I Thought This Colour Was "Old Fashioned" But Fashion People Are Proving It's Already Trending for Spring

I've always felt strongly that spring is the superior season. Bringing colour, optimism and sunshine back into our lives, the slow switch from winter to spring is a time I genuinely cherish.
Energised by nature's vivid colour palette, spring marks the time of year when I welcome colour back into my wardrobe again. Ready to embrace the change of seasons, I've been looking back at the spring/summer 2025 runways to reacquaint myself with the colours set to soar next month. After my research, I'm feeling particularly enthused by "dated" but dreamy lavender, which is primed to make a comeback this year.
Maybe it's the fact that I've always associated lavender with the pale purple purse my grandmother used to adore, but for me, the shade has always felt a little "old-fashioned". This season, however, I've spotted some undeniably cool silhouettes and modern styling techniques that have me seeing it in a whole new light.

I'm warming to the optimistic colour, and the runways have played a huge part. Making a case for the colour's versatility, Versace paired it with zingy green tones to play into the shade's exuberant spirit. Taking a more serious approach, Bottega Veneta styled the pretty hue with slate greys and cool blues to smarten it up, whilst Issey Miyake stuck to a neutral colour palette, pairing the pastel shade with a black base but playing up its spring-like connotations with thoughtful placements of green bouquets throughout the collection.

Embodying the quiet optimism of early spring, you might find it hard to visualise wearing lavender outside of a spring setting. However, I've picked up a few simple styling tricks that make this dreamy shade feel far more versatile. To get some wear out of it during winter, pair a lavender layer with a grounding tone such as a rich burgundy or a deep chocolate brown. Then, as we move through spring and into summer, swap the darker layers for a soft butter yellow or a pretty pale blue for a thoroughly modern take on pastel styling.
I'm sure it's no coincidence that I've also seen the colour trend pick up within celebrity circles this season. Selecting a pale lavender gown by Saint Laurent, actor Zoë Kravitz styled the elegant hue with simple earrings for the 2024 Gotham Awards late last year. Bringing the trend into 2025, Jennifer Lopez wore a lavender halterneck minidress to the Variety Creative Impact Awards a few weeks ago.
High-street and designer labels alike have quickly come to embrace the modern pastel. From COS's lavender ballet flats to Acne Studio's satin wrap dress, lavender is primed to dominate over the next few months.
Read on for my pick of pretty lavender pieces to buy now.
