Embroidery! Lace! Volume! The 34 Most Romantic Fashion Items at My Favorite Stores

For the past few seasons, elegance has captivated the fashion world and commanded the collections of designers across the board. While that air of elegance is still holding strong, I've noticed it's evolved into something softer for spring '25—romance. Romantic touches like lace details, embroidery, and voluminous skirts are dominating the spring collections, and I'm quite taken with it. After years of minimalism, delicate touches like ruffles and organza feel fresh.
As I've browsed the new-arrivals sections of my go-to retailers, I've been saving all the dreamy, romantic pieces to share here, and there are so many stunning options out there right now. This is—hands down—my favorite spring trend, and after you scroll through the rest of the story, I think you'll see why. Below, I'm highlighting the 34 most romantic items for spring, from lace-adorned midi dresses to cascading ruffles and gorgeous draping.
