13 Spring/Summer 2025 Fashion Trends
1. Bomber Jackets
Bomber jackets are making a major statement in 2025, proving that sporty chic is here to stay. Lightweight and stylish, they're the perfect transitional piece for unpredictable spring weather.
Cropped felt bomber jackets are stealing the show, with soft, neutral-toned styles from Zara, EGO, and New Look taking centre stage. But that doesn’t mean you can’t opt for an oversized leather bomber from Bershka or go bold with a metallic or satin bomber from Urban Outfitters.
Pair with a micro skirt for a Y2K-inspired look, or throw one over an athleisure set for an effortless model-off-duty vibe.
2. Butter Yellow
Soft, sweet, and effortlessly kitsch, butter yellow is the must-have colour for spring/summer 2025.
This creamy pastel shade brings light and playful vibes to any outfit. Whether you opt for a breezy butter yellow sundress, a tailored blazer, or a cosy knit for cooler evenings, this hue is perfect for brightening up your wardrobe.
Mango and Reiss have some stunning butter-yellow pieces, from floaty midi dresses to chic linen trousers. For a budget-friendly option, check out ASOS and H&M for stylish yellow basics that will have you looking effortlessly on-trend.
3. Bubble Hems
The 1980s bubble hem made a bigger, bouncier comeback in 2024, and it's taking over again in 2025! This playful silhouette adds volume and movement to dresses and skirts, making it a fun choice for summer events.
Whether you opt for a dramatic bubble-hem midi dress or a more subtle bubble-hem mini skirt, this trend brings a whimsical touch to any outfit. Pair with strappy heels for a night out, or dress it down with ballet flats for a casual day look.
P.S. For an adorable micro-skirt look with a bit of extra coverage, try a bubble hem skort!
4. Waistcoat Tops
The ‘office siren’ trend of 2024 was controversial, but that doesn’t mean sexy and stylish office looks are off the cards!
Sleek, structured, and surprisingly versatile, waistcoat tops are one of the most effortless ways to add a chic twist to your work wardrobe or polish up your summer looks.
Whether you opt for a tailored version from Mango or a more relaxed linen waistcoat from H&M, these tops work beautifully with everything from tailored trousers to denim cut-offs. Style your cropped waistcoat with wide-leg linen trousers and loafers (like these Loro Piana dupes) for an ultra-chic work-to-post-work-drinks look.
5. Boho Styles
Boho fashion isn’t just for the fields of Glasto anymore! It’s had a refined makeover for 2025.
Think embroidered maxi dresses, crochet tops, and peasant blouses that feel more elevated than festival-ready. Brands like Free People and Anthropologie are leading the way with billowy silhouettes, earthy tones, and delicate lace details. Can’t stretch to £150 a dress? We’ve got you covered with our Free People Dupes roundup!
Try a flowing boho dress with Birkenstocks for an effortless summer vibe, or pop a crochet top over a bikini for your chic beachside looks. Crochet jumpers are the perfect transitional item to layer over spring fits or to keep you warm after the summer sun sets.
6. Micro Skirts
Micro skirts have been proving that less is more since the ‘90s, and they’re still every bit as popular with Gen-Z fashion fanatics in 2025.
Channel American Apparel energy with a pleated tennis skirt, add a touch of class with an ultra-short wrap skirt, or keep it simple with an A-line micro skirt. Hollister, Bershka, Motel, and Urban Outfitters have plenty of barely-there styles to choose from.
Style with knee-high boots for a preppy vibe, wear with a boho bandeau and Hermes sandals on holiday, or pair with an oversized t-shirt for that classic big-top little-bottom look we all love!
7. Micro Shorts
Prefer shorts to skirts? Not a problem! Say goodbye to the boy short trend of last year and hello to shorter-than-shorts!
Plain colours and simple cotton fabrics pair perfectly with an oversized bomber or denim jacket and ballet flats. Or, channel your inner Victorian with bloomer-style frilly micro shorts, with brands like Urban Outfitters and Jaded London putting a modern twist on a vintage silhouette.
8. Petal Pink
Pastel pink is adorably feminine and screams spring, so it joins butter yellow as the colour of the season!
Got a spring/summer wedding coming up? Try a satin midi dress in this tone. Channel your inner girl boss by styling a matching blazer with tailored trousers for an ultra-chic monochrome moment.
Can’t quite commit to the bold all-pink? Opt for accessories like a blush-coloured Longchamps handbag or pastel ballet flats.
9. Low-Rise Jeans
Love it or hate it, low-rise jeans are officially back. This time, they’re styled with a more relaxed, effortless vibe – think slouchy fits and wide legs rather than ultra-tight cuts.
Brands like Abercrombie and Zara are offering modern takes on the trend, making it easy to incorporate into your everyday wardrobe. For a casual ’90s-inspired look, pair low-rise baggy jeans with a cropped tank, chunky sneakers, and some shades (we love Celine dupes and Ray-Ban dupes for this style).
Barrel, distressed, boyfriend, and baggy are all on the cards, with some fashionistas even daring to bring back bootcut!
10. Cropped Trenches
Trench coats are a transitional staple, but this year, we’re seeing them with a stylish twist: short trench coats are in.
These cool jackets keep the same neutral colourways, large lapel collars, and double-breasted button features as the traditional trench but cut off most of the length. The result? A perfect all-rounder spring jacket.
Wear with jeans, skirts, and tailored trousers, or dress it up by layering over a mini dress with kitten heels for a night out. We love this 2025 take on a classic piece.
11. Athleisure
Comfort meets style in athleisure. Think sleek, buttery-soft leggings, stylish crop tops, and elevated hoodies or zip-up jackets that work just as well for brunch as they do for the gym.
Lululemon, Alo Yoga, and Gymshark are big-name activewear brands that look effortlessly put together. Want to look the part on a budget? Don’t sleep on Lululemon dupes and Adanola dupes to get that pilates-chic look for less.
Pair a fitted tank and flared yoga pants with a cropped bomber jacket for a sporty-chic ensemble, or opt for a matching activewear co-ord for an easy, stylish look.
12. Coquette Aesthetic
Coquette fashion made its debut in 2024, and, largely thanks to a certain Miss Carpenter, it looks to be sticking around this year. Think ultra-feminine with frills, pastel colours, lace, bows, ruffles, and vintage-inspired details.
From pink, lacey tank tops to babydoll slips and ballet slip-ons, this trend is O-T-T adorable! Shop at mainstream retailers like Shein and Princess Polly and independent coquette-style stores like Lace Made and Djerf Avenue.
Can’t commit to the full coquette look? Zimmermann dupes are the perfect solution for incorporating romantic style in a subtler way.
13. Denim Skirts
Denim is a classic; this year, it's all about the skirts. Last year, denim skirts were short and sweet, but for summer 2025, longline denim maxi skirts are in the spotlight. From A-line knee-length styles to floaty asymmetrical floor-length numbers, there’s still plenty of variety within this trend.
Brands like M&S, Levi’s, and Nobody’s Child offer great denim staples that can be dressed up with heeled sandals or kept casual with sneakers. Pair with a floaty blouse, strappy tank, or waistcoat top to complete the look.
