Have you taken a peak at the spring/summer 2025 runways?
Tis the season for expressive dressing!

With velvet, of course, always velvet.
Soft, luxurious and cozy, velvet answers when the holiday season calls.
The options are endless, but thebestare below.

For added volume combined with short lengths, look to Bernadettes taffeta mini and Pradas embroidered gotta-have.
Add a simple kitten heel to play up vintage sensibilities with Nili Lotan and Massimo Duttis style.
These arent your standard summer dresses, however.

Bottega Venetas works great for a fancy brunch, while Zaras open-back midi dress nods to the noughties.
Youll find it below, along with gleaming embellishments from Clio Peppiatt, and rosettes from Magda Butrym.
