As the weather warms up and the days get longer, fashion takes a refreshing new turn. Spring/Summer 2025 is all about balance, combining sporty comfort with elegance, and keeping things fun, easy, and full of personality. Spring/Summer runways were filled with looks that feel fresh but still wearable, and this season is shaping up to be one of the most versatile (and exciting) yet.

Here are my favourite key trends that will define your wardrobe over the coming months.

Sporty Meets Smart

Athleisure is getting a grown-up upgrade this season. Instead of saving sporty pieces for the gym, fashion is mixing them with more tailored items. Think blazers worn over bike shorts, crop tops under suiting, and sneakers styled with trousers or dresses.

This sporty-chic look isn’t about looking casual—it’s about finding that sweet spot between relaxed and put-together. It’s fashion that moves with you and still makes a statement.

The Return of the Flip Flop

Yes, flip flops are officially in style again, but they’ve had a major makeover. This season’s version comes in leather, rubber, bold colours, or even with a heel. Designers have taken this simple sandal and turned it into a must-have.

They’re showing up everywhere - from the runway to street style and are being styled with everything from dresses to tailored pants. It’s all about making comfort look cool.

Plaid for Spring? Actually, Yes.

I know what you’re thinking, but plaid isn’t just for autumn anymore. This spring, plaid is popping up in softer colours and lighter fabrics, making it totally wearable in warmer weather.

You can go all in with a matching plaid set, or just add a little touch, like a checked bag or shoe to an otherwise simple outfit. Pair a plaid piece with all black for a chic and easy way to try the trend.

Ruffles and Romance

There’s a romantic vibe in the air this season, and ruffles are leading the way. Flowing skirts, blouses, and dresses with ruffle details are everywhere, adding a soft and playful edge to your wardrobe.

For your next holiday, a ruffled mini dress is perfect. Or try a pretty ruffle blouse tucked into trousers for work. It’s a fun and feminine trend that works for all kinds of occasions.

Sunset Colours Are In

From bright pinks to rich oranges, soft yellows to deep reds, this season’s colour palette is inspired by the sky at sunset. These feel-good colours are taking over, bringing warmth and joy to everything from dresses to bags.

You can go head-to-toe in one colour or mix a few for a bold look.

The White Tank You’ll Wear All Summer

It doesn’t get much more classic than a white tank top, but this season’s version is elevated. It’s all about finding one with the perfect fit and great fabric. It’s simple, stylish, and surprisingly versatile.

Pair it with jeans or denim shorts, layer it under a blazer, or wear it with a maxi skirt—it goes with everything. If you’re looking for a staple to live in this summer, this is it.

Bold Bags with Personality

This season’s accessories are loud, fun, and full of attitude. Forget plain bags, think unusual shapes, bright colours, and eye-catching details. These are the kinds of accessories that don’t just match your outfit, they make your outfit.

Whether it’s a mini bag in a bold colour or something quirky and unexpected, don’t be afraid to have a little fun. The more personality, the better.

Add a Tie (Yes, Really)

One of the coolest twists this season is the return of the tie, but not how you might expect. Inspired by brands like YSL, women’s suiting is having a major moment, and adding a tie gives it a sharp, stylish edge.

Wear one loosely over a blazer and mini skirt, or go for a buttoned-up look for evening. It adds a bit of masculine charm while still feeling very modern and feminine.

Spring/Summer 2025 is all about mixing it up. There’s no one way to dress, just plenty of ways to show your style. Whether you’re layering sporty pieces with tailoring, stepping out in flip flops, or throwing a blazer over ruffles, this season encourages you to have fun with your fashion.
