6 Fun Trends to Try This Season

Spring is fully in session! The sun is shining, the flowers are blooming, and the trends are in. And, even better, they’ve never been easier to jump into! “This season, MIDImalism is setting the tone—where statement pieces meet everyday ease, and personal style feels more natural than ever,” says Dayna Isom Johnson, Etsy Trend Expert. “Spring/Summer 2025 is all about embracing creativity in a way that’s both intentional and unapologetically you.” So, whether you choose to make a big statement with a home makeover or give a subtle nod with a cute accessory, this season is all about having fun and playing with new ways to elevate your everyday life. Let’s jump right in to see what’s in store this season!

1. Literary girl

If you’re a book lover, this is definitely your season to shine. And, if you’re not one (yet), it might be time to jump on this bandwagon! “As physical books make a major comeback this year, so do the places that celebrate them,” Dayna notes. “Think vibey book bars, cool-girl book clubs, and sun-drenched afternoons spent lost in a great beach read.” To fully embrace the literary girl trend, you’ll need a book-themed tote and tracker-turned-bookmark to bring along, of course. And, for at-home readers, there are bookish candles, cozy side tables, and a custom embosser to set the scene.

2. Messy coquette

“Coquette, but make it cool-girl—this season, the aesthetic is flirtier, campier, and way more fun,” explains Dayna. “A playful evolution of hyper-feminine style, the messy coquette trend blends ’90s and Y2K pop-star energy with effortlessly undone charm, inviting you to be the most extra version of yourself.” It’s a ruffle-and-bow party here, and you’re invited! Get yourself ready for it with a whimsical hair accessory and pink tulle gloves, and dress your home up with ruffled cushion covers and macrame coasters.

3. Island luxe

Would it even be summer without a tropical trend on this list? “Fueled by the latest cultural moments, like binge-worthy resort dramas and island-inspired chart-toppers, island luxe is bringing vacation energy to the forefront this season,” Dayna says. Bonus: It doesn’t even matter if you don’t have a trip planned! Bring this dream aesthetic into your everyday life with colorful jewelry finds, like flower earrings, a rainbow beaded necklace, or a shell bracelet.

4. Galactic metallic

“Galactic metallic is a futuristic evolution of last season’s chrome craze, bringing with it liquid silver that shimmers like a meteor shower, holographic textures straight out of a sci-fi dream, and reflective fabrics that make you look like you just stepped off a spaceship,” says Dayna. Plus, deep blue pieces and zodiac finds are layered into this the trend, making it the perfect moment for you to bring out the celestial jewelry and moon art prints and commune with the skies above.

A little bit of romance and a lot of old-world aesthetic, makes châteaucore a favorite this season. After all, if you can’t move to a cottage in the South of France, why not bring it to you? “Create that French countryside charm at home with embroidered linens, vintage floral ceramics, and a touch of gold—and don’t forget your fresh baguette in a chic bread bag,” suggests Dayna. From speckled bowls and printed tablecloths to flared dresses and antique art, this trend is just waiting for you to bring it home and immerse yourself in it.

6. Maritime living

“Maritime living is all about embracing the raw, untamed spirit of the sea,” Dayna explains. “Inspired by the real-deal fishermen and seafarers, this trend brings a rugged edge to classic coastal style.” This trend is all about finding that sweet spot between rugged coastal charm and looking effortlessly cool. The way to achieve this, you may ask? With sardine motif blankets, crochet market bags, wave-themed decor, and vintage-style ship prints, of course.
