TUMI Looks to the Future with their 50th Anniversary and Spring Collections

What time is it? It’s summertime! And with it comes bold fashion statements that blend the carefree spirit of the season with polished and structured looks. This year, summer fashion takes a fun and nostalgic turn with fluffy bubble skirts making a comeback, classic tank tops getting an update, plaids stepping out of their Autumn comfort zone, and Barbie’s favorite color reigning supreme in a more muted tone.

Whether you’re updating your wardrobe or looking for standout pieces to beat the heat in style, here are some of the top trends taking over summer 2025 to get you started on your shopping. 

Bubble Skirts

The bubble-hem skirt trend remains strong, calling for more voluminous silhouettes this season. These fluffy midi and maxi skirts are the perfect summer piece for any occasion, whether you’re out doing errands in the city or posing against the sea on tropical shores. 

The warm season calls for lighter palettes that reflect the bright summer skies. Think creams and pastel blues, colors that mimic light clouds or the sky.

The Little White Tank

You can never go wrong with a basic white tee, and the tiny white tank top is like the summer counterpart of it. This should be a staple in every wardrobe this summer. With the heat index surging to ridiculous heights, wearing something light and airy is the best way to go. The great thing about tank tops is that you can dress them up or down, layer them with plaid shirts or jackets, or pair them with your favorite pair of jeans or silk maxi skirt. It's basic but essential, plain but chic. 

Uniqlo's “bra tops” are a great piece to have with their sleek open design and built-in support, comfortable for everyday wear. These tops are also available in a variety of colors as well as in their signature AIRism fabric, which makes them even more ideal for the summer heat. Price starts from P990 with sizes XS to XXL.

Summer Blooms

Florals for Spring? Groundbreaking. But for Summer? You just might be on to something. Florals are getting an upgrade in 2025, featuring more 3D and bold prints that transform this classic motif. 

Find pieces with blooms that feel lifelike, as these will add dimension to your outfit. From stretchy fabrics with floral embroideries to dreamy dresses with floral prints and ruffles, this look is both romantic and contemporary.

Powder Pink Club

If burgundy was the color of the autumn season, we’re now seeing pink being reintroduced as the new playful color of choice for summer. From lovely dresses to power suits, pink is about to take over your closet this season.

This soft and sweet shade is easy on the eyes, but can also stand boldly alongside darker hues like navy and black. This lighter shade of pink traditionally reflects femininity, innocence, and joy, which beautifully captures the spirit of the season. After all, summer is all about catching a break from harsh realities and enjoying a lighter and more carefree time under the sun.

All About Linen

Linens are great all year round, especially in tropical regions like Southeast Asia. They’re particularly popular during the summer time, however, because not only are these fabrics breezy, light, and easy to throw on when it’s too hot to function, they also look chic – no matter their form, top, matching co-ords, or even trousers. 

You can get them in a variety of colors from pastel yellows and moss greens to peaches and blues, but white and khaki-colored linen will always have our top vote.  

Philippine label Traje Linen has these gorgeous Hanami tops and dresses that are cute and sexy at the same time, with their embroidered flower straps and open back. Perfect for a garden wedding or a stroll through the city, this linen-floral combo turns anyone into a summer darling. Sizes are available from XS to XXL, with colors like Army Green, Oat Milk (our fave), and Dark Taupe. Simply DM the brand on Instagram to order.

Take a Peep

There are quite a few fashion trends going around when it comes to footwear, but looking at the pieces worn on the runway from the Spring/Summer collections of well-known designer brands like Prada, ACNE Studios, and Tory Burch, the classic peep-toe shoes are making a comeback this 2025. 

Peep-toe heels are traditionally worn with more business casual fits, but you can push the boundaries this season and pair them with your boyfriend jeans, flirty maxi or mini dresses, and even tailored shorts to curate that perfect summer vibe look. 

Apart from this, heeled sandals and clogs are also on trend!

90s Plaid

Plaid shirt days are back, and no, this news isn’t sad like that 10-minute Taylor Swift song. We’re not talking about lumberjack flannels, but the more polished and sophisticated kind full of 90s nostalgia. Think Cher in “Clueless” or Rachel’s plaid skirts in “Friends.”

Find the perfect plaid piece and dress summer in a preppy look with a contemporary edge.

If there’s one thing that’s louder than the music at the Grammys, it’s the red carpet looks. Fashion is all about making a statement and no one does it better than music’s biggest night where talented icons in the industry get glammed up for the celebrations. Last Sunday night’s red carpet was a true spectacle as the 67th Annual Grammy Awards commenced, becoming the runway for some of the most breathtaking fashion moments of the year. 

Vintage glam seemed to be a recurring trend on the carpet as stars like Chappel Roan and Olivia Rodrigo donned looks from designers’ archives. There were also a lot of shimmering dresses and edgy black leather worn by pop stars like Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, and Miley Cyrus, as well as smart tailoring as seen on Billie Eilish, Doechii, and Janelle Monáe. 

From elegant couture to bold, statement-making looks, here are our favorite standout ensembles on the Grammys 2025 red carpet.

Taylor Swift

“Loving him was red,” indeed, as the Eras tour headliner dazzled in a shimmering red minidress from Vivienne Westwood. Taylor Swift never goes out of style and has worn some of the best red carpet looks over the years — all the while breaking records left and right. The “Cruel Summer” singer was nominated for six categories that night, including Album of the Year, and what better way to celebrate than to be in something she can move and dance around in? Genius!

