As winter fades and the Northeast Ohio weather begins to warm, it’s time to refresh your wardrobe with this season’s most exciting fashion trends. Let’s explore what’s hot for spring 2025 and how to incorporate these looks into your personal style.
Color Stories
This spring’s color palette features butter yellow as the standout shade of the season, with fashion houses like Chanel, Chloé, and Toteme embracing this flattering hue that works surprisingly well on all skin tones.
Other key colors making a splash include powder pink (seen at Brandon Maxwell, Khaite, and Proenza Schouler), light mocha and caramel tones, and refreshing sky blue – perfect for manifesting those clear spring days we’re all craving after winter.
Textural Elements
This spring is all about playful textures that add movement and interest to your wardrobe. Fringe has made a notable comeback, appearing on everything from jackets to skirts and handbags. For a seasonal look, opt for lighter suede in softer shades or try denim fringe for a fresh spin on this trend.
Plaid is making an unexpected appearance this spring, breaking from its traditional fall associations. The checkered pattern with alternating stripes in different color bands was prominently featured by designers like Tod’s, Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, and Acne Studios.
Silhouettes & Styles
The boho aesthetic is making a strong return this season. According to stylist Audree Kate López, suede is the perfect spring material – “it’s more lightweight than a puffer or leather coat and is the current It Girl material.” For a modern take on this look, try pairing a suede jacket with high-waisted bottoms or over a floral mini dress.
Shoe trends are shifting noticeably this season, with a movement away from the trainer-dominated looks of recent years. Fashion expert Midlifechic observed a dramatic change in London, noting a 50:50 ratio between shoes and trainers compared to the previous 90:10 split favoring trainers. Loafers worn with cool socks, ballet flats, and slingbacks are particularly popular options.
For those excited to show some skin as temperatures rise, mini skirts are having a major moment this spring. The runways showcased creative ways to play with proportions, so don’t be afraid to experiment with your styling.
Nautical Influences
Aquatic-inspired fashion is making waves this season, with Noémie Voyer, fashion lead at trend analytics platform Heuritech, noting elements of “mermaid-core” aesthetic featuring glamour, sequins, and fishtail skirts paired with sportier elements like fishnet jogger pants and scuba-inspired looks.
Nautical fashion continues its perennial popularity with sailor stripes dominating and blues and whites playing a central role. The look ranges from simple Breton stripes paired with jeans to full-on nautical styling with rope belts and head-to-toe stripes.
Boat shoes are emerging as a stylish alternative to flip-flops for the season, offering both convenience for beach outings and versatile styling potential. They pair well with everything from classic nautical looks with white linen to casual combinations like boxer shorts and a tee.
Accessorizing
Chunky bangles have become a standout accessory trend for spring 2025, appearing in both bold hardware and vibrant acrylic styles. Try mixing metals by stacking silver and gold bangles together for an instant style upgrade to simple staples like white tees and tanks.
For hair accessories, cuffs are providing a practical yet stylish solution for bad hair days. These simple additions can elevate a basic braid or ponytail into a more polished look with minimal effort.
