The unexpected shirt styling trend taking over spring 2025

As warmer weather kicks in, fashion staples like jeans, midi skirts, and classic shirts return to the spotlight. But this spring, one shirt styling trick is redefining the basics — and it’s as simple as flipping things around.

As Elle reports, the reverse-shirt trend is already runway-approved and going viral on TikTok.

Wearing your shirt backwards is fashion’s coolest surprise

Designers like Zomer, Givenchy, and Sacai have embraced an unexpected twist: turning the button-down shirt back-to-front. The collar and buttons now sit at the back, while the open spine becomes a bold style statement.

The look is catching fire online, with influencers showing how a simple styling trick can instantly elevate any outfit. It feels edgy, fresh, and a little romantic — all at once.

How to nail the trend:

1. Flip any shirt — white, printed, fitted, or oversized.
2. Pair with high-waisted jeans and leave the top buttons undone for that effortless touch.
3. Style with a silk skirt or wide-leg shorts for a more feminine, spring-ready feel.

It’s proof that fashion doesn’t have to be complicated — just creative. One twist can breathe new life into your wardrobe.
