These spring fashion trends are everywhere right now
There's a wonderful energy to spring style — a chance to reset, refresh and experiment a little. We've rounded up six of the biggest fashion trends defining spring 2025, from the return of the preppy boat shoe to the It-colour guaranteed to put you in a brighter mood — plus ideas on how to style them. Butter yellow It finally happened. After appearing in trend report year after year, butter yellow has finally been given its time to shine — and it's looking bright. At Chanel, Jacquemus and Jil Sander, models wore breezy blouses, voluminous gowns and tough-luxe boots in the soft hue. Take a cue from the street-style set and build this soothing pastel into your look with a mini bowling bag or a knit sweater draped over the shoulders. For something more understated, try layering the balmy shade under a neutral tone for a subtle pop of colour. Boat shoes Jump scare warning: The boat shoe — long associated with preppy style, JFK and East Coast elitism — is officially sailing back into fashion. But unlike the Sperry surge of the 2010s, when frat bros in pastel shorts made the look feel more costume than cool, today's revival is anything but cringe, thanks to fresh takes from Miu Miu, Bally and Loewe. Break away from the stuffy Saxon Ratliff formula by styling them with technical separates and a slouchy crossbody bag. Or lean into the whimsy with ruffled crew socks and dark denim. Boho Y2K and early-2010s nostalgia has left its mark on many of today's biggest trends — from the return of shiny lip gloss to the rise of Bayonetta glasses. The latest look to join the list? Boho-inspired fashion, harkening back to the early 2000s, when Sienna Miller was the It Girl and the Chloé Paddington satchel was the It Bag. In her latest collections for Chloé, creative director Chemena Kamali revives the French house's bohemian spirit with billowy dresses, gauzy blouses and plenty of romantic lace. Channel this laid-back style by layering a sheer spaghetti-strap blouse over a contrasting T-shirt — or go all in with a breezy lace or fringed number. Neck ties An easy way to elevate an otherwise boring fit this season? Add a necktie. This classic menswear staple was spotted at Saint Laurent, Emporio Armani and Louis Vuitton — styled traditionally, loosened up or haphazardly knotted. Expect to see plenty of looks nodding to Hailey Bieber's viral Saint Laurent moment. For a more casual feel, pair a tie with a crisp shirt and shrunken cardigan. The best part? You probably already have one lying around or know someone who does. Rugby shirts There's no denying the influence of sports on fashion right now — and jerseys have become a sartorial staple. A low-key way to jump into the athletic trend, without being a fan, is the rugby shirt. This preppy classic was a standout during the Spring 2025 shows in Copenhagen, reimagined in a range of cuts and silhouettes. Try a slim fit version with a long skirt and sporty accessories for the ultimate spring fashion formula. Or go oversized with a pleated skirt, or even style it solo as a shirt dress — just as cool, with half the effort. Bag charms Bag charms have been the go-to accoutrement for several seasons now — and for good reason. They're quite literally charming and offer an easy way to showcase your personality. Plus, they deliver a little dopamine hit to even the most mundane of carry-alls. While many fashion brands now offer their own trinkets (see: Coach's viral cherry charm), you can easily DIY your own with bits and bobs you already have. Try colourful beads, frilly ribbons or random knick-knacks — when it comes to this trend, anything goes.

The 8 Must-Have Bags For Effortless Summer Style In 2025
Your choice of summer bag says a lot – that is, almost everything and nothing – about you. For example: are you an aspirant Jane Birkin, cycling around the south of France with several hair brushes and bottles of wine stowed in a woven basket? Are you a Dua Lipa-type, braving the intense, polluted heat of New York with just about everything you own on full display in a mesh Alaïa carryall? Or are you an Amalita Amalfi – surely the most glamorous of the Sex and The City -ers – padding the starboard side of a yacht with a raffia Valentino shoulder bag embroidered with all sorts of kitsch florals? These bags are serotonin, portable personalities, on-ramps to whatever [insert-#girl-summer-here] you are gearing up towards – and there is no shortage of moods to explore. Photo: Jane Birkin, 1973. David Thorpe (Getty Images) Here, eight of this season's trending styles to carry you through the summer months in style. Canvas totes First up on the list is the classic canvas bag, which, despite being a year-round wardrobe essential for glamorous commuters – an oxymoron if there ever was one – really comes into its own when the days turn long and warm and bright. Whether you're strolling along the beach on holiday or running errands in a supermarket, this versatile piece adds a dose of laid-back sophistication to any outfit. Photo: Miu Miu via FarFetch Miu Miu Ivy canvas tote bag, AED9,000 Straw bags The essence of sun-kissed beaches, picnics, and Slack-free days in nature, no summer is complete without a straw bag. Close your eyes and you can almost hear the Whispering Angels singing from inside them. The options, of course, are endless: from oversized maxis (perfect for a day lounging poolside) to diminutive babies (ideal for an aperitif as the sun melts into the horizon). Photo: Jacquemus via FarFetch Jacquemus Le Petit Soli Basket bag, AED1,275 Raffia bags For the past few years, Prada's raffia tote bag has been a cult purchase, with the likes of Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Gigi Hadid, Dua Lipa and Hailey Bieber all photographed clutching the summery style both at home and on holiday. Just about every brand has, of course, caught wind since – and with good reason: they're light, durable and worn always with a casual ease. Prada Crochet tote bag, AED7,800 Basket bags There is a bohemian charm to the humble basket bag. They're rustic, nonchalant and a little bit French – evoking the image of a 1970s Jane Birkin, and a collective yearning for the simpler days of yore. It's about mixing fashion with down-to-earth practicality, all breezy sundresses, denim and floppy hats. Photo: Chloé via Luisaviaroma Chloé Small Woody bucket top handle bag, AED2,019 Woven bags If you are looking for an alternative to nostalgic summer accessories, let us suggest the woven, or intrecciato, bag. It's a little more of an all-rounder than the seasonal basket bag, a little more inconspicuous, but the lightness of the weaving makes it perfect for hot and heavy days. STELLA MCCARTNEY Ryder woven tote, AED7,160 Colour-pop bags Summer is the season when nature's colour palette bursts into bloom, and so it perhaps makes perfect sense that our wardrobes follow suit. From pastel hues to vibrant tropical prints, a zingy bag is a clarion call to shake off the lingering gloom of the colder months. Photo: MM6 Maison Margiela MM6 Maison Margiela Classic Japanese mesh handbag, AED1,177 Farm-to-table bags A floral-printed, fruit-speckled bag is an obvious, mood-boosting choice for the summer season. Call it farm-to-table fashion. Photo: Valentino Garavani Transparent bags Brave is the individual willing to reveal the true contents of their bag at any given moment. But isn't that what summer's all about? Living carefree, spontaneous, unencumbered? Letting it all… hang out? Alaïa Medium mesh tote bag, AED5,027 Article originally published on Vogue Italy

