If polar vortex temperatures have you dreaming of a spring thaw and the wardrobe that comes with it, you’re in luck. Fresh, wearable fashion is on the horizon, by way of standout colors, a renewed sense of softness, and updated minimalism — bringing a sense of newness and with personal style being paramount. We studied the Spring 2025 runway shows from Paris, Italy, and New York to bring you insight into the trends you should incorporate into your wardrobe this spring.
Elevated Florals
From petite rosettes to bodacious blooms, florals (appropriately) were all over the spring collections. Appearing on all styles — from skirts to dresses to tops — these vibrant patterns brought a fresh, lively energy to the runway. Choose from delicate, vintage-inspired prints to bold, oversized blossoms; there is something for everyone.
Sailor Stripes
Making waves this season are Breton stripes and all things maritime. Navy and cream stripes, nodding to coastal prep, are a quintessential spring/summer go-to. These stripes were popularized by Coco Chanel in 1917; she transformed them from the traditional uniform of the French Navy to a chic choice for those holidaying on the Cote D’Azur. Breton stripes remain a timeless pick this season.
Get the Blues
Cerulean, icy blue, midnight, and bright cobalt — whether worn head to toe or as an accent, these cool colors are mood-boosting and optimistic. Opt for a soft cashmere sweater in sapphire for early spring and when the temperatures rise, opt for baby blue linen pieces to keep you cool.
Boho Reboot
Boho is back – albeit a bit more polished by way of romantic ruffles, rich embroidery, suede jackets, and accessories. Opt for looks that feel effortless yet intentional by pairing pieces with edgier moto boots and studded accessories.
Red Hot
Turn up the temp with color. As a staple hue of seasons past, red and all of its iterations are repeating themselves for spring. From bold cardinal red to deep crimson, this color is easy to incorporate into your wardrobe through statement pieces like dresses, or add pops of the color with accessories such as bags and shoes.
90’s Simplicity
Think of style icons like Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy and collections by Calvin Klein and Donna Karan from the early ‘90’s. Grounded in neutrals and timeless silhouettes, minimalism for 2025 blends structure and fluidity. This approach results in clothes you genuinely want to wear, embodying the ultimate in cool simplicity.
