Flashback to 2024 trends

The start of a new year doesn’t always mean a complete overhaul of trends, and that’s a definite advantage. It means you can keep rocking your favorite pieces without a full wardrobe reset. We’ve rounded up the key trends that secured their place in 2024, making them strong contenders to carry over into 2025.

Layer upon layer, and maybe… one more layer

The “multiple layers” trend confidently transitions from one season to the next, each time introducing a new twist. While we’ve already embraced the skirt-over-pants combo, 2025 takes it up a notch with asymmetrical designs and bold cuts that leave one leg completely exposed.

Bohemian Rhapsody

The return of boho chic was heralded by Chloé’s Fall/Winter 2024 collection, where Chemena Kamali made it clear: everyday opulence is no longer restricted.

The Spring/Summer 2025 collections further cemented this direction. Feel free to add feathers and fringe to flowing capes and ruffled dresses, drawing inspiration from shows by Isabel Marant, Valentino, and Alexander McQueen.

Sporty elegance

The era of chic sportswear continues to establish its dominance, providing a stylish foundation for layering. Key elements for the new season include polo shirts, short shorts, windbreakers, sporty tops, and retro-style track pants. Try pairing athletic pieces with classic shirts, elegant midi skirts, and heeled shoes, take a look at Miu Miu, N°21, Versace, and Casablanca styling ideas.

Playful romance

Designers are keeping bows, ruffles, and lace in the game for 2025, offering even more playful, boudoir-inspired looks and doll-like aesthetics. To keep these sweet elements from becoming overly saccharine, pair them with structured coats, sporty pants, and chunky boots or cowboy boots.

What about prints?

Designers seemed to have drawn inspiration from various fashion eras, with geometric patterns taking center stage. Retro-inspired checks and stripes in all directions are poised to dethrone florals, claiming the top spot as the leading print trend of 2025.

Fashion trends may set the tone, but designers often break the rules, and that’s precisely what makes 2025’s style so exciting. The coexistence of opposites and the emphasis on individuality are set to be the defining principles of the year ahead.
