Between the luxurious gowns, Becky Armstrong gave us a 101 in styling summer suits during her stint at Cannes Film Festival 2025. With a stamp of approval from the Thai actress, we’re thinking this 2025 fashion trend has the potential to carry on into the summer.
Blazers and pants are probably not on your mind as the temperatures heat up. You might want to reconsider that. Summer suits can give you that classically chic edge this season, so you not only look but also stay cool.
Popularized by celebrity street style, the suit trend has taken the formal and office wear staple and given it a more modern, casual look. The beauty of the trend is that it allows everyone to re-interpret the classic suit and put their own unique creative touch on it, whether that’s giving it the oversized treatment like Hailey Bieber, going for quirky combinations of vintage pieces like Bella Hadid, or applying an aesthetic that fits your vibe.
Fittingly, its versatility is the key to wearing suits for summer. You can modify the suit as you need and find the best fit for you. Here are six ways to style summer suits:
1. Big Sleeves, Fitted Shorts

One of the biggest trends from New York Fashion Week Spring-Summer 2025 was contrast in tailoring, with oversized tops juxtaposing tiny fitted shorts. Kicking off the trend, Becky Armstrong brought the look to Cannes Film Festival 2025, giving it an ultra luxe feel. (ICYMI: Her co-star Freen also did a take on suiting at the Met Gala 2025, so there’s plenty of inspo to go around.)
