Below, you’ll find 10 foolproof spring outfit ideas to use as your guide for the season ahead.
Everyday Elegance, Achieved
The foundation of any chic spring capsule wardrobe begins with an elegant white dress. Another Tomorrow’s strappy poplin pick features a slight drop-waist and open-back for the ultimate twist on a classic. Style it with something equally as sleek, such as this blue-and-white checkered coat from The Row. Accessories include Alex Mill’s tassel-adorned suede loafers, Dragon Diffusion’s signature woven tote bag, and a welcome pop of color by way of statement jewels from Dries Van Noten and Wales Bonner.
Maximalism for Minimalists
Sequin, woven leather, and mesh give new meaning to your staples this spring. So much so that even self-proclaimed minimalists are opting for a splashy touch or two. Below, layer up like a true fashion girl in one of Kallmeyer’s beloved striped tees, Barbour’s corduroy-trimmed barn jacket, and Zara’s pailette-encrusted midiskirt—sequins’ shelf-life extends way past the holidays, in our opinion. A pair of Bottega Veneta ballet flats, Savette’s see-through tote, and Éliou’s beaded necklace are finishing touches that elevate this inherently playful look.
Pop of Pink
Butter yellow, ice blue, and mint green are just a few of spring’s trending hues. The sweetest shade of all to style out though is a pale pink, as seen both on the SS25 runways and the streets of Paris of Milan during Fashion Month. Here, turn to Abadia’s bubblegum button-up in a sumptuous silk with Proenza Schouler’s slouchy leather bomber jacket and a pair of wide-leg blue jeans from Agolde. Allow your accessories to build depth and contrast—think Saint Laurent’s leopard-print mules, Massimo Dutti’s woven leather tote, and Alighieri’s red-hot cord necklace.
Florals for Spring
Florals for spring? Loewe’s fresh-off-the-runway silk dress is most definitely groundbreaking. Style it for the season ahead with Toteme’s tailored suede coat, a pair of burgundy flip-flops from Bottega Veneta, and J.Crew’s roomy suede tote to match. Resort-ready accessories in the form of of Bode’s bohemian crochet cap and Juju Vera’s dangly shell earrings are what makes this outfit sing.
The Return of the All-White Outfit
One way to celebrate the official start of the warm weather months? An all-white outfit. While we’ve debunked the antiquated idea that wearing white before Memorial Day is a fashion faux-pas, there is still something especially festive about wearing a bright monochromatic look as soon as daylight saving time turns the clock forward. Get behind the tona formula, starting with Cos’s knitted-collar trench coat, a pair of Levi’s 501s, and Gucci’s ribbed tank top. Hunting Season’s raffia tote and Nike’s burgundy LD-1000 sneakers break up the neutral tones beautifully.
Minimal Effort, High-Reward
Sporting a slinky slip dress during the warmer months is a style no-brainer. Not only are they an extremely practical pick to combat peak heat, but they’re very much on trend for the season ahead. From Dries Van Noten to Chloé, ’00s-era-inspired slips are making a notable and very much welcome return to the fashion scene. This spring and summer, slip into Róhe’s romantic lace-trimmed option with Cos’s suede jacket for a touch of texture. Other outfit enhancers include Le Monde Beryl’s woven heeled mules, Khaite’s croc-embellished tote bag, and jewels from David Yurman and Lié Studio.
Buttered Up
When we’re not going full bubble-yum for pale pink, we’re melting into buttery yellow. Incorporate the trending spring shade into your everyday lineup with Ami Paris’s menswear-inspired wool shirt, a pair of pleated Bermuda shorts from & Other Stories, and The Row’s black-and-red flip-flops that we crowned hero-item status earlier this season. Meanwhile, Isabel Marant’s shell-detailed necklace and Cos’s raffia bucket hat transition straight into summer with stylish ease.
Pajama-Like Polish
Pajama-like pants were everywhere for spring and summer 2024—and so far, 2025 is proving to be no different. Deiji Studio’s yellow-and-white striped pair just hit the scene and we immediately had visions of styling it with a sleek thong sandal, little black bikini top, and sandy beach bag on vacation. Until then, we’ll be sporting ours with Marie Adam-Leenaerdt’s draped scarf top, Nour Hammour’s oversized suede barn jacket, and Loewe’s mini Pebble tote in a rich burgundy.
Poplin Perfection
It’s true: Easy, breezy spring dressing begins and ends with a white poplin midiskirt. This late-March, Proenza Schouler White Label’s A-line skirt is especially on our minds (and in our shopping carts!), pairing well with everything from Citizens of Humanity’s cropped trench coat to Skall Studio’s striped Breton tee. For casual weekend affairs, throw on the effortlessly chic spring outfit with a pair of emerald green Hunter boots, Polo Ralph Lauren’s navy cap, and Saint Laurent’s slouchy raffia shoulder bag.
Sport-Forward
Even modern ladylike dressers are embracing their sportier side this season. And with sartorial encouragement coming from Ms. Miuccia Prada herself, who could ever refuse? Model a look that belongs any where but the track with Prada’s navy zip-up in nylon, a pair of slate grey trousers from Lemaire, and Autry’s suede sneakers. Then, breathe some fresh spring air into the look courtesy of Favorite Daughter’s citron-colored tee and St. Agni’s trendy east-west handbag.
