Suiting got a springtime refresh in the latest BOSS collection. The brand, known for its impeccably sharp tailoring, took a softer approach for spring/summer 2025—which translated into both the light, unstructured pieces that were shown on the runway, and the new louche attitude with which the models wore them. In recent seasons, BOSS has leaned hard into the gorp-core, office-wear-but-make-it-cool aesthetic. This time around, the brand envisioned the lives of the BOSS man and woman outside the 9-to-5 grind. If they play as hard as they work, they are going to need a wardrobe that can keep up—and so Marco Falcioni served up this well-rounded collection as the solution. As the SVP of Creative Direction put it, “A real BOSS is empowered and self-confident; they know when to log off and claim back their time, go out and relax, free from the hierarchy of rules and regulations.”

The show took place at the Palazzo del Senato—its courtyard transformed into a lush, overgrown garden, at once surreal and soothing. The collection was simply and aptly titled ‘Out of Office’, and its key piece was the three-button suit in lightweight fabrics like raw silk, linen or summer wool, constructed without shoulder pads or stiff interior workings.

For the first time on a BOSS runway, sporty elements played a major role in the proceedings, amplifying the relaxed vibe of the tailoring. There were rolled-up yoga mats and tennis racket bags slung over the models’ shoulders; sneakers were stuffed into their slouchy work bags. Otherwise corporate-looking shirts had zippers instead of buttons. Trousers and blousons came with drawstrings to create a more athletic silhouette—jiving with the many athletes who walked the show, such as Taylor Fritz, Matteo Berrettini and Loris Karius.

Wrapping and draping were the running motifs that kept things looking equally effortless on the womenswear side. Suit jackets lost their buttons and were turned into wrap styles, creating a more flattering silhouette. Otherwise, they were worn with hoodies and capri shorts. A three-piece suit was made more casual with its jacket and waistcoat both cut sleeveless. Meanwhile, sportier pieces like bomber jackets were lightly tailored for a more sophisticated shape, which looked great when worn with a soft zip-up top and a leather wrap skirt. Another standout look that encapsulated the easy–elegance ethos was the long powder blue coat worn over a tan suit and a black hoodie—all done in thin, almost weightless materials.
For the men, in addition to all those summer suits, there were also crisp shirts worn with schoolboy shorts and pullover knits. Looks that struck the fine balance between professional polish and off-duty cool included a light shawl-collar coat layered over a nylon blouson, cotton shirt and silk cravat worn with below-the-knee shorts, tights, ribbed socks and penny loafers. A chocolate leather sports jacket paired with dark green leather drawstring trousers was also effective; and that same brown-green combo was equally attractive as an overshirt worn over a shirt and short shorts.
To go with the expansive collection, the cast was one of Milan Fashion Week’s most diverse. In addition to the aforementioned athletes—who were distinctly not standard model-size—others who took to the runway included TikTok sensation, Khaby Lame, and Thai actor and heartthrob, Mew Suppassit, making his runway debut. In the front row taking it all in admiringly was David Beckham.
