From the classic Stockholm style lovers to the slick-back beauties, 2024 truly was quite the year for fashion. As society exclaims au revoir to the passing year and welcomes 2025 with open arms and minds, the inevitable yearn for fancy begins to occupy the internet, sparking off the new year with fabulous new trends and intensifying true glamor around the globe.
Inspiration moves the world, widens the heart’s desire and influences society’s taste for jaw-dropping chic, allowing people to express themselves however they so choose. Countless platforms specialize in this artistry, branching out into lovely new ideas to further influence a fresh mindset for any occasion: Pinterest, the ultimate hotspot for insight and creativity, is already one step ahead of the new trends for the new year. So far, the fisherman aesthetic is predicted to be a real showstopper for 2025, incorporating a cute nautical style for those with a deep love for the sea. Additionally, trends including fashionable studs, maximalist outfits and the dolled-up look are on the fashion forecast, according to Pinterest.
“[People are] excited to see what trends happen day-to-day and to see if they are interesting. [Some are] also hoping to see more experimental stuff from celebrities and brands that go beyond what [is] considered normal, as seeing weird and abnormal things is what is liked about fashion the most,” Allan Berry, senior, said.
Though time has long since ticked away from the 20th century, styles from the era seem to be becoming more prominent in today’s clothing stores. Commonly known fads from the 1980s and 1990s such as jean jackets, cargo pants and crop tops have integrated nicely into society’s everyday style, leaving many wondering which decade will most strongly influence the next 12 months. Many expect that 1980s style couture will dominate the media, equipped with fun polka-dotted tops and miniature trinkets as bold accessories. Showcasing the passing time through intriguing outfits, the world can always rely on true fashion as a cultural history book.
“The 1980s brought us bold colors, statement silhouettes and power dressing, and these elements will undoubtedly return,” a writer for Sincerely Essie said.
However classic and timeless they may be, the minimalist trends seen in 2024 might soon fall victim to the big and the bold. Further emphasizing the quarter century, maximalist trends (though always in style) are anticipated to be the epitome of 2025 fashion. Dazzling the runway with eye-catching color blasts, layers upon layers and striking statement pieces, the vivid approach to fashion is meant to light the world with creativity, encouraging a wildfire that will spark originality in every soul across the globe.
“I love that maximalism is becoming a trend. It is so cool and fun to see people wearing so much and making it look good,” Timi Ojo, sophomore, said.
Imagination is lively and courageous, evoking spirit and creativity in everyone who dares to dapple in its waves. As the world transitions into the new year, the awe-inspiring trends set to make an appearance in 2025 begin their long-awaited debut, bringing a little flare to the cold winter months in preparation for a colorful spring.
