Spring Hero Buys

Inspired by weekends on the East Coast (think of Nantucket and Connecticut), seaside-inspired fashions offer dressing solutions that are both stylish and transitional wardrobe-approved. Key pieces include boat shoes, sailor stripes, funnel-necks, and wind-resistant outerwear.

Softness and fluidity came to life on the runways, with airy femininity found at Loewe and Erdem. Here, spring blooms are elevated with cascading ruffles, semi-sheer details, and handkerchief hemlines.

Although eccentric dressing is in for spring 2025, coveted pared-back brands continue to hold their own in the minimalist category. The ’90s sandal is back for the warmer season, with slender straps and thong silhouettes found at Khaite, Proenza Schouler, and Toteme.

Breezy elegance by way of lace tops, organza fabrics, and flowing georgette are here to add romance to your spring wardrobes. Test out the boho trend this season with Chloé’s ruffle-hem top, Alaia’s peplum pants, and a Dragon Diffusion woven basket tote.

How to make sure your warm-weather wardrobe is up to par: investing in transitional white dresses that work for any occasion, be it dinner, an art gallery stroll, or a latte date. Bottega Veneta’s is the standout of the season, while Toteme’s is the perfect contemporary find. Up the ante with a metallic mule.

Elevated athleisure anchored many looks on the runways, with ballet, track, basketball, and tennis references top of mind at Prada, Bottega, Gucci and Tory Burch. An MVP in the collections is the sporty knit—here, give it fashion-forward look by teaming a preppy polo with a truly statement skirt.

Fashion and sports have fully merged, and with it comes a host of styling epiphanies. Anoraks and track jackets in particular look chicer than ever. Lift a page from Miu Miu’s spring collection and style yours with everything from striped shorts to pleated skirts or languid trousers.

There’s no denying the fact that retro sneakers are hot right now. It started with the Adidas Samba, seen on practically every stylish foot on- and off-duty, from celebrity to model. The practical sneaker has since made its way to every major fashion house, including Miu Miu, Proenza Schouler, and Dries Van Noten. Embrace the Wrong Shoe Theory by pairing yours with a billowy dress.

Stemming from a combination of East Coast prep and nautical themes from Miu Miu to Sacai in 2024, brands said “aye, aye” once more with sailor-inspired buttons, flap collars, boat shoes, and seashells—no fishing vessel necessary.

This isn’t your dad’s Wall Street! Saint Laurent’s massive suits (we all recognize that Bella Hadid image) lead the charge on new business codes, though it isn’t hard to find softness here; slouchy trousers and laid-back bomber jackets are here to cushion the edges.

Denim was a runway favorite, and the options on the market are endless. There are the tried-and-true fits and washes, and those with vintage tones for a twist on the classics, like the patterned hems at Valentino. No silhouette is off-limits either—bootcut, low-slung, barrel-leg, and yes, even skinny.

Maximalism is going head-to-head with the pared-back aesthetics of now this spring—and it’s giving pattern-lovers a lot to experiment with. Take notes from the runways of Miu Miu, Valentino, and Gucci for ways to style vintage-inspired patterns and color.

Craft takes center stage in the form of high-end, hand-made knitwear. From Khaite to Diotima, champion the trend with woven tops, crocheted skirts, and leather fringe.
