The glamorous hottest summer fashions of 2025

 

Nothing makes fashion more appealing and satisfying to ladies and gentlemen than summer, especially with the most glitzy styles of the season. Events, vacations, and beach lovers are all sparked by the summer, and the fashion that goes along with it is truly wonderful. 

We have been kept alert in recent months by the fashion industry's high-profile events, projects, and activities. This year, there are excellent fashion designers, together with competitive summer fashion prospects.

 

Why does summer fashion seem so extravagant? Heavy fashion design coats, dresses, jackets, and shoes are popular in the winter, and regardless of how beautiful one looks in winter clothing, the ability to wear casual, stylish clothing has been taken away. 

As a result, summer fashion is the hottest way to show off those gorgeous legs, especially, the ladies. Men also wear light shirts and trousers to amuse themselves with their partners in restaurants, cafés, open bars, and occasionally at the cinema.

 

The concerning trend in recent fashion shows is that designers have begun showcasing the newest summertime hues, which have not only taken over the entire fashion industry but are also incredibly alluring. 

Men fall in love during the summer when they catch sight of ladies wearing appealing clothing. This is simply explained by the fact that we spend the winter at home and work doing a few things. However, the fashion industry takes a different tack and is happier over Christmas.

 

Every year, the secret to successfully incorporating feminine components into the fashion world blends modern, informal styling with feminine classic aesthetics. This is complemented by the glamour of summer domination. 

Wearing sneakers and simple t-shirts with gorgeously crafted summer hats for men and ladies, paired with beautiful sandals or a simple bag combo, enhances the attraction of summer fashion and gives style enthusiasts a genuinely contemporary and new image.

 

As summer 2025 progresses, it is not hyperbole to state that a wide range of fashion trends have influenced this season. Since social media and storefronts are crowded with dozens of competitive, trendy fashions, it's easy to become lost in the chaotic world of fashion. 

However, many fashion enthusiasts rush to the stores and choose what they find attractive. Even if many have lovely, fashion-designed clothing that they bought the previous summer, they still go shopping every summer.

 

Most women are naturally shy people; however, this isn't the case during summer fashion. Their closets are filled with cheerful maxi and miniskirts, and their airy, light silhouettes draw attention to the waist and give the ensemble a feminine touch. 

They look elegant, beautiful, and attractive, and their sweet perfumes provide a nostalgic touch with romantic summer looks. They go well with matched shoes, skirts, dresses, cotton trousers, or stretched jeans.

 

The secret to successfully incorporating feminine fashion components into one's appearance is to follow the current fashion trend. This season, the summer style that so many people adored has finally evolved into a new, sophisticated foundation rather than merely a fad. 

Sustainability is a major trend in contemporary fashion, and more significantly, companies are moving to more ecologically friendly and sustainable production techniques. Let's enjoy the summer of 2025 together.

The Italian men’s elegance fashion code: The power of blue jeans & brown shoes

 

The combination of blue jeans and brown shoes is amazing and attractive.

It is often said, if you go to Rome, you should follow what the Romans do. I don’t doubt this statement because, in addition to the custom of enjoying their delectable cuisine, whether you are a visitor or a tourist, you will adore and fall in love with the sophisticated fashion world of the Italians.  

 

I firmly feel that the Italians are at the forefront of contemporary fashion, Italian style. Since I've lived in Rome for a number of years, I've been in awe of Italian men's fashion. It wasn't until I was in Italy that I discovered how appealing it was for men to wear fashionable jeans with brown shoes.

 

Since brown shoes and blue jeans go so well together, you will never see an Italian wearing blue jeans with black shoes. All fashion reviewers stand silently in awe of the men's appearance. It is astounding how the Italians skillfully use the newest styles to convey a sense of casual attractiveness.

 

In a variety of conditions, the contemporary Italian style looks great. Since blue jeans and brown shoes are such a lovely combination, I must admit that I have hated wearing jeans with no other than brown shoes, and I am not surprised to see many non-Italian gentlemen worldwide, are dressing like Italians.

 

The sophistication of Italian men's attire not only makes them handsome and gentlemanly, but it also gives them a great deal of self-confidence. Everything they do reflects this inner confidence because in the fashion world, the Italians are never shy. Their posture, speech, facial expressions, gestures, and mannerisms reveal it.

 

You can see Italian guys wearing designer blue jeans and brown shoes on the streets of Rome, Naples, Milan, or any other Italian city. This combination not only looks great, but it also has a chic Italian fashion secret code that makes their girls fall in love.

