With spring right around the corner (and sunnier days already here, depending on where you are), we can’t stop thinking about our new-season wardrobe. From vintage-inspired dresses to reimagined Y2K favourites, styles that spark a little romance are all over our radar. Ahead, the spring trends we’ve already fallen in love with – and how to wear them right now.
Nostalgic Slip Dresses
While slip dresses for spring might not exactly be groundbreaking, this season we’re seeing vintage-inspired styles in the spotlight. Take your cues from Nan’s closet (she knew what she was doing) with lace trims, longer hemlines and wider straps that channel ultra-femme energy. Team with ballet flats and boxy outerwear to create just the right amount of contrast.

Gathered Dresses
Gathered Dresses
The resurgence of this very specific silhouette proves that balletcore’s here to stay – and we’re not mad about it. Look for dresses that cinch in at the waistline and fall to a floaty hem, with soft dropped waists and gathered details for extra points. Our pick? A white dress with a subtle fit-and-flare shape will see you through every spring occasion (except maybe a wedding – unless it’s yours…).
Prairie Skirts
Blame the Lower East Side girlies for this one – tiered maxi skirts are making their comeback. You could go cottagecore with a breezy linen top, but we’re feeling noughtie(s). Team with a baby tee or tank top and a chunky belt (plus cowboy boots, wraparound Y2K sunglasses etc.) for a look that’s giving the best kind of 00s flashbacks.
Ballet Flats
Ballet Flats
Whether you’ve had a few months to mentally prepare, or you never stopped wearing them, ballet flats are the shoe to stock up on for spring. Daintier than your winter boots but still with more coverage than your strappy sandals (to-do list: spring pedi), ballet flats are the perfect transeasonal pair. The best part? They go with just about everything, from aforementioned vintage slip dresses to straight-leg denim.
Bare Shoulders
Is there anything better than balmy days and bare shoulders? No. No there’s not. An off-the-shoulder dress in a spring-ready hue like lemon yellow pastel pink is perfect for your next daytime soiree – team with kitten heels and a tiny bag to complete the look. Off-duty? A cold shoulder top is the quickest way to upgrade an otherwise casual fit.
Beauty
Beauty
Bring a little romance to your spring beauty lineup with dewy skin, latte makeup and a spritz of your new signature scent (we can’t go past a Viktor & Rolf or Valentino perfume this time of year). And SPF. Always SPF.
