The palace courtyard was transformed into a verdant oasis of calm – an aesthetically soothing landscape of soft reliefs in a city defined by its hustle and bustle. Models walked an organic, winding catwalk through the botanical landscape, further evoking a contrast between traditional corporate dress structures and the 5-to-9 concept of escapism.
“For Spring/Summer 2025, we have reimagined suits, the epitome of BOSS tailoring tradition, with a softer approach, where the silhouette is dictated by the wearer’s body, leaving more room for freedom and expression of individuality,” he says. Marco Falcioni, Senior Vice President, Creative Direction, HUGO BOSS“We’ve moved away from traditional double-breasted suits, whose sharp cuts define the silhouette and are perceived as an uncompromising shield around the wearer. This season, the star piece is the understated three-button suit in lighter fabrics, which gently hugs the body without the restrictive internal structures or shoulder pads. It’s a reset: a true BOSS is empowered and self-assured; he knows when to switch off and take back his time, to get out and relax, free from the hierarchy of rules and regulations.”
Themed “Out of the Office,” BOSS’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection breaks away from traditional corporate style and offers a softer, deconstructed approach to suiting. Featuring relaxed tailoring, sporty elements and luxurious fabrics, the collection emphasizes individuality and a balanced lifestyle, combining work and leisure with relaxed elegance and freedom of movement.
The collection reflects the overall spirit stemming from this removal of structure, while inviting a sophisticated sense of decompression outside of work hours. This is seen, for the first time on the BOSS runway, in the inclusion of sporty-style elements and accessories, such as drawstring fastening mechanisms, yoga mats and tennis racket bags, as well as select pieces that draw inspiration from sleepwear, such as pyjamas and robes.
Trouser hems rose above the ankle on womenswear looks, while other standout items such as blazers, skirts, dresses and trench coats offered the wearer greater freedom of movement through wraparound construction and elegant draping. Tailored darts were added to traditionally casual cuts such as bomber jackets to create voluminous sleeves, and were paired with drawstring-embellished tops and hoodies. A backless wrap tunic dress stood out with its draped front pleating and a low-back-grazing neckline. Luxe fabrics ranged from wool to silk to leather. Accessories featured a more relaxed approach that broke from traditional formal styles, in the form of pashminas and folded hobo bags, while most shoes featured gently rounded toes, in contrast to the strong points and boxy shapes of previous collections.
In addition to three-button suits, menswear saw more casual shirt silhouettes, such as single-pocket styles with concealed button plackets and drawstring hems, paired with tailored trousers with lengths that extended just past the knee. Evening-ready pieces included tailored coats and jackets deconstructed in silk with shawl lapels and trimmed finishes. Footwear included low-profile sneakers or leather sandals with a slipper look and feel, both crafted from Italian leather. For finishing touches, in addition to pashminas and flat caps, menswear accessories saw traditionally structural constraints removed so that pieces collapsed, as seen in the form of slouchy briefcases, briefcases and sports-inspired bags.
The color palette offers a relaxed range of hues, including light and navy blues, earthy browns, white, black, and even subdued variations of green, among other shades.
The new spring/summer 2025 collection was presented on September 18 in a surreal garden setting. Athletes and celebrities including Taylor Fritz, Matteo Berrettini, Alica Schmidt, Nicolò Martinenghi, Loris Karius and Miles Chamley-Watson walked the out-of-office-inspired show, as did social media sensation Khaby Lame and Thai actor Mew Suppasit. Meanwhile, David Beckham attended his first BOSS catwalk presentation since the announcement of his strategic partnership with the brand.
Other front row attendees included a range of talents from across the creative spectrum, including Khalid, Kaya Scodelario, Micheal Ward, Jamie Campbell Bower, João Guilherme Ávila and Maia Mitchell.
