I expect something big to happen For me, Leah thinks that the understated luxury trend has gone a step further, with most items being made to order to prevent over-consumption and over-saturation, and what people really crave: bespoke. Feels like a maid. Leah is like the birth of a child between Acteryx and Hermes, and I can’t wait to see what happens next. — Lynette Nylander, Executive Digital Director
Trends without trends
“If the 2024 runways and red carpets have anything to say, it’s that 2025 will be the year of personal style, celebrating self-expression rather than set trends. Wrong. But hopefully, in 2025, we’ll look inward for inspiration and look to the personal quirks and tastes we observe around us. I hope this is the year you find joy. Ignore the caution and the algorithms and find the joy of fashion again. ”—Brooke Bobb, Fashion News Director

maximalism
“After years of quiet luxury, I think we’ll start to see the pendulum swing towards an era of maximalist dressing. Big, loud prints, colors and rich textures are back in wardrobes. On the runway, we’ve already seen Prada lean into sequins and Chloé embrace bohemian ruffles and flowers. And of course, the master of maximalism, Alessandro Michele, has already done so. With Valentino bringing it back with his debut, fashion is getting exciting again and we can’t wait to see how it develops. ” – Julie Tong, Senior Commerce Content Lead.

Camping in general
“This was already going on in 2024, but I think in 2025 people will lean more towards camping as a reaction to the political and cultural dissonance around us. do we feel like we can’t do anything Americans can’t even agree on the basic elements that make up reality, and camp is a reaction to that, dealing with the absurdities of modern life by making things even more complicated ( and perhaps to resist). It’s absurd. ”—Izzy Grinspan, Digital Director
Girl Scout-style patches on everything
“OK, listen. With fashion’s simultaneous obsession with sportswear and prep, we’ve started seeing varsity jackets everywhere. And do you know what these jackets usually feature? Patches. As my colleague Brooke pointed out, fashion these days leans toward individualism, from bag charms to unique hats. So it feels natural that personalizing clothes will become the next trend, with artists like Taylor Swift and Kacey Musgraves introducing personalized patches on themed album packaging. Mark my words: In 2025, everyone will be wearing so many of these accessories that they’ll look like a well-decorated Girl Scout. —Joel Calfee, Editor and Social Media Assistant

isabel marant
“There’s a designer whose name I keep seeing on TikTok: Isabel Marant. Girls are going crazy! I predicted her infamous sneaker wedges would make a comeback ( And it has actually made a comeback, especially in the Gen Z fashion world on social media) ) But as bohemian style is coming back into the mainstream, her aesthetic and overall brand also seem to be on the rise, which is no surprise. But I think her vintage is in great demand. We’re guessing. Items from previous runway shows. Hurry to The Real Real to get yours now before prices go up.”
