What Are We Seeing in Fashion For 2025?

Happy 2025! Winter might still be in full swing, but the 2025 spring trends are already blooming. This year’s runways were a feast for the eyes, with designers pushing boundaries, reviving nostalgic favorites, and giving us plenty of inspiration to revamp our wardrobes. From whimsical tutu skirts to classic Breton stripes to boudoir-inspired dressing, 2025 is all about mixing unexpected touches with timeless elegance.

So let’s explore the styles making waves this year and how you can sustainably enjoy these trends with consignment finds.

1. Asymmetrical Skirts

Slanted hemlines are stealing the spotlight in 2025. The flowy, dramatic silhouette of asymmetrical midi and maxi skirts feels effortlessly chic, giving movement and drama with every step. Plus, these skirts are incredibly versatile – pair them with a fitted sweater for winter, a lightweight tank for spring, or a tailored blazer for your work rotation.

2. One-Legged Trousers

In keeping with the asymmetric hemlines, we’re also seeing one-legged trousers make their debut. Though these are unlikely to become wardrobe staples, this trend is a fun, bold way to break out of your comfort zone. If you’re not into the full one-legged look, keep an eye out for trousers with color-blocked legs to achieve a similar daring vibe.

3. High-Volume Miniskirts

Miniskirts always make their way back into rotation, but in 2025, they’re even more whimsical and fun… as voluminous tulle tutus! For winter, pair a quirky tulle mini with tights, boots, and a chunky sweater for a vibe that balances edgy and feminine. For spring, phase out the tights, add a crop top, and let the skirt make a statement.  

4. Bold Florals

Florals are blossoming in popularity this year, from small, pastel prints to bold, dramatic ones. Florals are forever timeless, so you can’t go wrong by incorporating this trend into your capsule wardrobe. And flower prints aren’t just for warm weather – they can effortlessly transition from fresh and fun in spring to unexpectedly chic and bold in winter.

5. Athleisure Meets Tailoring

One of the hottest 2025 trends is mixing athleisure separates with tailored pieces. Tracksuits are back in a big way, but they’re being paired with pleated skirts and structured blazers. Because both tailored and athleisure pieces are wardrobe mainstays, this combo is an easy way to reinvent your look with items you already own.

6. ’70s Revival (Fringe!)

The ‘70s style isn’t going anywhere, even as other generations have come and gone. But for 2025, we’re seeing less flower power ’70s and more retro-glam ’70s. Rich earth tones, tailored suede jackets, and bold paisley prints are taking center stage. Oh, and we can’t forget the fringe, which has found its way into every area of the wardrobe – jackets, blouses, dresses, shoes, and accessories.

Shopping Tip: Look for suede skirts, fringe jackets, or paisley prints at consignment shops to sustainably embrace this throwback style.

7. Boudoir Dressing

Sheer panels have been dominating the winter and spring fashion scene, and designers are leaning into the boudoir style with beautiful lace, lingerie shapes, sexy cutouts, bra tops, and more. The key to success with this trend is balancing elegance with seduction, like pairing a boudoir-esque element with simple neutrals. This is the perfect vibe to boost your confidence and help you channel your inner femme fatale.

Styling Tip: Layer a vintage lace top over a slip dress or pair sheer blouses with tailored pants for a high-fashion look.

8. Stripes, Stripes, Stripes

Stripes are a timeless favorite, but 2025 is giving them a fresh new look. From abstract angles to bold color pairings, stripes are bolder and more creative than ever. But that doesn’t mean you need to buy something entirely new to fit in; you can pair classic stripe patterns – like pinstripe and Breton – with playful colors or abstract patterns to create fresh, exciting outfits for 2025.

9. All White Everything

Forget the rule of not wearing white after Labor Day… white is officially a year-round color. It’s the perfect transitional color: winter whites are cozy and chic, while spring whites are fresh and airy. In particular, the Spring 2025 collections are showing ivory and cream in soft textures – like satin, silk, wool, and sheer fabrics – to create luxurious, timeless outfits.

10. Oversized trench coats

If there’s one item to invest in this season, it’s an oversized trench coat. Perfect for layering and adding structure, this staple piece makes even the simplest outfits look sophisticated. If an oversized coat doesn’t suit you, opt for a timeless tailored trench, then layer it over an oversized knit for the same cool, slouchy feel.
Psst… Neutral-toned trenches ensure your investment piece lasts for years.

11. Glam Meets Utility

When it comes to fashion, opposites definitely attract… like sequins and cargo pants! Designers are pairing utilitarian pieces with glam items, like army jackets with sequined skirts or cargo pants with a glittery top. This is a fun way to play around with style, letting you mix and match unexpected duos with pieces you already own.

12. Ornate Embellishments

The mantra for 2025? More is more. Brocade fabrics, sequins, metallics, and jeweled accents are giving everyday fashion a couture-level edge. These opulent details add a touch of drama to even the simplest pieces. Look for brocade jackets or embellished tops at consignment shops to add drama to your wardrobe.

13. Dresses Over Pants: A Trendy Throwback

Can’t decide whether to wear a dress or pants? Well, love it or hate it, the dresses-over-pants trend is back. This look works best with flowy dresses and sleek trousers for a daring, fashion-forward take on layering. Thankfully, you can give this trend a try with pieces you already have in your wardrobe to see if it works for you!

14. Polka Dots: Playful and Classic

Polka dots are popping up as the print of 2025. From micro dots to oversized prints, this cheerful pattern is having a major moment. And while they can still function as a statement, they’re also being used as a new “neutral” in many outfits, giving them a greater place in the everyday wardrobe.

15. Very Demure, Very Mindful

This season, fashion is very demure, very mindful. Classic styles are getting a modern twist. Bow-tie blouses, Peter Pan collars, and pleated skirts are getting an unexpected upgrade with details like asymmetry, bold prints, and metallic accents. These subtly subverted versions of girlish classics strike the perfect balance between elegant and contemporary.
