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.
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.

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.
