fashion collage of the 2025 trend sardine trend including Staud clothing and bags, a sardine-print tee, sardine keychain, and influencers like Emmanuelle Koffi and Monikh Dale wearing earrings and necklaces,

One look at the fashion landscape for summer 2025, and there is one whimsical trend that stands out above the rest: sardine everything. Recently, it was all about tomatoes, but now these tinned fish have taken over everything from our cupboards to our closets. I, for one, have completely embraced this, having an affinity for tinned fish and a personal connection to them since childhood.

Below, I rounded up a curated list of the best sardine-themed finds online right now, at a variety of price points ranging from Bottega Veneta to J.Crew and H&M. You'll discover everything from Staud's viral beaded bags to fun graphic tees to a variety of chic accessories. The jewelry alone is worth checking out. Thirty-five fashion people-approved sardine picks are just a scroll away.