She accessorized the look with red heels and a metal leg chain with a tiny “T.” Could this be a nod to his beau Travis Kelcey and that sultry lyric at the beginning of the chorus of her song “Guilty as Sin,” or maybe it means Taylor’s debut TV is coming? We’ll leave it to the Swifties to decode the easter eggs. 

Sabrina Carpenter

Another singer working late Sunday night is Sabrina Carpenter who brought Old Hollywood glam onto the red carpet with a satin powder-blue gown featuring a backless mermaid silhouette and feather accents. The dress was created by Irish designer Jonathan Anderson, who shared the stunning fashion moment on his IG stories. What we love most about this look is how it perfectly captures her image which she had donned throughout her “Short N’ Sweet” era. 

The “Espresso” singer accessorized the look with matching blue platform peep-toe mules and diamond-encrusted jewelry, which was the star of the show. She had a long string of nineteen carats of Chopard diamonds trailing down her back, which ended in the gorgeous D-flawless brilliant cut gemstone from Chopard's Garden of Kalahari Collection. The necklace is reported to have an estimated cost of one million dollars! 

The singer’s stylist, Jared Ellner, also included drop earrings and a 10.10-carat oval diamond ring from the same jeweler. On the other hand, Sabrina’s second look was thanks to Versace — a gold shimmering dress that got its turn in the spotlight when she received the Best Pop Vocal Album award. 

Chappell Roan

Another singer bringing the vintage drama on the red carpet is Best New Artist, Chappell Roan, who donned a Jean Paul Gaultier ball gown featured in the designer's 2003 couture runway. The yellow dress is elaborately tiered and is a literal piece of art as it includes prints of ballerinas inspired by Edward Degas’ famous paintings.

A true midwestern princess, the “Good Luck, Babe!” hitmaker matched it with sheer turquoise gloves, a feathered headpiece, and her signature clown-inspired glam. It’s bold, eccentric, and so Chappell! A true statement of identity!

ICYDK, this wasn’t the first time the gown was worn by an icon. Beyonce reportedly wore the same design in an Elle magazine spread during her Destiny’s Child days. 

Olivia Rodrigo

There’s nothing sour about this look. In fact, we might even suggest Olivia Rodrigo name her next album, “Hot,” because there’s just something about a sultry black dress! From the fit down to the glam, the three-time Grammy winner brought this vintage Versace plunging black halter gown back to life on the red carpet, turning heads with its sexy elements like the cut-out sides and nearly open back! 

Donatella Versace paid tribute to the artist with a heartwarming Instagram post saying: “@oliviarodrigo, you bring so much power and confidence to the Grammy’s red carpet in this Versace Spring- Summer 2000 dress. You are enchanting ✨”

The Lancôme ambassador paired the look with some Tiffany and Co. jewels, and dare we say it, a man by her side. Olivia attended solo in the past years, so it was a delightful surprise when she arrived with her boyfriend and “Enola Holmes” actor, Louis Partridge.

Charli XCX

“Brat” was the album of the summer and British singer Charli XCX became the belle of the ball with a custom corset gown by Ludovic de Saint Sernin for Jean Paul Gaultier. 

The corset bodice had a lace-up detailing at the back, which was one of its standout features. This structured element balanced the dramatic ruffled skirt, which featured a slit that reached her thigh, and showcased her knee-high black boots. The gown was said to have been inspired by a combination of looks from Gaultier's recent Paris couture runway. The ruffles extended to the sleeves and neckline, which created a balanced and elegant look. 

The “Guess” singer accessorized it with Bucherer Fine Jewelry and her signature bold makeup glam with loose waves. The only thing we didn’t love was the color. Could’ve gone with something bolder, perhaps “Brat Green?” But that’s just us. We love it overall and kind of reminded us of Ariana Grande’s poofy ball gown way back in 2020. 

Shaboozey

It wasn’t just the women slaying on the red carpet but also the gentlemen. Just take Shaboozey who donned a custom Diesel suit. This is the first time the country singer is attending the prestigious awards show where he secured five nominations including two of the Big Four categories for his track, “A Bar Song (Tipsy).”

The ensemble featured a glen-plaid leather double-breasted jacket with a matching fringed scarf, which we thought elevated the entire look. He paired it with black pants, then finished the look with a Lotus diamond brooch by De Beers Jewelry and a Jacob & Co.’s Ashoka diamond watch. 

Troye Sivan

Another best-dressed gentleman of the night is singer-songwriter Troye Sivan who graced the red carpet with a custom Prada suit that gave off a sense of tranquility. Amid the edgy leathers and bright sequins, Troye walked in, and it was like a breath of fresh air with his delicately crafted suit made of sheer silk organza in varying hues of lilac and lavender, which made it stand out from the formal black and grays of the evening. 

The “Strawberries and Cigarettes” singer was styled by Marc Forne, who completed the look with a matching scarf pinned with a diamond brooch. The artist reportedly collaborated with Prada on the design, which was inspired by a purple organza dress worn by Uma Thurman in 1994. 

We thought it was a lovely choice considering it’s one of the lucky shades of the year and gives a softer appearance to a masculine look.

Cardi B

Sabrina Carpenter isn’t the only one who wore feathers at the grand night because Cardi B also dazzled us with a red carpet stunner last Sunday night!

The rapper donned a golden tiger patterned gown that showed off her curves, proving that animal prints are here to stay! 

This is what we mean when a dress should hug you in all the right places. The Roberto Cavalli masterpiece fit her like a glove, highlighting the impressive craftsmanship with a sequined mermaid silhouette and full feather train. Gold and diamond Le Vian earrings and jeweled serpent cocktail rings completed her look, overall making it one of the most memorable looks of the night.
