Spring 2025 Trends (and How to Actually Wear Them): Part 1
Trends are fun, but if you don’t know how to wear them—or which ones are worth investing in—you can end up with a closet full of clothes that don’t work together. Sound familiar? I can hear that unworn piece in the back of your closet, tags still attached, singing her siren song for freedom. Dramatic? Maybe. True? Absolutely.
Let’s break down three of Spring 2025’s major trends—and, more importantly, how you can actually wear them.
1. Oversized Proportions
Okay, don’t run away just yet! We know those exaggerated runway looks can feel totally unrealistic. But instead of getting mad at fashion, let’s rethink proportions:
One of the easiest ways to create balance in your silhouette is by adding volume where you don’t have it. Sounds counterintuitive? Here’s the trick:
If you're fuller on the bottom, adding structure or volume to your shoulders, neckline, or top half creates a more balanced look.
If you're broader on top, go for a fuller skirt or wide-leg pants to even things out.
How to wear it:
Try a blouse with a dramatic flounce or a subtle peplum jacket.
If you love structure, a slightly oversized blazer or wide-leg trousers can work wonders.
Use this trend strategically to flatter your shape rather than overwhelm it.
2. Chartreuse – Color Trend of 2025
I’m personally obsessed with this zesty shade of green right now, but if it doesn’t make you green with envy, you can still dip your toe in. The key with a color trend? Don’t force it. If you don’t love the color, you won’t wear it—simple as that.
How to wear it:
If you’re all in, go bold with a structured chartreuse dress, a statement top, or tailored trousers.
If you’re color-cautious, start small—try a pop of chartreuse in a shoe, handbag, or earrings.
This color plays surprisingly well with teal, pink, emerald, red, cobalt, and cream.
3. Feminine Lace & Floral Appliqués
For some of you, this is a yes, obviously moment—spring and femininity go hand in hand. For others, it’s a hard pass because you’re over lace and bows. But here’s the thing: this trend isn’t going anywhere. The Rococo revival (yes, it’s a thing) and pop culture are making sure of that.
How to wear it:
For work, try a lace pencil skirt but keep it grounded with a structured blazer or a textured sweater.
If you want just a hint of this trend, opt for a mesh ballet flat, sheer lace details, or a subtle trim on a top or dress.
Not into the ultra-feminine vibe? Pair lace with tougher textures—think leather, denim, or structured suiting.
