Let’s talk about what’s ahead for spring/summer tailoring—because if there’s one thing I know for sure, it’s that style never sleeps, and neither do I when it comes to keeping your wardrobe effortlessly sharp and ahead of the curve.
This season, it’s all about relaxed elegance. My clients are craving that sweet spot between looking impeccably tailored and feeling totally at ease. So, expect a shift—less formality, more fluidity. Here’s what I’m backing for 2025.
My Go-To Fabrics: Seersucker, Cotton, Linen Blends & Mesh
Let’s start with the foundations—fabric.
This season I’m loving:
- Seersucker: Lightweight, breathable and full of character. I’m using it in rich tones like olive and navy for a more elevated feel.
- Cottons: A timeless classic. Soft, sharp, and perfect for everything from blazers to overshirts.
- Linen-Cotton Blends: You get the breathability of linen, without looking like you’ve been stuffed into your suitcase. It’s my secret weapon for summer tailoring that stays looking fresh.
- Mesh: Not football shirt mesh—I mean subtle, technical panels and linings that allow airflow without compromising on style. It’s perfect for travel and long days when you still want to look sharp, not shiny.
Soft Structure is Everything
We’re waving goodbye to overly padded shoulders and stiff silhouettes. Tailoring this season is soft, unstructured, and made to move. Think jackets that feel like a second skin but still cut a razor-sharp silhouette.
Colour Confidence
We’re seeing a rise in relaxed colour—still refined, but with a fresh twist. Expect tones like sage green, dusty pink, ocean blues, and soft terracotta. These aren’t loud statements—they’re quiet confidence layered beautifully in tonal combinations.
Smart-Casual Hybrids Are the New Power Suit
My clients want to look like they’ve made an effort—without looking like they’ve tried. The answer? Hybrid dressing. A quarter zip under a lightweight blazer, tailored drawstring trousers, or a softly structured overshirt. It’s smart, clean, and effortlessly stylish.
The Unstructured Blazer Is Non-Negotiable
If there’s one piece I recommend to everyone this season—it’s the unstructured blazer. It’s the wardrobe chameleon: throw it on over a T-shirt for meetings or dress it up with a shirt for dinner. Lightweight, packable, and endlessly versatile.
Made-to-Travel Tailoring
Summer is busy. Between city meetings, events, and weekend escapes, you need pieces that travel well and still look razor-sharp. Crease-resistant blends, breathable linings, and tailoring that moves with you. This is fashion that works hard—so you don’t have to.
The Bottom Line?
Spring/summer 2025 tailoring is about dressing well without the effort showing. It’s breathable, versatile, and perfectly balanced between form and function. Whether you’re after a full seasonal wardrobe refresh or a few smart additions, I’ll make sure it’s done beautifully—and makes your life easier in the process.
