Even though I'm a fashion editor (or perhaps because I'm a fashion editor), when it comes to trends, I'm picky. I'd even say I'm getting pickier by the year (my very full closet is partially to blame). And although my wardrobe is leaning more classic these days, I still can't resist buying a few trendy items at the start of every new season. To be honest, there are a lot of good ones for spring 2025, so I narrowed it down out of necessity (and to share with you, of course).
Below, I made a list of trends (as in trendy trends) that even people like me who favor a classic aesthetic will be tempted by. Sometimes, I get bored, and buying trendy things to wear from time to time is fun, so that's what's motivating me these days. So with that, keep scrolling to join me in some of-the-moment shopping that'll make your classic outfits more fun and seasonally appropriate.
Zebra Print
These are so many fun ways to wear this.
Love the dress, love the price.
Don't wait for it to sell out.
Your next beach or pool day just got a lot more fun.
Jellies
I actually already own these.
These are almost impossible to find in stock.
Another pair that's in my closet.
Jelly Mary Janes are a concept I can get behind.
Bloomer Shorts
I usually shy away from ultra-short shorts, but I own these in another color, and they're surprisingly easy to wear.
The gathered waistband is a pretty touch.
Such a sophisticated take on the trend.
These would look so chic paired with a blazer.
Statement Shell Jewelry
What I'll be packing for my next vacation.
You won't be able to take a step without getting compliments.
This is the pendant everyone in fashion is clamoring for.
I can't get enough of this brand.
Rope Sandals
The goal.
Designed to be worn with everything.
Well, these look elevated.
Love this color combo.
Boho Blouses
Too pretty to pass up.
The perfect spring top to wear with jeans.
If I were to spend $2K on a ruffled boho blouse, this would be a frontrunner.
I knew Zara would have some good ones.
Sporty Windbreakers
The first thing I plan on wearing this with is a miniskirt and kitten heels.
Prada perfection.
The sheer panels are a chic detail.
I'm obsessed with this color.
