New Spring and Summer Highlights in UK Women’s Clothes Online

Some items featured in this guide were gifted to me

I’m all about planning and looking forward at the moment, so with this in mind I have been indulging in some sofa shopping, having a look at what new women’s clothes there are on online for Spring and Summer 2025. Now I don’t know about you, but I find it harder as I’ve got older to find as many brands as I used to, on the high street, but I still want to look and feel good and somewhat current.

So, when I do find brands and flattering clothes in the shops these days, I love sharing these with other busy mums looking for some outfit ideas to brighten up their wardrobes…

So here are the best items I’ve found so far online and in the shops for warmer days in 2025 from Oliver Bonas, Scamp and Dude, Zara, Anthropoligie, Helly Hanson, Cotton Traders, Zara, New Look, H&M and Matalan.

Scamp & Dude Summer Buys

Starting with Scamp and Dude, as in my opinion it has the best prints and flattering dress shapes around – with anything I treat myself to from there, being worn on repeat for years. They have such gorgeous designs that I feel can be as easily worn to the shops or a party. For Summer 2025 they have some new dress prints, more denim designs than I’ve seen before and fun matching holiday outfits…

New Look Picks for Spring 2025

Lots of pretty summer dresses online at New Look right now – love the green and white stripy tie front and camel linen midi for a more dressed up look on a sunny day. I think these and the floral would work equally well with trainers and denim jacket on the school run too.

Zara Spring and Summer Best Buys for 2025

As I’ve got older (and in all honestly bigger too) I find Zara a bit hit and miss. I love the clothes but the fit can either be great or terrible on me when I’m trying on and I will confess their oversized and cropped designs can leave me feeling very old! But all that being said, I’ve seen some gorgeous pieces in there, I’ve worn loads this spring, especially the brown co-ord I got – I’ve been wearing the jacket over jeans, skirts and dresses as well as together with the coordinating trousers, for a more casual take on a suit. I regret not getting this Brown Jumpsuit though- you can see it and all the other Zara bits I tried on in Zara on my Instagram reel

Last of all from Zara, I’m looking forward to going somewhere nice to wear this Zara Stripy black and white dress too.

Cotton Traders

If you are after some bright florals to brighten up your summer wardrobe here are my top picks from The Alex Jones collection at Cotton Traders. I’ve linked the items directly on the picture below and you can also see more of my top picks in my Cotton Traders full review article for their 2025 Summer collection.

River Island Spring Jackets

Seen so many colourful blazers at River Island recently. Also loving all the waist coats that are in the shops at the moment, giving an old outfit a bit of a spring update. I’m very tempted by the black patterned one

H&M Summer Dresses

Lots of lovely floaty florals in H&M this summer and you can how they look on in my Summer H&M reel too

Helly Hansen

When I think of Helly Henson, my first thought is coats, I never knew they do so many different types of clothing too. There are some lovely pieces in their lifestyle range that would be great for spring. There’s light summer dresses with bright prints, some even with a clever toggle inside the waist band, so you can choose how much to nip it in. Plus they have a fab workout range, (including lots of coral and teal, which are often my go to colours) and also as you’d expect lots of stylish coats and jackets for those rainy British summer days.

Matalan Holiday and Summer Picks

Can’t beat Matalan for some holiday bargain basics and kids clothes. When I saw this black maxi skirt thought it would be great for when the weather heats up and was so pleased when it arrived as its so stretchy and comfy as well as the seville oranges t-shirt to go with it.

New in at Oliver Bonas Women’s Wear Spring 2025

There’s so many new colourful pieces at Oliver Bonas that would be great for summer. I absolutely love the orange and white midi dress and cherry bag.

Last of all is Anthropologie – costs more but if you are looking for a blouse or shirt dress that nips in at the waist while skimming over your tummy, I love this range they’ve just got in
