The summer season is finally upon us, and with it come some exciting new trends. If you haven’t already updated your wardrobe for Spring/Summer 2025 with our guide, don’t worry, it’s not too late. We’ve selected the top six summer fashion trends to invest in now to look stylish all summer-long – and beyond – all available to shop on Oxford Street.
A boho summer
There is simply no denying that boho is THE trend of the season, and we can’t see it disappearing any time soon. The beauty of this trend this time round – it peaked in the 00s thanks to the likes of Sienna Miller, the Olsen twins and Kate Moss – is that you don’t have to go full-on flower child if you don’t want to. For 2025, we are talking more refined separates and floaty silhouettes which can be mixed and matched with more minimalist pieces.
Whether you’re headed to the beach this summer or staying in the city, we guarantee that beach separates will become an essential part of your wardrobe. With this trend, the outfit combinations are endless. Think a scarf top paired with an A-line skirt, a swimsuit paired with wide leg striped linen trousers, a shirt dress which can be worn as is, or over a bikini poolside.

Minimalist style
Fans of 90s minimalism, rejoice! You don’t have to wear head-to-toe pops of colour or saccharine hues this summer to look the part. Instead, invest in some classic wardrobe heroes that will never go out of style, including tank tops, column skirts, shirt dresses and more in timeless shades of black, white and navy.
Polka dots
Forget florals, if you’re backing any print this summer, make it polka dots. Adorning everything from tops to dresses and trousers, they are guaranteed to bring an element of fun to your wardrobe. Right now, we are loving this Reserved skirt, River Island shirt, Reiss dress and shorts from Selfridges.
Elevated flip flops
The news you’ve no doubt been waiting for: flat, comfortable sandals are in right now, meaning no more blisters after wearing heeled sandals all day. In particular, flip flops are making a comeback, under a new guise. This time round, they are much more chic, made of leather and in a minimalist style, taking the back seat in order to better enhance your outfit.
Cord necklaces
As with the boho trend, cord necklaces have become a wardrobe staple over the past couple of seasons and are guaranteed to add a fresh spin to your existing looks. You can pick up some great styles no matter your budget, including this heart necklace from Lovisa, gold-tone pendant from Claire’s, star necklace from Massimo Dutti and agate pendant from Selfridges.
