopez and Sarah Jessica Parker, gingham dresses are a must-have this summer. Perfect for both a lunch date and a heatwave at the office, in other words: infinitely fun to combine. From comfy sneakers with socks to sandals, heels, or loafers: this dress always does well.