The Fashion And Jokes The Coronavirus Came Along With

COVID-19 is a deadly virus that can't be underestimated, but along the way, many have taken it very easy in life with crazy fashions and unexpected events, as if the virus never existed. Frankly speaking, many think the death related to the pandemic is a hoax, made it look real by the media.

There was a time when many thought that the coronavirus didn't exist. The fact that you hardly see someone either sick or collapsing in the city, town, or anywhere but only on the news and television, you hear of the announcements of the number of deaths.

Some people start making fun of the disease with whatever they find amusing, while several funny videos were uploaded on YouTube.' It may be likely that since many from the initial stages didn't respect the coronavirus, led to the high rate of infections today.

But the fact is, the coronavirus is real, and before people acknowledge this to protect themselves or strictly observe the rules to prevent the spread of the disease, COVID-19 will not only kill thousands more people but also ruin the economy of many countries beyond remedy.

The coronavirus fashion is a new craze in many countries throughout Asia, Africa, Europe, and America. Some of the mouth masks are used as bikinis, while some females use them as breast protectors. While all these jokes are taking place, the virus, which doesn't discriminate, is on a deadly spree.

Well, probably making these jokes and fashion from the masks are some of the ways to prevent worries or psychological torture from taking over our lives; however, people need to be serious as well because the jokes are misleading people into not adequately protecting themselves.

Rome offers much more to tourists than the Colosseum

The capital of Italy, Rome, has existed since the Roman Empire dominated the Mediterranean coast in antiquity. The Roman emperors built one of the greatest cities in the world thanks to their conquests, scientific discoveries, and cultural contributions, and their legacy still inspires us today. Living in the city of Rome from 1990 to 1993 was an experience I cherished.

 

When I moved from Rome to Sacrofano, a stunning mountain village outside of Rome, I realized that a village in Rome refers to a peaceful residential area where people work in agriculture, animal husbandry, and dairy production, since in Africa, a village means something different. Every corner of Rome is lined with historical sites, some of which are hundreds of years old, while others are thousands of years old.

 

Rome is a thoughtfully designed city that can serve both residents and tourists. Even those without jobs now find it easier to find somewhere to have breakfast, lunch, and supper in Rome, thanks to the churches of Vatican City, especially Caritas, or humanitarian groups. Rome is a welcoming city, and Caritas will assist you in finding shoes and clothing if you are in need.

There are several fashion, pizza, and newspaper stores in Rome that people are accustomed to using to improve their everyday lives. Furthermore, some locations uncover fascinating facets of history that extend beyond the Roman Empire. For example, consider the Middle Ages, when conflicts among Italy's city-states were so frequent that it seemed fitting to fortify even the church.

 

The Colosseum, which has been a popular tourist destination in Rome for many years, is the first place that comes to mind for anyone traveling to or visiting the city. Aqueducts, highways, temples, palaces, and entire towns are among the magnificent structures that the vast Roman Empire left behind. Among them are numerous amphitheaters that have managed to hold onto their previous grandeur and beauty to this day.

 

In addition to the Colosseum, also known as "Il Colosseo," there are several places of attraction tourists can visit. Below are a few of them:

 

Vatican City, the Vatican Museums, the Sistine Chapel, St. Peter's Cathedral and St. Peter's Square, the Colosseum, the Arch of Constantine, the Roman Forum (note the Arch of Titus), the Capitol Museums, the Pantheon, the Castel Sant'Angelo, the Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Staircase, Villa Borghese (park and gallery), the Trastevere District, the Vittoriano in Piazza Venezia, and several other places.

 

Italians are as passionate about their cuisine as they are about fashion. The world of Italian fashion will show you how to win a man or woman over if you're not interested in fashion. Italian cuisine, ranging from the most basic to the most intricate, is as savory as the people's appealing dress code. Some of the most delicious delicacies to savor in Rome, or any Italian city, are listed below.

Pesto alla Genovese, lasagna, risotto, pizza, pasta, gnocchi, prosciutto di Parma, ribollita, bagna cauda, tortelli, ravioli Fiorentina, panzerotto fritto, arancini, polenta, focaccia, and minestrone, which is my favorite.

 

IS SUMMER A SEASON OR A FESTIVAL?

