As 2025 begins, it bids farewell to quiet luxury, oversized silhouettes, and the minimalism that defined 2024, welcoming instead bold opulence, feminine cuts, and extravagant style.
Fashion runways in 2024 provided a glimpse of what to expect in 2025, with individuality reigning supreme among the top luxury fashion houses. With the return of personal style, wardrobes will reflect personal desires. While trends will come and go throughout the year, the core focus will be you.
In 2024, one of the biggest trends was replicating celebrity styles, mimicking someone else’s aesthetic as a form of self-expression. However, in doing so, fashion lost its original identity. The new year serves as a reminder of what fashion truly is: a means of self-expression and individuality. Here are the key trends expected to dominate in 2025.
Dreamy Colors
Soft, romantic hues like powder pink, pistachio green, and butter yellow define the season’s color palette. Powder pink has emerged as a leading shade, replacing burgundy as the dominant color of the season, adding a fresh and elegant touch to wardrobes.
Butter yellow, a pale shade bordering on cream, has become the new neutral—a chic, luminous alternative to classic beige and brown. Meanwhile, pistachio green offers a refreshing take on past pastel trends, quickly becoming a favorite in the fashion world.
Boho with a Bold Twist
Bohemian chic is getting a modern and daring update this season. While flowing skirts and intricate lace still evoke an early 2000s vibe, they are now being paired with edgy elements like oversized leather bags, chunky boots, and metallic details.
Peep-Toe Heels
Peep-toe heels are making a comeback. These shoes were spotted on the Spring/Summer 2025 runways, with brands like Prada and Tory Burch reinterpreting the trend. Tory Burch introduced designs featuring cutouts at the big toe, while Prada and Miu Miu revived Y2K nostalgia, reissuing styles inspired by Prada’s Fall/Winter 2008 archives.
Mocha Tones
Chocolate brown remains a timeless and sophisticated staple. Previously embraced by brands like Miu Miu and Stella McCartney, this shade is receiving a fresh update in 2025.
Enter "Mocha Mousse," Pantone’s Color of the Year for 2025— a lighter yet equally luxurious version of chocolate brown. This new hue exudes elegance and radiance, making it perfect for spring and summer wardrobes.
Hat Mania
Hats have become a statement piece, dominating both runways and street style. The revival of '90s fur hats and the return of small pillbox hats bring a refined, vintage-inspired touch to modern fashion.
Loud Luxury
The era of quiet luxury is over. Brands like Valentino, under Alessandro Michele, have fully embraced the extravagant aesthetic of loud luxury for Cruise 2025. This shift is not just about prominent logos but also daring prints and opulent textures, marking a dramatic departure from understated elegance.
Snatched, Cinched Waists
While oversized silhouettes remain popular, 2025 is shifting focus to the waistline. Achieve a cinched look with tailored coats, structured blazers, corsets, and statement belts.
Tech Jackets
Technical jackets have firmly entered the fashion scene, with luxury brands like Prada elevating their design. These jackets offer warmth and weather resistance, making them a must-have wardrobe staple.
Statement Jeans
Seventies-inspired denim is making a strong comeback, with wide-leg jeans leading the charge. Barrel-leg jeans continue to gain traction for their comfort and style, while skinny jeans are making a quiet return in 2025.
Fringe Frenzy
Fringe details add movement and excitement to any outfit, aligning perfectly with this year’s boho trend. Expect to see fringe embellishing skirts, jackets, handbags, and blouses, bringing a bold and playful edge to fashion.
From loud luxury to chocolate hues and beyond, these trends are set to define the new year’s fashion landscape.
