Men's Spring-Summer Clothing: Explore the 2025 Trends

The summer of 2023 highlighted must-haves such as overshirts, denim in all its forms, bright and pastel colors, biker style, and bold patterns. In 2024, some elegant trends remained firmly in place (and we weren’t complaining!), while new inspirations debuted. In this article, discover the fashion essentials for spring-summer 2025: the understated elegance of minimalist refinement, key colors ranging from timeless beige to vibrant cobalt, retro patterns with surprising names, and tips for accessorizing your looks with style. Enjoy the read!

1- MINIMALIST REFINEMENT

Minimalist refinement is a fashion trend that opposes ostentation and emphasizes understated elegance. This timeless movement prioritizes quality, authenticity, and durability to create outfits that transcend seasons without losing appeal. This style, currently revolutionizing the luxury world, is characterized by simple and clean cuts, noble materials (leather, linen, cashmere), and neutral colors.

For lovers of elegance, note that caramel and gray are must-haves. Subtle and timeless, the minimalist refinement trend is undoubtedly your ideal ally for conveying calm and confidence in any situation. Is a professional meeting on the agenda? This is a style to embrace!

With this trend where discretion reigns, excessive "logomania," overly extravagant designs, and overloaded layering are out. High-end men's fashion is returning to a more understated and refined elegance.

There’s a lot of beige in sight for 2025! Whether on suede or smooth leather, it’s both soft and soothing. Beige is a safe bet, establishing itself as the season's standout color. From very light shades to warmer variations, it evokes casual elegance, a promise of comfort, and the simplicity of minimalism.

So, don’t hesitate to embrace this color, whose neutrality pairs just as well with the primary colors of chinos and the pastel palette of linen garments, for example.

To vary your outfits inspired by minimalist refinement, opt for shades such as cream white, pale gray, olive green, yellow, blue, and, for the evening, the unbeatable black.

Additionally, you’ll notice several shades of vibrant, pastel, or metallic blue that inject vitality and optimism into your summer looks with discreet luxury. One of the season's trending colors is cobalt, a deep blue with a mysterious charm seen in almost every runway show announcing the trends for 2025.

2- CASUAL WEAR IN BOLD COLORS

Discreet, neutral, and versatile styles aren’t your thing? No problem! For those who want to take risks and stand out this summer, you’ll be happy to know that casual wear is more colorful than ever.

Bright pink, vivid red, flaming orange, luminous yellow, vibrant green… proudly display your favorite colors at the beach, on patios, by the pool, and more!

You’ll also find fluorescent versions of green, orange, and red—perfect for ensuring you never go unnoticed during outdoor outings and activities!

3- NEW COLORS TO ADD TO YOUR SUMMER WARDROBE: KHAKI AND ORANGE

With its authentic and contemporary appeal, khaki is inseparable from men’s fashion for spring-summer 2025. It is versatile and easy to wear and adds character to your outfits, whether for a chic casual or urban look.

Whether you love it or hate it, orange—and its variations—is also making a strong statement this summer. If you haven’t already, it’s time to include it in your 2025 wardrobe! Choose a nice t-shirt, a short-sleeve shirt, or a polo with orange accents, and pair them with the Bermuda shorts of your choice for a fresh and vibrant style on days when the sun is shining brightly!

4- PRINTS THAT EVOKE VACATION VIBES

Looking for a laid-back outfit for a seaside outing or a music festival? Retro-style patterned shirts paired with solid-colored pants or Bermuda shorts are perfect for men who want to stand out without taking themselves too seriously. While shopping, keep an eye out for:

- Bold prints combining images of vegetation and bicycles, for example. They’re sure to attract compliments!

- "Coconut Girl" inspired prints featuring hibiscus, an exotic flower that evokes paradise islands. These are ideal for a barbecue, an afternoon on the beach, or a pool party at a friend’s place.

- The "Jungle Fever" trend celebrates exotic plants and sprawling palm trees. Go ahead, let your inner Tarzan shine!

5- THE SHOES DOMINATING THE SEASON

Need new shoes? Here’s what you should know: for the 2025 season, blue suede shoes with white soles are perfect for making you feel like you’re on vacation!

With a navy blue suit or a sports jacket, brown shoes pair easily with all the colors in your wardrobe.

Dressed-up sneakers continue to be trendy for their versatility and comfort. At Ernest, we applaud the enduring appeal of this style year after year!

Remember that classic shoes and sporty models should be clean and well-maintained to avoid ruining your outfit. Also, choose your socks carefully, especially if you wear shorts, bermudas, or capris.

6- SPORTY CHIC

By embracing the "smart casual" style—or sporty elegance—you’re opting for an effortlessly cool look! A casual blazer pairs well with a polo shirt, chinos, or straight-cut jeans.

Another element of the sporty chic trend is leather jackets with a "racing" or "biker" look. In 2025, dare to try a navy blue model with a high collar. Easy to style, it allows you to create an outfit that will turn heads!

7 - PASTEL SHADES STILL HAVE THEIR PLACE

Symbols of renewal and youth, pastel shades (mauve, yellow, blue, green, etc.), which were very popular in 2024, are still present in 2025. However, they are now more commonly found in essential clothing items like t-shirts, polos, and sweaters rather than suits, blazers, and dress pants.

For an elegant ensemble or to tone down a bolder blazer, pastel pieces are used as accents. Check out our range of basic crew-neck t-shirts or sports shirts for inspiration!

8 - ACCESSORIES ARE EVOLVING

From season to season, accessories undergo a specific evolution in their design and how they are worn. Here’s what you need to know about the must-have fashion accessories in 2025.

Ties

This year, ties are becoming less common. However, they are still worn and carefully selected for special occasions (weddings, proms, funerals, galas, graduations, etc.) or to achieve a specific, intentional look.

Cufflinks

These accessories are making a strong comeback and are being used as genuine jewelry. They are not paired with the double cuffs of tuxedo shirts but rather with classic dress shirts. Good to know: the cuffs of our Anthony of London no-iron shirts are convertible for cufflinks.

Watches

In 2025, luxury watches occasionally replace smartwatches (which many men can’t live without!) to look sharp during outings or simply to avoid unnecessary distractions.

Bracelets

Finally, bracelets complement sporty and chic outfits, showing that your look has been thoughtfully curated down to minor details.
