These 5 major fashion trends are set to take over in 2025
If you can even believe it, 2025 (!!) is somehow just around the corner. And with the exciting new year comes exciting new fashion trends. At last September's fashion weeks, designers gave us a glimpse of what to expect come 2025, and we're here to let you know that there's SO much to get excited about. From the new 'It' shade of pink (hint: it’s not Barbie!) to whimsical textures like ruffles and lace and even funky new ways to style those joggers that you already own, 2025 fashion is just as much about wearability as it is about glamour.
So keep on scrolling to check out the five major fashion trends that you’ll be seeing everywhere next year, in our humble fashion editor's opinion. Oh, and if you’re in the mood to tack on some personal shopping while you're at it, I've pulled together some wearable goodies that would look oh-so-great hanging in your newly updated wardrobe.
Soft Ballet Pink
Social shopping app LTK may be reporting it's all about brown RN with ‘mocha’ posts up 128% in the last 90 days and ‘chocolate brown’ posts up 254% for the same period, but come 2025, fashion will be pink-obsessed. The new favourite hue will be a much calmer, more understated pink that's been hitting the runways recently. Think ballet slippers and soft, swoon-worthy blush tones. So long, Barbiecore, it was fun while it lasted.
