My Spring Summer '25 Season Shopping List
All the stuff that's bothering my basket right now
Spring is in the air, and my wallet is already feeling the pressure. To help you navigate your own warm-weather shopping decisions in the months ahead, here’s a curated list of everything I’m currently coveting.
1 | The Trousers
Made from cotton and wool drill and crafted to look like denim, they hang like a dream and wear like art.
2 | The Jacket
I can’t get enough of Kiko Kostadinov’s clothes. They make you feel like you’re really wearing a piece of design - something that’s been deeply though about, with the details agonised over. I also like that there’s something of a Tudor doublet about this jacket.
3 | The Trainers
I tried them on in Liberty yesterday and they look as good as I hoped. Best with wide jeans.
4 | The Shirt
I’m quite into a Lady Di piecrust right now, and this stiff cotton one from Alessandro Michele’s first collection for Valentino is ticking all the right boxes.
5 | The Jeans
These jeans from Jacquemus are like Levi’s Twisteds reimagined for the modern age. They’re thick and they hang beautifully, puddling slightly over trousers and creating a barrel shape in the leg.
6 | The Blazer
It bothers me that it’s made from Polyester but both the colour and the cut of the thing is magnificent.
7 | The Bomber
Each of Rier’s South Tyrolean inspired “Walker” jackets are made to order, using the same wool felting technique which has been deployed in the region for centuries.
8 | The Shoes
I love all of The Row’s shoes. They’re perfectly low profile and look much more simple than they are, as they should for over £1k.
