As we step into Spring/Summer 2025, our Instagram feeds and magazine pages are filled with suggestions, trends, and themes, which, while exciting, can be overwhelming. My approach is always about working for your body, your style, and your budget—translating trends into timeless additions that truly work for you.
Here are three key trends to watch out for and how to incorporate them into your wardrobe…
1. Sculptural Silhouettes & Fluid Tailoring:
Designers featuring this trend: Stella McCartney, Balmain, and The Row
This season has a focus on structured yet fluid tailoring; strong shoulders, cinched waists, and draped fabrics that create elegant movement.
How to Make It Work for Your Shape:
- If you have a petite frame, go for cropped blazers and high-waisted tailored trousers to elongate your silhouette.
- If you're curvier, a belted blazer or draped dress will define your waist while maintaining balance.
- If you have an athletic build, experiment with strong shouldered blazers to add structure and shape.

2. Sheer Layers & Soft Transparency:
Designers leading this trend: Dior, Chloe & Valentino
Sheer fabrics made a big impact for this Spring Summer. Invest in blouses or dresses with a mix of sheer and opaque paneling, rather than a full sheer fabric, for an elegant, yet wearable, approach.
How to Make It Work for Your Shape:
- If you’re full-busted, choose pieces with less detailing around the neckline to avoid unnecessary bulk.
- If you’re smaller on top, opt for sheer layers bringing focus to the top and opt for structured bottoms to balance your proportions. Sheer layers work exceptionally well on smaller busts.
-
If you have a straight shape cinch a sheer blouse with a belt to create definition at the waist.

3. Modern Feminine Utility:
Designers featuring this trend: Isabel Marant, and Fendi
Cargo pants, oversized pockets, and belted jumpsuits are blending function with fashion, making this trend as practical as it is stylish.
Stick to high-quality fabrics like linen or soft cotton blends in earthy tones like sand, olive, and muted pastels. A well-fitted utility jumpsuit or belted cargo trousers can work hard in your wardrobe and work for multiple occasions, with clever shoe and accessory choices.
How to Make It Work for Your Shape:
- If you’re hourglass-shaped, choose utility styles that cinch at the waist to enhance your curves. A mores structured fabric is beneficial here too.
- If you’re tall, go for wide-leg utility pants and relaxed-fit jumpsuits.
-
If you have a smaller frame, opt for cropped utility jackets or tailored cargo pants to avoid excess fabric.
