If you want to know what the fashion set will adopt, recreate, and repeat in no time, I suggest you start with these nine runway moments. While there are a number of broader trends happening, I'm pinpointing the specific looks from the spring/summer 2025 runways that I think are the best source of cool style this year.
During fashion month, these were the images that blew up group chats and social feeds, and I can confidently say that these looks will set the tone. See, we look at each season's runways to determine broad trends, but if you really think about it, we can trace the defining elements of each down to a handful of specific appearance, be it a piece of clothing, a new styling trick, a color combination or a general mood.
Within six months, celebrity stylists will present these looks to their clients and they will appear in magazine editorials and on their social media feeds. Whether the actual looks or clever interpretations, these are the specific runway looks that will influence cool style in the new year. Consider this your crash course in spring 2025 fashion.
Look Saint Laurent 2

Not only was Saint Laurent's show noteworthy because it was the only show Bella Hadid walked in last fashion month, which was an epic moment in and of itself, but the spring collection also introduced a new aesthetic language that we already anticipated. . prevail in 2025. Saint Laurent supported a single look: corporate suits, that is, oversized suits with men's ties and, most often, topped with leather jackets for an even more retro touch. According to Anthony Vaccarello, we'll all be dressing like Wall Street bankers in their '80s heyday, so consider this your sign to keep your oversized suits on (don't ditch those oversized blazers just yet).

Typically defined by deep, all-black hues, Khaite took things in a new direction for spring. The collection was all light, with many of the looks defined by voluminous layers of organza that seemed to float independently around the models and the color palette was also representative of this theme. The designer introduced a barely-there shade of baby pink that will undoubtedly influence color trends for the season and year to come. Cherry red and burgundy, you are just your rival.

Covers, covers and more covers. That was the main takeaway from Toteme, and believe me, we're taking careful notes. One look stood out from the rest and involved the long sleeves of a mesh top cut out on the sides to create a fluid effect. Paired with satin pants, minimalist heels, and sheer tights, this look is simple yet impactful and is sure to be plastered across every minimalist dresser's mood board.

We've already mentioned how sports jackets are a key piece for the upcoming season, but Bottega Veneta presented the most relaxed way to style them, namely with neutral pants and cool boots for a utilitarian touch.

Softness was a big theme this season for many designers and Ferragamo's approach focused on ballet-inspired silhouettes. Leggings, jumpsuits and tops were all layered in various color combinations of soft pink, beige and rusty red, finishing with lace-up heels for an elegant twist on traditional pointe shoes.

After her wildly popular debut collection for Chloé, creative director Chemena Kamali followed up with an equally delightful spring collection. The look I think will become recognizable is look 17, featuring a high-neck leather bomber jacket over lace bases and finished with a very elegant pillbox cap. Hats are a big fall trend, and Chloé just introduced a new way to continue wearing them into spring.

The lesson all the insiders were talking about from Tory Burch? The abstract flame print that almost looked like a zebra. It covered a coat, skirt, and pants and looked fun but still sophisticated and Burch-esque at the same time. The swimming-inspired onesies were another standout piece that got people talking. I love how the high neckline creates a streamlined shape, and with sporty elements infiltrating the runways this season, I expect these jumpsuits to be a popular item from the brand next spring.

Miu Miu never fails to come up with a bunch of new style ideas and an IT item or two, so our eyes were open to viral pieces of the future. The main takeaways from this track? Lots of quirky layers – is the mid-2010s Tumblr girl back? – and accessories that prioritize personality, like useless belts over skirts. Also: peep-toe pumps!

Don't say I didn't warn you, but skinny jeans are set to come back in a big way in 2025. I love the new way Sportmax made them with a slim leg that widens to the ankle to go over shoes. They were styled with a tonal button-down tucked in and the overall effect was sleek and monochromatic. It makes me feel like I could, just maybe, warm up to the idea of skinny pants again.
