Employing floaty fabrics, plenty of monochromatic moments, and asymmetric silhouettes, the New York-based label made a compelling case for the perennial allure of pared-back styles.

While a debate concerning the merits of maximalism versus <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/jean-paul-gaultier-fall-winter-2024-haute-couture-runway-show-review-images" target="_blank" rel="noopener">minimalism</a> has ravaged the fashion world in recent years, with primary concerns being micro-trends, personal expression, and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/fashion-return-to-wearability-minimalism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wearability</a>, Brandon Maxwell has made a compelling case for the timeless allure of minimalistic styles. Presenting the label's Spring/Summer 2025 collection, models strode down the runway in <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/new-york-fashion-week-spring-2025-schedule-designers-shows-what-to-see-do-nyfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York City</a> clad in a series of breathtaking styles that adhered to a predominantly neutral-toned color palette, with eye-catching pops of color here and there, of course.
On the Brandon Maxwell runway, pared-back certainly didn't translate to plain&mdash;as seen in the multitudes of ruffled styles, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/summer-tailoring-ideas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">asymmetric</a> silhouettes, and elegant rhinestoned looks. Drop-waisted dresses, complete with floaty chiffon hems, atop pleated straight-leg trousers, and mock-neck tops paired with seemingly weightless <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/hailey-bieber-aesthetic-shopping-oversized-blazers-glazed-skin-nails" target="_blank" rel="noopener">blazers</a> proved the power of a layered look that at its core, relied upon the simplicity of each individual component.&nbsp;
At first glance, audience members appeared shocked to see that models wore no shoes while conducting themselves down the catwalk, but upon closer inspection, they actually donned barely-there sandals, comprised of a transparent netted top adhered to a sleek, silver <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/ballet-flats-mary-jane-ballerina-shoes-trend-history-how-to-style" target="_blank" rel="noopener">flat</a> base, proving for an awe-inspiring visual effect that paired neatly with each and every look.
The effortlessly elegant aura of the Brandon Maxwell Spring/Summer 2025 collection continued in turned-up coat collars, buttoned-down henley neck tops, and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/hot-pants-trend-spring-summer-2024-runways" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pantless</a> looks&mdash;presented in the form of sensationally sheer skirts and pared-back briefs alike.&nbsp;
Among the non-neutral hues to make an appearance within the collection were a series of metallic-centric looks. Belts, leather bags, hardware, and one particularly eye-catching textured dress all materialized in shades of silver, making each and every look feel a natural presence within the collection as a whole. Sunny <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/butter-yellow-dress-shopping-butter-yellow-outfits" target="_blank" rel="noopener">yellow</a> tones also made a prominent appearance within the collection, seen in a monochromatic top and skirt, as well as in the retro-inspired, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/shopping/yellow-lens-sunglasses-shopping-rihanna-tinted-sunnies" target="_blank" rel="noopener">yellow-tinted aviator sunglasses</a> donned by more than a few of the models, heralding the continued reign of '90s minimalism for next season.&nbsp;
