Ukrainian designer Andre Tan has named the top must-have items for summer 2025. His list includes woven bags, light flip-flops, natural fabrics, and versatile looks that are easy to adapt to any occasion or mood, as he shares on Instagram.
"Top 5 items every woman needs. These seasonal must-haves will help you create half your summer looks!" the stylist emphasized.
Large woven bag
Bags made from raffia, straw, jute, or woven leather are stylish in summer due to their lightness and natural look. These bags go well with beachwear, linen dresses, jeans, or office suits.
"A summer must-have! It pairs with jeans, a t-shirt, sandals, and sundresses. The material can be anything—raffia, leather, or suede," Tan noted.
It's worth mentioning that such bags are not suitable for evening outfits—they are best used for walks and summer get-togethers.

Linen suit
Linen is a breathable fabric that provides ventilation and doesn't feel hot, even in +30°C. You can wear the suit as a set or combine the pieces with other wardrobe items: a blazer with jeans, trousers with a silk top.
"Linen is the ideal summer fabric. Stylish, light, and lets your skin breathe. Pair a sleeveless top with shorts or trousers," the designer said.
This outfit is suitable for the office, vacations, city strolls, or dinner on a terrace.

Flip-flops
Flip-flops are light summer footwear made of a flat sole and a Y-shaped strap between the big and second toes.
"Leather flip-flops have an elegant and expensive look. They go well with jeans, shorts, summer suits, sundresses, and skirts of any length. Choose models with animal prints—snake, cow, or zebra," he advised.

Silk scarf
According to the stylist, a silk scarf adds elegance to any look.
"Tie it around your wrist or use it as a belt, and a simple outfit with jeans and a white tank top becomes stylish and elegant," he said.

Aladdin pants
Aladdin pants are a trendy silhouette for summer 2025. They made a comeback focusing on comfort, lightness, and ethnic aesthetics. Typically, they have a very loose fit, especially around the hips and cuffs at the ankles.
"Playful and stylish. Choose cotton or silk, plain fabric or with stripes. They suit all body types, but if you're short or have wide hips, wear them with heels to elongate your silhouette," Tan noted.
