New year, new vibe—let’s talk the looks you’ll actually want to wear.
Can we just take a second to process how fast we went from summer selfies to 2025 vibes? Wild. But hey, new year means it’s time to shake things up—especially your style game. If you’re ready to glow up your closet (and your vibe), we’ve got the trends you’ll want to snag before everyone else.
From TikTok aesthetics to runway inspo, here’s what’s gonna be everywhere this year—and how to make it totally you.
1. Serving Futurecore
Y3K metallic fashion with silver pants and edgy shapes
Y3K is here, and it’s all about metallics, edgy vibes, and “I survived the apocalypse but make it fashion” energy.
The easiest way to incorporate the Y3K aesthetic into your wardrobe is with shiny silver and metallic touches, whether that’s with a sleek metal bag or silver pants. But the trend also encompasses a more dystopian vibe, with unexpected, destroyed shapes and silhouettes that make it look like you survived the apocalypse. Mix utilitarian pieces like cargo pants with jackets and tops in cool, edgy shapes for a fun juxtaposition that feels straight out of the next century.
2. Boho, But She’s Cool Now

Flowy dresses meet biker jackets. Soft, dreamy, and just a little rebellious.
ICYMI, Chloé is back—and so is its signature boho aesthetic. Under the wing of designer Chemena Kamali, the beloved fashion line made a big splash in 2024 and had us revisiting the boho-chic era of the mid-2000s. The look is all about flowing dresses and tops in airy materials like chiffon to convey an aura of enchantment and ease. Lace blouses are also a great way to incorporate a bit of boho into your day-to-day life. The more ruffles, the better!
3. Doll Life, Evolved
Barbie-inspired candy-colored fashion with surreal accessories
Barbie vibes with a twist—think candy colors, platform Mary Janes, and mini bags that hold nothing.
Barbie hasn’t quite let us out of her plastic grip yet. Though the hot pink heyday of Barbiecore is firmly in the rear-view mirror, dolls are still having a moment. In 2025, expect to see more candy-colored fashion and surrealism-inspired accessories, a la Marc Jacobs’s instantly viral fall 2024 show; as evidence that the trend has (plastic) legs, Kaia Gerber recently wore a head-to-toe Marc Jacobs ensemble on the December cover of Vogue, complete with oversized gloves and a shellacked hairstyle.
4. Cherry Crush
Cherry-inspired bold red aesthetic for 2025 fashion
Strawberry’s out; cherries are in. It’s giving bold reds and major main character energy.
Move over, Strawberry Girl! There’s a new fruit-inspired aesthetic coming in 2025. Though the strawberry girl aesthetic was mostly beauty-driven, the cherry girl look will be the best of both worlds, with the color taking over our closets and our glam routines. Think deep, rich red, just like in-season cherries shining in a bag at the grocery store.
5. Wild for Prints
Leopard and tiger print outfits styled for runway looks
Leopard, tiger, cow, oh my! Animal prints are here to make every outfit roar.
Oh, you thought leopard print was on its way out? Think again! As we saw on the resort 2025 runways, animal print isn’t going anywhere. Leopard print will still be a go-to, but cow print, snakeskin, and tiger stripes are also trending. You can wear animal print anywhere and everywhere, including coats, boots, and jeans.
6. Extra, Extra ‘80s
Maximalist 1980s-inspired fashion with oversized accessories
Bold prints, big earrings, and oversized everything. Maximalism is your new bestie.
As we said above, maximalism is back. Well, OK, it’s been building for a few years; elements of ‘80s style have been popping up on the runways and IRL for a few years. But 2025 is the perfect time to take it to the next level! Channel the ‘80s with floral print dresses and jackets, bold earrings, embellished tops, and lots of rich, deep, bold colors.
7. Denim Overload
Layered denim outfits featuring baggy jeans, skirts, and jackets
All the denim, all the time. Baggy jeans, skirts, jackets—just layer it up and go.
Give your favorite jeans an upgrade for 2025. Denim is a cornerstone of basically every wardrobe and 2025 will be a fun year to experiment with your jean looks. Wide-leg, barrel-leg, and baggy jeans will continue to be popular.
8. Sporty but Make It Retro

Swap your athleisure leggings and zip-ups in favor of old-school styles like tracksuits and windbreakers. The sporty trend is set to explode in 2025; the roots of the trend started with the return of preppy fashion and varsity jackets, and in the coming year, we’ll be heading to the gym (or, you know, to brunch) in ‘70s-, ‘80s-, and ‘90s-inspired athletic gear.
9. Oversized Blazer + Bike Shorts

Concert vibes: Hip-hop or experimental shows.
Equal parts streetwear and sophisticated, this pairing is comfy, bold, and totally concert-ready. To complete the look, add chunky sneakers and an oversized bag.
So, which vibe are you trying first? Whether it’s Cherry Girl energy or maxed-out ‘80s glam, 2025 is all about making bold choices and owning your look. You’ve got this.
