I'm a Fashion Editor Who Swears By Mango—These 5 Chic Looks Are Perfect for Spring

For me, a spring capsule wardrobe is all about three simple things: wearable, versatile staples that become base layers for all my outfits, comfort (I have no interest in wearing something too tight, too short, too see-through or made so poorly I’m left with a zipper sticking into my skin) and trending pieces that are still timeless. Of course, it’s a bonus if they’re affordable too.

This is why, season after season, year after year and occasion to occasion, I look to Mango. Of all the brands on the high street, Mango most frequently ticks off the items on my fashion-editor checklist. Its designer collaborations are an instant hit with social media’s coolest content creators and It girls. And it balances elevated, timeless capsule staples with fashion-forward pieces that look as if they’ve come fresh off the runway. Mango’s accessories and footwear are another reason to love it. Mango always has the cult shoe, trending handbag or sunglasses silhouette that I’m often searching for.

But recently, I’ve been drawn most to Mango’s Selection, a premium capsule collection that the brand introduced last year. Everything in this collection—the cuts, colour palette and fabrics—is on point. Then, of course, there is the price point. In a time of uncertainty, Mango is such a brilliant alternative to luxury designers. Customers can invest in pieces that feel contemporary, cool or classic without the hefty price tag.

For spring 2025, the Selection is another strong edit. The fairly neutral collection feels earthy and pared back but is brought to life with occasional pops of colour and unexpected materials. Powdery pink and rusty red appear on chiffon, satin and crinkled cotton mixes, providing luscious textures that beg to be touched. As always, the accessories make a big impact. Appliqué florals appear frequently on bags. There’s a pendant holding a set of keys and a leather corsage that can be worn as a necklace or belt. It feels a bit nostalgic for the early ’00s, but more grown-up than much of the Y2K trend.
