Things to love about spring: blue skies, temperatures above 12 degrees, and lots of new fashion trends. After months bundled up in winter outfits like faux fur coats and knee-high boots or even pajamas on work-from-home days the appeal has worn off. Here at the Cosmo fashion desk, we are eagerly awaiting warmer weather. A new season means more than a change in the forecast; it’s a chance to embrace the Spring Summer 2025 fashion trends we first saw last September.
While we can’t change the current weather (unfortunately, unlike Mean Girls’ Karen, we can’t predict rain), we can share what’s in store for the Spring Summer 2025 fashion trends. Expect the biggest styles, colors, prints, and must-have pieces that will dominate the upcoming season, straight from the designer runways. Plus, we’ll show you how to wear these trends right now because we just can’t wait.
We’ve scoured the runways of New York, London, Paris, and Milan to bring you the must-know trends this season. We’ve narrowed down our favorites to seven of the biggest and most wearable trends. And don’t worry, they all work perfectly for now.

These trends will refresh your wardrobe and bring a new, stylish vibe to your spring and summer outfits. Get ahead and start adding these key pieces to your look now!
Soft Focus
You’ve likely noticed the trend of naked dressing on the red carpet, embraced by celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Ice Spice, and Maya Jama. While freeing the nip might not be appropriate for everyday settings like work or grocery shopping, the Spring Summer 2025 fashion trends aim to offer a solution.
Designers like Chanel, McQueen, and Stella McCartney draped models in sheer chiffon in soft pastel hues and brighter bursts of color. For those not keen on baring it all, take inspiration from Brandon Maxwell by layering transparent tulle dresses, skirts, tops, or trousers over tank tops and full-coverage knickers or bike shorts. The result? A lightweight, layered look with textural depth, akin to applying a retro soft focus filter to your outfit.
Sports Luxe
Last year, Gorpcore was the big trend, and the love for athleisure isn’t fading anytime soon. However, it’s getting an upgrade—think elevated sportswear paired with sequins, fancy fringing, and feathered frocks. Designers like Coperni, Prada, Burberry, and Dior are leading the way. Tolu Coker transformed the ’80s shellsuit into a chic, structured co-ord, while Gucci added fingerless racing and boxing gloves to party-ready mini dresses for a subtle blend of formal and casual.
We’re on board with this trend to get more wear out of our Christmas party dresses and to dress up our favorite tracksuit bottoms for both the desk and the dance floor but definitely not for the gym. Spring Summer 2025 fashion trends are all about merging comfort with luxury, making every day a stylish affair.
Float Away
It seems balloon hems, peplums, and exaggerated silhouettes aren’t going anywhere soon. In fact, they’ve become even more prominent, with puffy, cloud-like creations at Alaïa, gravity-defying skirts at JW Anderson, and bubble tiers at Chloé and Simone Rocha.
Keep your outfit simple and let your hemline steal the show. If you get it right, it will be the focal point of your look and hard to miss. The Spring Summer 2025 fashion trends are all about making a statement with your hemline and embracing these voluminous styles.
Powder pink
After a summer of Barbiecore in 2023 (thanks to Margot Robbie), the fashion scene shifted in 2024 to a fiercer tone, with red taking the spotlight. However, for Spring Summer 2025 fashion trends, the pendulum has swung back to pink—this time in a much subtler, softer hue. This gentle shade aligns perfectly with the romantic trends spotted on the runways. Powder pink was everywhere this season, and it’s time to let go of Barbie and embrace your new style icon, Glinda. Shout out to Ariana!
While color drenching is the fashion world’s go-to method, don’t shy away from having fun with this trend. Bottega Veneta experimented with textures, Roksanda played with proportions, and Akris mixed silhouettes to give powder pink a fresh, cool edge. If you’re going to try one trend, make it this one. Not only is it trendy, but it’s also the easiest to incorporate into your current wardrobe.
Utilitarian Update
This season, we’re moving beyond boilersuits and countryside barn jackets. Instead, think practical pieces like multi-pocket cargo pants, rain-ready cagoules, and D-ring embellished separates in shades of khaki green and basic brown. These items are dressed up for any occasion, from casual outings to more polished settings.
Designers like 3.1 Phillip Lim and Zimmermann have given the utilitarian aesthetic a chic and glamorous twist. Cargo shirt dresses are updated with sequinned fringed hems, and beige drawstring jackets are paired with flowing satin skirts. Who knew practicality could look so elegant? This trend showcases the balance many of us seek in our wardrobes, merging functionality with style. The Spring Summer 2025 fashion trends are all about embracing this utilitarian yet fashionable look.
