Every year brings new fashion trends that define the year. In 2020, during the height of the pandemic, it was all about cozy comfort and tie-dye looks. In 2021, Y2K fashion had a comeback, bringing back low-rise jeans and baby tees. Another popular trend of 2021 was cottage-core, which included flowy dresses and many florals. In 2022, colors like hot pink and girly clothes exploded to match the Barbie-core summer. 2023 was the year of “quiet luxury” with minimalistic, non-logo looks. In 2024, metallics became all the rage; from shoes to bags, every color turned metallic. So, what is in store for 2025? Let’s break down all the incoming trends and styles that have defined 2025 so far.
