While I've already been anticipating an inevitable rise in the fuss-free linen staples summer always brings, this season there's one trend that's set to eclipse even linen as the go-to fabric for all our effortless warm-weather outfits. It's hard to imagine something that's even more enticing to throw on when the weather is hot and you just can't deal with trying to wear anything too involved, but trust me, fashion people are already putting their linen and cotton pieces on the back burner for this trend, and I guarantee you'll be next.
Easier to wear than crochet but more special than plain linen, eyelet embroidery is the trend that's just right. Summer 2025 is bringing a wave of delicate, airy pieces that are exactly the kind of fuss-free staples we want to throw on during the height of a heat wave but also pretty enough to still make an outfit feel special and thoughtful. Enter these eyelet and broderie anglaise details that are marking one of the season's most wearable—and prettiest—trends. From Matteau's broderie separates and Dôen's airy embroidered white tops to Gap's £80 shorts set, one glance at the market and it's clear: Eyelet has never looked better. Before you shop all the best eyelet embroidery I've curated up ahead, take a look at how fashion people are incorporating the detail into their spring and summer outfits to glean some styling inspiration.
On slightly cooler days, simply layer an eyelet dress underneath your favourite trench coat or lightweight jacket for an easy light layered look.
There's truly nothing more summer-ready than a breezy white dress, and a broderie anglaise style like the Matteau dress pictured above makes for the ideal canvas for a trendy shoe or accessory.
The best thing about this trend? It basically styles itself, so all you need is a great pair of flats and a classic bag to look complete.
I've been lusting after Dôen's beautiful eyelet tops for weeks now, and I know I'm not the only one because every time I open up Instagram I see someone else styling one with everything from denim shorts to Capri pants, cementing just how versatile they are.
Eyelet embroidery is such a summertime staple that it reads much more classic than trendy, so styling it with more current trends like a pair of boat shoes immediately makes it feel so modern.
A pair of strappy sandals + a woven basket tote + an eyelet dress = the summer outfit you can wear for eternity and never look "dated".
