The Experts Have Spoken: 2025’s Hottest Spring Fashion Trends

Come rain or shine, these are the 2025 spring fashion trends you’ll be seeing everywhere this season. Read on for the inside scoop!

Hottest Trends in Spring Fashion

Longer days, blooming flowers, and melting snow mean spring is finally on the horizon! After a long, cold winter, we’re welcoming heating temperatures with the hottest spring fashion trends.

This year’s trends are fun, flirty, and full of classics you’ll keep in your closet for years to come. From soft silhouettes to practical dressing, in this article, you’ll discover 7 of the biggest spring trends according to fashion experts and runway analysts. 

Let’s get into them! 

Bubble Hems

Bubble hems were a popular trend you might have seen pop up last summer. Love it or hate it, according to Who What Wear trend reports, this voluminous style isn’t going anywhere. Inspired by puffy styles from the 80s and the balletcore aesthetic, bubble skirts add a flirty, dimensional element to your outfit and are a sure-fire way to stand out from the crowd. 

I love mini bubble hem skirts styled with a matching tank top and barely-there thong sandals for a minimalistic aesthetic. Full-bodied skirts with a puff-hem are also a spring must-have. They’re more versatile than their mini counterparts and can be styled with a tee shirt and sneakers for a laid-back look or dressed up for dinner with kitten heels and chunky jewelry. 

Attending any spring weddings? Midi and maxi-length bubble hem dresses make for such a cute wedding guest look.

Tulle’s Still In

Gone are the days when you need to bundle up in lots of layers! The transition from winter to spring means we can start wearing those airy, skin-baring pieces that have been waiting to see the light of day. 

The sheer trend has been in style for years now, according to the fashion experts from Vogue UK and Refinery 29, but it tends to have a resurgence in warmer weather for obvious reasons. “A sheer moment for spring/summer is always fun (and often welcome, depending on the temperature),” states Megan Storey from Who What Wear

Specifically, this season’s runways were big on light and wispy layers of tulle and organza. For spring 2025, we’ll see how these ethereal, feminine fabrics complement the sheer trend and take it to new heights. I love how romantic organza blouses, tulle dresses, and chic sheer skirts juxtapose a suede jacket or leather boots to create a sophisticated, high-fashion look. It’s sheer perfection (pun intended). 

Bonus points if you go for sheer pieces in springy shades of pale pink, baby blue, or butter yellow!

Plaid for Spring

Plaid for spring…how groundbreaking! We might be steering away from florals this season, but prints are still very much in play. British Vogue said, “the plaid memo for spring was realized as everything from separates to classic, Cobain-esque flannel shirts, coats and ruffled skirts” were spotted on the runways. Essentially, we’re carrying over our love for fall and winter plaid well into warmer weather. 

I love a plaid-on-plaid combo for spring styled with peep-toe sandals (another 2025 trend) and a woven bag. Embrace your 90s nostalgia with a plaid button-down, classic denim, and a suede jacket. Or channel Cher Horowitz in a plaid mini skirt paired with a sweater and preppy flats.

70’s Inspired Boho

Boho is back and chicer than ever. 

This year’s version of boho is all about romantic, feminine silhouettes that feel effortless yet intentional. Brands like Chloé and Isabel Marant are leading the return of this nostalgic trend with billowy silks, lightweight lace, floaty chiffons, and soft suedes in their runway collections.

To master the free-spirited bohemian aesthetic this spring, consider adding suede jackets, flowy maxi skirts, tulle tops, lace dresses, wide-leg jeans, and dark paisley prints to your wardrobe. From there, you can create your own take on 70s-era fashion! 

Adding a touch of crochet will elevate a simple spring outfit of a white tee with wide-leg jeans. Alternatively, I love a lingerie-like dress paired with a fringe suede jacket and loafers (like Diana’s outfit above). To achieve the modern boho vibe, try mixing contemporary and vintage pieces like kick-flare jeans with a more trendy bag.

Power Dressing, Redefined

 

shop power pieces: 

On the spring/summer 2025 runways, the theme of “soft power” emerged as a standout trend. While power dressing has been in style for the past few years, this spring’s version of “dressing to impress” focuses on real-life wearability and balancing structured suiting with softer pieces. 

According to Who What Wear, spring’s soft power dressing is “reimagined in relaxed silhouettes that at once felt strong yet sophisticated and elevated—a feminine-meets-masculine take on work style.” Brands like The Row, Bottega Veneta, and Saint Laurent showcased the soft power look with oversized suiting paired with cool accessories like statement eyewear and chunky cuff bracelets. 

I recommend forming outfits around key pieces like baggy jeans, front-crease tailored trousers, hourglass blazers, and soft yet tailored separates. For example, I love the look of an oversized blazer styled with a lace skirt—it’s the perfect combination of two spring 2025 trends! By mixing masculine and feminine pieces, you create a business-casual look that deserves to be seen beyond office hours.

Sporty Spice

Calling all sporty girls, this next trend is for you! 

Another fashion trend that’s making waves this spring is athleisure. Beyond just wearing leggings and your favorite sneakers, this trend is all about taking your athleticwear from your workout into your daily life with pieces that transition from the studio to the office on weekdays or to brunch on the weekend (or whatever else you have planned). 

Marie Claire predicts track pants, Capri-length leggings, and mini bike shorts to define the sporty spice trend. Meanwhile, Refinery 29 thinks colorblock windbreakers with dressier pieces, like maxi skirts, will be a prevalent pairing this spring. A cool-girl combination Francesca nailed with her blue Adidas zip-up and brown skirt.

I also love a ballet-inspired outfit of a wrap top styled with a matching set. Pairing track pants with a preppy button-down and flats is another foolproof approach to looking cool and stylish this spring. No matter how you style it, athleisure is here to stay!

Green Hues

Spring is the time of growth and new blooms, so it makes sense that the color green is sprouting up everywhere this season! On the runways, Ganni showcased chartreuse while brands like Coach and Versace played into minty greens. Green is such an easy-to-style color that compliments every skin tone and works into any wardrobe, whether you’re more maximalist or minimalist. No matter if you gravitate towards warm shades of olive, jewel-toned emeralds, bright apple greens, or pops of pistachio, there’s a green hue for you! 

I adore the down-to-earth duo of green and blue. Whether you wear a green jacket with classic blue jeans or pair cobalt blue kitten heels with an apple green dress, you can’t go wrong with this winning color combination. More muted shades of green make an amazing neutral addition to your wardrobe and pair perfectly with creams, taupes, browns, blacks—you name it! The possibilities with this spring trend are endless and forever timeless.

There you have the top 7 spring fashion trends for 2025! Spring fashion is always so fresh and exciting, and I hope you’re feeling just as inspired by this season’s trends as we are at Style Your Occasion. 

Whether you choose to incorporate one or all of these trends into your spring wardrobe, you’re bound to be the best dressed anywhere you go.
