Top 10 Popular Elements Trends for Spring/Summer 2025/26!

Design techniques are an important form of clothing composition. In the design of the 2025/26 spring/summer collection, tassels, ruffles, prints, knitted crocheting, and folds are frequent design forms.

Asymmetric

In informal settings, asymmetrical design takes a place on the 2025 spring/summer runway. It can be reflected in the contour structure or local design.



Three dimensional flowers

Flat printing is one of the main forms of this season, and three-dimensional flowers also occupy a certain proportion in the brand's 2025 spring and summer collection design. The three-dimensional flowers and clothing complement each other as a whole, with a strong sense of three dimensionality and lifelike appearance.




Deconstruction

Deconstruction, also known as structural destruction, completes the overall design in an unexpected direction, transforming the inherent structure into a new one, like divergent thinking, giving the design more possibilities.

Leading edge

Perhaps influenced by the retro style, many brands have coincidentally added collar edges to their designs this season, usually contrasting with the top to highlight the decorative effect while also emphasizing retro features.

Draw pleats

In addition to uniform pleats, this season's design also presents various forms of pleating design, which transforms the design from a flat surface to a three-dimensional texture, preserving the basic characteristics of a flat surface.

Sculpture sense

The shaping of sculptural sense is the three-dimensional feeling of the entire design. At this time, the design may not be as simple as a piece of clothing, as the shaping of structure and overall shape gives it more artistic qualities.

Glitter

Glitter (non surface meaning, which can also be considered as a glossy decorative element) is a common decoration on clothing, especially in the design of formal Dresses, emphasizing complexity and luxury with large areas of glitter.

Wrap/bind

The wrap around and buckle style design also has a high visibility in the 2025 Spring/Summer collection. Other brands have different interpretations, such as wrapping around the waist or unconsciously wrapping around different parts, which are all good design forms.




Hollow out

Weaving or crocheting, as well as intentionally leaving gaps and mesh in clothing, this hollow design technique is ubiquitous in the design of this season's collection.

Feather

Feathers have made some exceptions to their popularity, as local decorative embellishments or as components of skirts and Jackets. The forms of feathers are also diverse, some are as light as ostrich feathers, while others directly replicate bird feathers.
