It’s only the beginning of a new year, but something distinctly aquatic is rippling through the fashion waters already. A trend that we're predicting to cast a wide net and pull us in like a strong current in 2025: fisherman aesthetic.
The signs are already washing ashore. The colour seafoam made quite the appearance at this year’s Golden Globes. Pinterest’s 2025 trend forecast has also sounded the call that we can expect fisherman sandals, chunky cable knits, and netted bags to dominate wardrobes with a laid-back, nautical allure.
But fisherman aesthetic is more than a passing style wave. It speaks to a collective desire to reconnect with the raw simplicity of life by the sea – a celebration of salt-sprayed escapism and a cozy charm. Designers are already dabbling in the aesthetic with intent: Miu Miu’s SS25 collection paired oversized raincoats with sandals, while Jacquemus Cruise flirted with fisherman headscarfs and billowing linen pieces, where the colour seafoam dominated the runways palette. Even accessories are onboard, with woven totes and seashell jewellery adding a touch of artisanal flair to everyday outfits.
It's where cable knits meet breezy trousers, sailor stripes are given sleek, modern updates, and netted layers are draped over swimwear for an effortlessly ocean-ready vibe.
Whether you’re ready to dip a toe in with a subtle stripe or dive headfirst into full maritime chic, fisherman aesthetic is calling. It’s a breath of fresh, salty air – and yes, you’ll need your bucket hat. Below, we have curated a list of our favourite pieces to achieve the fisherman aesthetic.
