The Key Items That Will Shape Vacation Style in 2025
Although summer has yet to officially begin, vacation season is already in full swing. The Monaco Grand Prix attracted car racing fans to Monaco for the Formula 1 event, while tennis enthusiasts flocked to Paris for the French Open. At the same time, popular destinations such as Ibiza, St. Barts, Italy, and the South of France are welcoming early summer vacationers. Affluent travelers are showcasing impressive wardrobes that are already setting the standard for this summer's vacation style, featuring some of the year's most sought-after luxury items. Among these desirable pieces are The Row’s Dune two-tone flip-flops, Tiffany & Co.’s Elsa Peretti tassel pendant necklace, Savette’s mesh pochette, and a check-print bikini from Burberry, to name just a few. We are also anticipating more insider finds that are sure to make their way into the bags of fashion’s trendsetters. Below, discover the luxury items poised to shape vacation style for the summer of 2025.
This season is impressive for footwear, with some of the strongest sandals and summer flats we've seen in a while, featuring jellies, raffia, and shell embellishments. Chloé shines with several buzzworthy styles, including its kitten-heel jelly sandals available in various colors. Its ruched leather flats with lace-up ankle straps and whimsical shell accents are also trending. The Row’s Dune flip-flops have gone nearly viral, especially in the red-and-black color option. Chanel has introduced new raffia ballerina flats that are perfect for both city and beach getaways.
The Chanel 25 was one of the standout bag launches of 2025, offering playful small pastel bags ideal for holidays, while the larger totes serve as convenient carry-ons for air travel. Vintage Hermès bags, such as the Victoria Bag, are gaining popularity as fashion enthusiasts seek rare and distinctive pieces to add to their collections. Savette’s iconic and highly sought-after Pochette Leather Bag has been revamped in a mashup of leather and mesh, now available in fun hues like coral. Similar new bags from Bottega Veneta come in a lovely mint green and buttercream color scheme.
As spring focused on tasseled necklaces layered over T-shirts or dresses, summer will shift toward incorporating those pieces into vacation outfits, such as layering them over bikinis at the beach. Gucci’s bamboo choker necklace is becoming a desired accessory, appearing in everything from editorial features to beachside attire. Celine’s sunglasses are understated yet striking, while Chanel’s latest eyewear from the Coco Beach collection includes elements reminiscent of jewelry. The Hermès Bolide cosmetic bag stands out for its practicality and style, serving as both a keeper of beauty essentials and a chic clutch.
Summer 2025 will embrace bold prints. Nautical stripes have been creatively reinterpreted, with trompe l’oeil designs at Schiaparelli and innovative silhouettes at Proenza Schouler. Vintage designer prints are making a significant impact, as there's high demand for classic swimsuit patterns like Missoni’s iconic zigzags and Burberry’s check designs. Rather than a return to overt logomania, there's a more subtle “if you know, you know” approach to motifs from leading fashion houses.
