Fashion trends for SPRING-SUMMER 2025

How to dress fashionably and comfortably in spring and summer 2025? The main trends of the season were presented at the International Fashion Exhibition Central Asia Fashion Spring-2025

However, focusing only on them is only part of a wide and interesting path. Madi Bekdair, an image stylist with an international practice, trainer at the School of Conceptual Stylists and founder of the «Style Session» community of image stylists, believes that before following certain trends, it is advisable to get to know yourself and study your individuality: «Just reading about trends and trying them on is not the best solution. This is a direct route to the «grey masses». Unfortunately, more than 90% of the population do not know their psychotype, their archetype, their body type, their face shape, their own colour of appearance. And a lot depends on it. So the first step is to understand who you are in general? A skilled professional who wants to earn more? A husband and father? A wife and mother? A girl who wants to get married or a man with a creative streak in a creative profession? Or perhaps a respectable civil servant? A certain grain of an image is already built from a basic understanding of such things».

In terms of fashion trends, the focus is on comfort and practicality. People want comfort, everyone needs it 25 hours a day, 8 days a week. But there is no need to chase sports chic and always combine jeans with white trainers and an oversized jacket. This is already becoming more widespread. «For example, the Cruise style fits perfectly with many interiors and situations - a combination of snow-white shades with blue, bright red and gold hardware. It is desirable that these are chain elements, reminiscent of anchor chains. At the same time, the cruise style is not necessarily striped shirts, which many women fear like fire. First of all, it is this colour palette. Such looks suit a lot of people, they are comfortable and create a travel atmosphere, as if they allow us not to overwork and not to burn out. Another important point is that the theme of a cruise holiday is more related to the luxury segment, which means that by choosing such a look you can visually look more expensive, even if the items are bought in the mass market,» - says Madi Bekdair. A famous Kazakh stylist recommends looking into sporty styles, such as safari - one of the leading styles in both men's and women's fashion: «It looks great in urban environments, in the office, especially where there is no dress code. This is the style of colonisers, travellers, so it is ideal for motivating yourself to push your boundaries. You can also consciously show off your sports chic. Take a detail from the sports dress code and combine it with basics from your wardrobe. I recently returned from Milan, where I watched designers confidently send models down the catwalk in evening gowns with bombers, tracksuits, sports jackets and hoodies on top. Eclectic? Of course it is. Does everyone understand? Absolutely not! Interesting? Yes, it is. Unique? Yes, it is. Will it make you stand out from the crowd? Of course it will! Warm, flowing ponchos instead of the ubiquitous down jackets and all kinds of capes are also in. They evoke images of magicians from literature and cinema. This trend has come about because many of us are now fascinated by esotericism, we like to immerse ourselves in energies, cosmic laws, subtle matters...».
