Solid Homme SS25 at Paris Fashion Week

Solid Homme SS25 / Spring Summer 2025 at Paris Fashion Week entitled Afterhours

A departure from the city, new beginnings: For Spring Summer 2025, Solid Homme leaves behind the severity of urban boundaries, breaking with convention, and reconfiguring its quintessential mindscape of uniformity, inherent to the brand’s DNA.

Here, this unique disposition reminds us of the beauty of setting off and exploring the unfamiliar. A sequence of honest first discoveries – inwards and outwards – an explorer forging new paths, caught in the act of immersing himself in unmapped surroundings. Solid Homme SS25 collection respires with the tension of industrial hiking gear and sopropositions, such as crochet and sumptuous prints on terry cloth, linked to surf culture.

The urge for discovery at the heart of this season has instigated a shift – glimpses of core fabrics such as tweed and familiar base colours in various shades of grey still form the touchstones of Solid Homme, subtly interweaving the brand’s past and present identities, a sense of excitement fuelled by this duality is pulsating beneath the surface. A hiker about to begin his ascend.

Throughout, the silhouettes are relaxed. Multi-layered styling gestures are both practical and intriguing, and flashes of skin hint at Solid Homme SS25 / Spring Summer 2025 collection’s provenance, firmly rooted in the exploration of the outdoors. Trekking vests cut from suede, nylon shorts worn as undergarments and safari hats become tools, amplifying the change of environment, bracing its unpredictabilities and making use of their adaptive qualities.

A suit with a hiking stick, technical trek shorts with a terry cloth hoodie, a crochet top and shorts with a nylon jacket, a mesh knit sweater with a tasseled jacquard denim bag, scuba sock boots – codes of hiking, surfing and running influences are reiterated with every look and sun-faded shades of olive, dusty purple, apple green, peach and baby blue render the collection in organic gradients, representing the journey itself. Darkness turns to light on the trails.

A study of juxtaposition and embracing the unknown. Solid Homme Spring Summer 2025 resets notions of practicality through the departure from acquainted territory back to a natural habitat – a journey elevated through the lens of a new utilitarian character.
