After what felt like the longest winter on record, spring is finally here. If you’re in the market for some fresh outfit inspiration, here are five of the chicest spring fashion looks we’ve spotted on Instagram this week, from polka dots to pastels.

Look 1

Short trenches are everywhere this season, and offer a casual throw-on alternative to their smarter big sister. The cinched waist and grown-up accessories keep what is essentially a jeans-and-white-tee look feeling elevated and polished.

Look 2

Capri pants are such a classic spring look – conjuring up images of the best-dressed women of all time, from Audrey Hepburn to Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy. Lean into that vintage, Parisian feel with a boat-neck top, ballet flats, and some chunky resin bangles for a modern point of interest.

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: leopard is a neutral. RIXO’s sweet short jacket is the perfect spring top-layer, whether styled with tailored trousers, denim, or a white maxi skirt.

Pastels always return for spring, and while it might not be groundbreaking, it does feel right. Ground those sugary shades with muted tones like mushroom, grey, and beige, then add some fun accessories – like this chic pillbox hat, chunky hoops or a great brooch.

Look 5

Polka dots remain one of SS26’s biggest trends (particularly tiny black dots on white), and this is the perfect look to transition you into spring. We love the sportier jacket that makes the print feel less twee, while a buttery-soft brown suede bag adds a grown-up touch of colour.
