For the Spring Summer 2025 season, Solid Homme‘s collection, titled “AFTERHOURS,” departs from the strict urban boundaries that have long defined the brand. This collection breaks with convention, reconfiguring its signature uniformity and embracing a new sense of exploration. “AFTERHOURS” lies in the spirit of discovery, both inward and outward, as it captures the journey of an explorer forging new paths and immersing themself in uncharted territories. This season breathes with the tension of industrial hiking gear paired with soft propositions like crochet and sumptuous prints on terry cloth, which are closely linked to surf culture.
The urge for discovery that defines this collection has made a shift in Solid Homme’s approach, while main fabrics such as tweed and familiar base colors in various shades of grey remain integral. This duality fuels a sense of excitement that pulses beneath the surface, reflecting the anticipation of a hiker about to begin his ascent.
Relaxed silhouettes dominate the collection, with multi-layered styling that is both practical and intriguing. Flashes of skin subtly hint at the collection’s outdoor inspiration, grounding it in the realm of exploration. Trekking vests crafted from suede, nylon shorts worn as undergarments, and safari hats become essential tools that amplify the change of environment. These elements embrace unpredictability and highlight their adaptive qualities.
Solid Homme juxtaposes hiking, surfing, and running influences in each look, with pieces like suits paired with hiking sticks, technical trek shorts with terry cloth hoodies, crochet tops and shorts with nylon jackets, and mesh knit sweaters with tasseled jacquard denim bags. The inclusion of scuba sock boots and sun-faded shades of olive, dusty purple, apple green, peach, and baby blue renders the collection in organic gradients.
The Spring Summer 2025 collection by Solid Homme is a study in juxtaposition and the embrace of the unknown. It plays with notions of practicality by departing from familiar territory and returning to a natural habitat. The journey is elevated through the lens of a new utilitarian character, where the fusion of industrial and soft elements creates a unique aesthetic. Our photographer Borislav Utjesinovic captured the collection exclusively for DSCENE Magazine. See the images in the Gallery below:
