From power dressing to romantic florals, Brown Thomas has unveiled this season’s spring summer trends. Models took to the catwalk at the Merrion Hotel to showcase 2025’s leading looks.

As we’d expect in this Trump 2.0 era, Power Dressing led the charge, thankfully with a sophisticated edge.

Think Victoria Beckham structure and bold confidence. Saint Laurent goes large, sharpening suiting with crisp shirts and sleek ties. The days of quiet luxury are over.

In a welcome distraction from the times, the Bloom Time and Romantic trends take florals to lavish forms - whimsical yet bold with cascading airy prints, dreamy silhouettes and flowing fabrics.

Anaai Kwai wears Zimmermann Macrame Bodice Top (€1500) and Cargo Mini skirt (€750), Ami Hope Jackson wears Dries Van Noten, Jacket Vasti (€1035) and Skirt Santi (€1095), and Abigail Sex wears Ulla Johnson, Mural Dress (€840)

For those seeking sunshine adventure for the season that’s in it, the Wanderlust trend saw Zimmermann pair oversized blouses with utilitarian cargo trousers.

Summer Black redefines warm-weather dressing with a darker palette. Think sophisticated dark romance.

Ami Hope Jackson wears Christopher Esber dress (€1400), Abigail Sex wears Loewe dress (€3800) and Loewe handbag, Anaai Kwai wears Victoria Beckham draped pleat dress (€1150).

Finally, spring summer 25 will embrace Artisanal, as craftsmanship takes centre stage.

Look to Erdem’s embellished tailored jackets and Prada’s leather fringe-finished skirts.
