Joy was ever-present in the Spring 2025 collections, with a sense of optimism and individuality taking center stage. If you want to dress up, then this is your season. Maximalism made a major comeback, with beaded jackets worn with ruffled floral chiffon skirts, lace tights, and jewels at Valentino; brocade pieces mixed with lace blouses and satin skirts at Saint Laurent; and swinging rope necklaces layered over blouson tweeds at Louis Vuitton.
Silhouettes this season took on a soft power, with feminine draping, ruffles, and layers of chiffon. Jonathan Anderson’s light-as-air floral fabrics were transformed into bouncing hoop skirts made of crinoline. Demure? For sure—albeit in a slightly subverted way at Prada and Balenciaga in the form of Peter Pan collar coats with colored tights, bow-tie blouse dresses open in the back and tied with laces.
Here, some of the top trends.
The Utility of Glamour
Louis Vuitton, Prada, Burberry
Designers had a party this season where opposites attracted, updating glamorous looks with modern utility jackets for the best of both worlds.
One Leg In, One Leg Out
Louis Vuitton, Bottega Veneta, Coperni
Imperfect hemlines and nontraditional trousers made their way down the runways in every city, with models half-dressed in full looks of one-legged pants.
Ornate Ornaments
Saint Laurent, Schiaparell, Valentino
From brocade jackets to jeweled tops and dresses, designers leaned into a “more is more” approach for the ultimate glamorous statement.
Very Demure
Jill Sanders, Balenciaga, Chanel
Bow-tie blouses, Peter Pan collars, pleated skirts, and the perfect car coats appeared in slightly subverted versions.
Hello, Moto
Vaquera, Watanabe, Loewe
First place went to sporty daywear that ran down the runways, throughout collections in every city.
Cuckoo for Tutus
JW Anderson, Rocha, Vaquera
Tutus danced throughout the collections as the new mini of the season, by way of skirts and peplums, in precious fabrics from classic tulle to bubbled silks.
Bloom Time
Loewe, Prada, Chloe
The runways were blooming with bouquets of prints on every style of dress, from light florals to a mixed-matched garden party of patterns.
Dresses Over Pants
Khaite, Rokh, Duran Lantink
This season, you don’t have to choose between your favorite dress and pants. Instead, why don’t you mix the two for a new take on the best pairing of the moment?
Boudoir Lace
Valentino, Saint Laurent, Gucci
From boudoir’s best daywear separates to elegant evening dresses in bright colors, lace took center stage in an elevated and unexpected way this season.
Soft Dressing
Chloe, Alaia, Stella Mccartney
High-low achieved new heights with forward-facing hemlines with an ever-flowing train in the back.
Polka Dots Mark the Spot
Adam Leenaerdt, Valentino, Carolina Herrera
Dots were the new neutral when it came to prints, appearing in both head-to-toe looks and layering pieces.
For the Frill of it
Pasqualetti, Dojaka, Akris
Angelic ruffles gave way to movement in skirts and dresses with an airy and effortless drape.
Power Plaid
Bottega Veneta, Sacai, Balenciaga
Checks and plaids in unexpected colorways made this pattern feel new in jackets, tunics, and skirts alike.
Sheer Genius
Prada, Hermes, Del Core
Designers saw through their collections with full transparency, adding sheer panels and cutouts for sexy details done elegantly.
50 Shades of Sailor Stripes
Prada, Vuitton, Dior
High tides called for the best stripes—from Breton sweaters to novelty dresses to looks that leaned fully in with head-to-toe lines.
Fringe Benefits
Hodakova, Michael Kors, Erdem
Move and groove this spring with dancing, dangling tassels in every silhouette you can think of.
