NYFW Recap SS25

The Spring/Summer 2025 season lacked the girlish charm that was prevalent throughout recents Weeks��instead, designers embraced those cheeky trends (bows, ruffles, micro-shorts, to name a few) in a more grown-up way. Yet, that doesn�t mean the runways were without personality��we saw plenty of fringe and plays on texture, mix-and-matched prints, creative styling with accessories, and a fresh color palette that kept it all exciting.

MACRO-MOVEMENTS

Americana

Whether it be from the lens of prep or sports, Americana influence was a consistent theme across the brands of New York Fashion Week. Of course, Ralph Lauren felt quintessentially Americana with his show hosted in the Hamptons while Proenza Schouler put a modern twist on a classic prep look with asymmetrical cuts. Off-White took a sporty approach with racing stripes, red hot hues, and other sporty styling cues.

Minimalist, But Better

This season, collections felt undeniably minimalistic��designers offered tried-and-true pieces while updating them with their own creative spin: think styled-for-you layering, peek-a-boo layers on classic skirts, taking staple denim to the next level with embellishment or painted detail, and leaning into nostalgia with tailoring that tapped both the �60s and �80s. Rather than whimsical trends like oversized bows and doses of hot pink, this season felt rather grown up.
