Since the summer of 2025, butter yellow has been a mainstay in the wardrobes of fashion's favorite it girls, from Kendall Jenner to Hailey Bieber. Now, Fox is joining in on the fun. At the SXSW premiere of her film, Perfect, on March 12, she gave the shade an avante garde upgrade, sporting co-ords straight off the New York Fashion Week runway.

Whether you're pulling out the stops with pockets, prints or preppy know-how, you can't go wrong with showing off the lightweight outerwear this spring. Along the way, I clocked a lot of really cool jackets, and damn did the wearers look good.

Thanks to Ryan Murphy's fictionalized retelling of her romance with John F. Kennedy Jr., fashion girls everywhere are leaning into the Carolyn Bessette aesthetic. (FX/Hulu correctly anticipated this effect, collaborating with Vestiaire Collective for an edit of over 800 CBK-inspired pre-loved pieces.)

Flashing your bum cleavage is the latest 'shock factor' trend on the red carpet but it's not for us mere mortals

In a year saturated with viral denim moments - like Sydney Sweeney for American Eagle, Addison Rae for Lucky Brand, and Beyoncé for Levi's - the global girl group's jeans ad rose to the top, gaining more than 400 million views across platforms in just three days. After it went live, streams on Kelis' 2003 bop "Milkshake" - which was the soundtrack to the commercial - more than doubled and thousands of people made TikToks featuring Robbie Blue's choreography.

But if you are someone who feels they should wear heels, rather than actually likes to, then good news that way of thinking is very much over. After decades of being indoctrinated into believing heels were somehow superior, representing everything from power to femininity and sex as immortalised in TV shows such as Sex and the City fashion has done an about-turn and realised that flats are just as alluring but with fewer blisters.

Influencers now sit at the center of fashion because they translate style into daily life with unusual speed and relatability. People find outfits through try-ons, GRWMs, and street photos that feel instantly wearable rather than waiting for seasonal campaigns. Due to the ease of access to price checks, size notes, and links, the journey from inspiration to purchase is shortened.

After a cyber-attack rained on its summer, Marks & Spencer is banking on fashion to brighten its autumn. A Prada-esque, crystal-embellished, charcoal V-neck cardigan (46), a faux leather trenchcoat with a price tag of 90 6,810 less than the Burberry version and a 36 short pleated skirt that offers a wearable take on Charli xcx's brat styling will hit shop floors shortly.

Academia just got a chic update. Plaids, tartans, and checks, aka the patterns of pleated skirts that swooshed through private school hallways, are trending. And this time, they're all grown up. On the Fall/Winter 2025 runways of Miu Miu, Louis Vuitton, and Comme des Garçons, the pattern was reimagined in new silhouettes, heavy drapings, and even colors. (Anna Sui, for example, injected her designs with tinges of neon.) Among celebs, the print has also been experiencing a renaissance, with Taylor Swift being its biggest advocate.

Classic Football Shirts is capitalizing on the growing popularity of retro soccer jerseys in the U.S., having successfully opened multiple stores across major cities.

The resurgence of early 2000s fashion is led by Generation Z, who have embraced the Y2K aesthetic, influencing trends through social media and thrift shopping.

Crochet clothing is one of summer's biggest trends, with crochet dresses, tops, and matching sets spotted at every vacation spot. The Prettygarden Crochet Maxi Dress is a great option, and it "looks high-end" for just $45. It comes with a removable, midi-length slip to keep you covered, although it can also be thrown sans slip over a bikini for a trendy beach look. I'm also loving the Saodimallsu Long-sleeve Cover-up and Imily Bela Matching Set from Amazon, which are just as elevated and highly rated.

Addison Rae's image wearing a bikini printed with 'Father, Son and Holy Spirit' exemplifies a new spiritual aesthetic that reflects the shifting cultural mood surrounding faith and style.

Capsule wardrobes consist of versatile pieces that can be easily mixed and matched to create instantly stylish outfits. I like to stick to neutral colors, timeless silhouettes, and comfy fabrics that I won't get tired of wearing.

Fall 2025's trends are marked by vibrant prints, with animal skins and polka dots playing a significant role as grandmacore styles gain popularity in fashion. Celebrities are embracing colorful prints, transitioning from muted tones to bold designs in clothing and accessories. The updated approach to suiting introduces femininity with softer silhouettes, blending classic elements with modern flair. Celebrities like Kylie Jenner and Cynthia Erivo are leading the charge in showcasing how to elegantly incorporate these diverse styles into everyday wear.

Emily Ratajkowski broke traditional summer nail polish norms by opting for jet black toenail polish, effortlessly styling it with multiple summer looks during her press tour.

Berlin Fashion Week SS26 celebrated creativity and innovation, showcasing exceptional talent from established designers and emerging voices, capturing the vibrant essence of the city's fashion scene.

Megan Thee Stallion showcased a classic Burberry bikini featuring a triangle-fit top and matching thong bottoms during her recent beach outing, embracing summer trends.

"Quiet luxury was instantly adopted by the players in this space as a way to speak to their success through what they wear. It's designed to go unnoticed, even if they're publicly powerful and influential figures."

"Why are women expected to wear barely-there suits - I'm talking full-on thongs at the children's water park - while men get mocked for wearing form-fitting ones?"

Kardashian has made it clear that she is on a mission to revive the 'groutfit' trend, showcasing her dedication to this monochromatic style.

Toms Valencia espadrilles have a slight platform and versatile upper, available in various colors, with orthopedic insoles that make them comparable to sneakers for all-day wear.

I opted for a collab pair designed with the outdoor brand, Buff, simply because I enjoyed the rather jazzy colour scheme.

I always believe in the serotonin-boosting power of trinkets and tchotchkes, but especially when they're functional. That's what I'm so enamored by the influx of personality-forward, food-themed phone cases in recent years.
