Linen Who? This Even More Effortless Trend Has Just Arrived.

      While I’ve been expecting the inevitable arrival of the easy linen essentials that summer always offers, this season features a trend that’s poised to surpass linen as the preferred fabric for all our laid-back warm-weather looks. It’s tough to think of anything more appealing to slip into when the temperature rises and you’re reluctant to handle anything too elaborate, but believe me, fashion enthusiasts are already setting aside their linen and cotton garments for this trend, and I’m certain you’ll follow suit.

      Easier to wear than crochet but more distinctive than plain linen, eyelet embroidery is the perfect trend. Summer 2025 is ushering in a selection of delicate, airy items that serve as the ideal fuss-free staples for those hot days, yet are also lovely enough to give an outfit a special and thoughtful touch. Look out for these eyelet and broderie anglaise details that define one of the season's most practical—and beautiful—trends. From Matteau’s broderie separates and Dôen’s light embroidered white tops to J.Crew’s swimwear and Gap’s $55 shorts set, it’s evident from a glance at the market: eyelet has never looked better.

      Before you shop the top eyelet embroidery pieces I’ve compiled ahead, check out how fashion influencers are integrating this detail into their spring and summer ensembles for some styling inspiration. There’s no need to wait for the heat to wear an eyelet dress—layer it under your favorite trench coat or lightweight jacket for a seamless spring-to-summer look.

      Nothing embodies summer better than a floaty white dress, and a broderie anglaise style like the Matteau dress above serves as the perfect backdrop for a trendy shoe or accessory. The best part of this trend? It practically styles itself, so all you need is a great pair of flats and a timeless bag to complete the look. I have been eyeing Dôen’s stunning eyelet tops for weeks leading up to summer, and I know I’m not alone because every time I open Instagram, I spot someone else styling one with everything from denim shorts to Capri pants, highlighting just how versatile they are.

      Eyelet embroidery is such a summer staple that it feels much more classic than trendy, so pairing it with more contemporary styles, like boat shoes, instantly modernizes the look. A combination of strappy sandals, a woven basket tote, and an eyelet dress equals an enduring summer outfit that never appears "dated."
