What’s On The Fashion Team’s Spring Moodboards

This season, I’m embracing the kind of refined minimalism seen at Khaite’s SS25 show – structured yet cool, with an understated elegance that still feels modern. Jil Sander’s signature aesthetic is also on my mind – clean lines, fluid silhouettes and a focus on precision over excess. As for colour, buttermilk is the ultimate neutral for spring. Warmer than stark white yet just as versatile, it adds that quiet luxury feel to tailoring and everyday separates. I think it's a colour that will define my wardrobe this season, striking the perfect balance between ease and sophistication.

Spring for me isn't about pastels and florals but instead, weaving softer elements into my winter wardrobe. Lets face it, it's hardly that much warmer yet but something about longer, brighter days makes me want to lean into butter yellows and camels and mix it with chocolate browns. A colour combo on my radar right now is baby blue and brown. For me, that is the epitome of transitional dressing. In terms of outfits, this is my favourite time of year for suits. While I do make them work in winter, I find light layers like shirts and tanks are so much cooler.

Spring/summer will forever be my favourite season – every year I look for new ways to inject colour into my wardrobe. The clear winner for 2025 is butter yellow. It's soft, feels effortless and it's an instant mood booster. A close second is lime green – Gucci green specifically. Any time I want to make a style statement, this will be the colour I turn too. I'll also be wearing lots more silver jewellery this season as I work with these different shades. 

I’m all about chocolate and toffee tones this spring. I’ve been a fan of the boat shoe trend for some time and now, I’m ready to commit. They’re a smart trainer alternative and work with everything from denim to tailored trousers. This textured mini from The Frankie Shop is also high up on my wish list. Great with a studded belt and an oversized blazer, it’ll transition well from day to night. Speaking of oversized blazers, they remain a staple in my wardrobe season after season. Right now, I’m taking inspiration from TOTEME’s last runway show and teaming them with flowing linen trousers.

This spring, I’m leaning into a palette of fresh creams and soft suede. Buttery suede miniskirts and bomber jackets are top of my wish list. Leopard print, of course, remains a year-round neutral in my wardrobe. It works just as well with spring’s fresh tones as it does layered into autumn looks. It’s the perfect way to add depth and texture without overpowering an outfit. Adding volume and creating interesting silhouettes is a must – either with barrel-leg trousers or a shaggy coat. Finally, I'm in my gold and silver jewellery era – it's all about mixing metals.
