Our Mirror fashion team got an early look at Boohoo’s summer range, and it’s packed with surprisingly high-quality pieces…
One of the perks of our job on a fashion desk is that we get to see early glimpses of new fashion collections before they hit the rails. And last week, we got a sneak peek at Boohoo’s latest summer drop. If you had any reservations about the quality or fit of Boohoo products, trust us, you won’t after seeing these new-in launches.
Playing on summer picnic style, the range features holiday and staycation essentials in breezy linen and silk-like fabrics, fun gingham and stripe prints, and with fruit print motifs. Many of the pieces also come with petite and plus options, meaning there’s something for everyone.
We spotted five key trends in the collection, ranging from cherry red to skorts, and we predict these pieces below will sell out fast! ‘Add to basket’ fingers at the ready…
Beaded sandals
Beaded slider sandals are set to be the hero shoe of summer 2025 – and it’s easy to see why. This season’s take blends laid-back, beachy ease with elevated, artisanal detail. Think intricate beadwork, playful embellishments and colour-pop accents that instantly lift a simple outfit. We spotted these two ‘Ibiza’ and ‘Capri’ pairs in gorgeous colourways.
Co-ord sets
Co-ord sets are having a major moment for summer 2025, with linen and satin-like fabrics leading the charge. From crisp, breathable linen that keeps things cool to silky finishes that catch the light just right, this trend is all about ease and elegance. The beauty of a co-ord lies in its instant polish– throw it on and you’re done. There’s plenty of choice in Boohoo’s new range, but these three above are perfect for daytime or evening dressing.
Mini dresses
The mini dress is making a strong comeback for summer 2025, but forget the bodycon bandage styles millennials once lived in. This season’s take is softer, more playful, and refreshingly effortless. Think babydoll shapes, flippy hems, and light fabrics that move with the breeze, often styled with flats or chunky trainers for a modern edge. Whether it’s puff sleeves, cut-out details or a simple strappy silhouette, the new mini feels flirty without fuss.
Cherry red
Cherry red is set to be the standout shade of summer 2025: bold, juicy and impossible to ignore. This vibrant hue is showing up everywhere, from slinky slip dresses to tailored co-ords and statement accessories, offering a punchy alternative to soft pastels or neutral basics. Whether worn head-to-toe or as a single pop against denim or white, cherry red brings instant energy.
Skorts
Woven Linen Look Striped Skort, £18
Woven Tennis Mini Skort, £16
Short With Double Split Skirt Layover, £13
Skorts are making an unexpected, and very welcome, comeback this summer, blending the polish of a mini skirt with the practicality of shorts. Perfect for busy days, festivals, or just keeping things breezy and effortless, they’re popping up in everything from crisp cottons to fluid satins. This time around, think tailored cuts, sporty silhouettes and minimalist styling. Less Y2K, more elevated ease.
Looking for other new-in collections to shop? M&S has just dropped its own summer range featuring gorgeous pieces for holidays. However, you’ll need to head into your nearest store to shop the range, since the ongoing cyber attack is still ruling out online shopping for the moment. Alternatively, H&M’s summer range is online and offers designer-looking silhouettes for much less than you’d think.
