If you can even believe it, 2025 (!!) is somehow just around the corner. And with the exciting new year comes exciting new fashion trends. Last September, designers gave us a glimpse of what to expect come 2025, and I’m 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 track pants 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 my humble fashion editor 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
So long, Barbie pink—it was fun while it lasted. Come 2025, fashion will still be pink-obsessed, but the new favorite hue will be a much calmer, more understated pink that’s been hitting the runways recently. Think ballet slippers and soft, swoonworthy blush tones.

Mix-and-Match Sporty Athleisure
Yes, you can be on trend wearing what you already own—this one is alllll about the styling. Athleisure has been trending for awhile, obviously, but I’m here to tell you that come 2025 it’ll be totally normal to incorporate your athletic wardrobe into your daily outfits. Wear a tracksuit with a miniskirt, style a workout tank with trousers, etc.

H-O-T (T-O-G-O) Pants
It’s the year of the mini—but not just mini...micro. Yes, we’re talking about hot pants! They’re the younger, cooler, itsy-bitsy version of your favorite summer shorts. Wear them with sheer tights underneath or go totally bare.

Romantic Fabrics and Textures
We’re here for allll the whimsical moments next year, from lace to ruffles and everything sheer. It’s hard not to assume this has something to do with the BookTok/Kindle Unlimited craze of it all because this trend is truly straight out of your favorite romantasy novel.

Stripes (on Stripes on Stripes)
It’s not just stripes that are in, it’s stripes on stripes on—you guessed it—more stripes. This maximalist trend is about the joy of wearing all the stripe combos you can think of... all at once. Pattern mixing is back, people!
