H&amp;M Studio&rsquo;s SS25 collection is all about power dressing with a twist &mdash; sharp tailoring meets laid-back cool for a wardrobe that works anytime, anywhere.

What does the modern woman wear? H&amp;M Studio&rsquo;s Spring/Summer 2025 collection has the answer, and it&rsquo;s a wardrobe that refuses to be boxed in. Inspired by the unapologetic style of 1980s corporate mavens and the sun-soaked glamour of Miami and Los Angeles, this collection is all about balance &mdash; merging sharp tailoring with effortless leisurewear. Boardroom-ready suits meet sultry swimwear, and structured coats transition seamlessly into after-hours elegance.
The collection is built around the idea that a woman&rsquo;s style shouldn&rsquo;t be confined to office hours. "For SS25, we looked to the power woman and imagined her whole day &mdash; not just corporate life &mdash; because her strength and sense of style go beyond the 9-to-5," explains Linda Wikell, designer at H&amp;M Studio.

For actress Elisse Joson, that&rsquo;s exactly what makes the collection stand out. &ldquo;I felt very powerful when I was wearing the pieces because it's very structured and tailored. And since I started my business, that's something to feel, you know, very powerful about,&rdquo; she says. &ldquo;I feel like it can get you from your nine-to-five work straight to having fun at the end of the day, having a night out with your friends. It&rsquo;s very versatile.&rdquo;

H&amp;M Studio SS25 is all about silhouettes that command attention. A long black belted coat in lightweight boucl&eacute; makes a statement with its sharp shoulders, while a blue shirt-bodysuit with contrast white cuffs offers a fresh take on officewear. A grey draped mini-dress with a shawl detail exudes understated sophistication, while a cropped funnel-neck nylon jacket nods to the collection&rsquo;s sporty undercurrent.

For Bela Padilla, the collection feels like a perfect blend of her personal style. &ldquo;The new collection is so me in ways that it feels masculine but it also still has feminine touches,&rdquo; she shares. &ldquo;Like the first look I wore, the suit&mdash;I loved it so much because I love things that are boxy. But it was still cinched at the waist. It&rsquo;s so hard to find a good blazer that is cinched right.&rdquo;

The color palette mirrors this balance, combining corporate greys, blacks, and whites with bolder hues like scarlet red and water blue. Prints also play a role in redefining power dressing, particularly in a coordinating suit set featuring a distorted underwater motif that adds an unexpected, almost hypnotic take on tailoring.

Versatility is key in building a wardrobe that can keep up with a fast-paced lifestyle, and Chie Filomeno knows exactly what to look for. &ldquo;My style philosophy is all about confidence, versatility, and self-expression,&rdquo; she says. &ldquo;I love timeless pieces, playing with bold and feminine looks. That&rsquo;s very me.&rdquo;
For Chie, the collection&rsquo;s denim pieces are must-haves. &ldquo;The best investment for you to buy from this collection? Jeans! A good pair of jeans,&rdquo; she insists. &ldquo;Especially me, I love my jeans so much. And there&rsquo;s a pair in this collection that I&rsquo;m obsessed with.&rdquo;
Meanwhile, Elisse recommends going for monochrome looks. &ldquo;You can&rsquo;t go wrong with a monochromatic look,&rdquo; she says. &ldquo;A good pair of trousers, a good jacket &mdash; anything you can re-wear again and again.&rdquo;

This collection rewrites the rules of power dressing &mdash; effortlessly shifting from city strides to boardroom moves and poolside lounging. It&rsquo;s a bold take on modern style, proving that strength and softness, structure and ease, can all live in the same wardrobe.