Mini-skirts: One of the fashion temptations during summer

There are only two seasons in West Africa, the dry and the wet, and sometimes the experience of the harmattan, a dry, dusty, cold North-East trade wind from December to February. 

Africa never misses the sun or summer, as it is known among the four seasons in Europe and America, because the sun blazes for nine months, accompanied by rainfall for three months.

Unfortunately, sometimes the rain fails to fall, and when it continues for a longer period, it means impending danger. The reason East Africa is often threatened by the worst drought is. Rwanda, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Zambia, Somalia, etc, have all experienced the effects of drought.

The sun in Africa is used to doing many things, including drying washed clothes, preserving foods, and on health issues, good for the skin. Since the sun is very common in Africa, they don’t see or value it as something special, but when summer arrives in Europe and America, it’s like they have seen magic or god.

In fact, summer is just a season, but what accompanies it in Europe and America seems like a season is a festival. Europeans and Americans go crazy with all kinds of dresses and fashions, which may baffle you.

Mini-skirts, the exposure of long beautiful legs and other parts of the body which can steal your attention and put you into temptation are some of the common scenes in the city, shopping malls, restaurants, cinema halls, etc, and at the naked beaches.

Europe is now entering the summer, but just yesterday the beautiful weather brought some fashions that may be stupefied to see. The question is: What are we going to see when summer fully arrives? I will definitely steal a glance, but I hope I will not be caught by any lady.

GREAT BRITAIN: WHAT MAKES THIS COUNTRY TO BE GREAT?

Many British teenagers live on alcohol in Britain.

Frankly speaking, during my primary school education in Africa, I became fascinated with the country called 'Great Britain." Because travelers who have visited that country and those ready to go to London demonstrate certain things that make them elites. 

Truly, one is always given a special welcome, recognition, and attention in Africa when he or she returns from Britain.


When I arrived in Europe in 1986, what I used to read in their newspapers pushed me to find out what events or historical facts made this country be called 'Great Britain. 

Even though there is much crime in Africa, I believe that in Europe, Britain leads to criminal activities. Forgery, scams, falsification of documents and letters with the intention to defraud, credit card fraud, embezzlement, stealing, and rape are what make headlines in Britain.

Many people think the Dutch are stingy, but Britain is number one when it comes to stinginess. The whole world knows about this. They can't even leave a cent or penny behind for a cleaner when they lodge at hotels. 

It was in Northampton, Britain, that I saw two sisters quarreling over a can of Coca-Cola, which I had never witnessed in Africa, a Third World Country. Teenage pregnancy and alcoholism make headlines.

In fashion, Britain. Comes last. Even though they are famous fashion shops, the British dress shabbily. They wore poor, inferior shoes. Obesity is taking its toll on them. 

The police can't handle or cope with the surging waves of crime in the country. Stealing vehicles is on the rise. The country still drives on the wrong side of the road. 

The salary scale for general workers is very low. People rush in and out of underground stations as if the devil is chasing them.

I read recently that British undercover police are allowed to sleep with women they spy on as a source to gather information. Who is the police boss in that country? 

Is that the right way to gather information during an investigation?  To sleep with women as a source for information gathering during an investigation is a crime.

Maybe I'm completely wrong. But I don't see anything great about this country. I believe it's one of the most restless countries to live in the world. Wages are paid weekly, and all bills are paid weekly. 

Many people are roaming roofless, and drug addiction has taken its toll on many. Great Britain? Not at all, it's 'Hell Britain.'

CIGARETTE SMOKING: A FASHION FOR TEENAGERS?

31 May: No Tobacco Day


Thousands of people today, including teenagers, are heavy smokers due to various reasons such as nervousness, pressure, frustration, and stress. 


Smoking has claimed and continues to claim thousands of lives yearly, that it become an urgent issue to the World Health Organization (WHO) to institute a "No Tobacco Day" on May 31, 1987, to discourage and eradicate cigarette smoking.

Despite the warning on cigarette boxes, smokers choose to satisfy their desire unconcerned. The cigarette has been known to contain eighteen different poisons. 

The two most destructive are tar, a carcinogenic or cancer-producing substance, and nicotine. Some of these attack the delicate membranes of the windpipes, and those that find themselves in the bloodstream interfere with its normal circulation.

It's now like a fashion to see teenagers between the ages of 10 and 15 holding cigarettes at hideouts or in public places. It's like a competition. When you ask any teenager the reason for smoking, they smile away. 

