After a difficult winter, we were waiting for this spring with special impatience and are determined to get the most out of it – with the same mood, Ukrainian designers approached the creation of new collections, filling new releases with lightness, tenderness and special optimism. We have selected the 10 most fashionable things this spring.
Bomber cape
Spring is a great time for stylistic experiments. Katya Silchenko took a fresh look at the usual off-season clothes, combining the convenience of bomber jackets with the elegance of capes. The result is a spectacular alternative to the usual trench coats and jackets that you probably already have in your wardrobe.

Micro shorts
If for some girls the arrival of spring means adding delicate colors to their wardrobe, then others are ready to welcome the first warmth in a mini length. It is for them that designer Lasha Mdinaradze has created the perfect leather micro shorts. If you want to tone down their audacity a little, add a voluminous sweater, a plain T-shirt or men's-style flats to them.

Sunny accent
Sunny yellow is once again dominating the collections of Ukrainian designers. After the dark winter days, such a desire looks absolutely organic. We like how the COOSH team worked with it, combining it with the texture of the leather and the classic cut. “At the heart of the brand's approach is working with construction. Here, the silhouette does not simply repeat the lines of the body, but forms its own structure, setting the character of the thing. For the first time in a long time, COOSH is complementing the collection with an expanded color palette, namely lime, blue and honey shades,” says the founder of the brand Alina Frendiy. “The collection was shot in Paris and became a new stage for COOSH: the visual language and approach to the presentation of the collection reach a new level.”

Embroidered shirt
Ukrainian brand GUNIA Project welcomes this spring with its first full-fledged clothing collection. Its decorative component comes from embroidered towels from the Ivan Gonchar Museum. The patterns and designs also trace motifs of brocade embroidery and elements of a vertical carpet with floral ornaments from the first half of the 19th century. The key technique is cross-stitch embroidery, which adds a special charm to minimalist shirts that you want to wear with your favorite jeans or snow-white palazzos.

Set with skirt
In difficult times, classic beauty often comes to the fore, and images from the past set the mood for today's fashion trends. It is this vintage flair that permeates the new Anna October collection. Our favorite is a set with a pencil skirt, which can easily be presented on 1950s movie divas. Its peculiarity is that designer Anna October boldly combines a retro silhouette with a polka dot print, but not in a classic romantic interpretation, but in a more graphic and chaotic one.

Pink deuce
The cover of the spring issue of Ukrainian Vogue, where boxer Oleksandr Usyk poses in a pink jacket, is another vivid confirmation that pink is the main color of the season. If it seems too delicate to you, combine it with formal and serious things, for example, a trouser suit from Friends Of Fashion. An example for inspiration is Nancy Pelosi, a member of the US House of Representatives, who flew to Taiwan in 2022 in a pink two-piece.

Short trench coat
Short trench coats, which fashion brands offered last fall, continue to be one of the most popular options for off-season clothing. They make the look lighter and more relaxed, and they are also comfortable to wear during the day behind the wheel. The Blast Out team presented their version of short trench coats in the new drop – styling paired with cargo pants makes them the perfect solution not only for business days, but also for active weekends. More about this trend can be found at the link.

Ballerina dress
Ballet aesthetics are another notable trend this spring. However, Ukrainian brand AMG has taken a fresh look at it, adding edginess and character. Paired with black, the short balloon skirt has a more sculptural shape, while the tight top delicately emphasizes the curves of the figure.

Silk palazzos
With the arrival of spring, you want to add lightness to your looks not only with the help of color, but also with materials. The solution is to add silk items. Silk palazzos are especially effective in motion, to which you can add a translucent top, a textured jacket, and a rebellious leather jacket.
CICI COCO
Raffia dress
Coco Chanel liked to repeat: “The worse a woman's affairs are, the better she should dress.” It seems that Ukrainian designer Elvira Hasanova adheres to this concept. In her new spring collection, she presented a luxurious dress made of raffia in a deep blue shade, which instantly lifts your mood. In such an image, you want to dance, enjoy life and not read the news at all.
