It’s the year of the snake, a year all about transformation! Buy those shoes and read that book! Keep reading to know what in and what’s out for 2025. In 2024 we fully embraced the y2k resurgence, with the comeback of low-rise jeans and matching tracksuits, pieces everybody swore would never comeback. Die-hard high-rise jeans fans shared their frustrations online at the fleeting fashion trend, something we did see the comeback to the mainstream in 2024 is animal print. Especially leopard and cheetah print.
“Cheetah print is so overdone now. Now it just looks tacky. I prefer florals,” senior Strawberry Kit said.
Flowers have taken oven 2024, From mini floral patterns to bright and bold flowers painted across fabric. Floral print is versatile and is something coming with us going into 2025, as well as polka dots. Polka dots bring timeless, playful charm to whatever item they decorate. This classic pattern is already reaching it’s renaissance with more brands experimenting with the pattern for it’s ability to add whimsy to any outfit, from dresses to blouses buy your polka dots now ahead of the new year before it becomes overdone and tacky, like ripped jeans. Denim is a constant in the fashion world, but in recent years we’ve seen the shift from skinny jeans to 80 mom jeans, to the now popular baggy boyfriend jeans. Any style of jeans can be ruined by too many holes. Big rips in jeans just aren’t practical. The pants can’t keep you warm, it’s a pain to put on, and looks like you got mauled from the waist down. Therefore, overly ripped jeans flop. And they will be a time capsule of the past, if you’re still looking for some edge in your jeans, vintage wash jeans are on the rise and give a re-imagined look so the everyday jeans. Baby tee’s are here to stay, with their cropped fitted silhouette capturing the ongoing Y2K nostalgia, you can find baby tee’s everywhere today, either plain or adorned with a fun graphic print or a trendy saying. The blend of comfort and nostalgia makes baby tees a go-to-choice for a relaxed yet trendy look, and their versatility ensure they’ll be sticking around for 2025.
“Baby tee’s are the perfect length, it’s not too showy you can wear it anywhere,” junior Rocio Torres said.
As we embrace what’s new. It’s time to revisit the trends that have had their moment. Here’s what’s stepping aside as we move into 2025. Bucket hats had a strong run thanks to street wear trends, but they’ve lost their charm and made their way or the public zeitgeist. People today are gravitating toward sleeker, more structured head wear like, baseball caps or wide brimmed hats. Neon clothes brought bright and fun energy into everybody’s life, but it can be challenging to incorporate regularly into a wardrobe. In 2025 let’s switch toward softer, earthier tones and pastels. Although the Y2K trend brought back rhinestones, flashy accessories, and low-rise lengths, the nostalgia wave is bound to die out and favor other retro era’s like the 70’s and 80’s fully embracing trends like shoulder pads, and funky patterns. The fast fashion industry has faced increasing backlash for its environmental impact and ethical concerns. In 2024, a significant shift toward sustainable and mindful consumption gained traction, encouraging consumers to invest in quality pieces that sustain time rather than mass-produced items with lesser materials.
