From fresh spring looks to maximalist outfit ideas, let these Instagram-approved fashion moments inspire your street style …
Button-up cardigans are still firmly in favour with the fashion pack. Especially when worn with a pared-back black outfit. (Speaking of head-to-toe black, see an edit of what cool women in New York are wearing here.)
Modernise classic pieces with jeans, and discreet hair and makeup. We love the simplicity of this look, whether you’re dressing for work or simply upgrading your coffee-run outfit.
Spring walks are sorted with a lightweight but warm wax jacket. Layer with knitwear now, or a ribbed long-sleeved T-shirt when the weather thaws.
Say yes to a statement coat that elevates even the most simple of outfits. This Charlotte Simone faux-fur trim jacket is on our outerwear wishlist.
Are spring socks a thing? They are if you choose a super-soft pair that slouch perfectly, and team them with your favourite loafers.
Swap out ankle boots for a pair of stand-out trainers in zinging spring colours.
Whether you opt for a rugby top or a classic knit, red stripes are trending. We love how this one goes so well with a trending brown suede jacket.
Trench coat season is incoming. This season, why not consider a leather style as a daring alternative? Tip: the dressier the coat, the less effort you’re required to make underneath. Win-win.
Dressing for the commute just got upgraded … rethink double denim by pairing it with statement (but comfortable) shoes and an impossibly stylish bike, naturally.
Have fun with fashion by mixing minimal and maximal pieces. On paper, a tiered skirt and sailor hat combination sounds rather extra, but in reality this outfit is cleverly counter-balanced by a simple shirt and classic tweed blazer.
Style notes: Jen Azoulay’s curation of vintage pieces, such as this cropped jacket, blends seamlessly with current season and contemporary finds. Perfection.
While we may not be wearing a silky set and trending red tights yet, the memo is: don’t be afraid to clash. As a guide, stick to tonal colours when clashing patterns.
Maximalist doesn’t have to mean colourful or printed. Often the best outfits play with proportions and lean into exaggerated shapes, per this neutral look.
If in doubt: go for metallics – and lots of them!
An easy way to inject personality into your outfit? A vintage-look headscarf, especially if accessorised with a brightly coloured handbag. Even better if any of the above is by Hermès.
A pair of ladylike floral mules feels very Carrie Bradshaw-coded. Don’t forget to finish your look with statement sunglasses, too.
Seeking an alternative to the standard trench coat? Opt for a high-shine version in a noteworthy colour such as burgundy.
A statement, printed jacket paired with trainers is an ultra cool look for those who don’t even have to try. (Shop an edit of trending new season styles here.)
JJ Martin, the founder of decadent homewares brand La DoubleJ (read all about the brand’s collaboration with LA denim maestros MOTHER here) knows how to work playful print and searing colour. We love how she teams an outré item of clothing with low-key make-up and undone hair.
Looking to expand your office attire? Lean into masculine suiting à la Annie Hall. A two-piece with a tie is delectably Diane Keaton-coded.
Regardless of trends, double denim is always a classic look. Opt for contrasting denim tones, with a darker wash on top and lighter on the bottom, plus the addition of a luxurious belt.
Revel in the idea of cream. Delicate, feminine and spring-like, the warmer alternative to white is always stylish. Look for options such as a great cream blazer or a statement slip dress in the vein of Amsterdam brand Róhe.
Trench coat, straight-leg jeans, square-toe boots and a butter-soft leather bag: behold, the perfect spring outfit.
Liven up your favourite staples (shop the spring basics we’re coveting here) with a floor-sweeping textured jacket.
We’re dreaming of trading our winter coats to spring-like wax jacket, especially the latest Barbour x Alexa Chung collection.
Speaking of wax jackets, we love this khaki shade, teamed with denim and a striking pair of flats.
In case you missed it, cropped jackets are the ‘It’ buy that has longevity. Think boxy shapes, a utilitarian aesthetic and neutral colours.
We love the drama of cow print, especially when it’s splashed across statement loafers and handbags. Take a no-holds-barred approach to dressing by teaming the print with subtle stripes.
Never underestimate the power of a statement necklace. This shell pendant by New York-based brand Juju Vera transforms an otherwise functional turtleneck and high-waisted jeans combination. Team it with plain separates or a statement dress to add interest to your spring wardrobe.
The coolest way to liven up a perfunctory winter look – is with an unexpected shot of red. Look for a knitted jumper, or a triangle scarf, in a shade of chilli or scarlet.
Wearing white points to brighter skies, longer days and less turbulent weather. A white coat is a standout piece, white jeans and knits make for good alternative options (shop an edit of our favourite, Irish-designed knits here).
Speaking of the aforementioned pop of red, consider a pair of red socks to be a gamechanger.
Update your outfit by nodding to the most popular trainer trends of 2025 (shop an edit of the trainers trending now here).
Dressing up? It might still be a tad chilly out, so mix things up with a pair of patent boots. If this sounds like a lot of effort, stick just to one or two colours (keep things simple in black, we say) and it will make for an effortless look.
Try a little high-low dressing. While the basis of this ‘fit – jeans and a turtleneck – relies on staples, the addition of point-toe boots and a striking utility jacket (plus, a great structured bag) make things a little more interesting.
According to the Pantone Colour Institute, the colour of 2025 is Mocha Mousse, a rich brown that sits somewhere between beige and chocolate. Work the look with a transitional jacket and chunky footwear.
Ensure your denim speaks to the now. A pair of C-shape or barrel-leg jeans, particularly ones with a turn-up, are the darling of the denim scene.
Liven things up with an interesting hat. Whether you embrace a sheepskin style, a beret or a ladylike chapeau, it’s the perfect way to upgrade your outerwear.
Rebel against the minimalist looks that flood your feed (we love them, but we also crave something different) with a vintage-inspired look that nods to the 1970s. Think wide-leg jeans, ruffled blouses, suede accessories, as well as shades of oxblood and tobacco.
When it comes to transitional dressing, the devil is in the details. A flared sleeve top adds drama to tailored trousers or capri pants.
A great spring blouse is the ultimate outfit boost. Look to light colours and details like a pussy-bow to keep your look contemporary. Style it with jeans for a high-low contrast.
Minimalism may be popular, but that doesn’t mean we can’t embrace colour or pattern. In fact, we love how a playful print is grounded with simple denim and a pair of boat shoes in this look.
Denim skirts, particular mid-length versions with swing, are big news for spring. If you really want to commit, team yours with a denim shirt, which is a key piece for the new season.
The fashion world might be embracing new denim shapes such as barrel, or curved legs, but we love the idea of a turn-up hem as a way to refresh a denim look.
The new season inverts classic pieces, with a new edge. The key to making spring linens more formal and less about holidaywear is coordination. A matching linen jacket and dress, in a ladylike shape, is perfect for city dressing.
Liven up your look by double-dosing on knitwear. Bonus points if one of your knits is a spring-appropriate lemon yellow!
Say hello to spring with an off-white blazer. Collarless styles are trending now and we think this fitted option from Danish brand By Malina has a nicely vintage leaning. Add a belt to yours to enhance its feminine feel.
Dressing for after-dark? Be led by a dramatic pair of printed trousers, with the rest of your outfit relying on simple staples like a great blazer and knit. Embrace the drama of a statement cuff, too.
We may still be wearing jackets, but the joy of brighter weather means we’re layering them with T-shirts rather than knits. Off-set a dressy, faux fur trim jacket with a simple white T-shirt. (Plus, swat up on the best under €200 basics to anchor your SS25 wardrobe here.)
