A new year means a new start—most excitingly for my closet. (I have a feeling you can relate.) With the first major 2025 fashion trends hitting the runways and our feeds, there’s plenty of fresh inspiration to be found right now, whether you’re shopping your existing collection or assembling an entirely updated capsule wardrobe.
As a shopping editor with a major focus on style, I’ve been keeping a close eye on the spring 2025 catwalks, taking note of emerging trends in person and online. And the vibe for the year ahead is all about you—projecting a sense of your true self to the world. Sure, that’s the point of personal style, but after a few years dominated by quiet (and, some might say, boring) luxury, it’s now trendier than ever to dress for your own gaze. Accessories like bag charms and hair accessories are popping up everywhere; asymmetrical silhouettes are here to add visual intrigue; bold styling choices are making staples like everyday leggings and straight-leg jeans feel daring. It’s a sartorial free-for-all.
Of course, I also picked up on some more specific pieces, colors, and vibes, should you want a clearer road map for the year ahead. Boho style is officially here to stay, as is classic American prep and Chanel’s signature dame riche aesthetic. Pistachio green is shaping up to be the color of the year, according to labels like Tory Burch, Tibi, and Simone Rocha. The hottest (and slimmest) sneaker trend of the year might surprise you, too—and it’s already available at Nordstrom and Amazon.
Below, dive into my favorite major fashion trends of 2025 that’ll keep you ahead of the curve. Just like that, you’ll be the best-dressed person you know.

1. Bohemian daydream
Boho’s been back for almost a year now, but spring’s best runways have taken the aesthetic in its dreamiest direction yet. Sheer fabrics and handicraft detailing abound in the most recent collections from Chloé, Valentino, Fendi, and Armani, which went heavy on beading and embroidery. The attitude extended to hair, too; labels like Elena Velez and Cucculelli Shaheen adorned models’ hair with flowy ribbons and gold jewelry. We’re all for layering sheer pieces and investing in vintage gowns—but you can get the same effect by, say, throwing on a pair of lace tights and leaving your hair messy when you’re off to brunch.

2. Ladies who lunch
Tweed was on everyone’s mind this season, perhaps because loud luxury is back (or maybe because Chanel was in the middle of the massive search for a creative director). Whatever motivated the big swing toward ladylike style, we’re not upset—some old-school elegance is never a bad addition to your wardrobe, trendy or not. Chanel did its usual thing; Gucci and Louis Vuitton found muses in society women; Celine essentially released its version of a Chanel collection, featuring just a hint of camp. So no matter your tax bracket, it’s a great time to invest in a classic dress or a gold-buttoned cardigan worthy of Jackie O.
3. Pops of pistachio
With early-2010s staples like big bags and cropped leather jackets back in the zeitgeist, it was only a matter of time until one of the biggest colors of the era came along with them. I’m talking, of course, about mint green, which is staging a comeback (with a little more verdancy for 2025) as pistachio. Pastels like butter yellow and pale pink trended last year, and this take on green feels especially fresh right now. I spotted the shade on dresses at Tove and Chloé, bottoms at Tibi and Tory Burch, and accessories at Prada and Simone Rocha. It’s undeniable—and somehow still under the radar. Remedy that with the pieces below.

4. Excessive accessorization
Bag charms were some of the hottest accessories of the previous year, and their playful, highly personalized appeal is bleeding into every other bauble on the market. In a preview of what’s to come, Coach covered spring’s bags in faux stickers and Chopova Lowena sprinkled studs on to hair bows and sneakers. And at labels such as Moschino and Saint Laurent, models walked the runway laden with as much jewelry as they could carry. (Chaotic layering, a close cousin of this trend, also popped up at Miu Miu and Acne Studios.) Start showing off your personal style with gigantic hair bows, sneaker charms, busy necklaces, and layered key chains—in this, more is more.

5. Prep school
A distinctly American mode of prep has dominated fashion for the last few years, and 2025’s first catwalks only proved it’s here to stay. But crucially, none of it’s played quite straight: Collars are askew, traditional shirting doubles as dresses, pleated trousers sprout built-in belts or skirts. This preppy, academic look is about knowing the rules and choosing to break them in service of your own take on style. Untuck your shirt or wear your black loafers with white socks; you’ll be replicating styling tricks from some of my favorite shows, including Prada and Bottega Veneta.

6. Extra-slim sneakers
At Ralph Lauren, Miu Miu, Stella McCartney, and Dior, models wore sneakers with barely there soles, projecting an athletic ease. Lots of brands clearly found inspiration in boxing shoes, showing silhouettes that climbed up the legs and looked light as air. (I’ll continue to monitor this trend to let you know if it’s just a runway thing or if you should invest in a pair.) In the meantime, these low-tops, especially those white sneakers from Dries Van Noten that every fashion editor owns, are right on trend—and very wearable right now.

7. Elevated athleisure
A decade after normcore turned everyday essentials like gray hoodies and black leggings into fashion statements, luxury labels are once again finding inspiration in the least glamorous pieces in everyone’s wardrobe. At Ferragamo, models looked like they were leaving ballet class; at Tory Burch, the pool; at Tod’s, track practice. None of these pieces (save for that sequinned tank) are showstoppers that would look out of place in the gym or on a coffee run; the appeal here comes down to smart styling. Spend a moment considering color, texture, and layering, and your basics will look like luxury pieces.

8. Vegan safari
After blowing up in 2024, leopard print is nowhere near done for 2025—in fact, it’s being joined by snakeskin, zebra, and almost the entire animal kingdom. (Everything’s faux, of course.) It’s rare to find consensus across the industry, but this one is completely clear: Prada, Ganni, Luar, Dries Van Noten, Jacquemus, Nanushka, and Caro Editions all used animal prints in one form or another. If you’re not ready to commit to a dress, a faux-fur coat or semi-abstract skirt are great places to start.

9. Easy asymmetry
One of the easiest runway trends of the year to re-create on a smaller scale is asymmetry. Arty and intriguing, these pieces invite a second look—and ooze I-just-threw-this-on ease. I’ve been most smitten with the asymmetrical skirts at Alaïa and Bottega Veneta; the latter’s were almost imperceptibly tilted to one side, suggesting they had been thrown on before running out the door. But the off-kilter offerings at Dior, Burberry, and Tory Burch are also eye candy, proving that the pieces below will elevate your wardrobe with pretty much zero effort.
