Swap long trousers for mini dresses, cosy textures for soft suede and autumn’s deep tones for pastels and sun-kissed hues. April is that sweet spot between spring’s crispness and summer’s ease—the perfect time to add a little sugar to your wardrobe

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.

Art Month has just wrapped up in Hong Kong, leaving us with some of the most creative looks from the art crowd—each a statement of individuality. April is all about easing into comfort and embracing the spring/summer wardrobe. If you’re heading off for an Easter escape in the sun, pastel hues are the way to go—think icy blue, zesty green, and blush pink, just like the dreamy Coperni runway at Disneyland Paris last September. And for those still reliving this year’s red carpet moments—or looking ahead to the Met Gala—Tom Ford and Saint Laurent have the showstopping pieces you deserve. Wherever your plans take you, style is always part of the picture.

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.

Fashion’s been in a tactile mood of late, with suede proving popular for outfits as well as accessories. No longer just a relic of the ’70s, it’s back with a polished twist—slouchy bags at Jacquemus, sharp midi skirts at Paco Rabanne and short dresses at Gucci. Earthy, textured and undeniably cool, it’s proof that some throwbacks deserve a front-row seat in the present.

April is that sweet spot between the freshness of spring and full-on summer holiday vibes, and the perfect time to add a little sugar to your wardrobe with sorbet shades. Icy blue tulle tops from Christopher Esber, zesty green trousers from Missoni and Coperni’s blush pink runway looks bring a playful, statement-making edge to the season.

With red carpet moments from the Golden Globes and Oscars still fresh in our minds—and the Met Gala on the horizon—our evening wardrobes are calling for a bit of star power. Sheer Versace shirts that shimmer just right, sequin-embellished trousers from Dolce & Gabbana, and striking accessories that demand attention—these are the pieces that will place you right at the centre of the spotlight.

Mules have long been a symbol of glamour, appearing on the feet of 1950s stars like Marilyn Monroe and Jayne Mansfield, and enjoying a Nineties revival thanks, in no small part, to Sarah Jessica Parker. In 2025, they’re back in full force: don Ferragamo’s take on the style to elevate both jeans and evening gowns, or pop on a Burberry pair to add panache to your morning coffee run.