My 9 top summer style icons, from Tom Cruise to Arthur Ashe
Summer is almost here, which is troubling, particularly if you're a man who wears clothes. As the days lengthen and the temperature rises, we — men — are required to cast aside the easy comfort of coats, jumpers and trousers and transition into our summer wardrobe. It's a testing time with nowhere to hide. And while there is always the option of 'shorts and T-shirt', there's a real risk that you just end up looking like a toddler with gigantism, particularly if you're into Velcro sandals and ice lollies. Which unfortunately I am. So what's the solution? It's mostly a question of inspiration — past or present. Look around you. Who looks good in hot weather? Whom can you copy? Because once you've identified your

Why this 'impossibly comfy' slide is fast becoming the 'IT shoe' of winter 2025
A cosy new shoe is taking on the likes of Crocs, Teva and Birkenstocks as the unlikely 'IT shoe' of the season - and it's not hard to see why. With comfy and practical shoes all the rage thanks to the rapidly rising 'coastal grandma' trend - it's easy to understand why everyone's talking about the new FitFlop Curly Shearling Leather Slides. Described by some as a 'designer slide meets Ugg', the slick sandals combine luxurious comfort with modern style and are the perfect addition to a pair of jeans, trackies or Pilates get-up. The best part is that they are built with the brand's advanced ergonomic technology and offer superior support and cushioning - no unsightly bunions or blisters. The latter explains the premium price of $219.95 - but those who have tried them out say they're worth every cent. Available in chocolate brown and stone beige, the slides feature a premium leather upper with curly shearling detailing for a plush feel. Complete with a two-bar design, the slide is then accented with adjustable buckles, ensuring a secure and customisable fit. And the reviews speak for themselves, with hundreds gushing about their slides - and other designs from the brand - online. 'They're comfy they're cute they're cosy... you'll see me in these daily,' Tate of the Sunkissed Folk said, wtith fans raving about her new kicks. 'Oh I need this,' one wrote. 'Love them,' agreed another. Robynn Kelly, a Marketing Specialist at Bstore, said the rise of practical, comfy footwear reflects today's fast-paced, wellness-focused lifestyle. 'People want style and support - they are prioritising wellness and want shoes that feel as good as they look,' she told FEMAIL. 'Comfort is no longer a luxury; it's a must. FitFlop is doubling down on this space, continually evolving our tech-led designs to offer even more versatile, stylish, all-day-wear options 'Chunky sandals, sporty sneakers, clogs, and minimalist slides are big [this year]. Think comfort-first with a modern edge.' Robynn believes the slides' success is down to the comfort and transitional style. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Tate. (@thesunkissedfolk) What is the 'coastal grandma' trend? Think of this style as a perfect mix of lifestyle and fashion trends combined. Popularised on TikTok, 'Coastal Grandma' evokes a relaxed, elegant, and carefree vibe reminiscent of wealthy women living in picturesque seaside towns. Think linen everything, relaxed fits, cosy knit cardigans, scuffed shearling slippers and the perfect basket bag to hit the farmers' market with. 'With soft leather, plush shearling lining, and bold buckles, they blend comfort with effortless style,' she said. 'Perfect for transitional dressing, they move seamlessly from indoors to out - pairing just as well with knits as they do with summer dresses.' FitFlop was founded in 2007 by Marcia Kilgore, a serial entrepreneur passionate about wellness and innovative design. Her vision was to create footwear that combined style with biomechanical support - shoes that feel as good as they look. Collaborating with expert biomechanists, FitFlop developed ergonomic soles that empower wearers to move more freely and comfortably. Today, the brand is known worldwide for pioneering fashion-forward designs that prioritise all-day support.
