Spring has sprung, and with that, there are new fashion trends. Because spring is the transition season between winter and summer, warmer-weather clothing is reintroduced into closets. Some typical fashion trends seen throughout the decades include florals, lightweight fabrics and softer colors such as pastels and lighter-toned shades.

Basic and classy spring clothing articles are always a go-to. Sandals, linen pants and flowy shirts are great examples of simpler basics that can be mixed and matched with anything. Due to the transition from winter, it can still be cold. Some popular layering ideas include windbreakers, trench or utility jackets and sweaters. These simpler clothing articles are great to elevate any outfit and keep warm.

On the other hand, spring is also a time when the weather starts to get a little warmer and the winter jackets start to migrate back into storage. Some of the warmer-weather clothing trends include lightweight dresses and skirts that are flowy and simple. More popular clothing articles for warmer weather include oversized tees and biked shorts, which are often paired together as an easy, simple outfit.

Popular patterns often seen on these clothing articles include florals, embroidery and solid colors. Patterns have been a large trend for the majority of 2025 and have continued to remain popular. Some of the patterns that have recently become popular include stripes. Monochromatic stripes are a great way to embrace springtime colors. Along with polka dots, which have recently grown more in popularity.

Other simpler and more subtle ways to embrace the spring spirit are by using accessories. Layered necklaces are a popular way to elevate a simple outfit. Mixing gold and silver jewelry has become a popular way to add dimension and character to an outfit. Some more popular accessories include small purses and trucker hats.

Fancy footwear is another way to add dimension to any outfit. Some shoes fit for warmer weather include sandals, flipflops and ballet flats. Ballet flats have resurfaced as a simple shoe to go with any outfit.

As spring arrives, fashion becomes brighter, lighter and more expressive. Whether students are looking to dress to impress, or dress casually, the season is a perfect time to refresh wardrobes.
