Summer Fashion Trends
This summer, familiar favorites made an inevitable return, including flip flops, scarves that drift from women’s necks to their heads and waist, and Pucci dresses that were prominently showcased on social media.
A Lack of Dominant Trends
The summer of 2024 had a distinct aesthetic and atmosphere, with clear contact points for fashion. In contrast, the summer of 2023 was dominated by a specific trend. However, the summer of 2025 was strangely devoid of a single dominant trend, instead featuring a rotating door of microtrends on TikTok.
Microtrends and Celebrity Influence
With the influence of celebrities like Hailey Bieber, certain colors and styles, such as yellow and the "Lemontini" trend, gained popularity. However, no other brand has risen to prominence in a significant way. The focus on flip flops and toes was a notable trend, but it was not a comprehensive or defining trend of the summer.
The Rise of Toe-Centric Fashion
Despite the lack of a clear trend, there was a significant focus on toes, with many people discussing and showcasing their toe style. While some might argue that it’s a "great time to be a toe," it’s clear that the summer of 2025 was a time of experimentation and diversity in fashion, rather than a single defining trend.
