I’m Betting On These 7 Spring 2025 Trends After Spotting Them at the Men’s Shows

I don’t know about all of you, but I’m excited for the spring 2025 collections to come out. Like, really excited. It’s like this every year, but with summer at its halfway point and the last runway shows feeling so far away (February, who is she?), I’m ready to start thinking about what’s next. There’s only one problem: Fashion month isn’t for another two months. And as much as I wish I were a patient person, I’m not, especially when my inspiration well is all but dried up. I am, however, a problem solver, which is how I ended up scouring every spring 2025 men’s collection in search of clues about what’s to come in September.

Though many of the menswear designers at fashion’s top houses don’t also design the womenswear collections—this is the case at Fendi, Dior, Louis Vuitton, etc.—there is often still a through line between the seasonal aesthetics and silhouettes on both sides of the aisle. Perhaps a color will reign supreme for the brand but be taken down different routes stylistically depending on the designer at the helm, or a certain theme will be present across both men’s and women’s. Because of that, someone like me, who’s desperate for hints at what will be on the spring 2025 womenswear runways in a couple of months, can draw trend-related conclusions from the men’s shows held last month and feel good about her chances of winning big.

With that, scroll through the seven menswear trends that I’m predicting will also show up on the runways come September. Check back in two months, and we’ll assess how I did.

I’ve been contemplating buying a sportier, more practical piece of outerwear ever since The Row debuted its summer 2024 collection, which featured a number of nylon anoraks and zip-ups, styling them in cool, unexpected ways. It wasn’t until the men’s shows for spring 2025, though, that I really began my search for one to add into my wardrobe. At Wales Bonner, a sheer, peach-colored option was styled alongside matching gym shorts and the latest sneakers from the designer’s Adidas collab, while Dries Van Noten’s final collection featured a burgundy alternative that certainly piqued my interest. With celebs such as Dua Lipa and Sienna Miller already donning this trend, I have more than enough reason to believe that it’ll continue its string of dominance come September at the women’s shows.
