If you looked at my screen time, you might think I'm a shopaholic glued to TikTok and Pinterest. While that assumption isn't far off, there's more to the story. In my job, I spend a lot of time scrolling for inspiration, curating trends, and, of course, creating a wishlist. After exploring the spring fashion trends for 2025, I've found 10 items that have me ready to click 'add to cart.'

Bangles: Go Big or Go Home
This spring, chunky bangles have completely captured my attention. I've seen everything from bold, heavy styles to colorful acrylics, and I'm loving them all. Personally, I enjoy mixing metals; stacks of silver and gold bangles look stunning together. These statement pieces instantly elevate simple outfits like white tees. As the weather transitions, layer them over your jacket sleeves for a chic touch.

Boat Shoes: A Spring Staple
While I may not own a yacht, I'm definitely adding boat shoes to my wardrobe this season. I'm not a fan of flip-flops, but these comfy shoes are perfect for slipping off at the beach. They exude effortless style, especially for those in the know. I envision pairing them with everything from white linen outfits to casual looks with boxer shorts and tees.

Jewelry for Your Hair
This spring trend may seem extravagant, but it's truly practical. Hair cuffs are the ultimate solution for bad hair days. When my hair is uncooperative, I simply braid it, add a cuff, and instantly look polished. It's a small detail that makes a big difference. Try a hair tie with a built-in cuff for a chic ponytail or use smaller cuffs in intricate styles for added flair. Whether heading to an event or a casual day out, hair cuffs are an affordable way to elevate your look.

City-Girl Barn Jackets
After last year's countryside chic trend, barn jackets are back with a modern twist. Designers are updating these classic pieces with details like unique collars and tailored silhouettes, ensuring they remain stylish and relevant. I love wearing a jacket that stands out with a simple monochrome outfit, but these versatile pieces pair beautifully with sundresses and jeans alike.

Sporty Chic
From stirrup leggings to designer track shorts, athleisure is merging beautifully with street style this spring. Workout wear is no longer gym-exclusive; designers are giving comfy classics a stylish twist, making them perfect for everyday outfits. I enjoy pairing stirrup leggings with kitten heels or nylon shorts with cozy knits, showcasing that sporty pieces can be as fashionable as they are functional.

Butter, Meet Chartreuse
When tracking trends in my job, I often notice how colors evolve over time. A trending color rarely disappears suddenly; it gradually transforms into something new. For instance, last year's bold reds have softened into deep burgundy, and buttery yellow is shifting into a muted yellow-green chartreuse for spring. This earthy yet vibrant hue is ideal for a seasonal pop. Start small with accessories, and work your way up to statement pieces as you get comfortable.

In the Cropped Trenches
Trench coats are timeless spring layers, and this year, cropped styles are taking the lead. I've always found long trenches a bit dramatic, so I'm excited to embrace this more casual cropped version. It's perfect for errands paired with leggings or casual lunches with jeans. Plus, if you're traveling, the cropped style is a space-saver in your suitcase.

Layers Are Sheer To Stay
Sheer organza layers have dominated fashion for the past year, and they're still going strong this spring. One staple? Delicate sheer layers over mini skirts offer a flirty look without exposing pale legs. I love pairing these layers with oversized tees and sneakers for a casual day out or a structured blazer and heels for an evening out. Fully sheer pieces make for lovely cover-ups on tropical getaways.

Your Grandma's Brooch
One trend that might not require a new purchase: vintage or vintage-inspired brooches. These timeless accessories add a unique touch to any outfit and often come with a story. Pin one on a crisp white tee or denim jacket for an unexpected detail, or replace a bag charm with a brooch for a fresh look. This trend is your cue to connect with family and see if they have any brooches to share—score unique pieces and create lasting memories.

Fringe Benefits
Some fashion trends sneak up on me, and fringe is one of them. After seeing a photo of Courtney Grow in a vintage fringe jacket, I began spotting this fun texture everywhere. From jackets to skirts to bags, fringe is an easy way to add movement to your spring outfits. While suede is popular, lighter shades work wonderfully for spring. Denim fringe also adds a fresh seasonal touch.
