Dominant Fashion Trends for Spring 2025

Fashion trends are constantly changing. With major designers and runway events in place, it’s no surprise to see that yearly changes are in place. Top events like New York, Milan, London and Paris Fashion Weeks often pave the way for new designs to hit the market, giving a solid idea of what trends are to come. With Spring 2025 nearly here, there are already some outstanding trends coming to the fore. So, this year, keep a look out for bubble hems, sheer layers, pink and more.

Spring 2025’s Defining Trends
Various fashion trends are already being showcased for this year. For anyone that wants to remain ahead of the fashion curve, here are just a few of the top trends.

Sheer layers is making a huge comeback. Already showcased by the likes of Chanel, McQueen and Stella McCartney, there’s a strong focus on lightweight fabrics and layering. Other designers are taking this further using super thin gossamer tulle and organza to create an almost ‘naked dressing’ look. With spring, this is at least a good time to start wearing it.

Another popular trend are the bubble hems. This is another returning trend, bringing back more voluminous silhouettes. Such a look is regularly shown from brands like JW Anderson, Alaïa and Chloe.

Spring is often the season for softer colours, and this is exemplified in this season’s use of powder pink. Soft pinks are everywhere this season, from Akris to Bottega Veneta designs, and also men should learn how to use pink on their outfits. It’s actually a nice change too, as there have been deeper colours and hues used more prominently in previous months. The introduction of pink to the runway means more colourful and playful choices are incoming.

Anyone looking for workwear is also in for a treat this year. Sharp suiting is back with a great set of strong workwear items. The look mixes more masculine tailoring and bulky silhouettes but pairs this with feminine adaptations and leather jackets harking back to the power-dressing time of the 80s. Top influential brands here include Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta and Stella McCartney.

Finally, elegant athletic wear is back too. Polo shirts are having a resurgence with more emphasis on sport from Ralph Lauren through to Dior, Prada, Gucci and Burberry. The looks focus on more elevated functional styles but include everything from moto jackets to rugby jerseys.

Interestingly, in recent years, there has been a growing trend for luxury fashion with sportswear. Tracksuits have long been popular, especially when coupled with sneakers to create a casual, high fashion look. Technical fabrics and high-performance sportswear is the name of the game too, especially in more sophisticated wardrobes. And the reason for this is to create functional yet sleek looks. Dior’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection specifically showcases this with tailored tracksuits coupled with designer sneakers and functional accessories.

Shopping Trends and The Value of Online Retail
With trends coming and going so frequently, it can be hard to stay on to top of the latest trend without breaking the bank. And this is where shopping online can be very helpful. This is because there is a wider range of options, better price to quality ratios and the ability to access exclusive collections. There are many popular retailers that endeavour to keep up with the latest fashion trends while still keeping within the budget. Stores like ASOS, SHEIN and Amazon all give shoppers the best access to a range of options including luxury-inspired athleisure.

Another way to get an updated wardrobe is to use promo codes: for instance, ASOS has a range of discount codes in place making it easy to get trendy and quality pieces with minimal effort. Coupling codes like this with smart shopping habits can really make a difference when it comes to getting affordable luxury items. Yes, these are not from the top brands, but they emulate the main fashionable pieces very well, often being indistinguishable from the originals. Better still, platforms like ASOS also have the option for shoppers to compare similar items, allowing them to pick the piece that suits them and their wardrobe best.

With so many key fashion trends arriving, it’s important to balance fashion with comfort and affordability. Luxury athelticwear is the current trend which helps to ensure a balance between style and being practical. Making the most of elegant sportswear is a great way to stay on trend, while also being comfortable. So, explore new styles and be versatile with sportswear.
