SS25 runway look featuring 80s-inspired power dressing with oversized blazers, sharp tailoring, and leather accents, showcasing the rise of workwear this season

’80s Power dressing

The Spring Summer 2025 runways showcased a notable revival of ’80s Power dressing, with brands such as Saint Laurent, Balenciaga, Bottega Veneta, Jil Sander and Stella McCartney drawing inspiration from this vibrant era.Think polished, tailored, and powerful—but with a touch of personality.

Nostalgia has become a creative point of departure for designers, encouraging them to look back and incorporate elements from past styles. This retro-resurgence contrasts sharply with the restraint of recent “quiet luxury” trends, signaling a renewed embrace of a more maximalist approach.

Designers are reimagining the classic power suit with oversized blazers featuring sharp shoulders, wide-leg trousers, luxe leather accents, blending these structured silhouettes, with unexpected sheer and fluid materials for a fresh, wearable balance.

With “wardrobe staples” currently being one of the most-searched categories, it’s clear that hard-working fashion is more relevant than ever. Whether you’re in the office or dialing in from your favorite café, there’s something empowering about well-cut tailoring. It’s strong, stylish, and anything but boring.
