SUMMER 2025: BARE!

Sunshine, heat, and bare skin: this summer is all about keeping it breezy. No fuss, just comfortable summer clothing that lets you move freely and allows your skin to breathe. From bare shoulders to short skirts and sleeveless tops, this season we’re embracing the simplicity and freedom of going bare – no frills attached.

THIS SEASON'S TREND: NATURAL AND RELAXED MINIMALISM

Summer fashion this year is all about a fresh, effortless look. No excessive frills or intricate layers, but rather pieces that are simple, stylish and versatile. Think off-the-shoulder dresses and tops, shoulder-baring styles, and of course, short skirts and shorts that you can easily pair with a basic T-shirt or lightweight blouse.

Fibre Mood Edition 34 is packed with patterns that perfectly match this summer trend – from airy spaghetti-strap tops to mini skirts and dresses, sleeveless tops, playful shorts and so much more. Expect plenty of bare legs, arms, and shoulders. But even beyond Edition 34, you’ll find a wide selection of breezy summer sewing patterns. We’ve listed them for you at the end of this article.

SMART SUMMER SKINCARE

Bare arms, shoulders, and legs feel wonderfully free, especially on hot days. But with that sun comes a little responsibility too. Fortunately, that doesn’t mean staying indoors, with the right sun protection, you can enjoy being outdoors worry-free.Sunlight is great for your mood, but your skin needs protection from overheating and harmful UV rays. Choose breathable fabrics that keep you cool, and make sure you use a good sunscreen that suits your skin type. Also, don't forget to seek out a shady spot every now and then during peak sun hours (between 12:00 noon and 3:00 pm). That way, you can relax in the sun without worrying about your skin.

PLAY AROUND WITH PATTERNS, FABRICS AND SILHOUETTES

This summer is the perfect time to mix and match. For instance, pair a shoulder-baring top with linen trousers, or opt for a breezy dress in a cheerful print. Lightweight, breathable fabrics like cotton, linen or voile make your outfit extra comfortable. They are gentle on your skin and prevent overheating, even on the hottest days.

SUMMER TIPS FOR A FRESH LOOK

• Choose soft colours and summery prints that pair well with your favourite basics.
• Pick a length that suits you: just above the knee, midi skirt, or nice and short, as long as you feel good in it!
• Accessories like a wide-brimmed hat or a light scarf can be a nice finishing touch and give your skin extra protection.
• Don’t be afraid to play with layers: a breezy cardigan or kimono is ideal for cooler evenings.
