Spring-Summer 2025 Fashion Trends To Wear Now: Romanticism

27 Mar 2025

Florals for spring? I know, groundbreaking. But this season, romanticism is making a proper comeback — not in the cliché, over-the-top way, but in a fresh, modern take that feels effortless rather than costume-like. If you want to add a hint of romance to your everyday looks, here are a few ideas on how to bring the trend into your wardrobe without looking like you have stepped out of a period drama.

Silk, chiffon, tulle, and organza instantly add an ethereal, weightless feel to any outfit, but don’t go all-in on transparency — they truly shine as part of a more complex ensemble. Instead, play with textures: balance sheer skirts or trousers with structured heavyweight fabrics like leather or wool for a well-balanced, layered look. Wear your sheers underneath or even over — for example, as statement outerwear. Impractical? Sure, but honestly, who needs actual coats in the Middle East? Alternatively, embrace the softness by layering sheer on sheer for a playful, overlapping effect.

Yes, florals

Florals might be a spring classic, but let us give them a refresh. Instead of the usual prints, opt for watercolour-style blooms, abstract patterns, and unexpected colour palettes. A floral dress is an easy go-to, but if it feels too sweet, toughen it up with structured pieces or chunky boots. Not ready to go full bloom? Start small — try a floral silk scarf (which can double as a top or a hobo bag), embroidered details, or a printed blouse layered under a blazer. It is the perfect way to add just the right amount of romance without going overboard.
