Who says black is only for the cooler months ? In 2025, the summer rulebook is being rewritten, black is officially the season’s boldest shade.

Here’s all our editor-approved tips to styling the shade of the season.

Think lightweight fabrics

From breezy linen blazers to flowy dresses, the options are endless. Think oversized black linen shirts, wide-leg trousers, or halterneck midis in this fabric scream resort-chic while staying heat-proof.

Pair with summer accessories

Whether Loewe’s latest Ibiza Raffia tote or the Maxi Saint Laurent Tote bag, your accessories can make or break a look. Bucket hats, strappy sandals, and oval-frame sunnies are all going noir this summer. Bonus trend? Textured black bags like raffia, mesh, or padded leather are dominating street style.

Layering all the way

Perfect for layering over swimwear or styling for sunset drinks, black crochet dresses and separates are hot right now. Look for handcrafted details and asymmetric cuts for a boho-meets-editorial mood.

There’s a myriad of ways to style your wardrobe this season. Overall, Black is timeless, but in 2025, it’s also daring, breezy, and totally summer-approved. Whether you’re poolside in Palm Jumeirah or rooftop dining in Paris, trust that this minimal hue will always have your back.
