10 Key Spring 2025 Fashion Trends You Need to Know Now

A new season means a new start—most excitingly, perhaps, for our collective closets. (I have a feeling you can relate.) With the first major spring 2025 fashion trends hitting the runways and streets, there’s plenty of fresh inspiration to be found right now.

As a shopping editor with a major focus on style, I’ve been keeping a close eye on fashion month street style and spring’s catwalks, taking note of emerging trends in person and online. And the vibe for the year ahead is all about you—projecting a sense of your true self to the world. Sure, that’s the point of personal style, but after a few years dominated by quiet (and, some might say, boring) luxury, it’s now trendier than ever to dress for your own ideal. Accessories like bag charms are popping up everywhere; super-layered looks are the norm; bold styling choices are making staples like everyday leggings and skinny pants feel daring. It’s a sartorial free-for-all.

Of course, I also picked up on some more specific pieces, colors, and vibes, should you want a clearer road map for the year ahead. Boho style is officially here to stay, as is classic American prep (and a close cousin influenced by coastal living). And petal pink and pistachio green are shaping up to be the colors of the year, according to labels like Tory Burch, Tibi, and Simone Rocha. Below, dive into my favorite spring fashion trends of 2025 that’ll keep you well ahead of the curve.

1. Bohemian daydream

Boho’s been back for a year now, but spring’s best runways took the ’70s-inflected aesthetic in its dreamiest direction yet. Sheer fabrics and handicraft detailing abounded in the Chloé, Valentino, Fendi, and Armani collections, which went heavy on beading and embroidery. The attitude extended to hair too; labels like Elena Velez and Cucculelli Shaheen adorned models’ long hair with flowy ribbons and gold jewelry. I’m all for layering sheer pieces and investing in vintage gowns—but you can get the same effect by, say, throwing on a pair of lace tights and leaving your hair messy when you’re off to brunch.

2. Petal pink

Pastels always trend this time of year, but I can’t recall a recent season when powder pink felt this fresh. The whisper-soft shade graced too many spring catwalks to count—and while most outfits leaned feminine, they balanced the color’s usual associations with some bite. Pared-back styling made models feel grown-up at Khaite and Brandon Maxwell; Alaïa employed extreme cutouts for some sex appeal; weirdo layering embraced the female gaze at Miu Miu, Valentino, and Chanel. So while you’re welcome to wear petal pink however you wish, the real trend this season is juxtaposition—mixing the airy with the hard-edged. These pieces will get you started.

3. Elevated athleisure

A decade after normcore turned everyday essentials like gray hoodies and black leggings into fashion statements, luxury labels are once again finding inspiration in the least glamorous pieces in everyone’s wardrobe. At Ferragamo, models looked like they were leaving ballet class; at Tory Burch, the pool; at Tod’s, track practice. None of these pieces (save for that sequined Tory tank) are showstoppers that would look out of place in the gym or on a coffee run—the appeal here comes down to smart styling. Spend a moment considering color, texture, and layering, and your basics will look like luxury pieces.

4. Coastal cool

Mixing equal parts nautical style and East Coast prep, this trend popped up at cool-girl brands like Miu Miu, Sacai, and Proenza Schouler—meaning that it’s primed to be absolutely everywhere in the months ahead. Any coastal references are welcome: Breton stripes, sailor flares, flap collars, boat shoes, seashells, gold buttons, nautical netting. Whether you incorporate one piece into a look or dress as if you’re summering in Nantucket, it’s all breezy, moneyed, and effortlessly cool. What more could you want this season?

5. Ladies who lunch

Tweed was on everyone’s mind this season, perhaps because loud luxury is back (or maybe because Chanel was in search of a new creative director). Whatever motivated the big swing toward ladylike style, I’m not upset—some old-school elegance is never a bad addition to your wardrobe, trendy or not. Chanel did its usual thing; Gucci and Louis Vuitton found muses in society women; Celine essentially released its version of a Chanel collection, featuring just a hint of camp. So no matter your tax bracket, it’s a great time to invest in a classic dress or a knit cardigan worthy of Jackie O. Keep things from getting too tradwife by introducing some high-low friction with jeans or unexpected footwear like sneakers and clogs.

6. Slim-cut pants

While much has been made of the return of skinny jeans, we’d like to offer a touch of pushback: This season’s best styles are technically slim, not proper skinny. (It’s a small but important distinction!) Slim-cut pants featured heavily at Prada, McQueen, Sportmax, Mugler, and Aaron Esh, while everyone and their mother has heard about Alix Earle’s recent love affair with the silhouette. The distinction between straight, slim, and skinny varies wildly from brand to brand, but each of the picks below fits tight through the thighs and begins to flare ever-so-subtly through the leg. Style yours with a white T-shirt, a crewneck cardigan, and black booties to go full Parisian chic.

7. Pops of pistachio

With early-2010s staples like big bags and cropped leather jackets back in the zeitgeist, it was only a matter of time until one of the biggest colors of the era came along with them. I’m talking, of course, about mint green, which is staging a comeback (with a little more verdancy for 2025) as pistachio. I spotted the shade on dresses at Tove and Chloé, bottoms at Tibi and Tory Burch, and accessories at Prada and Simone Rocha. It’s undeniable—and somehow still under the radar. Remedy that with the pieces below.

8. Excessive accessorization

Bag charms were some of the hottest accessories of the previous year, and their playful, highly personalized appeal is bleeding into every other bauble on the market. In a preview of what’s to come, Coach covered spring’s bags in faux stickers and Chopova Lowena sprinkled studs on to hair bows and sneakers. And at labels such as Moschino and Saint Laurent, models walked the runway laden with as much jewelry as they could carry. (Chaotic layering, a close cousin of this trend, also popped up at Miu Miu and Acne Studios.) Start showing off your personal style with gigantic hair bows, sneaker charms, busy necklaces, and layered keychains—more is more.

9. Prep school

A distinctly American mode of prep has dominated fashion for the last few years, and 2025’s first catwalks only proved it’s here to stay. But crucially, none of it’s played quite straight: Collars are askew, traditional shirting doubles as dresses, pleated trousers sprout built-in belts or skirts. This preppy, academic look is about knowing the rules and choosing to break them in service of your own take on style. Untuck your shirt or wear your black loafers with white socks; you’ll be replicating styling tricks from some of my favorite shows, including Prada and Bottega Veneta.

10. The new workwear

The ideal working woman’s outfit is moving toward something easier, more minimalist, and menswear-adjacent, according to spring’s most exciting shows. Loose jackets and trousers anchored office-ready outfits at Victoria Beckham and Saint Laurent. Clean lines defined blazers at Toteme and Tory Burch, the former’s cinched at the waist by built-in belts. Jacquemus and Peter Do showed full, pleated skirts that moved gorgeously—no pencil silhouettes in sight. Thankfully, it’s easy to find similar pieces at high-street brands; top it off with a trendy belted bag for your laptop and some sleek glove flats.
