The 7 Shirt Trends Defining 2025, According To An Editor

Seasonal wardrobe transitions bring their own challenges, but you can always rely on the latest shirt trends to serve you through these atmospheric shifts. Shirting has not only become an effortless way to elevate your look—we all know the power that ‘jeans and a nice top’ holds—but it’s also now a statement piece in its own right.

Of course, we can attribute Prada for revitalising this silhouette’s public reputation, with the Italian heritage brand delivering a new iteration of the classic structured poplin shirt each season. Be it embroidered with contrasting jewels or finished with rhinestone flourishes, the luxuriate’s tops are no longer taking a back seat when it comes to styling with its satin skits or sharp micro shorts—and other designers have caught on.

Phoebe Philo’s debut collection under her eponymous label ensured shirting had the spotlight, crafting tuxedo-style shirts with elongated cuffs and an exaggerated collar that could tie up around your neck. These came in Italian cotton and sumptuous silk, alongside leather jackets that doubled as button-downs and liquid high-neck tops.

On the high street and in the wardrobe of the street style set, these fluid shapes and new forms of tailoring have followed suit. Leading shirt trends have been appointed as the focal point of an outfit for some of the most stylish women.

Of course, with so many shirt styles available, from Mango’s textured draped blouses to Ganni’s peplum and puff-sleeve tie-ups, it can be hard to know what to invest in, especially if you’ve never gravitated toward this garment.
