There’s nothing quite like an Armani vacation. For Giorgio Armani’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection, the legendary designer takes us along to his version of the tropics, where neutrals still rule, and tailoring is as much beachwear as any kaftan.

The runway was transformed into a summer dream: a terrace filled with nothing but palm leaf shadows and comfortable chairs. As the first looks appeared, the setting was complete. Effortless layering in taupe, light blues, and mild greys sauntered down the runway. The jackets? Unlined. The shirts? Silky. Armani is, as always, an idiosyncratic tailor. His characteristic silhouette is unmistakably his. Double-breasted in an approachable silver stands out, as do the 1970s-inspired collars on light shirts.

As the collection progresses, monochromatic looks get subtly darker. Along the gradient from taupe to midnight blue, the palm leaves that adorn the floor make their way onto garments, at times subtly, at others more noticeably, like in negative prints on T-shirts. With naked chests and linen pants, Armani envisions summer not as it is, but as it should be.
