There’s a particular kind of summer that lives in our minds long after the tan fades. A sun-drenched reverie of Capri’s glistening coves and Cinque Terre’s pastel cliffside towns. From the lightness of linen brushing against sun-warmed skin to the soft click of leather loafers on ancient cobblestones, it’s a season painted in gold. With its Full Summer 2025 collection, Tod’s invites us into this languid elegance, a tribute to Italian craftsmanship that's both refined and relaxed.
In this latest chapter, the brand once again proves that timelessness doesn’t mean staying still. It’s the evolution of elegance, where meticulous Italian craftsmanship meets a fresh, tactile intimacy. Each piece in the collection feels lived-in, the kind of effortless charm that only comes when design is guided by both tradition and instinct.
At the helm of this season’s edit is the Tod’s iconic Gommino, reimagined with a seafaring spirit. The Gommino Barca merges timeless loafer design with the relaxed sensibility of a boat shoe, anchored in a soft yet structured silhouette. Handcrafted in supple Copert calfskin leather and rich suede, the Gommino Barca masterfully balances structure with ease.
The lace-up detailing, a subtle nod to classic boat shoes, channels a laid-back, playful Riviera charm without compromising the House’s commitment to detail, while the oversized Bubble Gommino pebbles on the soles provide the signature tactility Tod’s devotees know by feel alone. Available in semi-glossy Copert calfskin or butter-soft suede, it’s a shoe that carries itself with quiet confidence. Whether styled with crisp white trousers and an open-collar shirt or worn sockless with rolled-up chinos, the Gommino Barca transitions seamlessly from city streets to coastal lunches.
For those who revel in the beauty of a well-paced afternoon or an impromptu coastal escape, Tod’s Rafia loafers embody casual refinement with Italian ease. A visual and tactile contrast to the polish of calfskin, the raffia detailing—encircling the seam between upper and sole—brings a tactile warmth that recalls wicker chairs on tiled verandas, linen shirts stirred by coastal breezes, and the quiet hush of golden afternoons. The silhouette is soft and unstructured, yet unmistakably Tod’s, blending artisan leatherwork with a breezy lightness that feels tailor-made for summer.
These are the shoes you reach for when you want to look composed without a second thought. They work just as well with cotton shorts as they do with wide-leg trousers. You could wear them to a Sunday market, or to a friend’s terrace dinner, or on one of those days when you’re not quite sure where you’ll end up, only that you’ll want to be comfortable when you get there.
And then there’s the Tod’s Tab sneaker, made for those who seek the crisp lines of modernity, yet still yearn for a touch of nostalgia. From the bold box sole to the embossed side band and the signature pebbles discreetly placed on the heel, every element is thoughtfully executed. But it’s the unpadded tongue—a quiet homage to the vintage T sneaker—that steals the spotlight. It's an understated flourish that offers just enough retro charm to start a conversation, without ever shouting for attention.
Offered in three nuanced colourways, the Tab sneaker dances between rich full-grain leather, soft nubuck, and airy technical fabric—a trio that feels as good as it looks. It’s the kind of sneaker that doesn’t scream “athleisure” but rather whispers, “I know how to do casual, properly.” And isn’t that the point? To find pieces that move with you, not just physically, but emotionally too. That catches the light in just the right way when you’re walking down a sunlit street.
Because at its heart, Tod’s Full Summer 2025 isn’t simply about shoes. It’s about the atmosphere, the pace, the mood, the feeling you carry when dressed just right. You don’t need to be on the Amalfi Coast to slip into this world, but each piece brings a little of that Mediterranean magic wherever you are. And truly, isn’t that what summer and style ought to be?
The Tod's Full Summer 2025 collection is now available online and in boutiques.
