It’s time to plan your summer sartorial calendar, aided by Citizen Femme’s June 2025 fashion round-up.
Featuring must-have holiday essentials, designer collaborations, and sustainable swimwear, our style director’s picks will see you through the season in style.
Mango introduces their latest designer collaboration with celebrated British-Indian designer Supriya Lele. This debut also heralds the launch of Mango Collective – a platform spotlighting the innovation of emerging and independent designers, with a mission to infuse new energy and perspectives into the fashion landscape. A Summer Reverie is a poetic 34-piece collection that captures the hazy allure of long evenings and sun-drenched days. Featuring flowing maxi dresses, sculptural skirts, and sleek swimwear, Supriya Lele brings her distinctive fusion of South Asian aesthetics and contemporary design to each piece, combining sheer fabrics, playful tricot textures, and subtle draping to evoke a mood that is both romantic and modern.
Since its launch in 1979, Le Specs has cemented its status as a global authority in eyewear, renowned for its trend-driven sunglasses at an accessible price point. Beloved by industry insiders and style icons alike, Le Specs has been spotted on some of the world’s most influential names, including Beyoncé, Rihanna, Gigi and Bella Hadid, Lady Gaga, and Kendall Jenner. We love their classic oval shape Outta Love – a go-to accessory to add polish to any outfit.
Co-Founder and Creative Director Paige Adams-Geller began her career as a fit model, mastering the nuances of perfect fit from the inside out. When she launched her namesake brand, she brought that expertise to every design – ensuring each piece is flattering, comfortable, and crafted to last. This season, the collection takes inspiration from the rich spirit of Moroccan culture, the tranquil elegance of a villa escape, and the effortless allure of safari style. As well as the brand's signature denim, look to linen summer suiting and printed cotton dresses in easy-to-wear styles.
A symbol of allure and mystery, the siren takes centre stage as Olivia von Halle’s muse for Pre-Fall 2025. Reimagined through the brand’s signature lens of opulence, the collection draws on sunset-hued tones and takes inspiration from ancient mythological creatures to hedonistic poolside figures – notably those captured by fashion photographer Helmut Newton in the 1970s. New for the season are two luxurious silk blends designed with balmy nights in mind. A crisp, breathable linen-silk hybrid – crafted from two parts linen to one part silk, and a featherlight silk chiffon, which offers an ethereal take on lounge dressing.
Designed with sun-soaked days in mind, Cambridge Satchel's just launched tote is woven from natural raffia, in either all black or tan, and accented with the brand's signature Madras Grain leather. True to Cambridge Satchel’s values, each bag is handcrafted by skilled artisans in the heart of England, while the leather is sustainably sourced as a by-product of the food industry. Thoughtfully designed with a spacious interior, magnetic closure, and a convenient slip pocket, we'll be wearing ours from market mornings to beach afternoons and everything in between.
Bouclé might not be the fabric that springs to mind for summer, but this textured cotton maxi skirt, tank top and matching bag from ME+EM has us firmly in a chokehold. Better yet, London-based customers can experience the ease of in-store shopping from the comfort of home with Harper's Concierge. Their Try Before You Buy service is ideal for last-minute holiday shopping or event dressing. With no upfront payment – you simply keep what you love and return the rest.
London-based brand, Rat & Boa, introduce their latest collection Dreamstate – the first chapter in a three-part summer series and a bold celebration of the season. The collection captures the essence of high summer, with a focus on golden-hour glamour and effortless allure – ideal for summer occasions, wedding guest dressing and the dreamiest vacation wardrobe.
The New York and Texas fashion label Hunter Bell is bringing its signature charm across the Atlantic this June, marking its official UK debut with a curated pop-up at Liberty London. Known for its whimsical, feminine designs and southern flair, the brand was founded in 2006 and has since become a favourite for summer dressing with a playful aesthetic. The launch coincides with Liberty’s 150th anniversary celebrations, where the iconic department store is spotlighting a handpicked selection of designers in a special summer showcase. Set within Liberty’s East Atrium, the Hunter Bell pop-up will feature a vibrant edit of the brand’s most beloved summer pieces—think colourful embroidery, fresh ginghams, and breezy silhouettes.
