The Pine Crest Team has curated a selection* of the latest print trends inspired by fashion week runways for SS25. These trendy prints are ideal for activewear, swimwear, and fashion apparel, offering fresh ideas for your next designs based on the latest fashion trends.
1. Canopy
Nature is taking center stage in the Spring/Summer 2025 fashion collections. Designers use intricate floral and plant motifs in lush greens, bright blues, and vivid pink colors. Hyper-realistic foliage on sandy neutrals brings a tropical vibe, while earthy botanical sketches highlight the harmony between fashion and nature.
2. Wild Things
This season, classic animal prints are extended with more exotic imagery, such as birds and jungle wildlife. These vibrant and dynamic prints are often set to soft pastel backgrounds, making the design versatile for casual and formal looks.
3. Geo Magic
For the 2025 season’s collections, designers favor futuristic and tech-inspired patterns. Geometric shapes dominate, often in metallic shades like silver and gold, creating prints that resemble abstract mosaics or tech-inspired grids. These prints are frequently layered to form optical illusions, adding depth and dimension to the garments.
4. Cyber Glitch
Inspired by the digital world, Glitch art has made its way onto the runway. Fashion designers are experimenting with pixelated distortions and fragmented lines, creating chaotic, cyber-infused patterns. Often set in neon palettes, these prints evoke a sense of futuristic rebellion, making them perfect for bold, statement pieces.
5. Retro Rebel
Retro-inspired designs continue to drive print trends in 2025. This season, fashion brands look for inspiration in the 1970s and 1980s. Designers are incorporating psychedelic swirls, hand-drawn flowers, and paisley prints in mustard yellows, burnt oranges, and deep purples, offering a modern take on vintage aesthetics.
6. Tie-dye and Ombre
The tie-dye revival remains strong in Spring/Summer 2025 but with a more sophisticated approach. Designers use soft ombre effects instead of loud, chaotic colors, where colors gently blend from one shade to another, creating a serene and calming visual. These prints often incorporate pastel hues, like lavender and turquoise, for a dreamy, ethereal look.
7. High Contrast
Black and white prints are timeless, and SS25 is no exception. Designers use stark black-and-white contrasts to create elegant, minimalist looks. These prints range from delicate botanical illustrations to graphic geometric patterns, offering bold and refined options. The simple color palette highlights the intricate designs, making these prints ideal for statement pieces.
8. Overgrown
This season, floral prints are focusing on the theme of being bigger and bolder. Designers have embraced oversized flowers like fuchsia, violet, and coral in bright hues. These maximalist prints evoke a sense of abundance and joy, perfect for summer wardrobes.
9. Glimmer
Transparency is one of the key trends for the Spring/Summer 25 collections. Sheer overlays add a delicate, ethereal touch to printed fabrics, and embellishments like foils, holographic elements, and glitter are often added to create texture and movement. The interplay of transparency and texture gives these prints a luxurious feel.
10. Handwork
Sustainable fashion boosts the popularity of artisan-inspired prints, highlighting craftsmanship and eco-conscious design. With earthy tones like olive green and ochre, these prints add a personal, authentic touch. Hand-drawn florals, block prints, and patchwork patterns highlight the shift toward slow fashion.
11. Plaid Revival
Plaid and stripes are making a bold return for SS25, reimagined with oversized checks, neon-infused tartans, and playful ginghams. Stripes add a modern touch, appearing in vibrant colors and unique patterns, bringing a fresh twist to classic prints.
