There's nothing like a new season to make you crave a wardrobe refresh. Maybe it's because I'm in the process of switching out my closet for spring, but I'm itching to add a few new trendy pieces to my rotation. Between the romantic details adorning dresses and skirts, the boho resurgence, and the muted pastels taking over my Instagram feed, the spring '25 trends are looking too good to skip.
With the new collections finally hitting retailers, I'm feeling particularly inspired, but I'm also trying to be mindful of my budget before letting temptation take over. I decided to scout the best affordable takes on the season's biggest trends before making any purchases, and the current offering did not disappoint. I found 36 shockingly good iterations of all the major trends at budget-friendly price points, and I'm here to share my edit with you. Below, I'm highlighting the best spring fashion items under $300, from butter-yellow bags to linen dresses and delicate embroidery.
