As we bid our farewells to 2024, it is time to make room for the next phase of our lives, and consequently, for new clothes in our closets. With new fashion trends lurking around every corner, how can we be sure what stays and what goes? Based on 2024 fashion shows and potential rises in trends, here are my style predictions for 2025. 

  1. Country House Chic. As seen by Chloé and Burberry in their 2024 fashion shows, country house chic has sparked an interest in the fashion community and has spread to everyday wear. This cozy farm-house style combines with modern elements of lace and varying skirt height to start summer off with a warm, delicate feeling. With long flowing skirts and loose fitting dresses, this new fashion trend will definitely be seen as a statement. 
  2. Boho, as seen in Bottega Veneta and Chloé , seems to be taking 2025 by the reins. Styles include loose fitting clothing and multiple layers . With its hippie-esque nature and modern influence, this combination is easy to imitate and comfortable to rock. Subtle glitter eyeshadow is a major aspect here, as we begin to crease our eyes with accents of blues and greens.
  3. Twee is a style combining fresh new looks with vintage 60s and 70s inspired pieces and a lot of color. This style works only once you’ve broken and twisted the rules of “color theory” to an unrecognizable realm. This includes mismatched socks, random hair pins and loud jewelry that ring to the songs of “Come on Eileen” and “Everybody Wants to Rule the World.” This style can already be seen in the popularization of ladybug designs, which may overtake the bow craze.
  4. Street Style fuses aspects of the 90s, with jeans so baggy they fall on us as if we are  hangers and modern-futuristic elements like chrome and silver. The street style will continue to reign high in the eyes of fashion. With its funky makeup, patterns and creative hairstyles, this look never seems to disappoint.
  5. Everyone knows the recent hype with embracing the Pilates trend, but can that affect fashion? Yes. Clean Pilates girl is in. With slicked back hairstyles, tight-fitting workout gear and minimal jewelry, this look embodies class and discipline. You can easily recreate this look with Define Jackets from Lululemon, leggings and bright colors, such as light pink and white. The key is to focus on yourself and think of it as less of a fashion style and more of an identity, so grab this style by the reins and head to Pilates class!
  6. Skinny jeans are back! The 2015 skinny jean look with funky colored tops and tall boots has returned. This time, a more sophisticated ‘Princess Diana’s elegant, but rough around the edges, meets Ralph Lauren’s image of riches and chilly weather pulls this style back to the spotlight.  

Individuality! In the spirit of expressing one’s self, rock your inner Helena Bonham Carter and wear what you love! So long as an outfit is coherent and pleasing to the eye, it is your aura and personality that will shine through and make you into a fashion icon. Expression of individuality is the new fashion statement in the debates between high and low-waisted jeans, and the uprising of the whimsical-goth and twee. In 2025, be bold in your choices, and have fun trying new things. Happy shopping!
