Fashion Predictions: What to Expect in 2025’s Trend Landscape
2024 has been a groundbreaking year in the world of fashion. From the resurgence of daring animal prints to the embrace of vibrant colors and innovative texture pairings, this year's style moments have been nothing short of unforgettable. As we step into 2025, the fashion scene may face an intriguing shift, with trends likely gravitating toward more understated elegance and effortless sophistication.
Here’s a glimpse into the styles that could define the upcoming year and inspire your wardrobe evolution.
Fawn Print
Anthropologie: Bernado Spotted Faux-Fur Jacket
Leopard print was THE staple animal print this past year and it was almost inescapable. It is a bold, highly contrasting pattern, which makes it a good pattern for nights out or for special occasions. In 2025, animal prints may be softer and more feminine. One print that is gaining popularity is the fawn (deer) print.
This print is softer, with more muted colors and low contrast between its neutral tone brown fur and white spots. This pattern seamlessly blends into natural environments, giving it a more timeless and elegant essence. Fawn print will probably be used as a transition point from chilly winter months into the warmer spring season.
Up2Step: Nude Deer Print Furry Pull On Knee High Boots Block Heel Long Booties
Various brands such as FunPlusCute (NYC) and Up2Step are integrating fawn prints into their fashion pieces. Similar patterns, such as the Bernado Spotted Faux Fur Jacket at Anthropologie have the same feminine and elegant pattern as fawn print, but with a higher contrast and denser spots. Spotted garments, especially in a Fawn print or adjacent, are definitely predicted to overpower the market in this upcoming year.
Full Length Tube Tops
Tube Tops are making a stylish comeback after years out of the spotlight. Updated designs are now double-lined, made with higher-quality materials and fall at a longer length. Tube tops from brands such as Garage and Artizia are blowing up on TikTok because of their sleek, double-lined material that keeps tops securely hugged onto the body, fully opaque and have a luxuriously smooth feel.
Garage: Sculpt Longline Tubetop
Longer silhouettes add a touch of sophistication, and can easily be styled from day to night. Tube tops may become a fashion staple in 2025 because of their classic silhouette that is both functional and carries a minimalist charm. We predict that full-length tube tops will become widely accessible in the spring and summer months of 2025, in bright colors and classic neutrals.
Skinny Jeans
This might be a controversial take, but it seems like skinny jeans could also be making a comeback after their long hiatus from the spotlight since the 2010s.
Rag & Bone: Cate Ankle Skinny Jean
In 2025, skinny jeans won't be the star of the outfit; instead, they will be a neutral transition piece to avoid visual clutter in an outfit. TikTok influencers such as Alix Earle are embracing the skinny jean silhouette, especially when styled with an oversized top to balance out the look. Other TikTok users enjoy wearing their skinny jeans with tall chunky boots or unique high heels for a fresh, revamped style.

The key to pulling off skinny jeans in 2025 is to include at least one standout element in your look. Without it, your outfit might feel flat. Consider pairing them with intriguing shoes like Uggs, extreme thigh-high boots or neutral-colored heels. As slimmer silhouettes gain traction online, this trend could continue to evolve well into the year.
Sheer Skirts
The textured fabric mesh may be gaining popularity in 2025, especially when it is styled in elegant midi-length skirts. Using mesh in long skirts adds a sheerness that adds some sultry and maturity to elongate your looks.

Black mesh skirts seem to be the most popular color of this style as of right now, but we predict that various colors, such as maroon or navy, may also pop up in the market in the next couple of months. Scalloped edges may also become popular in sheer skirts to add even more dimension and movement to your silhouette.
Early trends emerging online and on social media suggest that fashion in 2025 may shift towards simplicity and elegance, moving away from the bold designs and textures of 2024. We may see the return of iconic pieces from previous years, reimagined with a more modern and sophisticated twist. In 2025, classic wardrobe staples will be essential for maintaining a stylish look. As consumerism takes a step back, the focus is shifting toward timeless pieces that may overcome smaller microtrends that we've seen in 2024. Stay ahead of the trends, keep an eye on what’s coming and share your favorites as they emerge!
