It's True—I Really Did Find All of Spring 2025's Top Trends for Under $200

If you're a proactive shopper, then this is the place for you. Although it might be difficult at first to look past the current winter chill, the most recent runways (spring 2025) have spoken, and it's time to start thinking about what to wear after the cold front when spring's top trends come out to play.

For the season ahead, everything's on the table, from new trending colors and exciting silhouettes to fresh aesthetics. Considering it's spring, pastels are a no-brainer, with next year's favorites proving to be powder pink and butter yellow. As for silhouettes, opt for oversize workwear, exaggerated clutches, and bubble hems. And, of course, the newest aesthetics include sporty "blokecore" and sheer siren.

Below, shop the choice pieces that will keep you ahead of the trends (and within a strict $200 budget).

Rugby Shirts

The latest "blokecore" trend to peak in fashion circles is striped rugby shirts that give a cool air of vintage British sportswear. While these tops have a boyish tinge, they were styled uncharacteristically on the runway over sequin skirts and slip dresses, making this the perfect dichotomy for transitional dressing.

Powder Pink

Soft, Glinda-esque pink is making a strong return as we approach spring 2025. The runways were full of the luminescent hue, including major brands such as Alaïa, Chanel, and Khaite. When you start spring shopping, expect to shed rich burgundy and earthy olive-green shades for this powdery pastel.

Bubble Hems

While these billowed hems have been bubbling up for fall, it's spring that'll see the bubble-hem trend experiencing its biggest moment yet. Playful balloon hems were all over London Fashion Week at JW Anderson and Simone Rocha, so plan to spot these cloudlike frocks and puffed bottoms everywhere come warmer weather.

Oversize Clutches

While gigantic totes continue their reign, the oversize daytime clutch was seen on the runways as the new statement bag. Coach's new Empire bag, which is available in a range of colors and adorned with playful stickers, was a standout, while Toteme showed luxe pouches in neutral hues.

Butter Yellow

The color palettes were noticeably softer this season, maybe just for the fact that they were geared toward warmer weather. Among the fashion crowd's favorite pastels was a muted yellow that appeared at shows such as Fendi and Sportmax. In turn, the shade will no doubt be a front-runner for the top color of spring 2025.

Power Suiting

Menswear always comes through on the runways; it's just a matter of how it will manifest each season. The spring 2025 version lent itself to strong, oversize power suiting. Exaggerated silhouettes like those at Saint Laurent and The Row will carry over into corporate wear for spring.

Sheer Delight

The art of subtlety is characterized by sheer pieces from the spring 2025 collections. Designers such as Tory Burch and Brandon Maxwell presented gauzy, transparent pieces paired with tonal underpinnings—perfect for warm-weather temperatures.

Sporty Outerwear

Sportswear continues to grow in the luxury world, so it's no surprise to see continued versions of activewear on the runways, specifically in outerwear. This season, the track jacket or pullover was seen on at least a dozen major runways. The twist? At shows like Prada, Brandon Maxwell, and Burberry, the athleisure was abnormally paired with eveningwear.
