I'm a Fashion Editor and Can't Get Over These 25 Cool Spring 2025 Finds

With spring ahead, I'm already thinking about the fashion items I'll be adding to my wardrobe in the coming months. It has been a particularly cold winter in NYC, so I'm ready to embrace warmer weather and shed some layers. My coats, leather gloves, and ankle boots have been in heavy rotation, but I'm getting ready to retire them for the season. This has me thinking about some of the biggest trends for spring 2025 I'm planning to test out as well as the excellent new-season arrivals trickling into stores.
I've been heavily inspired by the romantic pieces from the spring/summer 2025 collections, including lace-trimmed slip skirts and soft pastel shades like robin-egg blue. I've also been gravitating toward more elegant and polished pieces, such as snakeskin pumps and A-line skirts, that I plan to wear more of. Ahead, shop my top picks for spring 2025.
