As flowers begin to bloom and Easter treats disappear, the arrival of spring signals a fresh opportunity to revamp wardrobes. With rising temperatures, heavy winter coats are set aside, making way for new fashion trends that blend comfort with style.
One enduring trend that continues to dominate is the western-wear revival. However, spring 2025 is also embracing additional aesthetics, including polished corporate attire and breezy vacation-inspired looks. Whether for work or leisure, the season offers versatile fashion choices. To gain insight into these trends and styling tips, Stitch Fix stylist Amy Depler provided expert guidance.
Vacation-Ready Looks Without the Travel
Although full-fledged vacation season has not yet arrived, fashion in spring 2025 is set to bring resort-inspired styles into everyday wear. According to Depler, this trend revolves around outfits that evoke vacation vibes—no travel required.
To achieve this look, layering is key. A linen shirt worn over a tank top, accompanied by a lightweight crochet cardigan, offers warmth while maintaining a relaxed aesthetic. A flowy maxi skirt aligns with the resurgence of the boho trend, which is making a strong comeback. To enhance the boho feel, Depler suggests incorporating structured denim, such as a Levi’s Women’s Original Trucker Jacket or a Wrangler Authentics Women’s Stretch Denim Jacket. This combination creates a balance between laid-back and polished styles.
Wisteria: The Must-Have Color of the Season
While Pantone has named Mocha Mousse as the color of the year, spring fashion is taking a lighter approach with wisteria. Depler describes this dreamy lilac hue as a whimsical yet sophisticated addition to any wardrobe.
For effortless integration, a wisteria-colored blouse paired with straight-leg jeans provides a fresh yet casual look. Another option is a flowy dress, such as Grace Karin’s Summer Floral Print Maxi Dress or Merokitty’s Square Neck Puff Sleeve Boho Midi Dress, worn under a chunky cardigan. Depler highlights the charm of this pastel shade, noting its ability to enhance any outfit with minimal effort.
Corporate Wear Returns—Even Beyond the Office
With the resurgence of in-person work, structured office attire is making a notable comeback. Depler points out that blazers and wide-leg trousers have surged in popularity, with demand for these staples increasing by 400% at Stitch Fix compared to the previous year.
A tailored blazer in a bold hue can instantly elevate an outfit, replacing heavier winter coats. While hot pink is fading from the spotlight, deep blue remains a prominent choice for the season. Stylists recommend pieces such as Lock and Love’s 3/4 Sleeve Blazer in Royal Brite or Genhoo’s Long Sleeve Blazer in Royal Blue.
To complete the ensemble, sleek trousers or bootcut jeans create a refined balance between classic and modern styles. Depler suggests finishing the look with work-appropriate heels in shades of pink, red, or burgundy for a touch of sophistication.
Western-Wear Revival Continues Strong
The influence of western fashion has remained consistent over the past few years, and spring 2025 is no exception. This season, the trend has evolved into what is being called “Ranch Revival.” The look is expected to be a major presence at festivals, including Coachella and Stagecoach, as well as on Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter Tour.
According to Depler, western-inspired fashion this season fuses rugged charm with feminine glam. Fringe jackets, denim with intricate stitching, and cowboy boots paired with flowy dresses are among the top choices. With 82% of Stitch Fix stylists predicting this combination to be a seasonal favorite, the western trend continues to dominate fashion landscapes.
The appeal of Ranch Revival lies in its versatility, allowing individuals to integrate elements into their existing wardrobe. Whether opting for full rhinestone cowgirl glam or subtle western accessories, the trend offers endless possibilities for effortless yet striking looks.
Gingham and Plaid Patterns Take Center Stage
Print lovers will have plenty to embrace this spring, as gingham and plaid emerge as standout patterns. Depler notes that these classic prints are not just for cooler months. Instead, they are being reimagined for spring, offering a blend of preppy and modern aesthetics.
To incorporate these patterns, a gingham maxi dress—such as Prettygarden’s Square Neck Ruffle Strap Plaid Smocked Midi Dress or Ostoo’s Boho Floral Print Tiered Maxi Dress—pairs well with a fringe denim jacket and cowboy boots, embracing the season’s western influence. For those who prefer a more casual approach, a plaid shirt styled with rugged Ranch Revival jeans is another fashionable alternative.
With a mix of returning favorites and fresh takes on classic styles, spring 2025 fashion encourages personal expression while keeping up with seasonal trends. Whether dressing for the office, a weekend getaway, or a music festival, this season’s wardrobe updates cater to every occasion.
