The Spring Fashion Trends to Know

Spring fashion is blooming with fresh trends to match your personal style. This season's star among the spring fashion colours is powder pink – softer and more wearable than the bold Barbie hues of previous seasons. It's the kind of shade that lifts any outfit.

And what's spring without florals? Okay, florals for spring might not be groundbreaking, but this year's blooms have a charming, nostalgic, almost vintage feel to them – just perfect for those early summer weddings and garden parties in the calendar.

For those who love to mix things up, sportswear is getting a playful makeover. Try unexpected combinations like pairing your favourite floaty dress with a parka, or tap into the preppy trend by teaming a bomber jacket with a sleek pencil skirt.

If you’re planning a trend-led spring capsule wardrobe, these are the key pieces you need to be well-dressed all season long.

A floral dress: The perfect floral dress is one of the cornerstone spring clothing trends – and possibly the most versatile. Accessorise with heels and a clutch bag and your issue of what to wear to a wedding will be sorted. Or throw on a denim jacket and trainers for a relaxed everyday look.

Wide-leg trousers: A pair of wide-leg sporty-style trousers is an easy way to tap into the athleisure trend. Choose a neutral shade like beige or navy for the ultimate in wearability. Add metallic heels and bomber-style cardigan for a polished take on sport-luxe that works from day to night.

A pink knit: Smart-casual spring outfits start with a soft pink cardigan. Pair it with carrot leg jeans for a relaxed vibe, or layer it over a floral dress for a touch of romance.

A midi skirt: Tap into spring's most-wanted look with a pink slip skirt. A maxi satin skirt ticks two trends at once: the colour of the season and the Nineties revival. Style with an oversized bomber for maximum impact.

Ballet pumps: Studded pumps and soft pastel shades prove this ballerina-inspired staple is anything but basic. These elevated flats balance comfort with current trends – think sweet with an edge.

Spring promises warmer days, but it's also the season of unpredictability. Rain, wind, sun – each day brings a new forecast. The solution? Embracing the season's most practical spring fashion trends with versatile outerwear.

With sporty styles dominating this season, the waterproof parka emerges as spring's essential piece. Don’t just keep it for spring walks, try layering it over a sleek pencil skirt for a sophisticated take on rainy day dressing that works perfectly in the city.

Another jacket ticking all the trend boxes this spring is the bomber jacket. Go for faux leather – it's the ideal way to add attitude to feminine florals without sacrificing comfort. For another weather-ready option, consider a quilted jacket, the ultimate blend of practicality and style for those changeable spring days.

Looking for something more polished? The trench coat remains the ultimate smart choice. While traditional longline macs will always be classics, this season's shorter trench offers a modern twist looks as good with jeans as it does sleek separates.
