Romanticizing Summer With Abi Hoffman & Michael Kors
The new Michael Kors spring/summer 2025 eyewear collection echoes Abi Hoffman's penchant for blending styles, with pieces that mesh timeless elegance with contemporary cool.
Entrepreneur, influencer, and model Abi Hoffman’s summer style is all about striking a balance between relaxed ease and bold contrasts — think: a vintage lace top styled with structured bottoms, or a flirty sundress paired with combat boots. Regardless of the outfit combination, sunglasses are a key part of completing any look.
The new Michael Kors spring/summer 2025 eyewear collection echoes Hoffman’s penchant for blending styles, with pieces that mesh timeless elegance with contemporary cool. Retro cat-eye shades are seen alongside bold geometric pairs, forming a range that speaks to a wide variety of fashion personalities and occasions. “These Michael Kors silhouettes effortlessly complement the tension I like to create in a look,” she says, citing how well they work with her go-to staples: soft tailoring, vintage-inspired details, and elevated evening jackets for a pop of color or print. “Each pair caters to a specific mood I’m channeling.”
Whether in the city or on holiday, sunglasses don’t leave Hoffman’s side: “I plan on pairing the bold black frames with a clean, minimalist outfit for a summer lunch, wearing aviators on a stroll through Central Park with my dog, and will opt for the sleek eyeglasses to add a chic touch to an afternoon working from home.” That versatility both in selection and styling is what makes Michael Kors’ latest offering worth gravitating towards. 
For lunch in the city, a gray summertime suit set is “given a refined and sharp look” with the Rhodes sunglasses, Hoffman says. The on-trend narrow lenses lend an effortlessly cool vibe, while the oversized temples, with a metallic Empire cutout, pack a punch. Styling the black shades alongside pointed-toe kitten heels, oversized gold earrings, and a chic top-handle bag makes ladylike fashion feel totally fresh.
Nothing says summertime like an all-white outfit. A delicate lace blouse and skirt are accompanied by chic white ballet flats and a summery raffia bag — an ideal combination for strolling through Central Park with her dog, or taking a break to lay down on a blanket under a tree. For better protection from sunny days, Hoffman says “the Buenos Aires sunglasses, with their amber-tinted lenses, capture the essence of a beachy afternoon” — even in the middle of Manhattan. Inspired by Michael Kors’ Astor Link jewelry, the shades offer a fashion-forward take on minimalism, adding a gilded accent to daytime wear.
As Hoffman shares: “The Puglia eyeglasses have a sleek, refined shape that adds a chic touch to a workwear look.” A tailored black button-up with high-waisted silk pants in rich olive green, plus a timeless pair of rectangular frames, is her go-to uniform for a productive afternoon. Reading, working and sifting through magazines in her living room is met with an outfit that feels relaxed and comfortable, while still being put-together.
