London Has Spoken—These Are the 10 Trends That Matter Most for Spring 2025

While it’s difficult to wrap up all of the trends we saw unfold at London Fashion Week for the spring/summer 2025 collections, there was one discernible takeaway from all the shows we saw. For the past few seasons—I’d go as far as to say since shows commenced after a temporary hiatus due to the pandemic a few years ago—the trend cycle has moved slower than I’ve ever seen it do so before. This is no bad thing—the longer a trend remains relevant means anything we invest in to tap into said trend will feel current for longer, too. And while we will never advocate flippantly buying things with the intention of only wearing them for a short space of time, there’s a certain comfort in knowing that the pieces you do acquire will be around for a while. However, I think I speak for all of us when I say we’re ready for new looks and aesthetics to inspire us. And London? Well, it gave us just that and a whole lot to talk about travelling home in our LFW Volvo car at the end of each day.

Spring/summer 2025 is blossoming with life, and I’m very pleased to see it. While the era of elegance is still widely prevalent, I was excited to see some fresh interpretations of it on the London Fashion Week runways. Indeed, there are lots of pretty skirts to be had but, the way designers chose to style them felt renewed and unexpected, with polo shirts and bikini tops offering an alternative to the prim and proper blouses that were widely matched with the item last season. The palette itself was revived also. Sure, there are still neutrals aplenty but, akin to shades of a sky painted by a setting sun, countless brands showcased looks in glorious yellows, oranges, pinks and reds, with some of the most noteworthy pieces coming from 16Arlington.
