NEXT has been redifining fashion over recent years, attracting a younger audience and coming up with some real style steals. The brand has expanded its style offering to include edgier, more contemporary pieces that resonate with Gen Z and millennial shoppers, think oversized blazers, cargo trousers, and bold accessories. Steadfastly positioning itself as a go-to destination for affordable, stylish fashion that feels fresh, relevant, and on-trend, we just had to put together our top picks from the NEXT Summer 2025 Collection (newsflash -we are in love.) Whether you’re heading to sun-drenched climes or planning a staycation in the UK, there’s no need to not look effortlessly chic. Here’s our favourite pieces you don’t want to sleep on this summer.
Our Favourites – Beach Chic
This laid-back yet statement-making look from Next is all about effortless summer styling with a modern twist. The standout crochet trousers (£49) bring a 70s-inspired boho vibe, made fresh when paired with oversized tees and bold accessories. The sunshine-ready straw shoulder bag (£34) and vibrant beaded necklace (£20) add pops of colour, while the red bikini set (£28 top / £26 bottoms) nods to timeless poolside glamour.
Our Favourites – Playful Prints & Retro Energy
Bold, playful and bursting with colour, this edit taps into the nostalgia trend while keeping things fresh. The graphic co-ord set with fan print beach shorts (£20) and matching shirt gives instant throwback energy, balanced by modern cuts and comfy fits. Accessories like red cat-eye sunglasses (£15) and the striped “Ciao Bella” canvas bag (£35) elevate the look for beach clubs and beyond. Whether you’re in the tropical swimsuit (£56) or slipping into the breezy mini dress (£42), this collection is designed to turn heads and exude carefree holiday style.
Our Favourites – Effortless Glam
The Rochelle Series by NEXT is the epitome of summer sophistication, offering timeless pieces that blend luxury with effortless style. This collection features chic bikini sets, a stunning beach dress, and elevated basics like a premium T-shirt and tailored trousers, perfect for transitioning from poolside lounging to evening cocktails. The neutral palette and clean lines align with this season’s trend of minimalist resort wear, while the high-quality fabrics ensure both comfort and elegance. Style the bikini top and bottoms with the beach dress thrown over for a cover-up that exudes glamour, or pair the T-shirt with the tailored trousers for a polished daytime look. With prices reflecting its premium appeal, this collection is ideal for those seeking investment pieces that will last beyond the season.
Our Favourites – Playful Monochrome
For a bold and playful summer wardrobe, NEXT’s Zebra Print Swimsuit and coordinating separates are a dream come true. This season, animal prints and vibrant patterns are dominating resort wear, making the Zebra swimsuit a standout piece. Pair it with the affordable Sandals (£58) and Sun Earrings (£8.50) for a fun beach-ready ensemble, or layer the Top (£39) over the swimsuit for a casual daytime look. The Gingham Playsuit (£39) and Trousers (£36) offer versatile options for summer outings, while the Cord Necklace (£10) adds a touch of bohemian flair. This collection nails the trend of mixing prints and textures without breaking the bank, proving that high style can be accessible. Perfect for festivals, beach trips, or city strolls, these pieces are as practical as they are fashionable.
