Editor’s Picks: Spring florals, art-inspired fashion and the latest from Dior x Kaws, Mugler and more

Fashion is an ever-changing game, and it’s no easy task to stay ahead every single time. But fret not; Tatler has got you covered with our monthly lookbook, which gives you a thematic selection of season-specific looks curated from tip to toe.

This month, we're looking at trends fresh from the runways of Fashion Week. While Paris Fashion Week continues to dazzle us—stay tuned for our reports on key trends—Milan closed earlier in the week, leaving us inspired with trends like scarlet red and 1960s nostalgia for the autumn/winter season this year.

And now, as spring approaches, it’s time for a switch-up. Swap your winter coat for light, breezy dresses. This spring is all about going back to the basics: florals that are simple yet timeless and denim that proves a wardrobe staple stays a staple regardless of trends or seasons. If individuality is your focus this year, artsy collabs will inspire: Dior meets the colourful world of Kaws, Mugler joins forces with Ambera Wellmann and Takashi Murakami makes an iconic return with Louis Vuitton.

Whether you’re after a spring wardrobe update or aiming to leave a lasting impression with the latest must-haves of the season, Tatler brings you the very best of fashion this month.
