Timeless Style: 5 Fashion Trends From 2024 We’re Bringing Into 2025
As the year draws to a close, it’s time to pause, reflect, and celebrate milestones—whether it’s embracing wellness trends like “hot girl walks” or considering a digital detox with a minimalist phone for 2025. It’s also an opportunity to revisit the fashion moments that defined the year while setting our style intentions for the next.
In 2024, our craving for comfort didn’t translate to tracksuits and sneakers but instead leaned toward calming, luxurious tones and textures. While boho chic made a triumphant return, quirky and bold choices like slogan tees, capris, and unconventional footwear kept things lively. Here’s a roundup of the year’s standout trends that we’re carrying forward into 2025.
50 Shades of… Brown
Creamy, toasted shades like tan, beige, and mocha mousse dominated wardrobes in 2024. While neon green may have ruled the zeitgeist, these understated earthy tones took center stage in everyday fashion. Influenced by the resurgence of boho aesthetics, suede jackets paired with silver jewelry and loose denim became a go-to. As these versatile tones continue to exude warmth and sophistication, they’re poised to remain a favorite in 2025.
Oversized Bags
If your bag couldn’t fit a book, laptop, and an outfit change, it didn’t make the cut in 2024. Oversized carryalls like the Coach Empire Carryall 35, The Row Margaux, and the Balenciaga Rodeo bag reigned supreme. These “ludicrously capacious” bags offered both practicality and style. Having found our perfect oversized companions, we’re keeping them in rotation for 2025.
Weird Shoes
Footwear in 2024 was anything but ordinary. Shoes became the punctuation marks of our outfits, delivering subversive fashion statements. Sexy thong heels paired with capris, chunky dad shoes styled with skirts, and whimsical jelly sandals added humor and edge to our wardrobes. As 2025 approaches, we’re keeping these bold, playful footwear choices firmly on our radar.
Haute Boho
Boho chic made an elegant comeback in 2024, led by Chemena Kamali at Chloé. Drawing inspiration from Phoebe Philo’s iconic era, Kamali elevated the aesthetic with floating translucent fabrics, milky pastels, and supple tan leathers. Channeling effortless sex appeal and comfort, this refined take on boho is here to stay, blending nostalgia and modernity in a way that resonates deeply.
Oval Sunglasses
While boho aesthetics inspired much of our fashion, 2024’s sunglasses trend stayed streamlined and sleek, thanks to Hailey Bieber’s ultra-slim Saint Laurent frames. These chic oval sunglasses remain a staple accessory, and their timeless appeal ensures they’ll continue dominating eyewear choices in 2025.
The Path Ahead
As we transition into 2025, the trends that shaped 2024—from earthy tones and oversized accessories to daring footwear and nostalgic aesthetics—highlight our collective desire for both comfort and individuality. Whether it’s embracing the effortless charm of haute boho or continuing to experiment with bold shoe choices, the year ahead promises to build on 2024’s stylish foundations while opening doors to new fashion opportunities.
