The Sweet Escape: 7 SS25 Fashion Essentials to Flee with Grace (and Zero Stress)
Light, relaxed, and irresistibly chic, these are the looks that follow you on the sweetest escape: the one from everything that weighs you down.
Some run to the sea, others to the mountains. Some from Milan Central, and some from themselves. Summer 2025 speaks clearly: it’s time to slow down. Silhouettes get softer, fabrics more natural, colors dreamier. From catwalks to sidewalks, SS25 fashion tells a new story of living: one made of light suitcases, deep desires, and freedom in extra-large size.
And if you don’t know where to go, start here: 7 essentials for your personal sweet escape. Destination: wherever you please, style: guaranteed.
1. The dress that does it all
Fluid dresses & modern boho
Long, fluid, and laid-back. Neutral or vibrant, plain or printed, just one rule: keep it simple. The new summer dress, seen at Chloé, Zimmermann, and all over the streets of Paris, is your passport to effortless elegance.
A one-piece wonder for the days when you want to think about anything but what to wear.
2. The oversized shirt (preferably white)
White shirt revival, minimal tailoring
Worn as a mini dress, tied at the waist, or tucked into wide-leg pants—the oversized shirt is everywhere, and for good reason. White, voluminous, and lightweight, it’s like a summer version of your comfort blanket. Perfect for chasing sunsets, hopping on last-minute trains, or pulling off a spontaneous seaside dinner. A timeless staple, even when everything else feels uncertain.
3. The (almost) invisible sandals
Barely-there sandals, flat chic
Thin, strappy, and oh-so-comfortable. With a wide sole and minimalist lines, like those by The Row or Jil Sander, SS25 sandals embrace the 'less is more' philosophy.
You barely see them, barely feel them, and that’s exactly why you’ll love them. Perfect for walking far, especially from all those heels that hurt.
4. Wide-leg pants in linen or dry cotton
Soft tailoring, linen suiting, easy elegance
Forget the shorts. For long lunches under a pergola, city strolls, or slow escapes into nature, the new code of elegance is all about wide, straight, mid-rise trousers.
Breathable fabrics, dusty tones like sand, khaki, or chalky white. As light as summer, as graceful as simplicity.
5. The reinvented raffia bag
Woven raffia, sculpted shapes, leather details
Forget the classic beach tote. The new summer it-bags are made of raffia, yes, but sculpted, structured, with leather accents and contemporary silhouettes.
Picture yourself in a southern market, or just in your dream getaway, with a Loewe or Jacquemus on your arm. Artisan feel, cosmopolitan soul.
6. The soft diva sunglasses
Soft cat-eye, sorbet tones, retro-chic vibes
Not too vintage, not too futuristic. SS25 sunglasses flirt with soft lines, sorbet shades, and a laid-back yet never boring attitude.
More “Italian holiday in the ‘60s” than “runway in Miami.” For seeing the world (and yourself) in a brand-new light.
7. The peachy touch on your skin
Peachy hues, sun-kissed glow
It’s not a garment, but it’s the key to everything: that subtle glow that whispers “summer.” Apricot, guava, peach. You’ll find it in a second-skin tank top, a luminous lip balm, or a scarf tied around your neck or hair. Just a hint is enough to make June feel like July, and to believe, even for a moment, that August could last forever.
