With only a few months into 2025, many fashion trends are beginning to rise and are claiming the top fashion trends for the upcoming year. With many style trends becoming the definition of 2025’s fashion style, and many sticking with last year’s long white skirts, wide-legged jeans, cropped jackets, and UGG slippers, plus many older trends that are coming back from previous years.
With similar yet different styles from 2024’s fashion trends, minimalistic styles that give a “clean girl vibe,” like natural make-up, tailored trousers, cute sunglasses, and fitted-down shirts becoming a hit, as well as athletic wear such as leggings, and “slice of life” clothing that’s more comfortable and less revealing, like sweaters, well-worn jeans, and crewneck, these fashion trends are predicted to shape 2025’s top fashion trends. Different hairstyles are also becoming popular and are starting to gain popularity, such as curtain bangs, the butterfly cut, or a clean fade with textured tops. “I feel like there might be a new hair trend, like hairstyle-wise, because right now we’re having a lot of twin braids and buns, and I feel like maybe something else might happen too,” Amaya Chang said.
However, with these new predicted trends, some are coming back from previous years, most apparently the Y2K style, like crop tops, low-rise jeans, and chunky shoes. “I think skinny jeans are coming back unfortunately, I’m not a fan of it but I think it’s coming back. 90’s jeans like the whole Y2K are all going to come back even more. I think the early 2000s with more colors and everything are going to come back too,” Brooklyn Hekker said.
Even with the new trends and the older trends coming back this year, many fashion trends that defined 2024 are sticking to 2025’s fashion styles and accessories, like full skirts, slip dresses, silver jewelry, and very minimalist and neutral clothing. “I mean, going off of camo and stuff, I feel like that’s going to still be very apparent and popular, and like, very big hoop earrings too,” Chang said.
But even with the many new and old styles that are beginning to shape 2025’s fashion trends, this year is still at its beginning and anything can become a trend that might come back from previous years, last year, or it can be a brand-new trend that will define 2025’s fashion style.
