The influence of television on fashion trends is stronger than ever, with HBO’s hit series Industry shaping the latest sartorial phenomenon: ‘CorpCore.’ As the show enters its third season, its depiction of office culture is steering the direction of return-to-workwear, akin to how Succession popularised the ‘quiet luxury’ trend.
For Resort 2025, the CorpCore trend is evident across numerous collections, reflecting a blend of professionalism and contemporary style. Here’s a rundown of the standout CorpCore looks from the Resort 25 season:
Burberry: Under Daniel Lee’s creative direction, Burberry presents a d.b. belted trench coat with a storm shield and epaulets, paired with overlong plaid trousers and a striking red leather tote bag.
Dawei: Dawei showcases a textured grey linen suit featuring an oversized jacket, wide-leg trousers, and a coordinating vest, complemented by black slip-on flats.
Daniel Del Core: Del Core’s collection highlights a cream wool d.b. jacket with shoulder pads and a matching midi skirt, layered over a sheer nude turtleneck and silver pumps.
Erdem Moralioglu: Erdem’s look includes a brown and cream plaid overcoat with floral embroidery, worn over a white shirt, black trousers, and a black tie.