Those capable of giving you an answer say, "They called you a baby when you didn't join the group". Tobacco smoking is said to cause many ailments as emphysema, tuberculosis, night sweats, chest pains, wheezing, loss of weight, cancer, and complications in pregnancy.

Since the campaign against smoking began, the WHO has introduced many measures to prevent smoking in buses, airplanes, trains, restaurants, and other public places. But many see this campaign against smoking as a bother or nuisance. 

They only realize the mistakes they had made when a disease is diagnosed. Cigarette smoking is not an expensive luxury but a slow, silent murderer.

A person who gives up smoking does something worthwhile for their health. But many smokers have a real battle to conquer when it comes to stopping the habit. Here are a few recommended steps to refrain from smoking. 

Staying away from other smokers as much as possible will reduce the temptation to smoke and strengthen your resolve not to start again. 

Instead of smoking, a heavy smoker should rather become a vigorous campaigner against the use of tobacco in any form. This may change the attitude of friends toward smoking.

Taking plenty of exercise, including deep breathing and long walks in the open air daily, will clean the lungs and improve one's sense of well-being. 

Eating regularly and not attempting to lose weight will gradually break the tobacco habit. A smoker who wants to quit must avoid highly seasoned foods, alcohol, tea, and coffee. These can easily influence one to crave smoking.

Drinking enough water, at least ten glasses a day, helps to reduce the craving for tobacco. Many may not believe this, but try and see that prayer is the answer to many problems. The power of Jesus is stronger than the hurricane. It is the same power that can change your life.

If you can try all or of these recommendations, you will see yourself as a different person. After your bitter experience in the dark, there is a bright light waiting for you at the end of the tunnel.

What makes Kente cloth a symbol of Ghanaian heritage?

 

Assorted Kente cloths in Ghana

Ghana's Kente cloth is acknowledged worldwide as a national treasure and a symbol of the nation's rich artistic heritage, having a deep cultural, historical, and symbolic value. Through the Ashantis' history, Kente clothing and goods have historically, traditionally, and culturally elevated Ghana to enhance its tourism industry.  

 

Its elaborate patterns and vivid colors reflect deep philosophical ideas, proverbs, historical events, and spiritual beliefs. Originally reserved for royalty and religious rites, Kente symbolizes wealth, high social standing, and cultural refinement. Its global significance and the necessity of its preservation were confirmed in December 2024 when it was included in UNESCO's Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage.

 

Ghana began initiating legal action in November 2025 to protect Kente through geographical indication designation and intellectual property, with the goal of preserving its cultural legacy and guaranteeing that local craftspeople profit from its widespread use. The Ashanti and Ewe peoples of Ghana are closely associated with kente cloth, which dates back to the eleventh century and developed through trading networks that brought in opulent materials like silk.

 

In Kente, every pattern and hue has a distinct symbolic meaning. For instance, crimson stands for the blood of the deceased, green for mineral wealth, black for spiritual awareness, and gold for rank. The fabric is worn as a potent declaration of cultural identity and heritage at significant life events, including weddings, funerals, graduations, and customary rites of passage.

 

The Ghanaian town of Bonwire is regarded as the center of Kente weaving, a craft that has been passed down through the years through apprenticeship within weaving families. Kente, which was formerly only worn by royalty, is now extensively worn in Ghana and by individuals of African descent globally, serving as a symbol of African pride and identity and a link to their African heritage.

 

Kente fabric is thought to have originated in the 17th century AD from old Akan weaving methods that date back to the 11th century. Kente eventually reveals that the exquisitely woven fabric came from Ghana, despite its association with the Ivory Coast culture. Ghana's traditional Kente cloth, which is worn at ceremonies, festivals, and public gatherings, reflects the country's renown as the first in Sub-Saharan Africa to achieve freedom.

Renowned weavers are increasingly studying kente designs, which give each textile its own uniqueness and go beyond simple fashion. Kente continues to be a source of pride for both Ghanaians and Africans living abroad. For instance, during celebrations of African American heritage, like Black History Month, African Americans proudly display Kente to emphasize their ties to the African continent.

 

African Americans frequently wear it to demonstrate their understanding of or support for "Black Pride." As a result, the United States and other parts of the world currently dominate the global market for African art. In the early 1960s, the government of what was then Czechoslovakia invited journalists from all over the world to the country.

 

It was no surprise that the Ghanaian journalists from the Guinea Press, now known as the Ghanaian Times, won the tournament with their beautiful traditional Kente attire.
