How can you tell that spring is finally here? If blooming pockets of daffodils in the park, the gradual warming temperatures and the lighter evenings don't give it away, then the itch to reorganise and refresh your wardrobe just might.
Springtime falls in line with the first fashion week of the year, and while designers will be displaying their autumn/winter collections, the attendees — in Paris and Milan especially — take the opportunity to showcase their best spring-inspired street style.
As with every spring, lighter shades ruled the runways, but there was also a noticeable rise in sheer, gauzy materials, asymmetrical shapes and micro hemlines. These trends can be incorporated into your new-season approach to dressing, or alternatively, stick with minimalist, staple pieces which can be styled with a fresh approach.
Below, we've compiled the best spring outfits to inspire you when dressing for the months ahead, as well as the best luxury pieces to invest in for this season and beyond.
Go for gingham
The nostalgic print re-emerging for spring, there's been whispers of gingham appearing in street style after Loewe dabbled in the checks during its spring/summer 2025 show. This look takes one of the more popular outerwear silhouettes of the season, a cropped trench coat, and layers it over an asymmetrical gingham midi skirt with a pair of loafers and charm-adorned mini bag for a playful, Scandi street style-inspired look.

Neutral base
A masterclass in layering, this ensemble pairs together a clean-cut denim jacket (a spring outwear staple) with a pair of tailored shorts, a slightly longer take on the Bermuda style that's great for the in-between season. The pairing of similar neutral hues, from the shirt to the accessories, is key to attaining a put-together finish.

Sunny suiting
Amanda Seyfried delivered some sunny inspiration when she stepped out in a block-coloured jacket and matching dress in New York, swapping the popular butter yellow hue for a more vibrant shade. Styled with a pair of Gianvito Rossi knee-high boots and black sunglasses, the look felt less prim and proper, leaning more into a sleek Sixties approach.

Soft leathers
While a pair of white trousers can feel like a staple piece of your summer wardrobe, some subtle styling tricks can bring them forward into your spring rotation. Leave the black leather jacket in winter and invest in a soft brown or neutral shade for the warmer months; these more cohesive colours make for a more versatile piece when styling with other lighter hues for the season. A silk neck scarf and plush leather bag will lend a polished final touch.

Laura Harrier is an enduring style muse when it comes to minimalist yet refined dressing. Here, she showcases how to make even the most basic items look luxury; the key is to buy considered pieces – a clean white cotton T-shirt, pair of structured jeans and a black cashmere cardigan will serve you well, and can be further elevated with statement jewellery and heels to take you into the evening. That said, a pair of backless mules will impart a laidback Olsen twins vibe.

Denim whites
Double denim has been given a makeover for spring; swap out classic blue hues for white denim pieces that give a fresh approach to the western trend. Pelagia Kolotouros' re-energised vision for Lacoste has given us this pleat-detail bag, a whimsical tennis-inspired accessory we see catching on for spring/summer 2025. When it comes to jeans, a turn-up or balloon silhouette have undoubtedly been the burgeoning styles of the past year, both teaming well with ankle boots and flats.

Button down
Worn out by oversized shirts? Here's the new way to wear the staple piece for spring. Opt for a more fitted style and let the bottom few buttons fall open, pairing it with a high-waisted denim skirt, knee-high boots and tie for an undone look that mixes Nineties influence with workwear elements. This outfit gives just the right amount of laissez-faire energy suited for date nights and weekend plans; layering a few gold necklaces will make the relaxed ensemble feel intentional.
