One of the best parts of summer is the non-stop outdoor concert action that calls for decked-out denim and cool-girl-approved concert merch. From fests, like the upcoming Lollapalooza, to headlining tours, it’s a smorgasbord of live music acts that allow you to show off your inner rock, pop, R&B, or even country badass. Selena Gomez’s new ‘70s-inspired “Bad Liar” merch makes throwing the perfect retro ensemble a breeze, while Lady Gaga’s collab with Urban Outfitters will have even non-concert-goers clamoring to rep her wares.

This year’sspring and summer fashion trends are shaping up to be a stylish mix between beloved classics and newer forays into playful patterns and colors – think remixed boho pieces and trendy jeansalongside fresh springtime greens and summer-ready ginghams! I’m already so excited to get my warm-weather wardrobe going with some of these trends. No matter your personal style, you’re gonna love these spring and summer fashion trends, too.
These 5 upcoming fashion trends are set to define spring and summer 2025 in the most stylish way!
1. Lacy Boho
Free People
Free People Jae Knit Top
Boho feels like it’s been around forever, but we’re sure to see an uptick in all things lacy and frilly this year.
American Eagle
American Eagle Chiffon Bell Sleeve Ruffle Blouse
Where floral styles might have shined in years prior, more femme pieces will be huge in spring and summer 2025.
Anthropologie
By Anthropologie Lace Godet Maxi Slip Dress
Inspired by the resurgence of handcrafted aesthetics, lacy boho pieces like flowy maxi dresses, crochet tops, and ruffled blouses create an effortless, yet ethereal look that’s also ideal for warm weather days.
2. Athleisure As Everyday
Girlfriend Collective
Girlfriend Collective White Jane Boat Neck Tank
Athleisure isn’t going anywhere anytime soon, though practical pieces are starting to be worn more commonly as fashion staples.
Halfdays
Halfdays Sophia Leggings
Brands are beginning to craft garments like leggings, hoodies, and workout tops with luxe fabrics and tailored fits, making them that much more elevated.
Old Navy
Old Navy Extra High-Waisted StudioSmooth Skort
This trend reflects the demand for fashion to be both functional and stylish, which is important, no matter your personal style!
3. Skinny Jeans
Free People
Levi's 501 Skinny Jeans
That’s right – skinny jeans have made quite the quiet comeback to fashion for 2025! That isn’t to say looser, baggier denim fits aren’t just as trendy, but if you wear skinny jeans, your outfits will have a unique effect and place you ahead of the trend wave.
Abercrombie & Fitch
Abercrombie & Fitch High Rise Super Skinny Ankle Jeans
Of course, it all depends on how you style ‘em – I personally love the look of pairing them with either tall boots or mesh ballet flats.
Nordstrom
AG Mari Mid Rise Slim Straight Leg Jeans
The everlasting return of Y2K-inspired fashion and the need for streamlined, classic pieces are definitely fueling the skinny jean revival.
4. Pistachio Green
Abercrombie & Fitch
The A&F Madeline Textural Crew Sweater
Pastels are still springtime’s BFF, but shades of pistachio green are making their debut in a bigger way this year as a nice alternative to those expected pinks and yellows.
Anthropologie
Endless Rose Strapless Textured Column Midi Dress
This soft, muted green tone exudes a calming, natural vibe that’s just plain fun to wear!
Baggu
Baggu Medium Nylon Crescent Bag
If you don’t want to go all-out in green, you can also easily accessorize with sunglasses, purses, and jewelry.
5. Gingham
Reformation
Reformation Petra Linen Low Rise Pedal Pusher Pants
Gingham is truly timeless, but we're going to be seeing a whole lot more of it come summer 2025. More and more retailers and designers are getting playful with the pattern, putting out pieces with larger prints or even wacky colors – and I adore it!
Urban Outfitters
Kimchi Blue Renee Smocked Maxi Dress
Gingham pants, dresses, tops, and accessories will be hot this year, and no matter how you wear it, you'll be putting on a look that’s undeniably nostalgic and youthful.

