The fashion trends spotted during Euro summer

While comforting faux furs and cosy fabrications become our second skin during these bracing winter months, one—arguably green-tinged—eye remains firmly on the prize. And by prize, we mean the fashion girlies starring in Euro summer and the trends spotted along the cobbled streets of Europe’s landmarks. As we watch and wait for our time to come, these are the summer trends we can’t wait to tap into.

Genie pants are back
Genie, balloon, harem, Aladdin—whichever way you sway, one thing’s for sure: this trouser style is here to stay for seasons to come. Characterised by its loose-leg fit and cuffed ankle silhouette, genie trousers have a complex history that spans centuries, cultures, and fashion revolutions. In more recent years, they first reappeared cascading down the Alaïa S/S 25 runway, followed by iterations from Loewe and boho-industry greats like Chloé. Fast forward, and harem pants have already returned to the S/S 26 catwalks of MSGM, Marke and Emporio Armani. Our top picks for Genie pants? Seoul-based brand Partimento has recently unveiled a selection of sheer, cotton and frilly harem pants that we can't wait to get our hands on.

Scarves as belts
Here at Remix HQ, we love nothing more than uncovering simple styling cues that have the power to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. Case in point: scarves as belts. Okay, we can’t take all the credit. As temperatures soar in the Northern Hemisphere, the fashion girlies of Europe and beyond have been spotted tying scarves around the waists of maxi dresses and lightweight trousers. Whether to add interest or to break up a monochrome look, this simple addition brings an enviably chic and wearable touch to any summer outfit. And when it comes to scarves, we implore you to explore your local thrift stores for one-of-a-kind vintage finds. Or, for those with a taste for luxury, take this as your sign to invest in Gucci’s Art of Silk collection.

The art of simple layering
And for our next trick, we call upon the magic of simple layering to boost the wearability of your wardrobe staples tenfold. As seen on many of our favourite fashion girlies across the globe, layering a singlet in a contrasting colour over a T-shirt or button-up brings a hint of Miu Miu’s hallmark sport-chic energy to the everyday wardrobe, without breaking the bank. The real beauty of this trend lies in its limitless versatility—play with colour, fabrications and hemlines to breathe new life into your wardrobe essentials.
