Fashion forecasts are fun… but what really matters is what shows up in stores—and more importantly, what real women are actually wearing.
In this week’s episode of Midlife Moxie, Jen and Gail dish on the style trends we’re really seeing out there for Spring and Summer 2025. Spoiler alert: it's not just florals and pastels this season. 🍑

🌈 COLOR TRENDS TO WATCH
You’ll be surprised by how bold this season is getting. These standout colors are everywhere:
-
Orange – From coral to neon apricot, there’s a version for everyone (even cool undertones!)
-
Butter Yellow – Creamy, dreamy, and seen on both runways and mall racks
-
Rust & Chocolate Brown – Fall colors are showing up in summer silhouettes—and we’re loving the luxe vibe

👗 STYLE TRENDS WE’RE LOVING
This isn’t a drill: the vest is back—and so are Bermuda shorts. But don’t worry, Gail’s got tips on how to style these pieces so they flatter midlife bodies and feel chic.
We’re also seeing:
-
Romantic textures like eyelet lace, gingham, and ruffles
-
Linen everything (but make it soft and wearable)
-
Statement shoes like fisherman sandals, floral pumps, and bright low-profile sneakers
-
Interchangeable handbag straps (yes, it’s a thing—and we’re obsessed)
💡 SHOPPING WITH STRATEGY
Buying cute pieces is great, but how do you build a wardrobe that actually works together? Gail shares her client strategy for shopping with purpose—starting with a smart color trio, foundational neutrals, and layering in statement pieces that add flair without creating a closet full of chaos.
