The 5 Biggest Fashion Trends For Summer 2025
You can't go wrong with a print this summer Saks Off 5TH
Sandals, swimwear, dresses—there are certain pieces we want in our closets summer after summer. But with every season there are new twists and trends. That's why we went to Melissa Garrick, SVP, General Merchandising Manager, at Saks Off 5TH, to find out the worthy wardrobe updates.
'While the fisherman aesthetic made waves this spring with striped sweaters, crocheted pieces and knit accessories, this summer's style is taking a more refined and sophisticated turn,' Garrick says. 'Think tailored silhouettes, crisp linen and elevated matching sets, balanced by bold pops of color or print for a playful twist."
Garrick shares the five biggest fashion trends for summer 2025:
Jackie O. was onto this trend long before 2025, and it keeps coming back for good reason—a great pair of sunglasses can take any outfit to the next level. 'Oversized sunnies and aviator styles are having a moment this season as the perfect statement accessory to throw on,' Garrick says. 'We're all reaching for shades the second we head out the door and these instantly elevate any look.' Go for a solid shade—black and white are classics—or have fun with a print.
A linen dress is a summer staple Saks Off 5TH
'Nothing like the feeling of a new summer bag,' Garrick says. 'The go-to trend this season? Texture. Adding this playful detail can make the simplest of outfits feel more dynamic and interesting. While summer is the time to embrace any bold color in your wardrobe, we're seeing warm color hues take center stage in the form of textured bags. Red continues to reign supreme as the ultimate 'It Girl' shade, as well as pink and yellow for a lively pop of color to any look.' Eye-Catching Sandals
No matter if you feel like a flat or go sky-high with a heel, it's all about sandals. 'A bold pair of shoes can really stand out in the summer,' Garrick says. 'From woven detailing to unexpected adornments, this fun footwear trend is here to stay. Whether you're in a dress or a cute pair of shorts, select something that feels unique to you.'

'Dresses and skirts are the bread and butter of summerwear and printed patterns just give us a little more spice,' Garrick says. 'I love anything that adds personality to an outfit.' While prints trend time and again, the aesthetic is always evolving. This season we are once again taking cues from Queen Bey. "Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter has undeniably shaped the cultural zeitgeist, inspiring a wave of Western-influenced trends, from the revival of cowboy boots to a renewed love for cow-print motifs. As we head into summer, polka dots are also emerging as the season's standout pattern, echoing the way butter yellow defined spring. It's the perfect balance between playful and sophisticated." Linen
'I'll never get tired of this quintessential summer staple,' Garrick says. 'It's timeless and versatile—and perfect from day to night in the heat. This summer, linen is taking over some of the season's most prominent silhouettes—from wide-leg trousers to tailored, longer-line shorts. Whether you're headed to brunch with friends or navigating an office commute in the heat, linen gives a breathable and effortless alternative to the silhouettes we are reaching for.'
