What happens when you give the same prompt to eight different AIs? This list of summer looks is the answer.
I asked eight different AIs—some world-famous, some a little more niche—using the exact same prompt to generate their vision of the hottest summer style for 2025. What followed was a whirlwind of weirdness, accidental retro throwbacks, sci-fi fever dreams, and, occasionally, genuinely stylish surprises. Each AI interpreted “trendy” in its own special way: some went for garden-party safe, some channeled vacation chaos, a few took “futuristic” way too literally, and at least one basically invented a whole new subgenre of cybernetic club kid. Below, you’ll find the full AI runway rundown—is this really what robots think humans do when it’s 90 degrees and there’s a pool nearby?
Sora: The Resort Romance Nostalgia Trip
Sora clearly spent too much time binge-watching vintage Italian vacation movies. We get a stunning, sun-soaked terrace scene: a guy in a see-through mesh tank with a lime-green crossbody and loose linen pants, next to a woman in a cheerfully radioactive yellow dress complete with an oversized rosette and a woven basket bag. It’s giving Amalfi Coast by way of Pinterest boards circa 2017—if Pinterest boards had more abs and better lighting. Sora’s styling says, “I want to be relaxed, but please look at my accessories,” and, honestly, it’s working. If you’re craving a Mediterranean daydream with just enough boldness to stand out at brunch, Sora might have your 2025 look dialed. If only real life came with this much vacation energy.
Adobe Firefly Image 4: Dressed Up and Drama-Ready (But Wait—Is That the ’90s?)
Firefly came to play with a vivid floral mini-dress, red heels, gold jewelry, and a sharp black suit with a pop of yellow—so far, so dramatic. But honestly, the whole scene (including that shiny backdrop) feels more like a 1990s prom than a “trendy summer 2025” situation. There’s some retro cool here, sure, but it’s not quite the summer of the future I was expecting. The vibes are “formal family portrait, but everyone wishes they were at a backyard BBQ instead.” Not a flop, but if you asked for next-level summer trends and got this, you’d probably check your calendar for a time glitch.
ChatGPT 4o: Cottagecore Grows Up (But Not Too Much)
ChatGPT serves us a masterclass in understated summer charm: mint-green shorts, a warm orange knit shirt, a playful tie-dye sundress, and pops of color everywhere. The models look like they’re about to launch an indie music festival, or maybe host a wellness retreat where the main activity is drinking iced matcha in perfectly coordinated outfits. There’s a sense of “We’re laid-back, but our sandals still match our shirts.” If you want your summer look to be both fashion-forward and approachable (think: TikTok trendsetter who actually pays rent), ChatGPT’s vision is spot on. No weird extra limbs, no AI hallucinations—just straight-up wearable fun.
Microsoft Copilot: Summer Boss Energy, Unlocked
Microsoft Copilot wants you to know you can do summer and business casual—simultaneously. A sage tank and shorts plus a cream crossbody for him, paired with her retro-chic paisley dress and a brick-red linen blazer. It’s that magic zone between “off-duty architect” and “Instagram travel couple.” Props for the crisp color blocking and subtle layering. The look feels real and intentional, like these two are always on their way to some kind of creative brainstorming brunch. Maybe a bit too polished for sweltering July, but if you’ve got a rooftop soirée with a vague dress code, Copilot has your blueprint.
Google Gemini 2.5 Pro: Generic Garden Party, Sponsored by Beige
Gemini gives us summer basics that could easily blend into any “mid-age garden party” photo album from the past decade. She’s in a flowy white slip dress with lace; he’s in a basic knit polo and green shorts, looking just one missing cardigan-around-the-neck away from shouting “let’s uncork the vintage wine!” Yes, it’s comfortable. Yes, it’s classic. But trendy? Not even close. This is the kind of fashion pick you get from an AI that knows how to dress you for comfort but never quite gets the memo on what’s actually current. Safe, inoffensive, and just a little bit boring. If your goal is to blend in at a neighbor’s outdoor wine tasting, Gemini is your (algorithmic) stylist.
Leonardo Lucid Realism: Quiet Luxury, Actually Likeable
Leonardo’s Lucid Realism gets “quiet luxury” right in a way that feels genuinely wearable. Picture chilled earth tones, soft-washed denim, an easy oversized bralette and jacket, and sandals you’d actually want in your closet. The whole look is pure effortless Copenhagen-cool—perfect for anyone who wants to look smart, relaxed, and just a little bit artsy. Both models could’ve strolled straight out of an indie film screening: intentionally laid-back, slightly creative, and totally believable. This is nighttime style done right—cool, comfortable, and ideal for when the sun goes down and the city lights come up. It’s one of those rare AI fashion moments that nails that elusive “I just threw this on” vibe, and honestly, you could see these outfits showing up in any style capital around the globe.
Deepseek + DALL-E: AI-Generated Fever Dream (With Light-Up Shoes)
This one’s special—and a little meta. Deepseek couldn’t generate an image itself, but instead replied with a hyper-detailed fashion and setting prompt that honestly read more like a scene out of a cyberpunk novel than a style forecast. Picture this: liquid metallic shirts, transparent sandals with neon-lit soles, biomimetic scale textures, and a floating drone for the vibe. Deepseek even suggested I copy-paste this script straight into DALL-E—which is exactly what I did. The result? A full-blown sci-fi fantasy that’s half high fashion, half Black Mirror episode. The models are perched by a pool with a megacity backdrop, draped in techno-futurist looks that could double as nightclub lighting rigs. The shoes alone might qualify as small household appliances. Is this what we’ll actually wear in 2025? Maybe only at a Berlin rave, but you have to respect an AI that goes this weird. Special mention for pure audacity—and for making us all genuinely curious about what a “3D-knit mesh shacket” even feels like.
Openart Flux Kontext: Summer Fashion, or Just…No
Sorry Openart, but this one’s a hard pass. The men’s look is pure “Kid Rock on vacation”—mirror aviator shades, a single earring, pastel shorts, and a plaid blazer that feels more dollar store than designer. The woman’s outfit? It’s what happens when an AI just types “sexy girl summer” and calls it a day: midriff, deep neckline, cliché jewelry, and a hat that screams “tourist trap.” Together, they look less like trendsetters and more like the couple who just bought a jet ski on credit—giving off “most popular at the trailer park” energy instead of anything remotely fashion-forward. If this is what Openart thinks we’ll be wearing in 2025, bring on 2026.
