The Spring 2025 Runway Looks That Will Define Cool Style Next Season

If you want to know what the fashion set will be adopting, re-creating, and iterating on in no time, I suggest you start with these nine runway moments. While there are a number of broader trends happening, I'm pinpointing the specific looks from the spring/summer 2025 runways that I think are the ultimate source of cool style this year.
During fashion month, these were the images that blew up group chats and social feeds, and I can state with conviction that these looks will set the tone. You see, we look to the runways each season to determine the overarching trends, but if you really think about it, we can trace the defining elements of each back to a handful of specific looks, whether it was an article of clothing, a novel styling trick, a color combination, or an overall mood.
In six months' time, celebrity stylists will pull these looks for their clients, and they'll feature in the editorial spreads of magazines and across your social media feeds. Whether it's the actual looks or savvy interpretations, these are the specific runway looks that will influence cool style in the new year. Consider this your crash course in spring 2025 fashion.
Saint Laurent Look 2
The Saint Laurent show wasn't just noteworthy because it was the only runway Bella Hadid walked this past fashion month—which was an epic moment in and of itself. The spring collection also introduced a new aesthetic language that we're predicting will prevail in 2025. Saint Laurent backed a single look: corporate power suiting, namely oversize pantsuits finished with menswear ties and layered with leather bomber jackets for an even more retro feel. According to Anthony Vaccarello, we'll all be dressing like Wall Street bankers in the heyday of the '80s, so consider this your sign to hold on to your oversize suiting. Don't ditch those big blazers just yet.
Khaite Look 22
Usually defined by all black and deep, moody tones, Khaite took things in a fresh direction for spring. The collection was all about lightness, and many of the looks included voluminous layers of organza that seemed to float independently around the models. The color palette was also representative of that theme. The designer introduced a shade of barely-there baby pink that will undoubtedly go on to influence color trends for the season and year to come. Cherry red and burgundy, you just met your rival.
Toteme Look 9
Capes, capes, and more capes. That was the main lesson from Toteme, and trust me—we're taking dutiful notes. One look stood out from the rest, and it involved the long sleeves of a knit top sliced up on the sides to create a flowing effect. Paired with satin trousers, minimalistic heels, and sheer socks, this look is simple but impactful and will surely be plastered all over the mood boards of minimalists.
Bottega Veneta Look 21
We've already called out how sporty jackets are a key piece to know for next season, but Bottega Veneta presented the chillest way to style one—with neutral trousers and cool boots for a utilitarian spin.
Ferragamo Look 2
Softness was a huge theme this season across many designers, and Ferragamo's take focused on ballet-inspired silhouettes. Leggings, bodysuits, and wrap tops were all layered in varying color combinations of soft pink, beige, and rusty red, finishing with lace-up heels for an elegant twist on traditional pointe shoes.
Chloé Look 17
After her wildly popular debut collection for Chloé, Creative Director Chemena Kamali followed up with an equally-as-delightful spring collection. The look I think will go on to become recognizable is look 17, which features a high-neck leather bomber jacket atop lacy underpinnings and is finished with a very elegant pillbox cap. Hats are a major fall trend, and Chloé just presented a fresh way to keep wearing them into the spring.
Tory Burch Look 16
The main takeaway from Tory Burch? The abstract flame print that looked almost like zebra stripes. It coated a coat, a skirt, and trousers and felt playful but still sophisticated and Burch-esque. The swimsuit-inspired bodysuits were another standout piece that had insiders talking. I love how the high neckline creates a streamlined shape, and given that sporty elements are infiltrating the runway this season, I expect these bodysuits to be a hot-ticket item from the brand next spring.
Miu Miu Look 58
Miu Miu never fails to present loads of fresh styling ideas and an It item or two, so my eyes were peeled for future viral pieces. The main theme on this runway? Lots of quirky layering and personality-first accessories like useless belts layered over skirts. (Is the mid-2010s Tumblr girl back?) Plus, peep-toe pumps!
Sportmax Look 8
Don't say I didn't warn you, but skinny pants are set to come back in a big way in 2025. I love the fresh way Sportmax designed them with a slim leg that flares out right at the ankle to graze over the top of the shoes. They were styled with a tonal button-down tucked in, and the overall effect was sleek and monochromatic. It makes me feel like I could maybe, just maybe, warm up to the idea of skinny trousers again.
