After a month of runway shows all over New York, London, Milan, and Paris, the Spring/Summer 2025 collections are all over our algorithms and we’re feeling inspired. From Bottega Veneta’s asymmetrical skirts to Valentino’s bohemian paisley print-on-prints to Miu Miu’s perfectly imperfect multilayered tops, we can hardly wait to get our hands on some of these pieces.
In the meantime, why not at least tap into the shows for some new ideas? Below, I’ve shopped out the best Spring 2025 trends to start wearing right now. There’s so much to love, from Chloé’s perfect oversize trench coat to Proenza Schouler’s ever-flowing fringe dresses. Whether you’re looking for more classic wardrobe builders or want to make a strong statement for the new season, there is something for everyone.
Asymmetrical Skirts
Alaïa, Bottega Veneta, Tory Burch
The hemline of the season is asymmetrical, and for good reason. It adds the perfect amount of movement to skirts, making for a joyful new day-to-night silhouette. These go perfectly with a V-neck sweater for the fall like at Bottega Veneta, or a shell top for the evening like at Tory Burch.

Floral Dresses
Loewe, Chloé, Erdem
Wearing a light floral print in fall feels a little rebellious, like wearing white after Labor Day. It looks especially fresh in the new dress silhouette this season, a sort of hybrid of the drop-waist dress and circle-skirt trends we loved for fall. Take inspiration from the styling at Loewe and Erdem, and wear yours with a brogue or a monk-strap shoe for the full cool-girl effect.

Layers on Layers on Layers
Miu Miu, Acne Studios, Saint Laurent
More is more! Think of the tops and sweaters worn tied around the models’ waists at Miu Miu, or the multimedia blocked skirts at Saint Laurent and Acne Studios. This dynamic trend makes a statement and bodes well for the fall weather ahead. The easiest way in is a sweater that comes already all tied up—perfect to wear with leather pants in the coming months.

Sporty Separates
All-In, Miu Miu, Willy Chavarria
One of our favorite spring styling trends is mixing athletic-inspired separates with more buttoned-up daywear looks. A track jacket feels like a new gloss on fall outerwear this season, whether you’re balancing it with a pleated skirt like at Miu Miu or dipping into the skirts-over-pants trend like at All-In. Come spring, when it’s a bit warmer, a ringer-style sports bra makes the perfect layering piece.

High-Volume Miniskirts
Simone Rocha, JW Anderson, Vaquera, All-In, Loewe
Prance around this fall in the most fun trend from the Spring 2025 runways: the miniskirt. This season, minis came in the form of dancer-esque tutus, which makes for all the more joy when temperatures start to drop. Bundle up with a pair of tights and boots, then add your best fall sweater and bomber jacket to complete the ensemble.

The Return of the ’70s
Saint Laurent, Valentino, Isabel Marant
If the bohemian or leopard trends from fall told us anything, it’s that ’70s style is here to stay. For the Spring 2025 collections, we actually saw darker tones of paisleys, worn with rich suede jackets and long necklaces—which actually works perfectly for the fall months ahead. Lean into bold prints broken up with brown and black leather in the form of jackets and boots alike.

Boudoir Dressing
Junya Watanabe, Nensi Dojaka, Balenciaga
Sheer is a big trend we’re seeing for the fall, and it’s showing no sign of stopping. For the Spring 2025 collections, a handful of designers took to beautiful lace fabrics, while others embraced lingerie shapes. Lean into sexy cutouts, lacy dresses and skirts, and bra tops for a barely-there evening look. The finishing touch—as we saw from Junya Watanabe, Nensi Dojaka, and Balenciaga—isn’t so much about accessories; instead, try a simple, pulled-back hairstyle to let the clothes do the talking.

An Explosion of Stripes
Prada, Proenza Schouler, Louis Vuitton, Rabanne, Dior, Chanel.
There’s something so classic about a stripe; season after season, we see everything from Breton stripes to pinstripes throughout the collections. But for spring, designers took a more abstract approach, incorporating untraditional angles and colors for a fresh take. Is the stripe a new neutral? For fall, go all out with a head-to-toe look incorporating both a striped sweater and shoes (like at Prada), or mix-match a striped sweater (like Proenza’s, slung over the bag).

All-White Ensembles
Bottega Veneta, Toteme, Tove
There is so much charm to be found in winter whites, and the Spring 2025 collections have inspired us to get a head start and wear all-white looks this fall. From ivory and cream hues in beautiful textures of satins, silks, lightweight wool, and sheer fabrics, these separates feel luxurious for the coming months ahead. Bottega Veneta and Toteme paired their whites with sheer black tights for an effortless look, while Tove gave us a beautiful creamy matched set. It’s a foolproof approach to chic fall dressing.

Fringes Galore
Dior and Moschino, 16Arlington, Proenza Schouler, Burberry, Erdem, and 3.1 Phillip Lim
Fringes swept across the runways this season, adding joy to otherwise quieter silhouettes. From dresses at Proenza Schouler and Erdem to belts at Dior and tops and jackets at 16Arlington, these pieces made a statement. Move and shake your way into fall with a fringe top that look will look coolest with jeans, or try a fringe belt to break up a pencil skirt and bodysuit look. Either way, you’ll be tapping into some volume and drama.

Oversize Trench Coats
Gucci, Carven, Chloé
When you’re thinking about wardrobe builders, a trench coat should be at the top of the list, especially for fall. In the spring collections, designers at Chloé, Gucci, and Carven added some breathing room for the new shape: oversize. Whether you pair yours with your best fall dress for the office, or go with classic trousers and a button-down top, these coats will make a true statement.
