I’m a fashion writer, and here are my top spring event outfits for SS25 

Spring arrives in a flourish—longer days, lighter layers, and a social calendar that fills up quicker than you can say ‘I’ll be there!’. But, with every RSVP comes the inevitable question: What on Earth do I wear? 

This season is a masterclass in effortless dressing, where soft satins and flowing silks meet sharp tailoring, soft pastels contrast with bold neutrals, and florals bloom from head-to-toe (groundbreaking, we know.) 

So, if like me, you’ve been staring at your open wardrobe and endlessly scrolling for inspo for the perfect spring showstopper… close that wardrobe scroll and no further. I’m here to extend a fashion lifeline for your upcoming occasions and what to wear… 

Be the winner in these race dresses 

Race dresses are all about statement silhouettes and refined drama. This season, midi dresses and corset bodices sculpt the waist with old-world elegance, whilst ruffles dance away in the spring breeze. 

For a modern edge, sharp tailoring balances soft femininity, creating a look that feels both polished and powerful. Just add a sculptural headpiece, flat sandals or block-heels, and you’re off to a winning start. 

Spring soirees call for gorgeous garden party dresses  

With ‘garden party dresses’ soaring +200% in Google searches this week, it’s clear that everyone’s craving those afternoons of sparkling spritzes at friends’ houses. Plan the perfect outfit with breezy silhouettes, grassy greens and watercolour florals. It’s giving effortless English country garden vibes. Cheers to that! 

Timeless graduation dresses for all 

Graduate or guest? Reach for a timeless graduation dress you’ll love in the photos forever. Black and navy are a classic choice, while polka-dot dresses are trending right now, thanks to Kate Middleton and Olivia Rodrigo (and it’s the only print that never dates). If you’re pinning robes to your outfit, try modest midis with round necklines. These styles are perfect for the ceremony and ready for every event after – because every dress deserves an encore. 

Hen do delights

For the summer bride, the hen do is the perfect excuse to embrace white dresses with a playful twist. Think chic mini wedding dresses, Insta-worthy feathered hemlines, and bridal accessories to sparkle in the spring glow. It’s the ultimate rehearsal, but a little less serious and a little more slay. 

Christening and communion guest favourites 

Another piece to the endless spring events puzzle—what to wear to christenings and communions? Daytime events + sunshine + beautiful backdrops = the perfect opportunity to embrace pretty pastels, delicate florals and lace trims. Look to scalloped edges and asymmetric hems for a contemporary touch.  

FAO: Mum—opt for a stunning white dress and match little the star of the show with our selection of communion dresses for kids.  

The wedding guest dresses I can’t stop thinking about 

Wedding guest dresses get a 2025 refresh with soft pastels, bold blooms and elegant fabrics. Draping, liquid-like florals make a modern showstopper, while flutter sleeves across buttercup yellow maxi dresses are decidedly feminine. 

Modern mother-of-the-bride outfits 

Looking for a mother-of-the-bride outfit that makes a statement? A fringe textured skirt and spring jacket co-ord is equal parts elegant and bang-on-trend. If you’re going for a more timeless approach, opt for delicate florals with ruffles, embroidery and chic midi silhouettes for a look that’s impossible to ignore.  

We love it, Fashion Editors love it, you love it: Sicily is back… 

…and she’s brought some friends along. 

I don’t think I’ll ever stop talking about this dress. Our MVP for 2024 and 2025 (and probably 2026, let’s be honest) is back and ready to take on the season. 

Whether you’re looking for an Audrey-approved moment with a polka dot dress or adding a little bite with our leopard print iteration, Sicily is a must-have piece for SS25 weddings, birthdays, Easter occasions, and everything in-between. I’ll let you in on a little secret: Sicily pairs best with ballet flats and open-toe sandals. Pass it on.  

From race-day finalists to wedding guest winners, spring dressing is all about making a statement and feeling your best—so RSVP ‘yes’ and dress your best. Discover our full SS25 occasionwear collection.
