Spring 2025 fashion trends have arrived! After wrapping up the fashion weeks in New York, London, Milan and Paris last September, it’s time to take a closer look at the top trends for women over 50. Many of the favorites from previous seasons are still going strong—think asymmetrical hemlines, sheer fabrics, oversized shapes, fringe and florals. But this season, we’re seeing these trends evolve into more refined, wearable options that are perfect for our style.

As we look ahead to Spring 2025, I’ve rounded up some of the most exciting trends to keep on your radar. It may seem early, but time has a way of flying, especially as we get older. Whether you’re planning a warm-weather getaway or just looking to refresh your wardrobe, these trends are worth considering for your next shopping trip.

For women over 50, my top picks include crisp all-white looks, oversized trench coats, spring plaids, skirts layered over pants, soft pastel pinks, sporty jackets, voluminous trousers, fluffy and fringy textures and artfully crafted statement jewelry. Take a look and see which trends speak to your style!
1. All White
It may seem cliche to simply wear all white instead of black in the warmer months of spring and summer. However the looks for Spring 2025 were absolutely stunning and many were appropriate for women over 50. From the casual cool top and drawstring pants at Tods, to an elegant sculptural look at Akris to a pretty fluttery lace blouse worn with the perfect pair of high waisted jeans, all white looks will have you covered for all occasions.

2. The Big Trench
We can have big fun this spring… in a big trench! The season’s strong shouldered suits and oversized silhouettes require an easy-to-wear trench to throw on over it all. There was a plethora of options shown on the runway. Take your pick from a creamy floor-grazing number at Gucci, an oversized version of your classic trench at Stella McCartney, or a flowy black modern one at Akris to suit your style.

3. Spring for Plaid
Yes there was your proverbial florals and stripes for spring, but a standout yet classic print that looks fresh for Spring 2025 is plaid. It was featured flip flopped and shadowed in overlays at Tods for a modern mix of plaid. The Row showed classic tartans on dresses, tops and this classic mid-knee overcoat, and Giorgio Armani used an oversized muted plaid on an oversized pair of pants.

4. Skirts Over Pants
I personally adore this concept and finally designers are giving us options that women over 50 will want to wear. Skirts over pants can suit our every mood from a menswear inspired asymmetrical skirt over a one leg pant (so cool) at Bottega Veneta, a sporty tech-fabric look at Johanna Parv to a perfectly suited for black tie version in satin with a lace top at Huishan Zhang.

5. Pretty In Pastel Pink
They say that pink is a good color for “mature women” but this pretty candy-color pastel pink will be favored by women of all ages. The color was shown in a casual knit polo style maxi at Chanel, a gorgeous modern drape-necked satin number at Brandon Maxwell and a crisp day dress with applique textural detail at Jil Sander.

6. Sporty Jackets Over Anything
Sporty looks have been trending for the last few years and I believe they are here to stay. An easy way to style the trend is with a sporty jacket worn over almost anything! Miu Miu showed a color blocked hoodie layered over a wrap tank and crisp white skirt with leg-warmer sock and heels for a total mix-up that works. At Zimmerman, an oversized anorak jacket was worn over a textured crochet skirt for a tonal look, and Akris topped a leather skirt with a baseball-inspired jacket.

7. Pants With Volume
Get comfy in wide leg, voluminous pants for Spring 2025. Pants are one of my favorite options for women over 50 and the styles shown n the runway are totally flattering. From an all white suit ensemble at Michael Kors Collection, to silky trousers contrasted with a fluttery top at Stella McCartney to a flat-front buttoned-waist version at Proenza Schouler, pants with volume reigned supreme.

8. Fluffy and Fringy Textures
When it comes to texture, light and airy, fluffy and fringy ruled the runways. These modified textures are easy to manage and won’t have you looking like a hairy beast of seasons’ past. From short fringe flattering knits at Khaite to ethereal open weave crochet at Simkhai to fuzzy eyelash knits in pastels at 3.1 Phillip Lim, women over 50 can embrace texture for Spring 2025.

9. Artfully Crafted Statement Jewelry
Accessories in general were quite opulent for Spring 2025 but a standout was the statement jewelry. The artfully crafted jewelry with nature-inspired shapes are like wearing mini-masterpieces. Choose from amazing mixed media statement necklaces at Dries Van Noten to hammered metal oversized door-knocker earrings and huge beaded necklaces at Saint Laurent to clear glass water-inspired earrings at Etro.
