10 Fashion Trends Defining Spring 2025

The fashion world is buzzing as designers drop the trends for Spring 2025, from Stella McCartney and Tanya Taylor to Ralph Lauren and more. While we wait for the latest from Paris Fashion Week, these ten standout styles aren’t just trends — they’re the ones to watch this season:

1. Pastel Power

Perfect for both day and night looks, soothing shades are on-trend with mint green and powder pink leading the palette. Dresses like the Significant Other Parisa Dress, blazers, trousers and ballet flats in these calming hues bring a touch of elegance and serenity to your wardrobe. Embrace monochromatic looks or mix and match with neutral tones for a chic ensemble that exudes confidence.

2. Romantic Ruffles

Add a dash of whimsy to your style with delicate ruffled dresses and blouses. This fashion trend is all about soft layers and feminine details, making it ideal for spring weddings, garden parties or casual weekends out. Pair a ruffled blouse with tailored pants for a balanced look, or opt for a ruffled maxi dress to make a graceful statement. 

3. The Return of the ’70s

Retro vibes are back as the ’70s make a fashionable return. Think bohemian paisley prints, rich suede fabrics and classic brown or black leather pieces. Incorporate flared jeans, suede skirts or leather jackets into your outfits to channel that nostalgic yet timeless appeal. 

4. Sporty Chic

Elevate your activewear with the sporty chic spring trend that effortlessly blends fashion with function. Sleek joggers, tailored bomber jackets and stylish activewear pieces make it easy to transition from a morning workout to a lunch date. Opt for breathable fabrics and streamlined silhouettes that offer comfort without sacrificing style, like the Pleated Mid-Rise Skort from English Factory

5. Boudoir Dressing

Infuse a touch of sultriness into your spring wardrobe with boudoir-inspired pieces. Sheer fabrics, delicate lace and lingerie-inspired designs bring a quiet luxury to your outfits, like the Bronx and Banco Dahlia Gown. Layer a lace camisole under a blazer for a hint of intrigue, or choose a sheer blouse paired with high-waisted trousers for a sophisticated ensemble. 

6. All-White Ensembles

Ivory and cream create a pristine palette that exudes sophistication. Whether it’s a tailored white suit, a flowing maxi skirt or crisp linen separates, monochromatic white outfits make a bold yet effortless statement. Play with textures and layers to add depth, and accessorize with gold jewelry for a touch of elegance.

7. Bold Monochromatic Looks

If pastels and whites aren’t your thing, consider going bold with monochromatic outfits in vibrant colors like fiery orange or electric blue. This creates a powerful visual impact that’s sure to steal the show. You can even experiment with different shades and textures within the same color family to add interest.

8. Fringes Galore

Add movement and flair with fringe-adorned pieces, from dresses and jackets to bags and accessories. This playful spring trend captures attention and adds a sense of fun to any outfit. Pair a fringe jacket with Levi’s jeans or Baum und Pferdgarten Nicette Cheetah Print Pants for a casual look or choose a fringe dress for a night out.

9. Floral Prints and Dresses

Spring wouldn’t be complete without floral prints, and this year they’re getting a modern twist. Bold and abstract floral designs spruce up classic styles, making them fresher than ever. Think floral maxi dresses, like the Shoshanna Fiona Gown, or skirts paired with solid Louna tops to balance the look. 

10. Layers on Layers

Layering isn’t just practical for unpredictable spring weather — it’s a major trend this season. Try styling the Marine Layer Sherpa Moto Jacket or the Rosetta Getty x RTR Layered Faux Leather Trench Coat over a slip dress. Or, pair a cropped cardigan, like the WEWOREWHAT Cinched Waist Cardigan, with a silky cami for a chic, dimensional look. Experiment with textures like lightweight knits, linen and chiffon to add depth without extra bulk. 

Style Smarter For the Freshest Looks

Embracing the latest aesthetics is just the beginning — knowing how to style them makes all the difference. Here are tips to make every spring trend work for you: 

  • Go for bold accessories: Elevate your outfits with bold accessories like the Liffner Pillow Shoulder Bag, colorful sunglasses or chunky jewelry. These pieces add extra flair to any ensemble.
  • Layer smart: Cozy cardigans, flowing wraps and light jackets like the Samantha Sipos Tan Trench Coat can help keep you comfortable in spring’s unpredictable weather. Mix and match these layers to adjust effortlessly from warm afternoons to cooler evenings.
  • Choose comfortable fabrics: Opt for breathable materials like cotton or linen on sunny days to stay cool and fresh. For those brisk mornings or nights, incorporate soft knits like the Rails Harris Striped Polo Sweater to provide warmth without compromising style. 
  • Mix textures: Mixing textures creates visual interest that makes even the simplest outfits feel runway-ready. Pair flowy fabrics like the Prabal Gurung x RTR Printed Tiered Dress with structured accessories such as a tailored blazer or a sleek belt. 
  • Consider your footwear: Versatile shoes like comfy ballet flats or strappy sandals are perfect for daytime adventures, while sleek heels elevate your ensemble for evening events.
