The summer of 2025 in Spain is marked by the return of the legendary Adlib style, which originated in Ibiza. This fashion philosophy, born in the free-spirited atmosphere of the 1970s, is making a comeback, offering a blend of relaxation and sophistication. Its core principle, formulated decades ago—“dress as you like, but with taste”—takes on new meaning today, merging the island’s artisanal heritage with current trends.
The main promoter of this style this season has been Queen Letizia. During the traditional August reception for the Balearic Islands authorities at the Palacio de Marivent in Palma, she appeared in a white dress by Ibiza designer Tony Bonet. This appearance confirmed the high status of Adlib fashion, showing that bohemian chic is appropriate even at official events.
Contemporary designers are actively reinterpreting Ibiza classics. In their 2025 collections, brands such as Charo Ruiz and World Family Ibiza are prioritizing eco-friendly fabrics, embellished with delicate floral embroidery. The color palette remains true to tradition: white and cream shades dominate, complemented by golden accents that evoke the island’s sunsets. Linen, cotton, and intricate crochet continue to be the key materials for creating the Adlib summer look, providing both comfort and elegance.
To seamlessly incorporate this trend into your wardrobe, stylists recommend opting for all-white outfits, complemented by raffia accessories or statement jewelry. Adlib style is versatile: during the day it pairs well with flat sandals and a spacious shopper bag, while in the evening it can easily be transformed into a chic look with heels and an elegant clutch. Romantic details such as embroidered flowers and delicate ruffles add a special touch.
Spanish celebrities are already showcasing how to wear this summer’s top trend. Actress Paula Echevarría goes for a romantic boho-style dress with semi-transparent panels and a Bardot neckline, creating the look of a modern nymph. Meanwhile, influencer María García de Jaime demonstrates how to refresh a monochrome white ensemble. She pairs a two-piece set with bold accessories — a bag and sandals in pistachio green.
Adlib fashion in 2025 is more than just clothing; it’s a reflection of the ‘quiet luxury’ concept, where authenticity, quality, and the story behind each item are valued over flashiness. The main advantage of this trend is that you don’t have to be on the Balearic Islands to embrace it — its easygoing, free-spirited vibe is perfect anywhere in the world.
