The Best Spring Racing Headwear Trends in 2025
Spring Racing Carnival season is upon us! That only means one thing (at least for us): the fashion fun begins. There truly is no other season like spring when it comes to style. The colour palettes are bright, and the accessorising is next-level. The headwear? Divine! If you’re heading trackside for one of the big events but aren’t sure what to wear, we got you.
While we’re often the first to say that trends are passing and that you should ultimately follow your personal style, we do think they offer guidance in getting started. The key is to pick a trend that makes sense for your style.
If you’re wondering what the Spring Racing style trends are for 2025, here are just some of the best.
Fruity Fascination

From left to right: "JUDE" berry (add to cart here), "PALOMA" oranges (add to cart here), "MONICA" grape (add to cart here).
Florals for spring? Yeah, Miranda Priestly has had enough of that — and maybe you have too. So we’re moving to fruity territory. From colours to prints, sweet fruits are taking centre stage. They’re delectable selections, to say the least. Our faves? Oranges and berries!
Cocoa Cool

Mocha mousse is still a mood. This year’s colour is rich and gorgeous. And, yes, it’s great for spring too! Brown is strong and secure. That’s a good style message to send out, if you ask us! Our top pick? Cocoa with textures — straw, satin, velvet.

Pillbox Princess

This may just be the year of the pillbox. You’ve definitely seen them on your feed. Your favourites may have sported one at a special occasion. This is your sign. Take it back to the ‘60s with this Jackie-O-inspired style but give it your personal, modern spin. Top tip: Instead of minimalist pillbox hats, go for textured or embellished. They make the classic look more visually interesting.

Into the Wild

Safari influences continue to be strong. Animal prints and outdoor-inspired looks are still on mood boards — and on your favourite designers’ looks, from Ganni to Chloe. Cheetah, snakeskin and spots are just a few prints to add to your arsenal.
Flapper Girl

Another throwback trend that’s hard to resist. We’re taking it all the way back to the roaring ‘20s and the reign of the flapper girls. Feather headpieces? Yes, please. But make it vegan! Jewelled and bedazzled, we’re all for this era’s fashion opulence. Our top picks? Clips that exude the vibe of the decade.
Which of these will you be rocking?
