“I realised that both my fave spring looks are Helena Bordon, but who better than a Brazilian style icon to show us how to dopamine dress for brighter weather? Helena Bordon nailed joyful dressing in this head-turning fuchsia co-ord. From the silky sheen to the statement buttons, this look is all about maximalist polish with minimal effort.”
“What makes it spring-perfect? The lightweight fabric glides in the breeze while the vibrant hue mirrors the season’s blooming palette. I love how it balances structure (those tailored pockets!) with fluidity—it’s luxe and laid-back.”
“This look is a lesson in fearless layering and pattern mixing. A borrowed-from-the-boys striped shirt tucked into deconstructed trousers feels both tailored and artful. I adore this for spring because it’s relaxed yet intentional. The light fabrics breathe well, while the bold vertical stripes elongate and energize the silhouette with just a hint of irreverence.”
“Start with an oversized button-down (yes, even raiding the men’s section works!). Tuck it into wide-leg or printed trousers, and cinch with a detailed belt.”

“Spring is one of the only times of year where you can dress joyfully without abandon, and I plan on doing just that.”

“And while I can’t be trusted with an ensemble as pristinely white as this (I’m a spiller), in my head this is exactly how I want to look (brooch and all – my favourite springtime accessory) as I go about my frolicking, aka the best of all spring activities.”
“Yes, Tiffany’s pink trench is an absolute must for spring (I am furiously googling as I type) but it’s what’s happening south of the knees that has me grinning ear to ear. Pastel pink paired with neon pink tights and coordinating tights? Aka my favourite trend of autumn winter reinvented for the new season? Count me in reader.”

“The trick to joyful dressing lies in marrying unexpected colours and prints.”
“I am yet to invest in a selection of statement necklaces, but for SS25 it’s top on my to-do list. I love how jewellery can elevate any look, and styling a colourful knit with a set of mini shorts quite literally makes me weak at the knees.”
“”An oversized knit and mini skirt is my go-to for spring. Theres something so fun in layering pieces in various colourways and textures that makes my heart sing. Comfortable yet chic, you can never go wrong.”

“My keywords for springtime dressing: floaty, ethereal and whimsical.”

“As hard as I try, I will never be able to grasp the structured look. I always gravitate towards ethereal, deconstructed layers with a touch of whimsy – and lemon yellow is my favourite spring-ready hue this year.”

“Where Miu Miu go, I follow.”
For SS25 I am loving a mini-skirt and layered top look. Miu MIu is the blueprint for cool-girl dressing and i will most definitely be trying it out.”
“When the afternoon sun finally sets, having a warm layer to throw on is a must. This cape option is the perfect chic addition to any wardrobe, especially when paired with a set of boots in a matching hue and a set of sunglasses.”
