With the luxury industry in turmoil and challenges like tariffs and rising costs facing most fashion retailers, it hasn’t been easy determining which brands are resonating with consumers this year.

But Lyst’s Q3 2025 Index offers some perspective on the “hottest brands and products” over the last three months. The index, which analyzes shopper behavior from “more than 160 million annual users across thousands of brands and stores,” featured French luxury retailer Yves Saint Laurent emerging at the top of the list for the first time.

In second, third, and fourth place were Miu Miu, COS, and The Row, respectively. Coach, Prada, and Bottega Veneta followed closely, snagging the fifth, sixth, and seventh spots. Rounding out the top 10 were Loewe, Ralph Lauren, and Chloé.

Though Kim Kardashian’s Skims ranked lower at No. 15, the brand saw a 271% YoY increase in demand.

As for Saint Laurent, its iconic Le Loafer was a standout among shoppers searching for loafers. Other products making waves this season included Havaianas’s flip-flops and COS’s chunky cashmere sweater, both of which landed among Lyst’s “hottest products.”

According to Lyst, the current landscape “rewards clear creative direction and consistent execution.”

“The top brands this quarter reflect what we’re seeing across the Lyst platform: Shoppers want to feel confident in their choices,” Emma McFerran, CEO of Lyst, said in a statement. “Customers are shopping with intention, wishlisting versatile pieces that work across seasons, and gravitating towards brands with a clear identity.”

Although the rankings shifted since the previous quarter, retailers like Saint Laurent, COS, Coach, The Row, and Miu Miu continue to dominate, remaining in the top 10 of Lyst’s quarterly index.

“Fashion fans appreciate a clear, consistent vision that is powerfully articulated by a great, recognizable product,” Katy Lubin, VP of brand and communications at Lyst, previously told Retail Brew. “Customers also increasingly care about value, and the inclusion of brands like Coach and COS alongside the luxury players who have dominated the index for years, is a signal of the shifting landscape.”

This report was originally published by Retail Brew.
