2025 Fashion Trends
Bag Charms
Bag charms are the perfect way to showcase your individuality through your style.
If you’re feeling crafty, this is also a trend you can easily DIY using your own string, beads, charms, and whatever other knick knacks you have on hand!
Hot Pants
The last time hot pants were trendy was in the 1970s, but this year, they’re back in a huge way.
We love the inspiration of juxtaposing these super short shorts with more modest articles of clothing, like oversized sweaters and blazers, to create a really unique overall look.
Buttery Suede
Suede is a classic fabric that’s always in style, especially during the fall and winter seasons.
However, this year, we’ve seen an especially big resurgence in suede jackets, coats, and purses in warm, buttery shades of camel, caramel, and chocolate brown.
Old School Preppy Casual Vibes
In 2025, we’re seeing a really interesting collision of preppy aesthetics and athleisure clothes to form a new hybrid style that’s sporty, but also classy.
We love pairing sportier items like baseball caps and varsity jackets with more dressy, preppy articles of clothing like button down shirts and cable knit sweaters to create a casual outfit that still has an old school, Ivy League effect.
Trench Coats
Trench coats are another classic article of outerwear that are having a huge resurgence in popularity this year.
To update your old trench coat for the 2025 trend cycle, try pairing it with more unexpected, less preppy or polished articles of clothing like athletic sneakers or neon hues.
Burgundy Accessories
The burgundy fashion trend that became super hot last year is still going strong.
This year, we’re into adding a pop of burgundy to your outfit with accessories like a buttery burgundy leather jacket or an edgy, unique pair of burgundy boots.
Cheetah Print
As far as we’re concerned, cheetah print is basically a neutral.
We love the way this outfit makes cheetah print seem cool and casual, simply by juxtaposing the print with a basic white graphic t-shirt and a cozy charcoal pullover sweater.
Pops of Blue
If you’re bored of your boring, monochromatic, neutral wardrobe, a super easy way to add a pop of color to your closet is with a fun and funky pop of blue.
This cornflower blue sweater adds a sense of warmth, coziness, and visual interest to an otherwise all-black outfit.
Playful Cute Aesthetics
If you prefer to wear more feminine outfits, but are growing bored with the frilly, frothy coquette aesthetic, try switching it up by adopting a more playful, quirky, cutesy aesthetic.
We like the way that this outfit pairs a sleek and classic wardrobe staple, a black slip skirt, with fun and funky details like the fuzzy collar of the cardigan, the idiosyncratic print of the t-shirt underneath, and the hot pink color of the Y2K-inspired platform slides.
Olive Green Tones
Olive green is one of the colors we’re most attracted to as we head into 2025 because it strikes the perfect balance between colorful and neutral.
Olive green can sometimes have a utilitarian or military connotation, but we love the way this outfit gives olive green a new vibe with the thick, graphic stripes and suede purse.
Milkmaid Dresses
Milkmaid dresses are another of our favorite clothing trends if you love wearing feminine outfits.
They’re super flowy, feminine, and do a great job of accentuating your curves, making them equally beautiful no matter whether you’re looking for straight size, plus size, or mid-size fashion inspiration.
However, to add a little visual interest and prevent your outfit from looking too cottagecore, try pairing your milkmaid dress with an unexpected shoe, like a brightly colored sneaker.
Gingham Fabrics
Formerly associated with picnic blankets and Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, gingham fabrics have made a huge comeback this past summer, and we expect the trend to keep going strong in 2025.
We love the unabashedly summery and colorful vibe of this outfit, which pairs red and white gingham pants with an equally colorful red knit vest and a butter yellow bag.
Clashing Prints
Clashing prints is a 2025 fashion trend that’s not for the faint of heart, but if you can pull it off, it makes a huge statement.
If you’re having a hard time finding prints that inspire you in stores or online shopping, thrift, consignment, vintage, and other secondhand shopping options are a great way to source clothes with bold, unexpected prints and patterns.
Eclectic Layering
Another one of our favorite ways to take your style to the next level is by playing with eclectic layers.
At face value, this outfit might seem a little chaotic, combining a trench coat with an oversized sweater, button down, shorts, and a pair of bright red tights.
However, there’s something magical about the way that the elements work together, creating an overall look that’s kooky, but not crazy.
Office-Inspired Dressing
The office siren and school uniform-inspired trend is another huge source of style inspiration for us going into 2025.
We’re loving the combination of super prim, conservative, traditional cardigans with matching skirts that probably are not actually appropriate for a real office job or classroom, but are super cute nonetheless.
Oversized Collars
We fully anticipate that exaggerated, quirky proportions will continue to be all the rage as we move into 2025.
One easy way to incorporate this 2025 fashion trend into your wardrobe is by seeking out button down shirts with oversized collars, which add an idiosyncratic, but still feminine vibe to any outfit.
Tweed Lady Jackets
A tweed lady jacket is the perfect way to carry the old money, quiet luxury, classy feminine aesthetic into the new year.
This style of jacket has been a wardrobe staple for many since the days of Jackie Kennedy, but you can make it feel more updated and modern by pairing it with a mini dress and tights!
Cozy Shearling Accents
Nothing screams “comfy and cozy” like some fuzzy shearling accents on a jacket, purse, or pair of boots.
To add contrast and texture to your outfit, feel free to pair shearling accents with fabrics like patent leather, buttery suede, and flowy chiffon.
Dresses Over Jeans
We think that this oft-maligned Y2K silhouette will come back in a big way in 2025.
To update the dress-over-jeans trend for 2025, try mixing up your silhouettes to create new and exciting shapes, like pairing a black babydoll minidress with a pair of black bell bottom jeans.
Barn Jackets
An oversized barn jacket is the perfect way to keep cozy and warm while still looking trendy and stylish.
Ballerina-Inspired Aesthetics
Ballet-inspired aesthetics will be super trendy in 2025 because they’re the epitome of a feminine outfit—pink and girly, but also sleek and a little sporty, just like ballerinas themselves!
Above all else, the state of style in 2025 is all about showcasing your creativity, individuality, and personality through your clothes, whether it’s through exaggerated silhouettes, pops of color, or unexpected juxtapositions of textures, colors, and patterns.
Take this as a sign to have some fun and maybe even take some risks with your wardrobe!
We’re super excited about these 2025 fashion trends, and we hope you are, too!