Stark white kitchen cabinets have had their day as designers gravitate toward warmer, earthier tones. Embracing this welcome trend are cottage kitchens — the perfect antidote to the cold, ultra-modern spaces of our recent past. With vintage charm, natural textures, and a perfect blend of old and new, this style brings warmth and personality back into the heart of the home. Here’s how to embrace the cozy cottage aesthetic in your kitchen.
Check out 14 cozy cottage-inspired kitchen ideas below!
deVOL Kitchens
This elegant plate rack from deVOL Kitchens, paired with a charming kitchen skirt, enhances this cottage kitchen’s English storybook appeal. Embracing color in your cottage kitchen can be a bold yet breathtaking move too. Try Farrow & Ball Preference Red No.297, Benjamin Moore Classic Burgundy, or Clare Paint Vintage to get the look.
Airy Kitchens
Modern cottage kitchens are great at balancing light and dark, creating spaces that feel both cozy and fresh. In this example from Airy Kitchens, warm wood cabinets ground the space, while a classic checkerboard floor brightens it. William Morris-style wallpaper and a wood-framed window enhance the warm vibes of the row house kitchen.
Shoppe Amber Interiors
This cottage kitchen by Shoppe Amber Interiors had me at the scalloped banquette and red checkered floors. Stunning! Timeless cabinetry, cottage-style windows, and vintage-inspired sconces add to the overall cottage vibe. Here are more banquette ideas if you're into this cozy, inviting look.
Studio McGee
This Utahranch house designed by Studio McGee blends rich blue cabinetry, warm wood accents, and a sleek steel range hood for a perfect balance of modern and cottage charm. Adding to the character are exposed wood beams — a signature feature of modern cottage kitchens.
Market by Modern Nest
Vintage artwork is a must for bringing that coziness to the kitchen, while brass fixtures, handmade pottery, and rich wood cabinetry enhance the warm, lived-in feel of this kitchen from Market by Modern Nest.
deVOL Kitchen
I'm swooning over the rosewater-colored cabinets and Zellige antique tile in this deVOL Kitchen. It feels fresh and modern yet still very much cozy cottage.
Backsplash.com
Artisanal, handmade tile makes a statement in a cottage kitchen, adding to the earthy, rustic aesthetic.
Magnolia
Joanna Gaines created a cozy breakfast nookby pairing a light gray wood banquette with classic black-and-white checkered floors. The result? A quintessential cottage feel that's full of charm.
Zia Tile
Open shelving styled with your favorite vintage treasures, paired with moody hued cabinetry, make this white cement tile from Zia Tile look perfectly refreshing and refined.
Butcher block countertops, classic Shaker cabinetry (especially in this gorgeous olive-grey hue), and thoughtfully curated accessories — like wooden bowls and copper pots — are all essential elements of cozy, cottage style.
Pairing rustic brick or stone walls with elegant taupe cabinetry is a beautiful way to warm up your all-white kitchen, creating a space that feels both inviting and sophisticated. Try Farrow & Ball’s Joa White, a light and clean taupe, to get the look.
Warm brown hues are a popular color trend for 2025, making them the perfect choice to bring depth, coziness, and timeless charm to your cottage kitchen. This wooden table is an excellent accent in that vein!
Chris & Julia x Loloi
What I love about this space, featuring a Chris & Julia x Loloi rug, is that there's so much to love: the plate rack and vintage backsplash, the cafe-style floor tile, the striped loveseat with yellow chairs. I adore this cottage look.
deVOL Kitchen
deVOL Kitchen does it again with a charming kitchen that feels sophisticated at the same time. Glass cabinets, marble tile, brass fixtures and a scalloped edge pendant are all markings of a modern cottage kitchen.

Amid the devastation of the LA fires, neighbors opening their homes to one another (like Hilary Duff housing Mandy Moore), internet users have found a new way to support people who have lost everything by streaming their old songs. When Heidi Montag's 2010 album Superficial hit #1 on iTunes, generating income for the popstar and her family, Gossip Girl fans called for another celebrity to get the same treatment: Leighton Meester (AKA Blair Waldorf) after she lost her home with husband Adam Brody.
Yep, in case you didn't know, Leighton Meester wasn't just an actress during her Gossip Girl days, she was also a singer! In addition to her role in Country Strong (which gave us the MASTERPIECE "Words I Couldn't Say"), Gossip Girl featured some of her music, like when the season 3 finale featured “Your Love's a Drug.”
Here's how fans are resurfacing Leighton Meester's old music right now!
Leighton Meester's fans include none other than Flavor Flav.
Hip-hop artist Flavor Flav posted his support of Leighton Meester's "Somebody To Love" on TikTok on January 15. "Starting to hype up my girl Leighton Meester and help her family recover from the fire," he says in the onscreen text. And he's not the only one who loves her music, because fans started flooding his comments with their favorite songs.
"Good Girls Go Bad still goes triple platinum in my house annually," one user commented, while another added, "Stream Heartstrings by Leighton Meester too."
A third TikTok user ended up offering their own (phenomenal) idea when they said, "Can someone put together a LA fire playlist (philanthropy edition) so I can stream it all week?" Literally let's do it. I'm listening to the songs over and over anyway.
And the best part is that Rolling Stone reports that Heartstrings is now at 21 on iTunes!
Leighton Meester released some incredible music in the '00s and '10s.

Leighton Meester changed lives when she was a feature on Cobra Starship's "Good Girls Gone Bad" in July of 2009. This is quite literally one of the best pop songs of the decade — I never get tired of listening to it.
And she has some incredible features on her discography.

Leighton Meester follows up "Good Girls Gone Bad" with a song alongside Robin Thicke in a very steamy music video that Gossip Girl would definitely be writing about.

And in 2014, Leighton Meester released a full-length album called Heartstrings, which includes this title track. It's a little country, it's a little pop, and it's very addictive. It feels totally different than the Blair Waldorf vibe we'd come to associate Leighton with, and it's like a breath of fresh air.
Here's the full Heartstrings tracklist!
- Heartstrings
- Run Away
- Good for One Thing
- Sweet
- On My Side
- LA
- Dreaming
- Blue Afternoon
- Entitled
If you need me for the next few weeks, I'll be listening to all of Leighton Meester's music on repeat. Check out the latest news on Adam Brody & Leighton Meester's New TV Show Good Cop/Bad Cop.
