Spring is just around the corner, and that means fresh trends, lighter layers, and the perfect excuse to refresh your wardrobe! Whether you love a polished, preppy look or something a little more relaxed, here’s what you’ll be seeing everywhere this spring—and how to wear it effortlessly. Let’s talk about this year’s spring trends and how to wear them in style!
Spring Trends and How to Wear Them
Coastal Prep Revival
Think striped tops, pleated skirts, polished sweaters, and lightweight knits in soft pastels and nautical-inspired hues. And boat loafers are riding the wave too!
How to Wear It: Pair a blue-and-white set with high-waisted white shorts/jeans and leather loafers to create an easy, polished look. Add gold jewelry and a woven tote for a chic finishing touch. Or go for a striped dress with espadrilles for an effortless spring look.
Feminine Florals with a Twist
Florals go bigger and bolder with watercolor prints and intricate embroidery. From traditional dainty prints to oversized floral and rosette statements, the floral styles will be blooming in spring!
How to Wear It: Opt for flowy floral maxi dresses with natural accessories, floral blouses* over tailored trousers for a polished touch, or an embroidered floral dress with pastel sandals.

The “Old Money” Aesthetic
The old money aesthetic continues to reign in 2025, embodying quiet luxury, timeless elegance, and effortless sophistication. This is about quality over quantity, timeless style, and effortless refinement.
How to Wear It: Focus on luxury fabrics and minimal accessories. For example, a silk slip dress layered with a cashmere cardigan is the perfect balance of elegance and ease. For a more casual style, add tailored flare leg denim, with a simple v-neck shirt and elevated ball cap. (I love these ball caps designed specifically for women to dress up every day outfits.)
Ballet Flats & Raffia Footwear
Ballet flats are back in a big way, alongside dainty kitten heels and elegant slingbacks. We are also seeing a lot of natural and raffia materials used to craft these pieces.
How to Wear It: Pair classic ballet flats with cropped trousers and a crisp button-down, or wear elevated platform sandals with a flowy sundress.
Belted Dresses & Waist-Cinching Silhouettes
Defined waists are a major focus this season, with statement belts adding structure to flowy dresses and oversized blazers. There are so many adorable spring styles that have coordinating belts crafted as part of the dress!
How to Wear It: Find a gorgeous belted floral dress. Or add a statement belt to a flowy maxi dress for a polished shape. I own and LOVE this belt!
Live your life joyfully so,
Ashley
