London Fashion Week, a global fashion event showcasing the latest designs from renowned designers, took place last month, showcasing an exciting mix of vivid colours, creative patterns, and attention-grabbing accessories. Each design showcased was geared to make you walk with a spring in your step next year when the mercury climbs and you shed your winter wear.

Here are the top five trends to keep an eye on for spring 2025:

• Sustainable fashion: As environmental consciousness grows, sustainable fashion continues to gain momentum. Look for designers using eco-friendly materials, ethical production practices, and innovative designs that minimise waste. More and more labels have turned to and are experimenting with plant-based fabrics, recycled materials, and upcycled pieces so that they help you leave a mark on the environment. That is a trend here to stay and makes for a great style statement come spring.

• Bold colours and patterns: Say goodbye to muted tones and embrace a vibrant colour palette. Designers showcased bold hues, bright patterns, and unexpected colour combinations. When planning your wardrobe, think of neon accents, floral prints, and geometric shapes. Abstract and surrealist-inspired prints, hand-drawn illustrations. Designers also drew inspiration from both modern art and classic motifs. A few pieces like that in your wardrobe are bound to give you a chic, edgy look.

• Oversized silhouettes: Comfort met style as oversized silhouettes took centre stage. If you don’t already own a few loose-fitting pants, oversized sweaters, and voluminous coats, Go out and get them now. This trend offers both practicality and a relaxed, effortless vibe that is great for spring/summer.

• Mixed textures: Designers combined different textures to create visually interesting and tactile pieces. When putting together your wardrobe for spring, think leather and lace, knit and silk, or velvet and denim. This trend adds depth and dimension to outfits, making them stand out from the crowd.

• Accessories make the outfits: No outfit is ever complete without the right shoes, jewellery, and bag.

• Nostalgia wave: Fashion from bygone decades is always an inspiration, and this year's fashion week was no exception. Think Boho chic with printed chiffon, large statement prints, and floaty shapes.
