Florals for spring? Actually groundbreaking.

Spring has officially sprung, and we’re crawling out of our winter dens (a.k.a. the infinite layers of cashmere and wool we’ve been wearing to stay warm). The weather is finally allowing us to bask in the sun past 4 p.m., daffodils are appearing everywhere, and we’ve got our eyes on some new clothes to show off as the temperatures rise. 

It’s natural to feel stuck in a winter fashion rut for those first few weeks after Daylight Savings Time, so we’re looking to the professionals for sartorial inspiration. While Katie’s a phenomenal source for all things chic, the Spring 2025 fashion runways also ran rampant with everything we want to wear this season. But in truth, we don’t have the bank account to splurge on said designer items. Luckily, there are plenty of ways to add freshness to your closet without breaking the bank. 

From nautical-meets-prep-school at Miu Miu and Tommy Hilfiger to full-on bohemia at Zimmerman, we’re translating high-fashion trends into affordable looks you can wear this spring. Celebrate longer days and being able to display your ankles/shoulders with some of these sweet spring things, with prices starting as low as $15. 

Fisherman-Inspired

One could argue that the preppy, coastal looks seen on the catwalks were reminiscent of a past TikTok trend, but this time around it has an edge. Tommy Hilfiger created pieces that felt like laid-back school uniforms in the best way possible — picture oversized blazers paired with baggy jeans and sneakers. Meanwhile, models at Proenza Schouler wore crocheted dresses and billowing caftans in Breton stripes. Despite the roomy silhouettes, nothing felt messy or unintentional, thanks to the strategic tailoring. The key to nailing this trend? Juxtapose loose pieces with something more structured, like our favorite slouchy sweater from Jenni Kayne, with relaxed trousers, like you’re headed off to sail in Nantucket: casual, yet elegant.

Red All Over

Alongside pops of butter yellow and cobalt blue, cherry red appeared as the basis for monochromatic outfits at Off-White and Gucci — and as an unexpected shoe pairing at Stella McCartney. Primary colors are center stage this season, but if you fear looking elementary by pairing all three colors together, consider seeing red. TikTokers are calling this the “unexpected red theory,” claiming that adding red to an outfit instantly makes it better, no matter its form. (Some claim the same is true in interior design, too.)

Floral Print

To quote the great Miranda Priestly: “Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking.” But as far as we’re concerned, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. From delicate silk dresses at Loewe to high-contrast patterns at Carolina Herrera, designers fully embraced florals, the classic spring print. One thing nearly all the designers had in common, though, was that they featured the print most often on flowy, cascading fabrics. We’re planning to incorporate this into our wardrobe in the form of lightweight linen dresses that we can wear well into summer.

This one should be easy to weave into your wardrobe (pun fully intended): Woven bags and footwear were heavily featured at The Row, Michael Kors Collection, and Bottega Veneta, securing them as the accessory trend of the season. Due to the timeless nature of the style, you might already have a woven bag or two in the back of your closet, but if you don’t, the time to add one into your rotation is now.

The boho aesthetic is back and groovier than ever, baby. Suede vests at Isabel Marant were trimmed in long fringe, while Zimmerman opted for a romantic take on the trend, dressing models in prairie skirts, crochet tanks, and suede hobo bags that’d be at home in the closet of the fictional movie icon Penny Lane. If your style doesn’t lean bohemian, consider starting small, like swapping your classic dark leather pieces — like totes, jackets, or belts — for suede counterparts in taupe or camel.

Analog Watches

We say it every season, but everything old is, in fact, new again. Despite the rise of Apple Watches and wearable tech, the wrist candy pendulum is swinging in the opposite direction — analog watches were noticeably prominent this season, with chain link bands at Hermès. Don’t toss out your smart watch just yet, though: Swapping your silicone band for an elevated metal bracelet can give the vintage-inspired look designers aimed for, without losing any of the high-tech capabilities. And if you never subscribed to the digital hype, it’s safe to say you were always ahead of the times.
