The hot weather is officially there. And although the trenches and light jackets always have their just share of action, there is a change of atmosphere in the air. Just take Oprah’s latest look as proof.
On April 24, the magnate was spotted in New York with one of the largest trends in the summer of 2025: scratches. Yes, classic printing has a major moment for this next hot time season, and Oprah launches it in style. She wore a pair of cropped striped pants styled with a navy blue sweater and black boots. On his arm was a white and oversized tote bag that meant business.

The tendency of nautical stripes is preparing since the spectacles of spring / summer 2025 last September, when brands like Proenza Schouler, Sacai and Rabanne approved the trend. Frapping print versions with soft tones, the scratches seemed to be bursting everywhere, anywhere, at the same time.
The taking of Oprah is just tied with the trend, proving that the basic food of the nautical feel has a place in our cupboards beyond beach outfits. Unlike a sweater and navy boots, stripes take a more suitable life to business, pushed further by the handbag ready for the conference room.

It also helps that stripes arrive in all shapes and colors, moving away the trend from the classic white and nave combo. Brands like Simon Miller and Boden, for example, have bet on color stripes, as well as more pastel shades. Meanwhile, the hottest colors of the season, including baby blue and butter yellow, can also be found in striped form.
