The triumphant return of mod dresses in 2025
Emblematic of the 60s, the mod dress made a remarkable comeback in 2025, establishing itself as a must-have for spring-summer collections.
After seasons dominated by nostalgia for the 2000s, fashion is revisiting the Sixties, marked by boldness and freshness. The mod dress, the era’s signature piece, reappears on the catwalks in modernized versions, combining trapeze cuts and ultra-short hems. Popularized by icons such as Twiggy and Jane Birkin, this emblematic dress is reinvented by today’s designers.
Sabato De Sarno for Gucci proposes vibrant, acidic hues, while Coach plays the casual card by pairing the dress with sneakers and casual accessories. Lacoste, Marni and Pierre Cardin also embrace this trend, reminding us that the mod dress is not a simple homage, but a key piece of 2025.
How to adopt a mod dress today?
The mod dress adapts to all seasons. In winter, it combines with colorful tights, high boots and an oversized coat for a striking contrast. In summer, it returns to its original minimalism, worn with ballet flats, flat sandals and XXL sunglasses. Lovers of sophistication can add long gloves or a cashmere scarf, playing on retro accessories.
